1. Main Events in the Period

Copel’s net income totaled R$402.1 million in 4Q15, 46.1% more than the R$275.2 million recorded in 4Q14, while EBITDA moved up 77.3%, to R$957.9 million. The main events in the period are presented below.

Reversal of the provision for legal claims - Ivaí Engenharia

In October 2015, the second panel of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) ordered the return of the lawsuit to the Paraná State Court of Justice (TJ-PR) so that it can review the sentence against Copel, which established that Copel Geração e Transmissão had to pay a compensation to Ivaí Engenharia, related to the execution of the works of the Derivação do Rio Jordão SHP (PR) in the 1990s. The STJ believes that there was a mistake in the definition of the amount of the Company’s sentence. As a result, there was a partial reversal of R$209.9 million in 4Q15, with the remaining balance of R$139.1 million being recorded as a probable loss.

Reversal of impairment

In 4Q15, the Company reviewed the recoverable value of its generation assets as a result of the recent regulatory (renegotiation of the hydrologic risk), market and macroeconomic changes, which resulted in the reversal of R$66.0 million in impairment recognized in 2014 (R$807.3 million).

Renegotiation of the Hydrologic Risk in the ACR

The Company decided to renegotiate the hydrologic risk of eligible energy sales agreements in the Regulated Market (ACR) of Copel GeT (324.1 average-MW) and Elejor (134.3 average-MW). Adherence to product SP100 was approved by Aneel via Orders 84/16 and 43/16, respectively. As a result, the Company recognized R$134.7 million in 4Q15 as recovery of the cost with energy purchases. In addition, the renegotiation allowed the extension of the period of grant of some plants, as below:

Itaipu’s Exchange Variation – Accounting Reclassification

In 4Q15, the Company reclassified the exchange variation on the purchase of Itaipu’s energy under revenue and/or financial expense, previously booked under operating costs, resulting in a net negative effect in the financial result in 2015 of R$71.0 million and a negative effect of R$17.1 million in 2014. This procedure has the purpose of presenting the information in a more appropriate manner and in line with the Electric Utility Accounting Manual.

Renewal of Copel Distribuição’s Concession – Accounting Reclassification

In December 2015, the Company signed the fifth amendment to the Public Electricity Distribution Concession Agreement no. 46/1999 of Copel Distribuição S.A., extending the concession term to July 7, 2045. As a result, R$4.1 billion was reclassified from Accounts Receivable Related to the Concession to Intangible Assets, given that it refers to the portion of the investment that will be recovered with tariffs during the concession term.

Dividends

At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting (ASM), scheduled for April 27, 2016, the Company will propose the distribution of R$326.8 million as dividends (R$128.8 million) and interest on capital (R$198.0 million).

Colíder HPP – Injunction against the plant

In November 2015, the Second Civil Court of the Colíder District accepted the request for anticipation of protection by the Public Ministry of Mato Grosso State established that the State Environment Department must abstain from renewing or granting operating licenses in favor of the Colíder HPP project, due to environmental issues. The Company has appealed against the sentence and awaits a court decision. As a result, the startup of unit 1, scheduled for the second semester of 2016, has been postponed to early 2017. For further details, please refer to item 8.1.

Baixo Iguaçu HPP – Exclusion of liability

In January 2016, Aneel recognized an exclusion of liability of 626 days, as of September 1, 2016, related to the delay in the startup of the Baixo Iguaçu HPP, pursuant to Technical Note 766/2015-SCG/ANEEL, and dismissed the application of penalties and any liabilities arising from said delay. The Agency ordered the CCEE to change the beginning of supply in commercial operation agreements and recommended that the Ministry of Mines and Energy extend the plant’s concession term for the same period recognized in the exclusion of liability. For further details, please refer to item 8.1.

Governador Parigot de Souza HPP (GPS) – Concession until 2046

In November 2015, Copel GeT acquired the right to operate and maintain the Gov. Pedro Viriato Parigot de Souza Hydroelectric Power Plant – GPS HPP (260.0 MW of installed capacity and assured energy of 109.0 average-MW), a project whose concession was part of Copel GeT’s generation facilities and which expired on July 7, 2015. The plant was acquired through the payment of a concession bonus totaling R$574.8 million and will generate annual service revenue of R$130.9 million. The concession agreement was signed on January 5, 2016 and has a 30-year term. For further details, please refer to item 8.1.

