Engie My Power: Solar self-consumption service for homes

Engie is pushing deeper into energy-as-a-service for households with its My Power solar self-consumption offer, which packages rooftop panels, inverters, installation, and digital monitoring into a single service proposition for residential customers. The program is designed to let homeowners generate and consume their own electricity locally, reducing grid dependence and stabilizing bills, while Engie provides engineering, connection to the grid where applicable, and ongoing support. My Power is one of several digital and service-led initiatives the French utility has highlighted as it pivots away from legacy fossil assets toward renewable generation and customer solutions.

What Engie My Power offers to residential customers

My Power targets households that have sufficient roof or ground space and want a turnkey way to install solar panels and use most of the power on site rather than exporting everything to the grid. Under this service, Engie assesses roof orientation and shading, designs a photovoltaic (PV) system sized to the household’s typical annual consumption, and arranges installation by certified partners. In markets where it is offered, such as parts of Europe, Engie also handles administrative steps like grid connection requests and, where available, metering for surplus exports or feed-in tariffs.

A key piece of My Power is its digital layer: customers can track their generation and consumption through an online portal or app, see how much of their usage is covered by self-produced solar, and monitor cost savings and avoided CO2 emissions. Engie has emphasized that these demand-side digital tools are part of its broader strategy to create “green and flexible” customer solutions alongside its investments in renewables and low-carbon infrastructure. The service model allows Engie to capture recurring revenue from operations, maintenance, and optional add-ons such as storage or smart-home integration.

While technical specifications vary by market and installer, My Power typically pairs standard residential PV modules with string inverters sized to the array capacity, and in some offers can be combined with battery storage to increase the share of on-site consumption. System sizes for single-family homes in Engie’s European markets often fall in the range of roughly 3 kW to 9 kW, depending on roof area and local regulation, which is consistent with typical residential solar deployments reported by regional energy agencies; Engie’s own materials emphasize tailoring the system to the customer’s consumption profile rather than maximizing nominal capacity. Pricing is usually presented as an all-in installed cost or in some countries as a financed monthly payment, with the business case oriented around bill reduction over several years, although exact prices and subsidy conditions depend on the specific national framework and are not quoted centrally by Engie.

Engie positions My Power as a way for customers to actively participate in the energy transition by producing renewable electricity at home, complementing the company’s large-scale renewable projects such as offshore wind and utility-scale solar. The model also supports Engie’s push into distributed energy resources: small PV systems, when aggregated via digital platforms, can in principle support local balancing and, over time, flexibility services to the grid. Although Engie’s public descriptions of My Power focus primarily on self-consumption and bill savings for homeowners, they sit within a portfolio that also includes smart meters, electric mobility, and, through partnerships, renewable hydrogen initiatives.

From the perspective of households in Engie’s core markets, the attractiveness of My Power depends heavily on local policy and grid rules. In countries with net-metering, export premiums, or tax credits, the payback period for rooftop solar can be relatively short, while markets that have moved to self-consumption-only regimes rely more on high retail prices and falling PV costs to make the economics work. Engie uses its experience as a major utility to navigate these regulatory details, positioning My Power as a “no hassle” offer for customers who do not want to manage permitting, installer selection, or product specification themselves. For shoppers comparing offers, that bundled convenience, together with digital tracking of production, is a central part of the value proposition.

My Power also complements Engie’s focus on decarbonization commitments at the corporate level. Engie has repeatedly underlined in its investor materials and press releases that growth in “client solutions” and retail energy services sits alongside its build-out of renewable capacity and low-carbon assets. The service helps Engie strengthen customer relationships at the distribution edge while shifting its revenue mix toward regulated and contracted activities that are less exposed to commodity price volatility. From a strategic standpoint, My Power is a showcase for how Engie is trying to translate its large-scale investments in renewables into visible, customer-facing products that support its broader energy transition narrative.
