Communication on water management

The topic of water is discussed in some forums within the scope of the Eletrobras companies. In the Environment Committee, a task force was created, linked to the Environmental Management Instruments working group, specifically to discuss and improve the management of the theme. The task force has representatives from the areas of environment, infrastructure and operation of the companies. Bringing together professionals from so many different areas is a challenge that has been successfully overcome in the task force. Of the works carried out, the creation of protocols with unified methodologies for measuring the volume of water used in administrative activities and in thermal generation and the exchange of experiences stand out.
In 2021, Eletrobras launched a campaign to publicize its Environmental Policy and one of the prioritized topics was water. The video was made available on the company's YouTube platform and social networks.
In the Generation Expansion Planning Committee, the water issue is discussed in the Water Resources Working Group, which has professionals from all Eletrobras companies. This group addresses issues related to water in its meetings, acting mainly in the study of hydroelectric potential and in the management of water resources. Regarding the management of water resources, the following are discussed within the group: studies of water availability, multiple uses and conflicts over water use, water security, participation in hydrographic basin committees and water resources plans, in addition to regulatory issues related to water. The group was responsible for preparing the Water Resources Policy common to all Eletrobras companies, which is available to the public on the company's website.
