In a public announcement this past Wednesday, the 15th, Eneva discussed the incorporation of the company Focus Energia. This incorporation is essentially a ‘takeover,’ where Eneva will assume Focus Energia’s customer base, as well as the entire portfolio of the company’s renewable projects, which total 3.7 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of already installed capacity. The negotiation was made for around R$ 960 million. In an interview regarding this significant news, Eneva reported that the idea is to diversify energy sources, as well as business models, in a strategic approach to growth and energy transition, achieving increasingly cleaner, more economical, and efficient energy, according to company executives.
