The green pivot: ENGIE's Thomas Baudlot
Thomas Baudlot, chief executive of power producer ENGIE's Asia Pacific energy solutions, explains why green energy is no longer an option but a necessity, even for an erstwhile traditional utilities group.
ENERGY companies are evolving quickly as the world shifts to cleaner and greener energy. ENGIE, for one, has shifted from a traditional energy corporation to being green-driven, and is now looking to help other organisations chart their transition roadmaps.
Thomas Baudlot, 41, head of ENGIE South-east Asia and chief executive of the group's Asia Pacific energy solutions, tells The Business Times that going green was a "very simple" decision for the French utility group.
Once the world's largest independent power generator, ENGIE was a traditional utility enterprise - one with very carbon-intensive operations, and heavy exposure to coal.
