Eletrobrás, also a holding company of important assets in the energy industry.
based on the context of the full sentence.....important to note that the "ainda" refers listing two companies: Telemar and Eletrobrás
in Braz. Portuguese there's a tendency of saying Holding, when it's really meant a holding company......they just use the EN word and abbreviate it :)

correction: the comma should be after also:
Eletrobrás also, a holding company.....

: Acho importante manter "holding company", pois é um conceito à parte e está presente no original. A minha sugestão, se permite, é substituir a preposição "of" por "with": ... "holding company with important assets etc." para dar a ideia de "proprietária".
