AXIAAXIA

Axia Energia invested BRL9.6 billion in 2025, targeting BRL12–14 billion annually in 2026–27 with a five-year horizon for dividends, buybacks and investments despite income from tax asset activation. Generation revenue dropped after thermal plant sales, driving auction bids and long-term contracts alongside data-center ventures to curb price volatility.

1. Investment and Growth Targets

Axia Energia invested BRL9.6 billion in 2025, marking a record investment level, and guided annual investments to reach between BRL12 billion and BRL14 billion in 2026 and 2027 to support expansion in generation and transmission assets.

2. Capital Allocation and Payout Policies

The CFO confirmed that tax asset activation income will not alter the company's five-year capital allocation framework, which balances dividend distributions, share buybacks and reinvestments to ensure predictable shareholder returns.

3. Plant Divestitures and Auction Strategy

Sale of thermal plants led to a decline in generation revenue, driving Axia to pursue value through active participation in upcoming capacity and transmission auctions leveraging its engineering expertise.

4. Market Dynamics, Data-Center Outlook and Governance Migration

To mitigate energy-price volatility, Axia is exploring long-term customer contracts and portfolio management strategies, engaging with major data-center operators in northeastern Brazil for infrastructure partnerships, and proceeding with a General Meeting on April 1 for Novo Mercado governance migration.
