utilities
Not sure on what ground you state that these companies are no utilities - Suez is part of the Dow Jones (Euro) Stoxx Utilities sector index. Air Liquide, however, is in the Chemicals sector, so you may want to distinguish it (or at least include a comment).

provider
I think "providers" or "energy providers" is a suitable and delicate option.