005/2015 Transmission Auction - APR of R$97.9 million

In November 2015, Copel GeT acquired the right to build and operate three substations and 230 kilometers of transmission lines in Paraná and Santa Catarina. The project, which was acquired without negative goodwill, has annual permitted revenue (APR) of R$97.9 million. The investment planned by Aneel is R$580.6 million and startup is scheduled for September 2019 and March 2021. For further details, please refer to item 8.2.

Strategic Plan

BM&FBovespa maintains Copel in the Corporate Sustainability Index - ISE in 2016

In 2016, Copel remained in the select group of the 35 most sustainable companies in the São Paulo Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange (BM&FBovespa). Copel has been present in ten of the eleven editions of the index, which lists the shares of the companies that have demonstrated their commitment to sustainability (economic efficiency, environmental balance, social justice and corporate governance). Representing 16 sectors, the new portfolio comprises 40 stocks totaling R$960.5 billion in market cap.

Copel Comercialização

On January 28, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the bylaws of Copel Participações S.A. in order to change the Company’s name and purpose. As a result, the Company is now called Copel Comercialização S.A. and its main purpose is to sell electricity and provide related services. The trading company was created to reinforce Copel’s market positioning and improve efficiency, allowing for more speed and flexibility in electricity sales.

BNDES approves new financing

The BNDES approved financial aid for the Brisa Potiguar Wind Farm Complex (183.6 MW), built by Copel in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, which has been operating commercially since October 2015. The aid will be provided through the private issue of debentures, which will be subscribed by the BNDES and BNDESPar and divided into two series, one of which linked to the TJLP long-term interest rate and the other to the IPCA consumer price index. The operation is in line with FINEM characteristics and has a 16-year term, with a six-month grace period and monthly amortizations.

2. Financial Performance

The analyses presented below refer to the fourth quarter (4Q15) and full year of 2015 compared with the same periods in 2014.

2.1 Operating Revenues

Operating revenues came to R$3,337.0 million in 4Q15, 25.2% down from 4Q14, chiefly due to the lower result of sectorial financial assets and liabilities, which was a loss of R$121.2 million in 4Q15, compared with a gain of R$1,033.9 million in 4Q14. It is worth noting that the loss in 4Q15 resulted from the R$401.8 million period amortization, chiefly due to the recovery via tariffs of the deferrals in 2013 and 2014, which had been recorded when the recognition of the result of sectorial financial assets or liabilities became mandatory. It is also worth noting the following variations:

(i) the 45.1% reduction in “electricity sales to distributors”, due to the decline in revenue from the spot market (CCEE) as a result of lower dispatch from the Araucária TPP and the decline in the Spot Price (PLD) in the period (R$166.85/MWh in 4Q15 compared with R$712.43/MWh in 4Q14);

(ii) the 22.3% increase in revenue from “electricity sales to final customers", due to the Extraordinary Tariff Revision – RTE, which increased Copel Distribuição’s tariffs by 36.8% as of March 2, 2015 and 15.3% as of June 24, 2015, partially offset by the upturn in consumer charges, which accounted for 26.9% of the increases, and the decline of 4.2% in Copel Distribuição's captive market and 5.3% in Copel GeT’s free market;

(iii) 14.0% growth in “use of the main distribution and transmission grid” (TUSD and TUST revenue), due to Copel Distribuição’s tariff increase as of June 2015 and the startup of new transmission assets, partially offset by the 5.3% decline in the grid market;

(iv) the 30.0% upturn in “telecommunications revenue”, thanks to new customers – the customer base increased from 27,614 in December 2014 to 47,987 in December 2015;

(v) R$23.5 million recorded under “other operating revenues”, arising mainly from revenue from rent and leases. In 4Q14, this line recorded a negative balance due to the reclassification of the amounts related to the refund of electricity generation unavailability, pursuant to Aneel Order 4,786/2014.

