It is controlled by the state of Santa Catarina, who owns just over 20% of Celesc's stocks, that are traded on BM&F Bovespa.[1]

In October 2006, the company passed by a reorganization process, in which it was transformed into a "holding" that kepts the name Centrais Elétricas de Santa Catarina. Two new companies had been created, one of them responsible for the distribution (Celesc Distribuição) and another responsible for the generation of electric power (Celesc Geração).[2]
