An Opportunity to Innovate in Strategic Issues of Electric Energy in Brazil
The National Electric System Operator (ONS) launches InovAberta, a pioneering initiative aimed at bringing together innovative startups and large corporations to develop creative solutions for the Brazilian electric sector. Applications will be open from March 13 to April 7, exclusively through the official program portal, seeking to attract proposals capable of significantly contributing to the improvement and modernization of operational procedures in the sector.
An Ecosystem of Innovation in Energy
This open innovation program aims not only to solve immediate challenges but also to foster a collaborative ecosystem that can sustain the continuous development and evolution of the national electric sector. InovAberta represents a unique opportunity for startups to demonstrate their potential in solving complex problems by creating Proofs of Concept (PoCs) in key areas identified by the ONS.
Strategic Challenges Ahead
Participants will face meticulously selected challenges, ranging from estimating plant maintenance rates for prospective studies to representing the impacts of electric vehicles on energy demand. The program seeks innovative solutions in five main areas: plant maintenance, equipment model validation, electrical single-line diagrams, transmission charge settlement, and the growing role of electric vehicles. Each challenge has been designed to extract the maximum creativity and effectiveness from startups, driving them to develop unprecedented and highly effective approaches.

The Central Role of ONS in Energy Innovation
InovAberta is a critical component of ONS Inova, a comprehensive program aimed at fostering an active innovation environment, supporting the ONS in adapting to the rapid changes in the national and global energy landscape. Under the leadership of Marcelo Prais, Director of IT, Agent Relations, and Regulatory Affairs, the ONS seeks to develop solutions that not only meet current needs but also anticipate the future challenges of a constantly evolving sector.
The ONS plays a vital role in coordinating and controlling the generation and transmission operations of electric energy in Brazil, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the National Interconnected System (SIN). With an energy matrix that is a global reference in sustainability, Brazil continues to lead in the use of renewable sources, and initiatives like InovAberta are essential to maintain this leadership, promoting innovation and sustainability throughout the sector.
InovAberta promises to be a milestone in the interaction between startups, large companies, and the ONS, offering an unprecedented platform for exploring new ideas and solutions that can solidify the sustainable future of the Brazilian electric sector.
