Innovation

The Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) area aims to identify and efficiently manage new ideas, connecting Eneva’s strategy with the regulatory pillars established by ANEEL and ANP. Its mission is to create new products, services, and processes through innovative projects, maximizing value generation by ensuring excellence across all activities.

Our innovation purpose is “To be a national benchmark in innovation within the energy sector.” This purpose drives our actions, and all strategic decisions related to innovation are made in alignment with it.

The Innovation area focuses on developing new solutions for the energy sector through a diversified portfolio that reflects the rapid evolution of the market and supports Eneva’s growth strategy.

To achieve this, we apply cutting-edge technology in our operations and continuously assess new business models and disruptive solutions.

Driven by the purpose of becoming a national reference in energy innovation, Eneva directs its resources toward fostering emerging businesses and optimizing processes while ensuring regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.

Our main objectives are to:

  • Ensure that projects meet the minimum regulatory requirements;
  • Align the R&D strategy with Eneva’s corporate strategy;
  • Strengthen and expand Eneva’s innovation culture;
  • Manage the RDI project pipeline effectively.

Eneva strives to set the standard for innovation in Brazil’s energy sector

ANEEL R&D Program

Eneva supports initiatives under the Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) Program of the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL). Electric power companies are required by regulation to invest 0.4% of their Net Operating Revenue (NOR) annually in RDI projects approved by the Agency. Currently, Eneva supports six projects, representing a total investment of BRL 56 million.

ANP R&D Program

Eneva also promotes Research & Development (R&D) projects under the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). The ANP R&D program encourages the creation of innovative solutions for products and processes in partnership with Brazilian companies, aiming to enhance competitiveness and foster technological innovation across the oil and gas industry.

Regulatory Requirements for Public Disclosure

As required by ANEEL, regulated companies must maintain a dedicated page within their corporate website to disclose their RDI Program results.

This page must include:

  • A corporate email for inquiries or additional information;
  • Details of each project or initiative within the RDI portfolio, including: A concise technical description; Objectives;Planned and actual investment; Participating entities; Execution timeline
