Electricity Giant Eletrobras Will Invest US$1 to 2 Billion per Year for Next 15 Years

By Richard Mann · August 2, 2020 · 2 min read

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Eletrobras’ Board of Directors approved the group’s strategic plan for the period from 2020 to 2035, when the total estimated investments in generation and transmission (G&T) should be between R$95.3 billion (equivalent to R$ 6.0 billion or US$1.1 billion per year) and R$201.9 billion (R$12.6 billion US$2.2 billion per year) expanding its power generation and transmission, according to a long-term strategic plan released on Saturday.

Privatizing Eletrobras, Latin America’s largest electricity company, is a priority for the government, Brazil’s energy minister said last week. But it requires congressional approval and faces an uphill political battle.

Eletrobras is the largest Brazilian electric utilities company. The company’s headquarters are located in Rio de Janeiro. It is also Latin America’s biggest power utility company, tenth largest in the world, and is also the fourth largest clean energy company in the world.

Eletrobras holds stakes in a number of Brazilian electric companies, so that it generates about 40 percent and transmits 69 percent of Brazil’s electric supply.

The company’s generating capacity is about 51,000 MW, mostly in hydroelectric plants. The Brazilian federal government owns a 52 percent stake in Eletrobras, the privately held shares are traded on the BM&F Bovespa stock exchange in São Paulo. Eletrobras securities are also traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market and on the Madrid Stock Exchange.
