What ABRAGET - Associação Brasileira de Geradoras Termelétricas does

ABRAGET - Associação Brasileira de Geradoras Termelétricas is a Brazilian non-profit trade association founded in 2001 and headquartered in Rio de Janeiro that exclusively represents companies operating thermoelectric power generation plants in Brazil. Its membership base spans the country's major thermal operators, including Petrobras, Eneva, Neoenergia, Norte Fluminense, Marlim Azul, GNA (Gás Natural Açu), Diamante Energia, and Centrais Elétricas de Sergipe (Celse). The association's stated purpose is to study, debate, and seek institutional solutions that enable the economic-financial balance of thermoelectric plants, addressing system operation, technical particularities of generation facilities, commercialization, and tariff definition.

The association's core offering is Consultoria e Assessoria Técnica e Jurídica (technical and legal advisory services) delivered to member companies, supplemented by sectoral studies on thermoelectric economics and reliability. ABRAGET provides institutional representation before Brazil's principal electricity sector bodies: ANEEL (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica), CCEE (Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica), ONS (Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico), MME (Ministério de Minas e Energia), and CNPE (Conselho Nacional de Política Energética). The association has positioned itself at the intersection of energy security and decarbonization, publicly promoting green hydrogen blending and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) technologies among its members as part of an industry decarbonization roadmap, and producing quantitative inputs to the policy debate on capacity auctions (LRCAP) and renewable curtailment.

ABRAGET operates on a membership-fee revenue model, funded by recurring subscriptions from member thermoelectric generation companies; fees are individually negotiated and not publicly disclosed. Membership enrollment is conducted through direct outreach, industry events, and the association's website (abraget.com.br). The organization is led by President Xisto Vieira Filho and governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives from major member companies. ABRAGET joined the Forum of Environment and Sustainability of the Electric Sector (FMASE) in August 2022, extending its institutional footprint across the broader Brazilian electricity sector.

Direct peers

• APINE: Associação Brasileira dos Produtores Independentes de Energia Elétrica is the Brazilian association for independent power producers, directly comparable to ABRAGET in that it represents electricity generators in regulatory and policy advocacy, with overlapping membership and parallel focus on auction design and economic equilibrium.
• ABIAPE: Associação Brasileira dos Investidores em Autoprodução de Energia represents self-producers of electricity in Brazil. Comparable because it advocates for a generation-side constituency before regulators and engages on commercialization, tariffs, and system operation — overlapping themes with ABRAGET.

Regional players

• UNICA: União da Indústria de Cana-de-Açúcar represents Brazilian sugarcane producers, many of whom operate biomass-fired thermal plants. Comparable because it represents industrial electricity/biomass generators and engages on energy policy, even though its primary mandate is the broader sugarcane industry.
• EEI: Edison Electric Institute is the US investor-owned electric utility trade association. Comparable as a large national electricity-sector association engaged in regulatory advocacy, but operates in the US rather than Brazil.
• EURELECTRIC: EURELECTRIC is the European electricity industry association. Comparable as a sectoral electricity trade association engaging regulators and policymakers on thermal, renewables, and grid reliability — though it operates in Europe rather than Brazil.

Broad incumbents

• ABRACE: Associação Brasileira de Grandes Consumidores Industriais de Energia e de Consumidores Livres represents large industrial free consumers of electricity. Comparable as a major Brazilian electricity-sector association engaged in ANEEL/CCEE policy advocacy, but represents demand-side rather than generation-side interests.
• ABSOLAR: Associação Brasileira de Energia Solar Fotovoltaica is the Brazilian solar PV association. Comparable as a sectoral electricity-generation trade body engaged in regulatory advocacy and policy work at the same federal agencies, but advocating for renewables rather than thermal.
• ABEEólica: Associação Brasileira de Energia Eólica is the wind generation trade association in Brazil. Comparable as a generation-focused trade association operating in the same regulatory ecosystem (ANEEL, ONS, CCEE, MME), although on the opposing generation technology side.
• ONS: Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico is Brazil's national grid operator. ABRAGET's stated advocacy includes ONS (e.g., Fortaleza dispatch), making ONS a natural policy counterpart and structurally comparable as an institution shaping thermal generation's role in system operation.
• CCEE: Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica operates the Brazilian electricity trading market. Not an association, but a key counterpart institution — ABRAGET regularly engages CCEE on commercialization rules and LRCAP auctions, making it functionally comparable as a market-shaping electricity-sector body.