In 2015, Copel’s operating revenues totaled R$14,728.1 million, 5.8% higher than in 2014, chiefly due to Copel Distribuição’s tariff increases (Extraordinary Tariff Revision in March 2015 and Annual Tariff Revision in June 2015) and the expansion of the telecommunications and natural gas distribution markets as a result of customer base growth, partially offset by the 25.5% decline in the energy volume dispatched by the Araucária TPP (2,465 GWh in 2015 against 3,308 GWh in 2014) and the reduction of PLD.

2.2 Operating Costs and Expenses

In 4Q15, operating costs and expenses totaled R$2,493.8 million, 39.6% down from 4Q14, chiefly due to reversals of R$286.3 million in 4Q15, of which R$209.9 million refers to the revision of estimated losses in the Ivaí Engenharia lawsuit, against the recording of provisions totaling R$927.8 million in 4Q14, mostly related to the impairment of generation assets. It is also worth noting the following variations:

(i) 36.2% reduction in “electricity purchased for resale”, due to (a) the recognition of R$134.7 million as recovery of the cost of energy purchases, due to the renegotiation of the hydrologic risk (GSF), (b) the lower Spot Price (PLD) in the period (R$166.85/MWh in 4Q15 compared with R$712.43/MWh in 4Q14), and (c) lower costs with energy acquisitions in auctions (CCEAR), due to the higher quota agreement volume, partially offset by higher costs with the acquisition of electricity from Itaipu, as a result of the tariff increase. In 4Q15, the effect of exchange rate fluctuations arising from agreement Itaipu power purchase was reclassified to financial results from operating costs.

(ii) 70.2% reduction in “natural gas and supplies for the gas business", mainly as a result of a lower dispatch from the Araucária TPP, partially offset by the increase in gas prices;

(iii) R$296.3 million in “charges of the main distribution and transmission grid ”, basically due to the higher cost with System Service Charges (ESS) as a result of the increased thermal dispatch outside the merit order, and the increase in Itaipu’s energy transmission tariff. The reversal of this line in 4Q14 was due to the accounting reclassification of the Reserve Energy Account – CONER, pursuant to Aneel Order 4,786/14 and Aneel Resolution 613/14;

In 2015, operating costs and expenses totaled R$12,911.9 million, 4.5% more than in 2014, mainly reflecting (a) higher energy acquisition costs, due to the end of the transfer of CDE and ACR account funds, which totaled R$1,253.4 million in 2014, and (b) increased charges for the use of the distribution and transmission grid, due to the higher dispatch of thermal plants for energy security reasons, partially offset by lower provision thanks

to the partial reversal related to Ivaí Engenharia (R$209.9 million) and the partial reversal of impairment of generation assets (R$66.0 million).

2.3 Equity in the Earnings of Subsidiaries

Equity in the earnings of investees reflects gains and losses from investments in Copel’s investees. In 4Q15, the result was negative by R$58.4 million mainly due to the loss recorded in the SPCs Matrinchã and Guaraciaba, which was due to low on financial assets (reclassification of debt charges), partially offset by gains at Sanepar, Dominó Holdings, and Foz do Chopim Energética. In 2015, equity in the results of investees totaled R$92.5 million, 42.1% less than the R$160.0 million recorded in 2014.

2.4 EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization amounted to R$957.9 million in 4Q15, 77.3% higher than in the same period the year before (R$540.2 million), chiefly due to the partial reversal of provisions for legal claims (R$259.3 million), adherence to the renegotiation of the hydrologic risk/GSF (R$134.7 million), impairment tests (reversal of R$66.0 million, against a recognition of R$807.3 million in 4Q14) and the reclassification of exchange variation on purchase energy from Itaipu to financial expenses (before recorded as operating costs), partially offset by the result of the Araucária TPP (a R$58.5 million loss in 4Q15 versus a R$218.6 million gain in 4Q14) due to the lower dispatch in the period.

In 2015, EBITDA totaled R$2,585.2 million, 9.7% up on the R$2,357.0 million recorded in 2014.

