What Witzler does

Witzler is a Brazilian energy solutions company that operates as the energy business unit of Ultragaz, an 80+ year LPG distributor with established presence across industrial, commercial, agribusiness, and retail customers. The company specializes in Brazil's Mercado Livre de Energia (Free Energy Market), enabling medium- and high-voltage enterprise customers to migrate off regulated distribution tariffs and procure renewable energy directly from generators and traders, with claimed savings of up to 30-40% on electricity bills.

The core product portfolio centers on the Mercado Livre de Energia offering and the 'Economia Exponencial' managed-energy package, supported by a proprietary digital platform with a customer portal and mobile application that delivers real-time consumption monitoring, invoice management, operational alerts, and CCEE-integrated regulatory reporting. Adjacent offerings include Biometano (renewable biomethane), Gases especiais (special gases), and Gestão de Energia consulting. Witzler additionally provides official representation before CCEE, legal-regulatory advisory, and issues I-REC and Selo 100% Energia Renovável certifications that enable clients to substantiate renewable consumption in sustainability reporting.

The business model is managed services: Witzler negotiates energy supply contracts on behalf of clients and earns revenue on the price differential between negotiated supply costs and client billing rates, supplemented by fees for CCEE representation, compliance management, and advisory. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and there is no upfront client investment; the migration process is free, regulated by ANEEL, and preceded by a free feasibility analysis of the client's energy bill. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, consultative and advisor-led, covering 1,000+ cities across 25 Brazilian state municipalities and targeting industries, retail chains, agribusiness, and adjacent enterprise segments such as healthcare and packaging.
