The PDI Program aims to enable the development of innovative technologies that bring positive business impacts and benefits to customers.
Neoenergia's PDI projects seek solutions to overcome the day-to-day technical challenges of the business, develop and train its own and third-party personnel, contribute to low tariffs, reduce the country's environmental impact and technological dependence, and stand out by adding value to the product and services provided. In this way, the PDI Program contributes to the development of science and technology in Brazil.

In addition to technological development, the PDI Program also promotes additional gains, such as technical-scientific production, with several articles published in journals and presented at events; the training and qualification of professionals, through various training provided to own and third-party collaborators; as well as the qualification of researchers with postgraduate, master's and doctorate degrees, with research work carried out in scope of projects.
