| 1 Eletrobras Code of Conduct Exhibit 11.1

| 2 3 WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT The dissemination and experience of ethical culture are daily commitments in the relationships established in the management of the Eletrobras business. Therefore, this update of our Code of Conduct reflects a moment of intense changes in the company – which has just become a private corporation – points to the future and reaffirms the ethical and conduct commitments of the company and our employees with all our stakeholders. In this transition period, we envision the necessary adaptation of our processes as an opportunity for improvement, seeking inspiration from the best market practices and the constant evolution of the ethical theme and integrity in the corporate environment, internalizing it in our performance, through the commitments of ethical conduct, integrity and transparency assumed with our audiences. Produced by a multidisciplinary team and with a more direct and objective language, making clear the expected and prohibited conducts for each theme, this new version of the Code brings important guidelines, with the objective of making it an effective guiding instrument for the daily lives of our employees and all those who relate to Eletrobras. This version we are presenting broadens the view of ethics and integrity within the ESG (environmental, social and governance) vision, segregating the conduct commitments of the companies and our employees by pillars that represent the sustainability principles adopted in the Eletrobras Sustainability framework - people, planet, governance and prosperity. In this way, the company and our employees sign their commitment to sustainable growth hand in hand with ethical values, inseparable partners for the relevance and continuity of any business.

| 4 5 The new Eletrobras Code of Conduct reflects, therefore, a new moment, of greater challenges, but also of great potential. We believe, however, that we can only achieve this potential by respecting and assuming the daily commitment to the ethics and integrity of each one of us. This is our guide in this regard.

| 6 7 1. PRESENTATION Eletrobras is committed to the dissemination of an ethical and integral culture in the management of corporate businesses. The Eletrobras Code of Conduct is the guiding document of its performance, based on ethical principles and commitments of conduct, as a compass that guides the company's path in search of sustainable economic development and respectful relations with stakeholders. Gathered here are guidelines on how the company acts and how it expects its employees and third parties to act, in order to ensure an ethical attitude with integrity and relationships based on transparency and trust. 1.1. For whom it is intended Eletrobras, all of its subsidiaries – Eletrobras Furnas, Chesf, CGT Eletrosul, Eletronorte, Eletropar – and companies in which it has direct and indirect corporate control adopt the guidelines of this code. Hereinafter, the set of companies will be referred to in the document as “Eletrobras” or “company”. The guidelines of this document are intended for all employees: members of the Board of Directors and Fiscal Councils and statutory committees, officers, employees, contractors, service providers, representatives, interns and apprentices of the companies. It is an individual and collective commitment of all to comply with the code, and also to promote its compliance, in all actions of the Eletrobras value chain and in relations with stakeholders. These guidelines are also intended for all audiences that have some form of relationship or represent Eletrobras. Thus, the supplier companies, service providers, and other Eletrobras partners will have in their contracts, partnerships, covenants, terms or agreements,

| 8 9 including shareholders' agreements, specific clauses, according to the business carried out, in which they undertake to respect, comply with and enforce, as appropriate, this Code of Conduct, the Integrity Program and Eletrobras policies. 1.2. How to apply the guidelines It is important to point out that the employees' conduct commitments, expressed in this document, apply to all environments: face-to-face, remote work, or any other work modality that may arise. All topics that involve the company's professional performance are addressed here. However, some fact may occur that is not foreseen and that requires common sense in decision making. In this sense, it is advisable that, in the face of a decision, the following questions are asked: • Is the conduct considered legal or in accordance with this code and Eletrobras policies? • Are the risks and the decision to be made the best for the company? • Does the conduct set a good example for co-workers? • If there was press coverage, would the situation be comfortable? If the answer to all questions is positive, this indicates that the attitude is in compliance and that the employee is contributing to strengthening the company's integrity environment. If the answer is negative in at least one of these questions, be sure to ask for guidance, either from the manager or from the area responsible for the Integrity Program in the company. 1.3. Responsibilities The Board of Directors, through the Audit and Risk Committee (CAE, in Portuguese), is responsible for supervising this code, approving each new version of the document, reinforcing its commitment and sponsorship to the guiding pillars of Eletrobras' ethical performance and the importance of these dimensions in business practices. Eletrobras' Governance, Risks and Compliance Board (DC, in Portuguese), through the corporate integrity body, is responsible for the preparation and review of the document, acting in partnership with the other areas of the company and also for the implementation and application of the guidelines. Responsible for the correct dissemination of the document's content, the DC is also committed to conducting annual training on the code's guidelines. 1.4. Review and update As society is in constant change, requiring constant adaptation, and ethical conduct and integrity are eminently related to human relations, it is essential to align the code with the natural evolution of the organization, the context in which it operates, and society itself. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically update the document, at most every five years, unless it is necessary to update legislation or a supervening fact. This version was approved by means of Eletrobras Board Resolution No . 538 of 11/14/2022 and the Resolution of Eletrobras Board of Directors No . 169 of 12/01/2022.
