I would also say the meanings are the same.
However, in the plural form, the word "competencies" is used far more often than "competences". Thus, there is a noticeable grammatical difference: the word "competency" is more likely to be used as a countable noun. The plural "competencies" can be used to refer to various different/specific areas of competence.
