Copel wins UHE Colider in the 10^th New Energy Auction (A-5)

     Companhia Paranaense de Energia – Copel, in accordance with CVM Instruction 358/2002, hereby informs the market that it won the concession to build and operate the Colider hydroelectric plant (UHE Colider), at the 10th new energy auction held on July 30, 2010. This plant will be built on the Teles Pires River, in Mato Grosso, and will have an installed capacity of 300 MW with 179.6 MW of assured energy.

Seventy percent of the assured energy was sold on the regulated contracting market (ACR) for R$ 103.40 per MWh, while the remaining 30% will be sold on the free market.

After undertaking thorough studies, the Company entered into a series of favorable pre-agreements with suppliers in order to reduce construction costs. Moreover, the fact that the Company obtained this concession represents a strategic differential for Copel in coming auctions, in which other hydroelectric plants on the Teles Pires and Tapajós Rivers will be auctioned off.

Finally, Copel will ask the CMN (National Monetary Council) to authorize this project to be eligible for BNDES financing, given that it falls within the scope of the PAC (Growth Acceleration Program).

Curitiba, July 30, 2010.

Sincerely,

Rafael Iatauro

CFO and Investor Relations Officer
