What Agência de Regulação dos Serviços Públicos Delegados do Estado de Mato Grosso does

AGER-MT (Agência de Regulação dos Serviços Públicos Delegados do Estado de Mato Grosso) is a Brazilian state government regulatory autarchy created by Lei Estadual nº 7.101/1999 and headquartered in the Palácio Paiaguás in Cuiabá, capital of Mato Grosso. It serves as the unified state-level regulator for all delegated public services in the state, supervising seven core verticals: electrical energy distribution (via ANEEL convention), tolled highways (14 concession contracts covering over 2,000 km), the state railway (Rumo S.A. authorization for 730 km from Rondonópolis to Lucas do Rio Verde until 2066), intermunicipal collective road transport (16 concession/permission contracts across lots MIT 1–8), piped natural gas (MTGÁS since 2004), ports and waterways, and basic sanitation (under the expanded mandate of Lei Estadual nº 11.976/2022, currently covering Várzea Grande, Lucas do Rio Verde, and Nova Mutum).

The agency's technology stack consists of internal digital platforms supporting regulatory transparency and oversight, including the Painel de Água e Esgoto and Painel de Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos/Aterros dashboards for sanitation monitoring, the Sistema SCSP for intermunicipal transportation regulation, and a digital portal providing public access to contracts, legislation, regulatory sessions, ombudsman submissions, and public hearing documentation. It maintains citizen service channels through a 0800 hotline, WhatsApp Business, physical offices in Cuiabá plus nine regional field-operation posts, and accessibility features including Libras interpretation.

AGER-MT operates as a non-commercial public entity; it does not charge citizens for regulatory services and is financed entirely through the state budget of the Government of Mato Grosso as a decentralized agency linked to the State Planning Secretariat (Seplag). It is governed by a Collegiate Executive Board (Diretoria Executiva Colegiada). Its revenue model is therefore not transactional but governmental appropriations-driven. The agency marked 25 years of operations in May 2025 and received the Selo Ouro from the State Comptroller General (CGE-MT) with an 87% excellence index. Headcount of 51-100 employees was supplemented by a 2023 public service examination (concurso público) registering 55 reserve-cadre positions across regulatory analyst, administrative, and inspector roles.
