Rio de Janeiro – Eneva, the largest private natural gas operator in Brazil, announced the acquisition of Trimble Wedge, an advanced industrial data analysis platform that is now part of the technological ecosystem of its operations. The initiative reinforces the
company’s commitment to operational excellence and the digitalization of its assets. Trimble Wedge is a Data Analytics solution designed for complex industrial environments. Its implementation will allow the processing of large volumes of operational data in real time, enabling faster diagnostics, identification of bottlenecks and continuous optimization of the performance of thermal plants and natural gas
processing units (UPGNs).

Data Intelligence at the Service of Efficiency
In an industry where availability and thermal efficiency are critical factors, the ability to transform data into strategic decisions becomes a relevant competitive advantage. In this context, the Wedge platform stands out for its intuitive interface and advanced algorithms, which allow engineers and operators to perform complex analyses with agility, without in-depth knowledge in programming.

For Eneva, which operates in the integrated Reservoir-to-Wire model (from the well to the generation and commercialization of energy), the accurate analysis of the behavior of the assets directly contributes to safer operations, greater reliability and reduced response time to process variations. The adoption of the technology represents an important advance in the company’s operational excellence journey, by allowing technical teams to identify opportunities for improvement in real time and convert complex data into strategic intelligence to
maximize the efficiency and reliability of the generation complex.

Towards a sustainable and digital future
The acquisition is in line with a consistent investment plan in Industry 4.0. Through predictive and analytical monitoring, Eneva seeks to reduce losses, optimize the use of resources, and increase the energy efficiency of its operations, also contributing to the
strengthening of its ESG agenda. With the incorporation of Trimble Wedge, the company reinforces its prominent position
in the application of technology in the Brazilian energy sector, consolidating data science as one of the pillars of its sustainable growth and its contribution to the country’s energy security.

About Eneva
Eneva is an integrated energy company that operates from the exploration and production of natural gas to the generation and commercialization of electricity. With assets strategically distributed in several regions of Brazil, the company is a reference
in the Reservoir-to-Wire model and recognized for its innovative performance in the national thermal sector.
