- AXIA Energia is a leading Brazilian electric power company engaged in the generation, transmission, and commercialization of electricity. The company operates a diversified portfolio of power plants including hydroelectric, wind, nuclear, and thermal facilities, with a strong focus on renewable and low greenhouse gas emission sources. AXIA Energia generates approximately 30% of Brazil's installed power capacity, with around 96% of its portfolio derived from clean energy sources such as solar, nuclear, wind, and hydroelectric power. Its generation assets include significant stakes in special purpose entities and shared ventures, including half of Itaipu Binacional's capacity. The company also manages an extensive transmission network across Brazil, earning revenue primarily through concession contracts. AXIA Energia markets electricity in both the Regulated Contracting Environment and the Free Contracting Environment across the country. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, the company has evolved to contribute substantially to Brazil’s clean energy matrix.
In recent developments, AXIA Energia changed its name from Eletrobras in October 2025 as part of a broader strategic repositioning that does not affect existing contractual or regulatory commitments. The company completed a significant portfolio restructuring by divesting its thermal power assets and its stake in Eletronuclear, transitioning to a 100% renewable energy generation portfolio aligned with its Net Zero 2030 commitment. AXIA Energia acquired full control of the Três Irmãos hydropower plant in São Paulo through a 50.1% stake purchase, consolidating its renewable energy assets and enhancing cash flow control. The acquisition resolves long-running disputes and includes regulatory approvals. Further reinforcing its transmission operations, AXIA Energia secured four lots in a recent transmission auction with BRL 1.6 billion in investments, expected to increase transmission revenues by BRL 2.4 billion. The company has also partnered with Google Cloud to develop AI-based weather forecasting systems and invested in water conservation initiatives such as projects on the São Francisco River, emphasizing its commitment to environmental sustainability and innovation.
AXIA Energia operates primarily in Brazil and focuses on serving a broad customer base from regulated markets to free contracting environments. It targets electricity generation from renewable sources while expanding its transmission footprint. The company maintains a strong strategic focus on enhancing operational efficiency, portfolio optimization, and ESG initiatives to drive long-term value creation for shareholders and contribute to the decarbonization of Brazil’s energy sector. Its recent operational changes, strategic acquisitions, asset divestments, and technological partnerships position it as a leading clean energy provider in Latin America.
