What we do

Three areas, one platform.

Consulting, Development and Energy Management. Interconnected disciplines that share team, data and rigour — so every project reaches the megawatt delivered to market.

About us

Who we are.

We take every project from resource to market, with technical rigour and economic discipline. Today we operate three interconnected areas — Energy Consulting, Project Development and Energy Management — being, in the latter, one of the four independent aggregators operating in Portugal's system services markets.

Our identity

About Gesto.

With more than 50,000 MW of renewables assessed and 50,000 km of planned electrification, we take every project from resource to market — with technical rigour and economic discipline. A brand platform that serves the three areas — Consulting, Development, Energy Management — and guides every technical and commercial decision.

Purpose

Accelerate the energy transition, from systems to consumers.

Vision

An energy system in which every clean megawatt finds its market.

Mission

Design, develop and operate renewable energy solutions — and the pathways that bring them to market.

Values

Five values for real decisions.

Not for show — to be tested in actual decisions.

1

Rigour

We work on data, models and evidence. We tell the technical truth, even when uncomfortable.

2

Independence

We advise, develop and operate. That's why we are rigorous about separating interests.

3

Pragmatism

We believe in projects that get built and contracts that get honoured.

4

Generation

We work to generate — energy, value, local capacity that stays.

5

Restlessness

The transition isn't done. We follow technology, regulation and the market with method.

Geography

Projects in more than 40 countries.

Track record in renewables and electrification across three continents.
