Energisa, one of the largest energy distribution companies in Brazil in the private sector, announced at an event for investors a massive investment in the expansion and diversification of its businesses, including renewable energy. The total investment until 2026 will be R$ 29.5 million, which represents 1.6 times the amount invested in 2017 to date.

Ricardo Botelho, CEO of Energisa, points out that this large investment will balance Energisa’s accounts in relation to the markets in which the company operates.
With this new investment, the company will modify its portfolio, which currently focuses primarily on distribution. By the completion of the investments in 2026, the company expects the distribution segment to account for 53% of investments, while generation/transmission and other businesses will reach about 47%.

What Do We Know About Energisa’s New Strategy?

This new strategy has been dubbed the 4Ds of Energisa (Diversification, Digitalization, Decarbonization, and Decentralization) and to follow this direction, the company has also been investing since the beginning of the year in strengthening its executive leadership.

This included hiring new professionals and creating vice-presidency positions, which brought new competencies for the development of group services and increased focus on marketing and sales.

Roberta Godoy, Vice President of Energy Solutions, who is responsible for distributed generation, marketing, and energy solutions, points out that “by 2026 we will connect demands, offers, people, services, customers, and experiences in a single complete platform, exploring synergy between the different businesses of the group.”

Another intention of the company is to quintuple its customer base in the next 3 years. She commented, “We are investing R$ 300 million in constructing our own solar plants, which will result in a total generation of 77.7 MW by the end of this year. By 2024, we plan to install more than 460 MW of our own assets, with an estimated investment of over R$ 2.3 million. Additionally, our goal is to increase from 2,000 small and medium enterprises to around 10,000 companies served.”

To achieve this goal, there will still be a significant investment in digital sales channels through licensed companies. Another interesting aspect is that the company is investing in other possibilities for green energy, and in this case, biogas could not be left out. Investments in this area are in synergy with the company’s expertise, with a strong focus on distribution.
