The Installed Capacity of the Quebra-Queixo Hydroelectric Plant Totals 120 Megawatts (MW) Currently and Is One of the Most Important for Ensuring National Energy Security.
Acquisition of the Quebra-Queixo Hydroelectric Plant Marks the Second Step Taken by the Mining Company in the Brazilian Energy Market in 2022
The Acquisition of the Quebra-Queixo Hydroelectric Plant, While a Major Step Taken by CSN Mining in the National Energy Market, Was Not the First Major Transaction in the Sector Made in 2022.
This Is Because the Company Had Already Closed a Deal to Purchase Companies Responsible for Operating Two Hydroelectric Plants, One in Santa Catarina and Another in Mato Grosso.
The Company Santa Ana Energética Was One of the Transactions Firmed in Recent Months with CSN Mining.
It Is the Main Responsible for the Administration and Operation of the Santa Ana Hydroelectric Plant, One of the Most Important in the State of Santa Catarina.

Currently, the Generated Energy Already Meets All the Company’s Needs, but the Company Intends to Expand Its Presence in the National Market and Invests in the Energy Sector.
