Inovação e futuro do setor

Innovation and the Future of the Industry

  • BRL 19 million invested in R&DI
  • 15 projects in progress and 4 completed
  • 7 patent concepts and 7 new applications

Green energy

The Green Hydrogen (H2V) project involves the development of a pilot plant at a customer’s industrial site to validate the business model for producing and commercializing green hydrogen. The investment of approximately BRL 60 million, funded through funds allocated by ANEEL, will also assess the model’s impact on the electricity sector.

Automation and security

The Hydroblast Machine is designed to remove golden mussel encrustations from the grilles at the Jupiá HPP using hydroblasting. In addition to improving the efficiency of this preventive maintenance activity and helping prevent equipment downtime, it reduces the risks associated with human intervention, particularly tasks carried out by divers.

Energy storage

CTG Brasil has completed the installation of the storage facility (a pilot plant) for the FlexBESS Project, which tests the use of batteries to store excess solar energy for later use during peak demand periods.

Sustainability as a value

During its participation in COP30 in Belém (PA), CTG Brasil highlighted the link between renewable energy generation and social development and environmental conservation. Throughout the event, the company took part in the official program, reinforcing its leadership in renewable energy, showcasing projects with social impact, and advancing discussions on innovations such as reversible power plants, energy storage, and the integration of social and environmental measures into carbon credit initiatives.

Support for income generation

Presented as case studies at COP30, the projects under the “Usina de Negócios” (Business Plant) initiative are currently being conducted in the vicinity of the Serra da Palmeira Wind Farm (PB) and the Arinos Solar Farm (MG). The event also featured a presentation of the Making a Difference project, which focuses on implementing social technologies, expanding access to water, and supporting agricultural production.

The Business Plant initiative is also implemented in the vicinity of the Ilha Solteira HPP and serves as a structured tool for income generation and the strengthening of local supply chains. Overall, the projects have generated more than BRL 1 million in income for participants, reaching 14 municipalities across the states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraíba, and Minas Gerais. The initiatives include technical training, seed capital, mentoring, and consulting services aimed at strengthening associations and expanding access to marketing channels.

Social initiatives

BRL 23.6 million invested

in social programs via tax incentive legislation and the company’s own resources

30 projects supported

across 44 municipalities.

32,500 people benefited

directly and indirectly.

Eighteen initiatives financed through federal laws

targeting education, sports, and culture, prioritizing children and adolescents, older adults, women, and people with disabilities.

Brazil-China cultural integration

To strengthen cultural dialogue and corporate relations, CTG Brasil sponsored the National Ballet of China’s performance in Brazil through the Culture Incentive Law. This initiative is part of the broader cultural exchange agenda between the two countries. The company also fully offset all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by the national tour.

Environmental results

3.5 million fish were released in 2025. Since 2016, a total of 28 million fish has been released into the Paraná and Paranapanema river basins.

CTG Brasil has offset 100% of its direct emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by investing in forest conservation projects (REDD+) in the Amazon, which prevented the release of 1,752 tCO2 of carbon into the atmosphere.

Seven thousand seedlings were donated to restore Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) on properties located along the banks of the Sucuriú River

2026–2030 Strategic Cycle

In 2025, work commenced on the 2026–2030 Strategic Cycle, with senior leadership undertaking a comprehensive review of the business and its key variables to shape the five‑year action plan. The process incorporated assessments by external experts covering economics, regulation, politics, human resources, and artificial intelligence. Centered on its core operations, the strategy reconfirms the company’s commitment to operational excellence, safety, plant availability, and exclusive investment in 100% clean energy.

Efficiency and safety

The year 2025 closed with CTG Brasil’s best safety record to date, registering zero serious accidents.

The company achieved its strongest historical reduction in unplanned outages, with only 18 incidents across 70 generating units, surpassing the previous year’s record.

The second phase of the Periodic Safety Review (PSR) confirmed that all dams are low-risk and fully safe.

The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) advanced to a new stage with tabletop drills to test readiness and decision-making; and the Dam Safety Center (DSC) at the Jupiá Hydroelectric Plant was inaugurated, incorporating real-time data analysis.

Financial Performance

BRL 6.4 billion

+9.8% in consolidated net operating income

BRL 2.7 billion
