Grupo Energisa (ENGI11) reported that consolidated electricity consumption, combining captive and free markets, reached 3,863 GWh in August 2026, up 10% compared with the same month of 2025. In the year to date for 2026, consumption totaled 29,483 GWh, a 5% increase versus the first eight months of the previous year.
According to the company, August’s performance was driven mainly by the residential and commercial classes, supported by organic market growth, rising income, a resilient labor market and more intense weather conditions, with a 22% increase in the Cooling Degree Days (CDD) indicator for the Group as a whole. All nine distributors reported higher consumption in the month, with highlights being EAC (+15%), EMS (+13%) and EMT (+13%).
In the year to date for 2026, consumption growth reflects the expansion of the residential, commercial and industrial classes, influenced by the addition of new loads, the expansion of the labor market and income, and higher CDD levels in the North and Center-West regions. Among the distributors, EMT (+8%), ERO (+5%) and ESE (+5%) stood out in terms of consumption growth in the period.
The report also shows that unbilled supply followed the same trend as billed consumption, with growth both in August and in the 2026 year to date. The number of billed days remained virtually stable versus 2025, with no significant impact on the performance of this supply.
In the natural gas segment, Energisa Distribuição de Gás (EDG) reported total distributed volume of 178,171 thousand m³ in August 2026, an 11% drop compared with 2025, driven by an 18% decline in the industrial segment.
