For 26 years, Neoenergia has been working to build a more sustainable and affordable electric energy model for Brazilians. In line with the global movement for energy transition and decarbonization of the economy, the company was a pioneer in the generation of renewable energy in the country, investing in wind energy since the beginning of the 2000s.

Over the course of more than two decades, it consolidated its distribution and transmission presence in the five regions of Brazil and expanded clean energy projects - today its operations also include solar and hydraulic sources and partnerships to enable the production of offshore wind energy and the development of green hydrogen.
