BEB 2026 | Summary Report | Base year 2025 Page | 5 Logotipo, nome da empresa Descrição gerada automaticamente Public value In compliance with its founding law, the Energy Research Office (EPE) prepares and publishes annually the Brazilian Energy Balance (BEB), continuing a tradition started by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The BEB aims to present the accounting of energy supply and consumption in Brazil, covering activities of extraction of primary energy resources, their conversion into secondary forms, import and export, distribution, and final use of energy. BEB is the result of extensive research, constituting a broad and systematized database, updated in annual cycles. Of utmost importance for studies related to national energy planning, BEB has also proven to be an important research tool for sectoral studies, as it presents reliable statistics, often revealing trends in energy supply and consumption. The document is considered a reference for the country's energy data. The Summary Report of the Brazilian Energy Balance 2026 – base year 2025 presents consolidated information on how much and how energy was used in Brazil in 2025. The BEB product portfolio Energy statistics monitoring tools The National Energy Balance product portfolio originates from energy statistics and seeks to diversify the ways of consolidating, providing, and visualizing this data according to the different audiences interested in learning about the statistics. Recently this portfolio has gained new products, such as the Interactive Energy Balance, BEB 50 Years, and the BEB Dynamic Report. The Summary Report of the Brazilian Energy Balance is a traditional EPE publication now in a new format, more modern, didactic, and explanatory for Brazilian and international society.

BEB 2026 | Summary Report | Base year 2025 Page | 7 Logotipo, nome da empresa Descrição gerada automaticamente Highlights Total Energy Supply In 2025, domestic energy supply (total energy made available² in the country) reached 328.5 Mtoe, recording an increase of 1.9% compared to the previous year. The supply of renewable sources in the energy matrix featured a reduction in the share of hydropower, an increase in other renewables (such as black liquor and biodiesel), and growth in wind and photovoltaic solar generation. Non-renewable sources grew 3.0%, with natural gas being the most relevant, expanding by 9.5%. These movements contributed to keeping the Brazilian energy matrix at a high level of renewability, much higher than that observed in the rest of the world and in OECD¹ countries. Electricity Supply In the case of electricity, the supply grew by 20.4 TWh (+2.7%) compared to 2024. The main highlights were as follows: ▪The share of renewables in the electricity matrix was 86.8% in 2025. ▪Photovoltaic solar generation reached 88.1 TWh (centralized generation and Micro and Mini Distributed Generation - MMGD), growing 24.7%, and its installed capacity reached 64,793 MW, an expansion of 33.7% compared to the previous year. ▪Hydroelectric generation decreased by 20.4 TWh, representing a 4.8% drop compared to 2024. ▪Wind generation reached 116.5 TWh (8.2% growth) and its installed capacity reached 34,707 MW, an expansion of 17.5%. ▪12.3% increase in thermoelectric generation, totaling 169.9 TWh in 2025. ▪In 2025, 38.9% of thermal generation came from biomass. ¹ Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ² Energy made available in the country includes the net balance of imports.
BEB 2026 | Summary Report | Base year 2025 Page | 8 Logotipo, nome da empresa Descrição gerada automaticamente Highlights Final Consumption Final consumption (energy and non-energy) grew 1.0% compared to the previous year. Industry The industrial sector showed an increase of 0.9 million toe. Among the sources that contributed to the increase, the highlights were electricity (+3.2%), natural gas (+7.4%), and black liquor (+6.3%). In 2025, the main reductions were in the use of sugarcane bagasse (-1.7%) and fuel oil (-41.2%), compared to 2024. The main energy-intensive segments that showed growth were Non-ferrous and other metallurgy (+3.2%), Pulp and paper (+3.6%), and Cement (+2.0%). Industry renewability was 65.1%. Transport Energy consumption in transport in 2025 showed an increase of 3.5% compared to 2024. The main highlights were the 4.3% increase in ethanol and 8.2% in biodiesel. The biodiesel movement was due to the increase in diesel oil consumption and the increase in its blend content with mineral diesel to 15% (B15) starting in August 2025. In the light vehicle market, gasoline C (automotive) showed growth of 6.8% compared to 2024. In 2025, the transport sector showed 26.1% renewability. This year, the National Energy Balance presents electricity consumption in the road sector for the years from 2020 to the base year 2025.

In terms of emissions per capita, each Brazilian, producing and consuming energy in 2025, emitted on average2.1tCO 2 eq. According to the latest data released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) for 2023, each Brazilian emitted the equivalent of 15% of what a U.S. citizen emitted, 40% of what a European Union citizen emitted, and 26% of what a Chinese citizen emitted. For each tonne of oil equivalent (toe) made available, Brazil emitted in 2023 the equivalent of 74% of the emissions of the European countries of the European Union, 66% of the emissions of the United States (USA), and 49% of the emissions of China. The Brazilian electricity sector emitted, on average, only67.4kg CO 2 eq to produce 1 MWh, a very low index compared with OECD European countries, the United States (USA), and China. ¹ Based on purchasing power parity The digital version of this document can be accessed by clicking HERE.

Highlight: Diversification of feedstocks for ethanol production Corn, used as raw material for ethanol production, was responsible for about 25% (by volume) of total production of this biofuel in 2025. Soybean and other biomass contributed less than 0.01% of hydrous ethanol production. Growth of corn ethanol has been favored by the increase in grain production, with second-crop planting becoming predominant for biofuel production. This practice uses the same area in rotation with other crops, notably soybean. Corn ethanol production reached 9.4 billion liters in 2025. This industry, concentrated in the Center-West region, generates important co-products such as distiller's dried grains¹ and corn oil, and is able to operate throughout the year, since corn can be stored.
