Launch of the Public Call for Projects
In São Paulo, on December 13, 2024, Enel Brasil, one of the leading private companies in the electric sector in the country, announced the Public Call for Projects, designated as CPP 001/2024. This initiative aims for the financing of projects for energy efficiency at the company’s three main utilities in Brazil. The Public Call for Projects, open until March 7, 2025, invites customers from the distributors in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Ceará to submit their proposals according to the full notice. In total, the fund allocated for the Public Call for Projects amounts to R$59.5 million, with R$10.6 million allocated for Public Lighting, while the remaining R$48.9 million covers various other categories of proposals.

In the state of São Paulo, the Public Call for Projects accepts proposals with values between R$1 million and R$4.5 million. In Rio de Janeiro, values range from R$500 thousand to R$800 thousand, and in Ceará, from R$250 thousand to R$500 thousand. The Public Call for Projects is funded under the auspices of the Energy Efficiency Program (PEE) of ANEEL. This measure aims to ensure a clearer and fairer selection process.

Eligible participants for CPP 001/2024 include individuals and entities from the Commercial, Industrial, Residential, Rural, Public Power, Public Services, and Public Lighting sectors. The projects may involve various actions such as replacing equipment with more efficient models, updating motor systems, installing solar and photovoltaic heaters, and modernizing refrigeration and lighting systems.
Selection and Evaluation of Projects
Projects submitted under the Public Call for Projects will undergo a rigorous evaluation of mandatory documentation, execution quality, and innovation of the submitted proposals. This evaluation process follows methodologies defined by ANEEL, under the analysis of a Judging Committee that evaluates and scores the projects based on criteria established in the Public Call notice. Marcia Massotti, Director of Sustainability at Enel Brasil, highlights the relevance of the Public Calls for Projects held annually: ‘Investing in proposals that focus on energy efficiency, integrating technology and innovation, is a commitment to tangible benefits. In addition to reducing costs, these initiatives promote awareness about the responsible use of energy, playing a fundamental role in mitigating the effects of climate change.’
Contribution to a Sustainable Future
Thus, Enel Brasil reinforces its commitment to supporting a just and sustainable energy transition, as well as driving innovative solutions that impress the Judging Committee with their interdisciplinarity. Projects that highlight green technologies and generate positive social impact are highly valued, not only for their potential to strengthen the energy sector but also for their significant contribution to decarbonization and improving quality of life.
Public Call Workshop and Engagement
Scheduled for the first half of 2025, the Public Call for Projects Workshop will be held by the Group distributors. The event aims to expand knowledge about the investments made, presenting innovative projects and the values that each state will receive. During the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to clarify doubts and better understand the timeline and legal aspects of the process. Since 1998, Enel Brasil’s Energy Efficiency Program has invested approximately R$1.7 billion in 995 projects focused on conscious consumption and improvement of electrical installations. Enel reaffirms its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda, promoting accessible and clean energy as outlined in SDG 7.
