Installation license approvals reinforce operational efficiency and execution
Rio de Janeiro, December 23, 2025 – Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A - AXIA Energia informs that, since its privatization, it has been consolidating a consistent trajectory of growth in investments in generation and transmission, with active participation in all transmission auctions. In this context, it is worth highlighting that Installation Licenses (LI) were issued for Lots 3 and 5 (Blocks 1 and 2), awarded in Auction 01/24, with ANEEL CAPEX of BRL 983 million and BRL 2.65 billion, respectively. The LIs for Lots 3 and 5 add to those issued throughout 2025 for Lots 9 (Auction 01/24) and 4 (2023 auction). The granting of these licenses represents a significant milestone for the Company in its post-privatization context, evidencing progress and efficiency gains in its core structuring processes, in addition to enabling the start of mobilization and execution of the works.
Competitiveness in transmission auctions: after more than eight years without new wins, AXIA Energia regained competitiveness, securing lots in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The last winning participation prior to this period occurred in Auction 007/2013, on November 14, 2013.
Accelerating the energy transition: investments in Lots 3 and 5 aim to expand the Basic Grid to ensure full energy evacuation from already contracted power plants, increase connection capacity for new generation projects, and meet demand growth. These investments demonstrate how the expansion and modernization of transmission are essential pillars to accelerate Brazil’s energy transition, enabling the integration of new renewable sources into the power system and reinforcing AXIA Energia’s leading role in the sector’s transformation.
Robust growth in investments: the start of construction of Lots 3 and 5 (Blocks 1 and 2), combined with ongoing investments in generation and transmission and the acceleration of reinforcement and improvement projects, will enable the Company to reach the highest level of investment in its history in 2026.
Efficiency and cost reduction: of the ten projects awarded in post-privatization auctions, one was delivered in July 2025, 14 months ahead of ANEEL’s deadline, marking a new phase for the Company with a focus on efficiency and cost reduction. Currently, nine lots are under implementation, totaling BRL 8 billion in investments. Expansion CAPEX in the transmission segment is expected to grow significantly in 2026.
Acceleration of investments in reinforcements and improvements: the transmission segment is an important growth driver for the Company. In addition to greenfield projects, investments in brownfield projects have increased significantly. Today, the Company has 225 large-scale reinforcement and improvement projects totaling BRL 6.2 billion in CAPEX, with an annual Allowed Revenue (RAP) of BRL 1 billion.
Completion of stalled projects: since its privatization, AXIA Energia has completed strategic works, including projects that had been stalled for years. Highlights include:
| · | Coxilha Negra Wind Farm, delivered in early 2025. With investments of BRL 2.4 billion and installed capacity of 302.4 MW, in addition to an exclusive transmission system for energy evacuation, comprising two new substations and 36 km of transmission lines. |
| · | Transnorte Energia (TNE), responsible for the Manaus–Boa Vista transmission line, which connected the state of Roraima to the National Interconnected System (SIN), previously the last state in the country to operate in isolation. With total investments of BRL 3.3 billion, the project was originally auctioned in 2011, resumed in 2022, and entered into operation in September 2025. The transmission line is 724 km long and has an annual RAP of BRL 561.7 million through September 2051. |
Successful completion of the HVDC project: in 2026, AXIA Energia is expected to complete another strategic project: the revitalization of the Itaipu High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) System, responsible for transmitting energy generated by the plant to consumer centers in Brazil. The investment amounts to approximately BRL 2 billion, of which BRL 1.3 billion has already been disbursed. The project results from a technical and financial cooperation agreement between AXIA Energia, responsible for execution, and Itaipu.
Competitiveness in participation in 2026 auctions: the Company remains focused on increasing its competitiveness in auctions by improving internal processes and strengthening relationships with suppliers, with the objective of reinforcing its leadership position in the power generation and transmission market. AXIA Energia reaffirms its commitment to maximizing shareholder returns through rigorous criteria and processes guided by capital discipline.
Job creation: by 2026, more than 12,000 professionals will be engaged in the development and implementation of generation and transmission projects. AXIA Energia will continue to invest in becoming even more competitive, combining growth with value creation for its shareholders.