 

 

Excluding non-recurring effects, adjusted EBITDA came to R$547.3 million in 4Q15, 17.2% higher than in 4Q14, while in 2015 adjusted EBITDA totaled R$2,174.6 million 21.0% down from 2014. The table below shows the items used in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

2.5 Financial Result

In 4Q15, financial income totaled R$238.6 million, 17.6% higher than in the same period of 2014, due to (a) the higher monetary restatement of accounts receivable related to the concession and the CRC transfer, reflecting the period increase in inflation (IGP-M and IGP-DI, respectively) in the period, (b) the 135.4% upturn in late payment charges on electricity bills, following Copel Distribuição’s tariff increases, and (c) the recognition of R$31.6 million in income from sectorial assets and liabilities.

Financial expenses totaled R$503.8 million in 4Q15, 140.8% up on 4Q14, chiefly due to the increase in debt charges arising from the higher balance of financing and debentures, the increase in interest rates, and the exchange variation on the Itaipu energy purchase.

As a result, the 4Q15 financial result was a negative R$116.2 million versus a positive R$10.8 million in 4Q14.

3. Main Account and Changes Balance Sheet

The main accounts and changes in the Balance Sheet in relation to December 2014 are described below. Please refer to the Explanatory Notes to our Standardized Financial Statements for further information.

3.1 Main Accounts

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Bonds and Securities

On December 31, 2015, the cash and cash equivalents, bonds and securities of Copel’s wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled companies totaled R$1,978.1 million, 48.6% higher than the R$1,331.5 million recorded in 2014, reflecting the inflow of new loans and financing and the recovery of deferred tariff Copel Distribution from June 2015. These funds were invested, mostly in Bank Deposit Certificates (CDBs) and repo transactions. The investments earned an average yield of the period variation in the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) rate.

Customers

In 2015, “customers” increased by 39.2% compared with 2014, totaling R$3,107.9 million, chiefly due to Copel Distribuição’s tariff increases in 2015, partially offset by the recognition of the provision for doubtful accounts of R$339.7 million, R$119.7 million of which related to differences between the Colíder HPP’s energy selling prices traded in the CCEARs and the PLD in the period.  

CRC Transferred to the State of Paraná

Through the fourth addendum signed on January 21, 2005, the Company renegotiated the CRC balance on December 31, 2004 with the State of Paraná at R$1,197.4 million, in 244 monthly installments recalculated by the price amortization system, restated by the IGP-DI inflation index plus annual interest of 6.65%. The first installment was due on January 30, 2005, with subsequent and consecutive maturities until April 2025. The current CRC balance is R$1,383.2 million.

The State of Paraná has been paying the renegotiated installments pursuant to the fourth addendum, whose amortizations are guaranteed by dividends.

Sectorial Financial Assets

As of December 31, 2014, Copel Distribuição has recognized sectorial financial assets and/or liabilities in its financial statements as a result of an amendment to the concession agreement that guarantees that the residual amounts of items of Portion A and other financial components not recovered or returned via tariffs will be included in, or discounted from, the calculation of the indemnification for non-amortized assets at the expiration of the concession. On December 31, 2015, net sectorial financial assets totaled R$1,045.7 million, chiefly due to higher costs with the purchase of energy from Itaipu, the difference between the CDE quota paid monthly and the one envisaged in the electricity tariff, and tariff deferrals. For further details, please refer to our Standardized Financial Statements - DFP (note 9).

Accounts Receivable Related to the Concession

On December 31, 2015, balance totaled came to R$1,367,6 million, 69.1% less than the same period of 2014, reflecting the transfer of R$4,056.4 million for intangible assets related to the renewal of the concession of Copel Distribution. These refer to accounts receivable related to the contracts for the concession of electric power transmission and distribution activities. The amounts refer to investments in infrastructure and financial remuneration which were not recovered through tariff and/or APR up to the end of duration of the concession.

Accounts Receivable related to the Concession Indemnification

On December 31, 2015, the amount recorded in this line was R$219.5 million, comprising (a) R$160.2 million related to the accounting value of transmission assets on May 31, 2000 (RBSE), and (b) R$59.3 million arising from the residual amount of generation assets whose concessions expired in 2015 (Rio dos Patos HPP, GPS HPP and Mourão I HPP).

