Copel Distribuição's grid market, made up of the captive market, supply to concessionaires and licensees within the State of Paraná and all the free customers existing in its concession area, grew by 1.7% in energy consumption in second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of the previous year and 3.8% year-to-date. Considering the offset energy from Micro and Mini Distributed Generation of energy (MMGD), which went from 152 GWh in 2Q21 to 255 GWh in 2Q22, an increase of 67.1%, the growth of the billed grid market registered a variation of 0.5% between the periods and 2.3% in the accumulated for the year, including the Availability Cost[1] verified for the Distributed Generation market.

These results are mainly due to, of energy consumed by the classes:

i)Commercial, with an increase of 6.9%, impacted by the resumption of economic activity from the easing of restrictive measures to social mobility to prevent coronavirus, with an impact on the growth of consumption of: Education Activities by 34.3%, representing 2.0% of class consumption; Accommodation by 32.0%, representing 2.5% of class consumption; Food by 15.6%, representing 6.1% of class consumption; Services for Buildings by 14.6%, representing 5.4% of class consumption; and Retail by 5.6%, representing 31.1% of class consumption;

[1] The availability cost represents the minimum amount charged for the availability of the distribution grid and is referenced in the input configurations of consumer units: 30 kWh single-phase, 50 kWh two-phase and 100 kWh three-phase circuits (ANEEL Ordinance Nº 1,000/2021 , art. 291).
