Ultragaz is close to completing the acquisition of the retailer Tria Energia, a non-operational company of the trading company Tria Energia, controlled by the Pátria Investimentos group. The LPG distributor has already obtained the green light from CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) to proceed with the operation, according to a dispatch published in the DOU (Official Gazette of the Union) this Monday (23).
According to the statement, Ultragaz affirms that the transaction represents a strategic step towards entering the electricity market in a structured way.
Tria Varejista is a non-operational company focused on smaller consumers – a segment that has been gaining traction and is expected to accelerate from 2027 onwards, with the full opening of the market to units connected to low voltage.
For Tria Energia, the sale is treated as part of the controlling shareholder's capital allocation strategy, in line with the fund's investment cycle. The trading company was created in 2024 and received R$ 120 million in investment.
However, the completion of the deal still depends on regulatory approval from... ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) and CCEE (Electric Energy Trading Chamber).
