In addition to the health crisis, the coronavirus pandemic is a financially difficult period for the most vulnerable people. Faced with this situation, Engie decided to make a gesture to relieve certain households. The electricity supplier has announced that it will reimburse the subscription amount for two months to the poorest families, reports Le Parisien on Monday.