Investments, Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

"Investments" moved up by 34.0% until December 31, 2015, due to contributions recorded and equity in the earnings. “Property, plant and equipment” increased by 4.7%, due to new assets, in accordance with the Company's investment program, net of period depreciation. “Intangible assets” were impacted by the reclassification of R$4,056.4 million from “accounts receivable related to the concession” as a result of the extension of Copel Distribuição’s concession agreement to July 7, 2045.

The lawsuits classified as possible losses, as estimated by the Company and its controlled companies at the end of 4Q15, totaled R$3,971.6 million, 45.0% higher on December 2014 (R$2,738.8 million), distributed in lawsuits of the following natures: tax - R$1,476.8 million; civil - R$1,170.0 million; labor - R$605.1 million; regulatory - R$646.4 million, and employee benefits - R$73.3 million.

The main increase refers to the suit for a writ of mandamus filed by Abradee seeking to annul the lawsuit filed by Energia Sustentável do Brasil S.A. – ESBR, which exempts it from being liable for the losses arising from falling behind HPP Jirau’s schedule and exposes the distributors to the Short-term Market. The injunction issued in the writ of mandamus has released Copel DIS from disbursing R$607.5 million related to the settlement of August 2015, and (b) the revision of the estimated losses in the Ivaí Engenharia lawsuit, considering as a probable loss the plaintiff’s credit rights restated by the official TJ-PR index (average of IGP-DI/INPC) plus late payment interest of 1% per month and as a possible loss the debt amount restated by the Selic rate plus other interest indices in the period before the expert report.

4. Performance of the Main Companies

4.1 Copel Geração e Transmissão

In 4Q15, Copel GeT’s operating revenue came to R$726.3 million, higher 11.0% than the R$654.2 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, due (a) 36.7% growth in revenue from the use of the main distribution and transmission grid, as a result of the operational start-up of the new transmission assets and the adjustment of the APR in July 2015, (b) a 142.8% increase in construction revenue, resulting from investments in construction services and in transmission infrastructure improvements, and (c) 5.4% growth in supply revenue, resulting from the adjustment of agreements, partially offset by the 2.3% decrease in power supply revenue, as a result of the lower PLD in the period.

Operating costs and expenses totaled R$35.4 million, 97.6% down from 4Q14, when we recorded provisions related to the impairment of generation assets (R$807.3 million). However, operating costs and expenses in 4Q15 were also positively influenced by (a) the recognition of R$134.7 million as a cost recovery with energy acquisitions, (b) the reversal of R$209.9 million in provisions for disputes concerning Ivaí Engenharia, and (c) the reversal of R$66.0 million from impairment in the previous year.

Equity in the earnings of investees was negative by R$80.7 million, when compared to the positive R$110.5 million registered in the same period of 2014, mainly driven by the negative result of the Araucária TPP (loss of R$35.5 million in 4Q15) and by the reclassification of debt charges in the transmission SPEs.

In 4Q15, Copel GeT registered net income of R$323.0 million and EBITDA of R$680.9 million.

Copel GeT – EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring events

Excluding non-recurring effects, Copel GeT’s adjusted EBITDA came to R$309.6 million in 4Q15, 55.8% higher than in 4Q14, as a result of the lower expenses with energy acquisitions resulting from the PLD decrease (R$166.85/MWh in 4Q15 from R$712.43/MWh in 4Q14) and from the smaller Generation Scaling Factor in the period (GSF of 94.7% in 4Q15 and 87.8% in 4Q14). In 2015, adjusted EBITDA was R$1,383.4 million, 17.3% lower than in 2014, as a result of the higher Generation Scaling Factor (GSF of 85.3% in 2015, against 90.6% in 2014). The following chart shows the adjusted EBITDA for the period.

4.2 Copel Distribuição

In 4Q15, Copel Distribuição’s net operating revenue totaled R$2,363.5 million, 21.7% lower than the R$3,019.6 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the lower result of the sectorial financial assets and liabilities, which was a loss of R$121.2 million in 4Q15 compared with a gain of R$1,033.9 million in 4Q14. It is worth noting that the loss in 4Q15 resulted from the period amortization of R$401.8 million, chiefly due to the recovery via tariffs of the deferrals in 2013 and 2014, which had been registered when the recognition of the result of sectorial financial assets or liabilities became mandatory. The revenue decrease was also impacted by the period downturn in the energy market (down 4.2% and 5.3% in the captive market and grid market, respectively).

