Corporate Profile

We are Eletrobras (Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A), the leading electricity generation and transmission company in Brazil. Currently, we operate 100 power plants with an installed capacity of 44.6 gigawatts (GW), accounting for 22% of the national capacity. We also manage 73.8 thousand kilometers of transmission lines, representing 37% of the National Interconnected System (SIN).

Of the total energy generated by the company, 96.5% comes from low greenhouse gas emission sources (hydropower, wind, and solar), contributing to making the national energy matrix one of the cleanest in the world.

We also operate in the energy efficiency and commercialization segments. In 2023, we strengthened our activities in these segments through the centralization and structuring of businesses.

We were founded in 1962 as a public company and, in 2022, we completed our capitalization process, reducing the Federal Union’s shareholding from 69% to approximately 43%. Thus, the government ceased to be the controller, and we became a privately controlled company. We have publicly traded shares on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

In January 2023, Eletrobras shareholders decided, at a General Meeting, to incorporate all shares of the controlled subsidiaries Eletrobras Chesf, CGT Eletrosul, Furnas, and Eletronorte, with the aim of becoming the sole shareholder of these companies. As a result, we ended the year with 100% of the shares of the operational subsidiaries.

Additionally, we hold 83.71% of the shares of Eletrobras Eletropar, a company that holds stakes in Transmissora Aliança de Energia Elétrica (Taesa), Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e Energia (Emae), and Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista (CTEEP), all concessionaires of public electricity services. We also have a stake in Eletronet S.A., a company that operates in the transmission of information signals and the provision of telecommunications services.

We also control six Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) and have stakes in another 63, through which we operate in transmission and generation projects.

In addition to our Brazilian operations, we have a stake in Uruguay through our participation in SPE Rouar S.A., in partnership with the Uruguayan state company Administración Nacional de Usinas y Transmisiones Eléctricas (UTE), operating a wind farm in the Department of Colonia.
