Norte Energia leads the Free Market, with 6% of national energy, 3,1 million I-RECs and operations in the electricity matrix and Amazon biome.
Norte Energia has established itself as a leading player in the Brazilian Free Energy Market. With a significant contribution to the national electricity matrix, the company not only maintains a strong presence in the sector, but also advances in its sustainability practices. Norte Energia is responsible for generating a considerable portion of renewable energy, demonstrating its commitment to preserving the Amazon biome and sustainability. in its operation.
As a major player in the Brazilian market, Norte Energia seeks to offer solutions that not only meet energy demands, but also promote the responsible use of natural resources. The company has issued millions of I-RECs, illustrating its key role in ensuring access to clean and renewable energy. With its environmental commitment and continuous innovation, the company remains at the forefront of the sector.
In the current business model, Norte Energia, the concessionaire responsible for the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant, is involved in the commercialization of a significant portion of the energy generated by the largest 100% national hydroelectric plant. This energy is mainly directed to agents of the Free Energy Market, contributing considerably to the security and balance of the national energy system. With a physical guarantee of 4.751 MW, approximately 20% of this production is specifically allocated for this purpose. This strategy not only strengthens Norte Energia's position in the market, but also guarantees a crucial role in national electrical matrix.
