Centro Brasileiro de Infraestrutura

Centro Brasileiro de Infraestrutura (CBIE) is a Brazilian consulting and information company specialized in regulatory intelligence and business management for the energy sector. According to its official website, the firm was created in 2000 in response to the rapid growth of the Brazilian energy sector, driven by the entry of private agents into a market that had long been characterized by the intense presence of state-owned companies. CBIE positions itself as a reference in specialized consulting on intelligence, regulation and strategic affairs for the energy sector, serving both public and private clients. The company describes its mission as continuously monitoring market developments, the economy, the political landscape, government decisions and other external factors that may affect the dynamics of companies in Brazil's infrastructure sector. It combines communication resources with a multidisciplinary team experienced in the academic, public and private sectors, aiming to anticipate trends, disseminate messages, persuade audiences and develop institutional strategies for national and international companies interested in operating in the Brazilian market. CBIE operates through two main lines: CBIE Consultoria, which provides monthly reports, newsletters, weekly monitoring of fuel price gaps in the Brazilian and international markets, political and economic analysis of energy-related topics, and customized studies; and CBIE Advisory, created in 2019, which combines technical knowledge with practical experience in project implementation and operational and financial optimization, with an integrated view of the oil and gas, electric and basic sanitation sectors. CBIE Advisory offers advisory services for decision-making, project implementation and participation in oil and gas and power transmission and generation auctions; consulting for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), asset purchase and sale and fairness opinions; optimized monetization strategies; and weekly structuring of fuel price gaps. The firm states that it has more than 20 years of expertise in the Brazilian energy and infrastructure market, has been recognized as one of the 100 most influential consultancies in Brazil in the energy sector, has received more than 1,000 mentions in national and international media, and has served more than 200 clients among public and private institutions. Its timeline indicates that it began in 1995 as a research center in the infrastructure area, became an economic and regulatory consultancy in 2000 serving national and international clients, was recognized in 2016 as one of the 100 most influential consultancies in Brazil in the energy sector, created CBIE Advisory in 2019, and by 2022 was described as a reference in the infrastructure sector in the country.

The Centro Brasileiro de Infraestrutura (CBIE) traces its origins to 1995, when it began as a research center in the infrastructure area, according to the timeline on its official website. In 2000, it became an economic and regulatory consultancy serving national and international clients. The firm was created in response to the rapid growth of the Brazilian energy sector, driven by the entry of private agents into a market that had historically been characterized by the intense presence of state-owned companies. CBIE perceived that traditional consulting models no longer met the needs of new private participants in a dynamic Brazilian market involving complex changes, particularly regulatory and legal ones. In 2016, CBIE was recognized as one of the 100 most influential consultancies in Brazil in the energy sector. In 2019, the company created CBIE Advisory, a consultancy that combines technical knowledge with practical and pragmatic experience in implementing projects in the energy and basic sanitation sectors. CBIE Advisory emerged from the evolution of sectoral discussions over recent years and the observation that the country lacked consulting institutions capable of combining the technical knowledge typical of think tanks with practical experience in project implementation and operational and financial optimization, with an integrated view of the oil and gas, electric and basic sanitation sectors. By 2022, CBIE described itself as a reference in the infrastructure sector in the country. Throughout its history, CBIE has provided services including monthly reports with facts, quotes, comments and analyses of key energy sector issues in Brazil and worldwide; newsletters on CBIE's actions in the energy market; weekly monitoring of fuel price gaps in the Brazilian and international markets; political and economic analysis and monitoring of energy-related topics in Brazil; and customized studies. The firm states that it has more than 20 years of expertise in the Brazilian energy and infrastructure market, has been recognized as one of the 100 most influential consultancies in Brazil in the energy sector, has received more than 1,000 mentions in national and international media, and has served more than 200 clients among public and private institutions.
