What Statkraft Energias does

Statkraft Brasil is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norwegian state-owned Statkraft AS, operating as an integrated renewable energy company across hydropower, wind, and solar generation in Brazil. The company controls approximately 2.3 GW of installed and under-construction capacity, including 16 hydroelectric plants and multiple wind and solar complexes spanning the Southeast, South, and Northeast regions, with its national headquarters in Florianópolis and commercial offices in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The company's hybrid energy complexes (such as Brotas de Macaúbas and Santa Eugênia) integrate wind, solar, and battery energy storage systems at shared grid connection points, leveraging flexible hydropower reservoirs to balance intermittent renewable production.

Statkraft Brasil serves two primary segments: downstream commercial and industrial energy buyers through customized power purchase agreements (PPAs) ranging from short-term to multi-year tenors, and upstream renewable generators through its energy trading and origination desk that executes structured deals and project financing facilitation. The company also sells International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-REC) to multinational corporations seeking GHG Protocol Scope 2 compliance, having sold more than 2 million I-RECs between 2021 and 2024 and being the first generator in Brazil and India to offer traceable renewable energy with guaranteed origin. Named enterprise customers include Tigre, whose 70% energy demand is supplied via a Statkraft PPA.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) power generation and bilateral PPA sales to C&I clients in Brazil's free energy market, (2) energy trading and origination revenue across physical and financial markets (parent group executes 3 million energy contracts per year globally with durations from one hour to 20 years), and (3) transaction-fee revenue from I-REC certificate sales, with 10% of net I-REC revenue reinvested into socioenvironmental projects aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals. GTM is sales-led and enterprise-focused, anchored by direct B2B relationships customized per client's energy profile, with pricing not publicly disclosed and contracts negotiated bilaterally.

Revenue model

1. Energy generation and trading: Statkraft generates and sells electricity from renewable sources (hydropower, wind, solar) and trades energy in physical and financial markets across Europe and Brazil. The company executes 3 million contracts per year globally, with contract durations ranging from 1 hour to 20 years. Brazil commercialization includes short and long-term contracts, as well as facilitating renewable energy and project financing.
2. I-REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) sales: Sale of International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) which certify that 1 MWh of electricity was generated from renewable sources and consumed on the grid. Between 2021 and 2024, more than 2 million certificates were sold. Statkraft reinvests 10% of the net revenue from REC sales into socioenvironmental projects aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Direct peers

• ENGIE Brasil: One of the largest private energy companies in Brazil, operating across renewable generation (hydro, wind, solar), energy trading, and transmission. Directly comparable to Statkraft Brasil in scope and customer base, with overlapping PPA commercialization, B2B sales motion, and hybrid renewable development in the same Brazilian free energy market.
• Enel Green Power Brasil: Subsidiary of Enel Group operating wind, solar, and hydro generation in Brazil with energy commercialization to commercial and industrial clients. Closely comparable to Statkraft Brasil in asset mix (multi-technology renewables), PPA sales approach, and reliance on global parent capital.
• EDP Energias do Brasil: Operates hydro, wind, and solar generation in Brazil and provides energy commercialization services in the free market. Direct peer given multi-technology renewable portfolio and C&I-focused commercialization, with prior transaction overlap (Statkraft acquired 7 hydro plants from EDP in 2018).
• AES Brasil (Auren Energia): Renewable energy generator and trader in Brazil with wind, hydro, and solar assets serving the free energy market. Comparable to Statkraft Brasil in renewable generation scale, B2B PPA commercialization, and asset diversification across hydro/wind/solar.
• Omega Energia: Brazilian renewable energy generator and trader focused on wind and hydro, with significant activity in the free energy market and PPA commercialization to commercial/industrial clients. Comparable as a focused renewable peer with similar GTM motion and customer overlap.

Broad incumbents

• CPFL Energia: Major Brazilian utility group (now under State Grid) operating generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization across multiple technologies. Comparable as a strategic partner (CPFL holds 65% of the CERAN hydro complex alongside Statkraft) and as a broad incumbent in the same commercialization and free-market segments.
• Neoenergia (Iberdrola): Brazilian subsidiary of Iberdrola operating across generation (wind, hydro, solar), transmission, and distribution, with active renewable energy commercialization. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the Brazilian renewable generation and B2B commercialization market.
• Eletrobras: Largest power company in Latin America with dominant hydro generation plus growing wind and solar assets in Brazil. Comparable as a broad incumbent in renewable generation, though with materially larger scale and a different ownership/governance profile than Statkraft Brasil.

Others

• Petrobras: Brazilian state-owned oil and gas major actively diversifying into renewables, including a strategic partnership with Statkraft and WEG (2023) to build the largest onshore wind turbine in Brazil. Adjacent/ecosystem peer given the active partnership rather than direct product competition.
• WEG: Brazilian electrical equipment manufacturer and renewable energy strategic partner (2023 partnership with Statkraft and Petrobras for largest onshore wind turbine). Adjacent/ecosystem peer as a technology supplier and co-development partner rather than direct competitor.