Operating costs and expenses increased by 8.8% to R$2,275.2 million in the period and mainly reflected (a) the higher cost with charges from the use of the distribution and transmission grid as a result of the start-up of the new operating assets in the system, and the main higher charges with system services (ESS), due to the higher dispatch of thermal plants out of merit order, (b) R$58.4 million in provisions and reversals, of which R$38.2 million refers to the allowance for doubtful accounts and R$15.4 million to labor disputes, (c) growth of 13.7% in construction costs (R$270.2 million in 4Q15), reflecting the investments made in the period, (d) the 15.2% increase in pension and healthcare plan costs, reflecting the higher expenses with the assistance plan, while the costs with personnel and management showed a 9.6% increase in line with period inflation. It is noteworthy that the increase on costs was offset (a) by the lower cost with energy acquisition in the CCEARs, due to the higher volume of quotas contracted, and (b) by the 86.8% reduction in other operating costs and expenses, reflecting cost recoveries related to the “Morar Bem Program”.

The financial result was R$51.7 million, impacted greatly by the restatement of the financial asset, the interest on overdue invoices, and the remuneration of regulatory assets and liabilities, partially offset by the recognition of R$96.2 million in financial expense related to the exchange variation on the Itaipu power purchase, before recorded as an operating cost. Thus, Copel DIS recorded net income of R$107.9 million and EBITDA of R$149.0 million in 4Q15.

4.3 Copel Telecomunicações

Copel Telecomunicações’ operating revenue came to R$68.1 million in 4Q15, 10.8% more than the R$61.5 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the expansion of the area of operation and service to new customers. Operating costs and expenses increased by 33.6% to R$64.1 million in 4Q15, influenced by the 85.8% growth in expenses with third party services, which are necessary for the expansion of the operation area, and the 17.2% growth in costs with personnel, including expenses with pension and healthcare plans, due to the Company's restructuring in the second half of 2014 and the wage increase implemented in October 2015. Net income for the period was R$11.2 million, a decrease of 28.0% when compared to 4Q14, while EBITDA fell 40.2% to R$12.4 million, versus the R$20.7 million of the same period last year.

Net income reached R$54.6 million, a decrease of 6.7% over the R$58.6 million reported in 2014, while Ebitda fell 4.0% in the period, totaling R$99.9 million.

4.4 UEG Araucária

In 4Q15, UEG Araucária posted net revenue of R$27.4 million, a 95.6% reduction when compared to 4Q14, caused by the lower volume of power generated in the period (45 GWh in 4Q15 vs. 983 GWh in 4Q14). Operating costs and expenses fell 78.1% mainly due to the lower cost with raw material and inputs for production of power as a consequence of lower dispatch. Thus, Araucária UEG recorded a loss of R$35.5 million, versus net income of R$154.7 million in 4Q14. EBITDA was negative by R$58.5 million, versus a positive R$218.6 million in 2014.

The accumulated results over the 2015, Araucária TPP recorded operating revenue of R$1,434.2 million, 32.8% less than the R$2,134.8 million reported in 2014. Operating costs and expenses totaled R$1,120.5 million, a 26.0% decrease when compared to the same period of 2014.

These plants remained under Copel GeT's responsibility for the provision of electric power generation service and, from then on, Copel GeT began receiving Annual Generation Revenue (AGR) totaling R$34.2 million, of which (i) R$31.5 million corresponded to the Governador Parigot de Souza HPP, (ii) R$2.1 million to the Mourão I SHP, and (iii) R$631,9 thousand to the Rio dos Patos SHP (whose concession agreement expired on February 14, 2014). The respective AGRs are valid for the period from July 8, 2015 to June 30, 2016, or until these plants are transferred to the auction winners in these concessions were auctioned, whichever occurs first. The energy generated by the project is divided into quotas and, consequently, is not included into Copel GeT’s assured energy.

In November 2015, Copel GeT won the right to operate and maintain the Governador Parigot de Souza HPP, upon payment of the grant bonuses in the amount of R$574.8 million. The concession agreement was signed on January 5, 2016, has a 30-year term and provides annual revenue of R$130.9 million for services rendered.

