We believe in innovation as a tool for economic and industrial development, with good sustainability practices aimed at reducing environmental impact as a priority.
In this sense, UTE Norte Fluminense has been developing projects with the greater purpose of accelerating innovation in the Brazilian electricity sector and improving its processes, generating new products, services and businesses.
Within the scope of the Research, Development and Innovation Program, regulated by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), we develop projects in partnership with research centers, startups and industries, already thinking about a future insertion in the market of the developed solution.
The Research, Development and Innovation Program at UTE Norte Fluminense meets the criteria of Law 9,991/2000, which establishes the obligation to apply a minimum percentage of its Net Operating Revenue (NOR) in technological innovation projects.
Aneel's R&D Procedures deal with the presentation of the program, legal and regulatory aspects, the project preparation format, project supervision and evaluation parameters and criteria.
With the aim of providing transparency and publicity to its completed and ongoing projects, UTE Norte Fluminense reports the balance of the R&D account and data on these projects. On March 31, 2023, the balance in the company's R&D account was R$6.1 million.

The R&D projects selected by UTE Norte Fluminense must meet at least one of three criteria: respect for the environment, efficiency in the industrial process and financial sustainability.
