Copel’s electricity sales to final customers grew by 5.5% in 1H12

     The following analysis refers to Copel’s power market performance consolidated between January and June 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.

Copel’s electricity sales to final customers, composed by sales from Copel Distribuição captive market and Copel Geração e Transmissão free market increased 5.5% between January and June of 2012. The captive market consumed 11,671 GWh, growing by 4.0%, while Copel’s GeT free market has grown 44.3%, reaching 648 GWh in the same period.

Captive Market – Copel Distribuição

     The industrial segment consumed 3,750 GWh, growing by 2.1% year to date. This result reflected (i) the higher industrial production in the State of Paraná, especially in the edition and printing, oil refining and production of ethanol, wood and food sectors, and (ii) the higher number of customers. At the end of June, this segment represented 32.1% of Copel’s captive market consumption, with the company supplying power to 83,186 captive industrial customers.

     The residential segment consumed 3,247 GWh, a growth of 4.6%, led by the higher credit and income growth. At the end of June 2012, this segment represented 27.8% of Copel’s captive market consumption, with the company supplying power to 3,135,696 residential customers.

     The commercial segment consumed 2,532 GWh, a growth of 4.3%, due to increasing sales from retailers in the concession area. At the end of the period, this segment represented 21.7% of Copel’s captive market consumption, with the company supplying power to 323,493 captive commercial customers.

     The rural segment consumed 1,049 GWh, growing by 8.7%, mainly due to the higher agricultural output in the State of Paraná. This segment represented 9.0% of Copel’s captive market consumption at the end of the period, with the company supplying power to 376,473 rural customers.

     Other segments (public agencies, public lighting, public services and own consumption) consumed 1,093 GWh, up 3.8% in the period. These segments represented 9.4% of Copel’s captive market consumption, totaling 52,585 customers at the end of the period.
