What CTG Brasil does

CTG Brasil (legal name: China Three Gorges Brasil Energia S.A.) is one of the largest private-sector renewable energy generators in Brazil, operating a 100% renewable portfolio spanning hydroelectric, wind, and solar assets. Founded in 2013 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG Corp) — the world's largest clean energy developer — the company manages 9.3 GW of installed capacity across 24 power plants and 70 generating units, including flagship assets UHE Ilha Solteira (3,444 MW) and UHE Jupi\u00e1 (1,551 MW). It is currently executing Brazil's largest hydropower modernization program, a R$ 3 billion investment through 2027 targeting UHE Jupi\u00e1 and UHE Ilha Solteira. Operational technology includes 300+ automated dam instrumentation sensors, ROV-based underwater inspections, a Hydroblast robotic cleaning system for turbine screens, the new FlexBESS battery storage pilot, and an ANEEL-approved R$ 60 million green hydrogen (H2V) pilot project. CTG Brasil is also the first company in Brazil to achieve ISO 55001 asset management certification.

The company sells electricity to three principal customer groups: distribution utilities (via regulated ANEEL auctions under the ACR framework), commercial and industrial free-market consumers (via bilateral contracts in the ACL), and energy traders, with the CTG Conecta digital platform supporting contract management, billing, and proposal workflows for ACL clients. Revenue is structured through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), capacity payments, and contracted MWh volumes, while spot exposure is cleared through CCEE. Free-market contracts operate on multi-year terms with bilaterally negotiated pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is exclusively domestic through Brazil's interconnected national grid (Sistema Interligado Nacional).

CTG Brasil's FY2025 results show consolidated net operating revenue of R$ 6.4 billion (+9.8% YoY), EBITDA of R$ 4.6 billion (71.7% margin), and net profit of R$ 2.7 billion (+17.8% YoY), with a AAA.br credit rating from Moody's Local Brasil. Recently added 1 GW of renewable capacity (Complexo Solar Arinos solar complex in Minas Gerais and Complexo E\u00f3lico Serra da Palmeira wind farm in Para\u00edba), strong ESG credentials (6 consecutive GHG Protocol Gold Seals; 100% Scope 1/2 neutralization via REDD+ credits), and an active innovation agenda position the company for its newly launched 2026-2030 strategic cycle under the China Three Gorges global clean energy franchise.
