[{"type":"text","content":"\n MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT\n \n Dear Shareholders,\n \n \n In the past few years, Eneva strived to enforce an aggressive CAPEX program to meet the obligations from the successful outcome of the 2021 and 2022 energy auctions and the contracts won to supply LNG out of the Parnaíba Complex. Although it's been challenging to concomitantly implement several capital projects and massive CAPEX disbursements, we managed to step up the Company's competencies, regulate costs, and boost operational efficiency, while sustaining a deleverage trend.\n \n \n In 2024, we progressed in fast steps and on various fronts, paving the way for our next growth cycle. We commissioned two large capital projects: Parnaíba VI and the gas liquefaction plant in Parnaíba, besides finishing the 120 km gas pipeline connecting Gavião Mateiro and Gavião Belo fields to the gas treatment plant in the Parnaíba Complex.
