Nexway Has R$ 53.5 Million Invested in 70 Energy Efficiency Projects. In Brazil, the Market Has the Potential to Move Over R$ 20 Billion

The subsidiary of the Comerc Energia group, Nexway Eficiência, will receive a billion-dollar investment from the infrastructure fund managed by Perfin, Perfin Mercury. The goal is to invest in energy efficiency projects in Brazil over the next few years, based on a model in which Nexway invests in technologies to reduce energy consumption, and after the solution is applied, the client pays a monthly amount based on the savings achieved.

The Brazilian Nexway reported a 141% growth in receivables over the last year, resulting in the launch of a new brand with an independent, more robust structure focused on expanding this model in Brazil.

With the aim of investing in infrastructure projects targeting the energy and sanitation sectors, the Perfin Mercury fund is wrapping up its first fundraising round. By the end of last year, Nexway Eficiência had over R$ 53.5 million invested in 70 energy efficiency projects, and in the next three years, together with Perfin, the expectation is to reach an additional R$ 300 million in investment.

According to the founding partner of Perfin, Ralph Gustavo Rosenberg, who is responsible for management and is an expert in the energy and infrastructure sectors, if there is no significant change in mindset and nothing is done to improve energy efficiency in Brazil, costs will become unmanageable for industries to operate. Business owners will need to hire companies like Nexway to conduct an analysis of their energy efficiency – replacing air compressors, changing motors, refrigeration systems, boilers, among others.

Marcel Haratz, CEO of Nexway Eficiência, emphasizes that companies achieve better cost-effectiveness by adopting energy efficiency solutions, projects that can even serve as a way to increase competitiveness and a pathway out of this crisis.

Perfin and Comerc are already partners in other business fronts and should jointly explore this opportunity, as the energy efficiency market has the potential to move over R$ 20 billion in Brazil, but is still underdeveloped.

In Brazil, energy waste is a reality with significant economic impacts. According to the Federal Government, it is estimated that if nothing is done to improve energy efficiency in Brazil, by 2029 we could have a waste of 30,000 GWh per year just in industry and commerce, which represents more than 37% of all generation from Itaipu in 2019. According to projections from the Brazilian Association of Energy Conservation Service Companies (ABESCO), with energy efficiency projects, the industry has the potential to save R$ 4 billion per year, while the retail sector’s estimate is R$ 2.4 billion.

In addition to financial savings, energy efficiency also brings gains for sustainability. Due to energy efficiency projects implemented by Nexway until 2020, over 13,000 tons of CO2 were prevented from being released into the atmosphere.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.

11-year-old girl sees that the family didn’t have money for her father’s headstone, sets up a lemonade stand and raises almost $3,000 with the help of the community.

Archaeologists excavating a train project in France have found, under meters of mud from the Seine River, a Mesolithic camp from 10,000 years ago that seemed to have disappeared from human history.

Son finds father’s forgotten notebooks and helps scientists solve the mystery of a 55-million-year-old marine fossil that remained unanswered for almost three decades.

While other coffees escape the American tariff hike, Brazilian instant coffee is excluded, raising an alert in the sector and may become up to 37.5% more expensive in the United States.

Central Bank changes rule that lasted decades and allows dollar and euro accounts in Brazil for exporters and companies with foreign capital, eliminating the need for currency exchange in some transfers starting in October 2026.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
