Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – CEMIG is a state controlled mixed capital company engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of energy, gas distribution, and the provision of energy solutions. The company operates primarily in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and is one of the largest electricity generation groups in the country by installed capacity. Its activities span hydroelectric, solar and wind power generation, high voltage transmission networks, electricity distribution to millions of consumers, and natural gas supply through its subsidiary Gasmig.

CEMIG generates revenue mainly from the sale of electricity to regulated and free customers, from charges for the use of its distribution system (TUSD), from transmission services, and from the sale of natural gas. Additional revenue comes from energy solutions such as distributed generation projects, energy efficiency services, and cogeneration, as well as from energy trading activities conducted through its subsidiaries. The company also earns income from construction-related revenues and financial components associated with its concession contracts.

The company operates through the following segments: Generation, Transmission, Distribution, Gas distribution, and Energy solutions.

• Generation: This segment produces electricity from hydroelectric plants, solar farms and wind farms, with a total installed capacity exceeding 4,600 MW as of December 2025, and includes large hydro facilities such as Belo Monte, Teodomiro, Nova Ponte, Irapé and Três Marias.
• Transmission: This segment transports electricity via a network of high voltage lines and substations, managing approximately 3,147 miles of transmission lines owned by CEMIG GT and providing services to generators, distributors and free customers under regulated tariffs.
• Distribution: This segment delivers electricity to end‑users through a low and medium voltage network, serving about 9.6 million residential, commercial, industrial and other customers in Minas Gerais and transporting power to free customers across Brazil.
