- Energisa Mato Grosso - Distribuidora de Energia S/A Energisa Mato Grosso - Distribuidora de Energia S/A (ENMT4.SA) operates as an electricity distribution utility serving residential, commercial, industrial, rural, public lighting, and public service consumers across 141 municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil; the company maintains an extensive network of transmission and distribution lines, substations, and five thermoelectric generation plants located in Colniza, Comodoro, Guariba, Paranorte, and Rondolandia; it also invests in efficiency programs, social initiatives, and distributed generation solutions such as (re)energisa solar projects and Voltz fintech services for energy-related financial inclusion. Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, the company, formerly known as Centrais Elétricas Matogrossenses, rebranded to its current name in February 2015 and functions as a subsidiary within the Energisa Group, which holds a controlling stake following the 2017 acquisition of an additional 30.9% interest for approximately BRL 570 million. Recent developments include the group's completion of the Infra Gás acquisition in 2024, expanding into natural gas distribution in Northeast Brazil and supporting broader portfolio diversification; Energisa Mato Grosso benefits from these synergies through enhanced renewable integration, such as BNDES-financed solar plants in Mato Grosso and the shutdown of Amazon thermoelectric plants ahead of schedule to cut CO2 emissions by over 500,000 tons; the company also advanced infrastructure modernization, trained its first class of female electricians via SENAI partnership, and reported strong financials with net debt to EBITDA at 2.8 times amid 8.1% lower capex of BRL 2.9 billion in H1 2024.