Law 13,097/15, published in January 2015, changed the power generation limit for HPPs and SHPs. With the change, the limit for HPPs went from 1 MW to 3 MW. As a result, the Chopim I plant, which used to be classified as a SHP, is now a HGC, and no longer needs a concession, just registration with Aneel.

Colíder Hydroelectric Power Plant

In Aneel New Energy Auction 03/2010, held on July 30, 2010, Copel GeT won the concession for the implementation and operation of the Colíder HPP for 35 years. On January 17, 2011, the federal government and Copel GeT entered into 01/2011-MME-UHE Colíder Concession Agreement involving the use of public assets for electricity generation.

The plant will have an installed capacity of 300 MW and assured energy of 179.6 average-MW and is being implemented on the Teles Pires River, in Mato Grosso State. Investments are estimated at R$2.0 billion. On the base date of August 1, 2010, 125 average-MW were traded at R$103.40/MWh, restated by the IPCA consumer price index. The sold energy will be supplied for 30 years as of January 2015 and the remaining energy will be available for sale.

Around 90% of the works are complete, and the launching of the lining of the well of generation unit three, inside the powerhouse, and the removal of vegetation in the reservoir area, in accordance with the Basic Environmental Project, were concluded. At the construction site, we are still assembling electromechanical equipment, with tests on the water intake dams and the generator rotor in Unit 1. In February 2016, we began building the transmission line, with a 63-km extension, which will connect the plant to the Cláudia substation.

As a result of force majeure and government acts during the implementation of the Colíder Hydroelectric Power Plant, Copel Geração e Transmissão is requesting with Aneel a waiver of responsibility, totaling 644 days, related to the delay in the plant’s startup, initially scheduled for December 30, 2014. Copel GeT has been honoring Colíder HPP’s CCEAR commitments, totaling 125 average-MW, using energy from other plants in its portfolio. In order to so, the Company has refrained from selling energy in the spot market, at the PLD, in order to sell at the CCEAR prices.

On October 9, 2015, the 5th Panel of the Regional Federal Appellate Court of the 1st Region granted the request for interlocutory appellate relief made by Copel GeT. The Court determined that Aneel refrains from imposing to the Company, until the Administrative Case No. 48500.000623/2015 is examined, any record keeping, deposit, encumbrance, payment, settlement or guarantee, fine, debit or nonpayment, reduction in duration of contracts, reversal of recording of contracts, dismissals, penalties and/or restrictions on rights as a result of falling behind the original schedule of Concession Agreement for Power Generation No. 01/2011-MME-UHE Colíder, also suspending any burden related thereto.

In November 2015, the Second Civil Court of the Colíder District accepted the request for anticipation of protection by the Public Ministry of Mato Grosso State and established that the State Environment Department must abstain from renewing or granting operating licenses in favor of the Colíder HPP project, due to environmental issues. The Company has appealed against the sentence and awaits a court decision. As a result, the startup of unit 1, scheduled for the second semester of 2016, has been postponed to early 2017. <0}

Baixo Iguaçu Hydroelectric Power Plant

Copel GeT has a 30% interest in the Baixo Iguaçu Consortium, which is responsible for Baixo Iguaçu HPP construction and operation. The power plant will have an installed capacity of 350 MW and assured energy of 172.8 average-MW and it is being built on the Iguaçu River, between the municipalities of Capanema and Capitão Leônidas Marques, in southwest Paraná. Part of the energy that will be produced (121 average-MW) was sold in the 7th New Energy Auction, held on September 30, 2008, at R$98.98/MWh.

The commercial start-up is scheduled for 2018, due to the recognition by Aneel of an exclusion of liability of 626 days, as of September 1, 2016.

8.3 Distribution

Concession agreement

In December 2015, the Company signed the fifth amendment to the Public Electricity Distribution Concession Agreement no. 46/1999 of Copel Distribuição S.A., extending the concession term to July 7, 2045.

