Stars
Utility Scale Solar Projects
CEMIG is rapidly scaling utility-scale solar in Minas Gerais, targeting >1 GW of solar capacity by end-2025 (company target announced 2023) to exploit average irradiance ~5.5 kWh/m2/day and state tax breaks (ICMS benefits), marking a high-growth Stars segment as Brazil diversifies from hydro to wind/solar (solar share rose to ~3.5% of generation in 2024).
Cemig SIM Distributed Generation
Cemig SIM Distributed Generation leads Brazil’s residential/commercial solar segment within Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais, capturing an estimated 28% market share in Minas Gerais and contributing roughly BRL 420m revenue in 2024, placing it as a Star in the BCG matrix.
Demand is growing ~22% CAGR (2021–24) for distributed solar, so Cemig SIM needs sustained marketing spend and ~BRL 150m capex through 2025 for grid integration and customer service to keep its edge.
Modernized Transmission Infrastructure
Recent auction wins for high-voltage lines boost CEMIG’s Modernized Transmission Infrastructure segment, with R$2.1 billion in awarded contracts in 2024 to integrate 6.3 GW of intermittent renewables into the national grid.
Federal mandates for resilience and expansion of the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) drive 12% CAGR demand through 2028, making this a fast-growing Star for market share.
Projects tie up large cash — R$1.4 billion capex in 2024 — but secure long-term dominance via regulated returns and 30‑year concessions.
Smart Grid and Digitalization Programs
Smart Grid and Digitalization Programs are a Star: Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais) has deployed ~5.2 million smart meters by 2024 covering ~68% of customer base, driving 12–18% reductions in non-technical losses and cutting SAIDI outage minutes by ~9% year-over-year.
Ongoing capex ~BRL 1.1–1.3 billion annually through 2026 is needed to meet ANEEL rules and rising demand for app-based energy services; staying ahead sustains high market growth and margin upside.
- 5.2M smart meters (2024)
- ~68% customer coverage
- 12–18% drop in non-technical losses
- SAIDI down ~9% YoY
- Annual capex BRL 1.1–1.3B (through 2026)
Wind Power Diversification
CEMIG is expanding wind farms in Brazil’s Northeast to diversify generation; as of 2025 the company added ~240 MW of wind capacity, raising renewables share to ~58% of its 6.8 GW portfolio.
The regional market is growing fast: corporate PPAs reached ~7.2 TWh in Brazil in 2024, driving demand for large-scale wind; these projects are cash-intensive but vital to keep CEMIG’s clean-energy market share near 18% nationally.
- ~240 MW added in 2025
- Renewables ~58% of 6.8 GW
- Corporate PPAs ~7.2 TWh (2024)
- Cash-intensive capex, supports 18% market share
Cemig targets >1GW solar by 2025; renewables ~58%, smart meters 68% coverage
CEMIG’s Stars: utility solar >1 GW target by end‑2025; Cemig SIM ~28% MG share, BRL 420m revenue (2024); smart meters 5.2M (68% coverage) cutting non‑technical losses 12–18%; wind +240 MW (2025), renewables ~58% of 6.8 GW; capex needs ~BRL 1.4B (2024) + BRL 150m DG through 2025 to retain growth.

Cash Cows
Large Hydroelectric Generation Assets
Large, fully depreciated hydroelectric plants at Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig) generate roughly 60–70% of the company’s operating cash flow, producing ~BRL 5.4 billion in FCF in 2024 and covering stable demand in Minas Gerais’s low-growth market.
These assets need minimal capex (maintenance ~BRL 450m/year in 2024), so steady EBITDA margins (~52% in 2024) fund new high-growth renewables — Cemig invested BRL 1.1 billion in wind/solar in 2024 — and support consistent dividends (yield ~6% in 2024).
Cemig D Distribution Services
Cemig D Distribuição, the largest electricity distributor in Minas Gerais, holds a near-monopoly across a regulated concession serving ~7.6 million clients (2024), securing steady, tariff-regulated cash flows; operating margin was ~19% in FY2024. The mature market tracks Minas Gerais GDP growth (~2.3% 2024), so demand is predictable and promo costs low. Its free cash flow funded R$2.8 billion debt service in 2024 and bankrolls strategic, higher-risk investments.
Gasmig Natural Gas Distribution
Gasmig Natural Gas Distribution, Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais subsidiary, holds ~65% market share in Minas Gerais industrial pipeline supply, serving 1,200+ industrial clients as of 2025 and delivering EBITDA margins near 38% in FY2024.
Energy Commercialization and Trading
CEMIG’s Energy Commercialization and Trading is a cash cow: in 2024 it reported R$1.8 billion in trading revenue, using a 15 GW-generation portfolio to capture spread income with minimal incremental capex versus plant builds.
The unit runs high-efficiency operations, low working-capital intensity, and in 2024 achieved a 9.6% EBITDA margin from commercial activities by monetizing market volatility and long-term contracts.
- 2024 trading revenue R$1.8B
- 15 GW generation backing
- 9.6% commercial EBITDA margin (2024)
- Low incremental capex vs. physical assets
- Leader in Brazilian energy commercial market
Legacy Transmission Backbone
The Legacy Transmission Backbone in Minas Gerais delivers regulated, steady returns—transmission tariffs averaged R$45/MW·day in 2024—yielding low operational risk and predictable cash flow under ANEEL oversight.
With assets largely commissioned, CAPEX falls to routine maintenance (2024 O&M ~R$120m), so the unit produces surplus cash that funds company strategy without heavy resource drain.
- High-voltage network => stable regulated revenue
- 2024 tariff benchmark: R$45/MW·day
- 2024 O&M: ~R$120m (maintenance-focused)
- Generates positive free cash flow for strategic uses
Cemig’s cash cows deliver BRL5.4B FCF, 6% yield — strong hydro, gas, distribution returns
Cemig’s cash cows—large hydro plants, Cemig D Distribuição, Gasmig, trading, and legacy transmission—generated ~BRL 5.4B FCF in 2024, funded BRL 2.8B debt service, supported BRL 1.1B renewables capex, and paid ~6% dividend yield; key metrics: hydro EBITDA ~52%, distribution margin ~19%, gas EBITDA ~38%, trading revenue BRL 1.8B (9.6% margin), transmission tariff R$45/MW·day.
| Unit | 2024/25 |

| Hydro EBITDA | ~52% |
| Distribution clients | 7.6M |
| Trading revenue | BRL 1.8B |
