Definition of the HPP Foz do Areia, Salto Caxias and Segredo Concession Bonus

COPEL (“Company”), a company that generates, transmits, distributes and trades energy, in continuity Material Facts 07/22, informs its shareholders and the market in general that the Interministerial Ordinance of the Ministries of Mines and Energy and of Finance – MME/MF No. 01, of March 30, 2023, and published in the Official Gazette on that date, established the value of the granting of electric energy generation concession for the set of Hydroelectric Plants (UHEs) Governor Bento Munhoz da Rocha Netto (“Foz do Areia”), Governor Ney Aminthas de Barros Braga (“Segredo”) and Governor José Richa (“Salto Caxias”), in the amount of R$3,719. 428,214.95 (three billion, seven hundred and nineteen million, four hundred and twenty-eight thousand, two hundred and fourteen reais and ninety-five cents).

The definition of the concession bonus is a step in the process of obtaining a new concession contract for the HPPs for a period of up to 30 years, under the terms of Law 9074/95 and Federal Decree no. 9271/2018 (as amended by Federal Decree No. 10135/2019, 10893/2021 and 11307/2022). At this stage, the Granting Authority defines the amount to be paid as a grant, which must occur within 20 days after signing the new concession contract. The value established in the Ordinance will still be analyzed by the Federal Court of Accounts (“TCU”).

In this context, the current Interministerial Ordinance revokes the provisions presented by Interministerial Ordinance MME/ME No. 2, of October 7, 2022, as well as the review of the physical guarantee of the HPPs has also been approved, subject to the validity of the new concession contract. The following table presents the revision in accordance with Ordinance of the Ministry of Mines and Energy No. 2.107/SPTE/MME/2023.
