The subscription took place during an event in the capital Belo Horizonte, at which the Federal Government announced a set of investments in Minas Gerais that are part of the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC). The ceremony was attended by the CEO of Neoenergia, Eduardo Capelastegui, and several authorities, including the President of the Republic Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira; the President of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco; and the Governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema

“As leaders of the country's energy transition, we continue to play an active role in decarbonization and the advancement of clean energy sources.

In 2023, Neoenergia's transmission investments reached around R$ 3.5 billion aimed at delivering 1.2 thousand kilometers of lines and three new substations, in addition to sections of lots under construction, such as the Vale do Itajaí, Lagoa de Patos and Morro do Chapéu projects, which added an Annual Permissible Revenue (RAP) of over R$ 170
