Acciona's infrastructure projects in Brazil cover the areas of sanitation, transportation, and port infrastructure.

In addition to Acciona's application, Aneel also received a 26 MW license application for the UTE NSG thermal power plant in the municipality of Canoinhas, Santa Catarina state, which is under the responsibility of Blueshift.

Aneel further authorized the commercial operation of 64.8 MW of renewable energy generation facilities. In Mato Grosso do Sul state, the UFV Fótons de São Paulino 02 photovoltaic power plant was approved for 50 MW of trial operation. Casa dos Ventos was authorized to test the UG 03 unit (4.5 MW capacity) of the Ventos de São Rafael 11 wind farm in the municipalities of Coronel Ezequiel and Picuí, Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba states, part of the Serra do Tigre wind complex. In São Paulo state, the UFV Usinil Indústria Metalúrgica photovoltaic power plant was approved for commercial operation of the UG 01 unit (283 kW). In the municipality of Colorado, Paraná state, the PCH Córrego Fundo small hydropower plant was approved for commercial operation of units UG1 and UG2, with a total installed capacity of 10 MW.

Eneva received authorization from Aneel to merge the licenses of the Azulão II and Azulão IV thermal power plants (UTE), with the merged plant operating under the name Azulão II, and the license for the former UTE Azulão IV being revoked. Both plants were awarded in the 2022 Capacity Reserve Energy Auction (LRCE), originally designed with a capacity of 295.4 MW each, totaling 590.8 MW. After the merger, UTE Azulão II will consist of two generating units with capacities of 360.7 MW and 241.7 MW, respectively, reaching a total capacity of 602.5 MW. Despite the license change, Eneva must maintain the contracted energy volume, fixed revenue, and operating parameters agreed upon in the LRCE 2022 auction, and the contracts resulting from that auction will be executed uniformly.
