It was with great satisfaction that, earlier this year, I took on the responsibility of leading ISA CTEEP. I joined a company with an important role in the power transmission sector, supported by innovative and ambitious concepts of sustainability, and aware of its purpose of generating inspiring connections, going far beyond the simple efficient transport of energy.
The challenges we face are enormous and motivating. Our sector is evolving: the capacity to install new sources of renewable energy is growing faster and in a decentralized manner. The bidding process to address the demand for new projects at auctions forces players to constantly pursue gains in productivity, and financing alternatives have made it possible to employ innovative and competitive solutions.
In line with our ambition and industry trends, we are committed to innovation, efficiency and perpetuity of the business through investments in processes, people and asset management, in order to ensure society that we will exceed the expected performance in terms of delivering new projects and the availability of our assets.

Committed to the development of the Brazilian energy infrastructure, we are among the main power transmission companies in the country, with operations in 17 states, which gives us a relevant position in the National Interconnected System (SIN). We have four regional units in the state of São Paulo, in the cities of Cabreúva, Taubaté, Bauru and São Paulo; a Transmission Operations Center, in Jundiaí (SP); a Back-up Operations Center (COR), in Cabreúva; in addition to the Regional Unit for Other States, located at the headquarters in São Paulo, with Maintenance Centers in all states where the company operates.
Supported by this structure, our networks account for 33% of the total transmitted by the SIN and 94% of the energy transmitted in the State of São Paulo, operating critical assets for the basic fabric of the state's economic development.
We seek to contribute directly to the expansion of the national transmission system and, in the last three years, we secured 10 lots in transmission auctions held by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). In 2019, 18 months ahead of the schedule established by the regulatory agency, we energized the first one: IE Itapura (Lot 25 – Bauru).
