What Eneva does

Eneva S.A. is a Brazilian integrated energy company publicly traded on B3 under ticker ENEV3, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro with operations spanning 10+ Brazilian states across the North, Northeast, and Southeast regions. The company operates across the full natural gas-to-power value chain as the largest private natural gas operator in Brazil, holding approximately 45.8 bcm of 2P reserves across four sedimentary basins and reporting a 36% exploration success rate versus a 10% global average. FY2025 net revenue was R$18.4 billion with R$6.5 billion in EBITDA, a 67% year-over-year increase. The portfolio includes approximately 7.2 GW of installed thermal capacity plus the LRCAP 2026 contract wins pushing the total above 10 GW, anchored by the Complexo Parnaíba (1.9 GW), Hub Sergipe (1.6 GW combined-cycle gas plant with FSRU terminal), and the Azulão 950 MW complex under construction in Amazonas.

The company's core technology is the proprietary Reservoir-to-Wire (R2W) vertical integration model, which connects gas production wells directly to power generation facilities and grid interconnection, eliminating intermediate transportation stages and improving supply predictability. This model is implemented at Parnaíba and replicated at Azulão-Jaguatirica. Eneva also operates Small Scale LNG (SSLNG) through its GNL Brasil joint venture with Virtu GNL, liquefying gas at Parnaíba for truck delivery to industrial clients and heavy transport fleets in regions without pipeline access. The Hub Sergipe FSRU terminal, connected to the TAG national gas pipeline network since October 2024, processes up to 21 million m³/day and enables on-grid gas commercialization across Brazil. Complementary digital services include the VOLTTA platform for free energy market access and EV charging network management.

Eneva generates revenue through multiple streams: long-term power capacity contracts (15-year fixed contracts from ANEEL-managed LRCAP auctions, with R$161 billion in fixed contracted revenue from LRCAP 2026); on-grid gas commercialization via the Mesa de Gás trading desk; off-grid LNG sales to industrial and heavy transport clients; merchant thermal generation dispatched based on merit order; and LNG regasification services at Hub Sergipe. Primary customer segments include large industrial consumers (e.g., Grupo Cerbras in Ceará ceramics), electricity distribution companies procuring capacity through ANEEL auctions, gas distribution utilities, off-grid industrial and transport clients, and free energy market participants served through VOLTTA. The customer mix spans B2B enterprise sales, regulated government contracts, and digital self-serve channels.

Revenue model

1. Power Generation Capacity Contracts: Revenue from long-term capacity contracts secured through government-run auctions (LRCAP). These 15-year contracts provide fixed revenue for power generation capacity, with Eneva securing approximately 5 GW in the 2026 auction representing R$ 161 billion in fixed contracted revenue. New thermal projects require R$ 18.2 billion in capex investment.
2. On-Grid Gas Commercialization: Sale of natural gas to customers connected to the national gas pipeline network through the Hub Sergipe terminal. The Mesa de Gás (Gas Desk) commercializes firm and flexible gas supply, including opportunistic GNL trading. Contributed R$ 302.8 million EBITDA in 2025.
3. Off-Grid GNL Sales: Direct sale of LNG produced at Parnaíba liquefaction plants to end customers in regions not served by pipelines. The new off-grid commercialization model sells gas directly to industrial clients and heavy transport fleet operators. Contributed R$ 274.3 million EBITDA in 2025.
4. Thermopower Generation (Merchant): Revenue from dispatch of thermal plants based on merit order, where plants are activated when their costs are competitive relative to other sources in the system. Generation increased 20% in 2025 to 13,336 GWh, driven by improved hydrological conditions and higher spot prices.
5. LNG Terminal Services: Revenue from LNG import, storage, and regasification services at Hub Sergipe FSRU terminal, serving both own generation needs and third-party gas commercialization through the national pipeline network.
