Energisa operations and policy issues in Brazil

Overview

In Mato Grosso, political figures and business leaders have raised concerns regarding the concessionaire Energisa, citing “excessive waiting times and missing technical justifications” in solar energy project approvals. State deputy Janaina Riva has pledged to advocate for stronger oversight and specialized assistance for solar developers to address these opaque procedures.

Following these criticisms, Energisa has introduced several social and financial programs in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. These include a debt renegotiation initiative in partnership with the Court of Justice (TJMS) targeting hundreds of consumers, and the ‘Nossa Energia’ project in Rondonópolis, which focuses on improving energy efficiency for low-income families through the distribution of appliances and LED lamps.

Specific details of these initiatives include a partnership with the TJMS to renegotiate debts for 237 selected individuals and businesses through hearings scheduled for September. The ‘Nossa Energia’ project in Rondonópolis aims to distribute up to 200 refrigerators, 300 fans, and 1,000 LED lamps to low-income families.