The concession agreement imposes economic and financial efficiency and quality conditions. Failure to comply with the conditions for two consecutive years or any of the limits at the end of the first five years will result in the termination of the concession. From the sixth year following execution of the agreement, any breach of quality criteria for three consecutive years or economic and financial management criteria for two consecutive years will result in the opening of a forfeiture process. In addition, noncompliance with the overall goals of collective continuity indicators for two consecutive years or three times in five years may limit the payment of dividends or interest on equity, while failure to meet the economic and financial sustainability indicators will reflect the need for a capital contribution from the controlling shareholders. The following chart shows the goals set for Copel Distribuição in the first 5 years of renovation:

Compact-Design Distribution Lines

Copel Distribuição has continued to implement compact-design distribution lines in urban areas with a high concentration of trees surrounding the distribution grids. This technology reduces the number of trees cut down or trimmed, and improves the quality of power supply by reducing the number of unplanned outages. The total length of compact-design distribution lines in operation in 2015 was 7,929 km.

Secondary Isolated Lines

Copel Distribuição has also invested in low-voltage (127/220V) secondary isolated lines, which offer substantial advantages over regular overhead lines, including: improvement in DEC and FEC distribution performance indicators, defense against illegal connections, improved environmental conditions, reduced areas subject to tree trimming, improved safety, reduced voltage drops throughout the grid, and increased transformer useful life, due to the reduction of short-circuits, among other advantages. The total length of installed secondary isolated lines closed 2015 at 14,817 km.

Interest in Feasibility Study

Hydroelectric Potential Surveyed Along the Piquiri River

The feasibility studies for the four hydroelectric power plants making up the hydroelectric potential of the Piquiri River, in Paraná, were submitted by Copel GeT and accepted by Aneel in 2012. The following table features these plants, which have a joint installed capacity 459.3 MW:

  Project  Estimated Installed Capacity (MW) 
HPP Apertados    139.0 
HPP Comissário    140.0 
HPP Foz do Piquiri    93.2 
HPP Ercilândia    87.1 
Total    459.3 

The public hearings for the Apertados and Ercilândia hydroelectric power plants were held in November 2014, thus fulfilling one of the legal requirements for the respective environmental licenses to be issued. The environmental license applications are currently being reviewed by the Environmental Institute of Paraná State. The preliminary environmental license is a condition for the technical qualification of the projects in the new energy auctions promoted by Aneel.

Tapajós Hydroelectric Complex

Copel entered into a Technical Cooperation Agreement with eight other companies to conduct studies on the Tapajós and Jamanxim Rivers in Brazil’s North Region, including the environmental assessment of the Tapajós River Basin and the feasibility of the Tapajós River Complex, comprising five plants with a joint installed capacity of over 12 thousand MW. The plants currently under study are: Jatobá, with 2,338 MW, and São Luiz do Tapajós, the biggest, with 8,040 MW, both on the Tapajós River. On the Jamanxim River, the Company will be studying the Cachoeira do Caí, Cachoeira dos Patos and Jamanxim Hydroelectric Power Plants. The Technical and Economic Feasibility Study of the São Luiz do Tapajós Hydroelectric Power Plant (EVTE) was submitted to Aneel for examination in April 2014. The document contains a study of the technical and economic conditions that comprise one of the feasibility aspects of building the plant and will be an integral part of the documentation included in the invitation to bid for the plant’s concession. The Environmental Impact Assessments and Environmental Impact Reports (EIA/RIMA) were concluded and delivered to IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources) in May 2014. The Company is awaiting for the public hearings to be scheduled. At the moment, the situation of indigenous peoples is under study. Technicians from FUNAI (National Indian Foundation) are studying the possible impacts on indigenous communities.

Oil and Gas Exploration and Production

On November 28, 2013, in the 12th round of Bids of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), the consortium formed by Copel (30%), Bayar Participações (30%), Tucumann Engenharia (10%) and Petra Energia (30%) (the latter acting as operator) won the right to explore, develop and produce oil and natural gas in four blocks in an 11,327-km² area in the midwestern region of the State of Paraná. The consortium’s total investment will come to R$78.1 million in the first phase of exploration, for the term of four years granted by the ANP. Copel and its partners Bayar, Tucumann and Petra signed concession contracts for 2 blocks in May 2014. The activities of the first phase of exploitation by the consortium are suspended in the other blocks due to a public-interest civil action, as a result the respective concession contracts have yet to be signed.
