DisCo´s billed grid increased by 5.8% in 3Q26
Year-to-date growth is 5.0%
COPEL (“Company”) hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general:
Distribution - Grid Market
The billed grid market, which deducts part of the energy offset by Mini and Micro Distributed Generation (MMGD), grew by 5.8% in 3Q26.
This result is mainly due to the positive performance in the residential and commercial segments. The growth was influenced by higher temperatures that stimulated consumption during the period, and by the continuous expansion of economic and service activities in Paraná. Additionally, lower solar radiation in the region reduced the energy generation from micro and mini distributed generation (MMGD) systems, thereby increasing the demand billed by Copel's grid.
*Considers the effect of reclassifying industrial consumer units to residential and commercial.
The following chart shows the electricity consumed by class in 3Q26:
The following table shows Copel's total energy sales, broken down between Copel’s DisCo, GenCo, Wind Farms and TradeCo:
