Copel Distribuição's grid market down 5.9% in the second quarter

This report analyzes Copel's electricity market performance between April and June 2020 and compares it to the figures for the same period in 2019.

Grid Market (TUSD)

Copel Distribuição’s grid market, comprising the captive market, concessionaires and licensees in the state of Paraná, and all free consumers in the Company’s concession area, adjusted by removing consumers connected at 230 kV from the basis of comparison, shrank by 5,9% in terms of energy consumption in 2Q20, as illustrated in the following table:

The result is mainly due to the reduction of economic activity in several areas depending on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, which had a negative impact on the free market, with a 6.7% decline in 2Q20, reflecting the decrease in industrial production in the state of Paraná (down by 30.6%in April and 18.1% in May). This result was partially offset by the increased energy consumption by residential customers (5.2%) and rural costumers (3.3%).

The captive market

Copel Distribuição’s captive market energy sales totaled 4,554 GWh in 2Q20, a reduction of 5.8%. The following table illustrates captive market behavior according to customer segment.

The residential class consumed 1.891 GWh between April and June 2020, registering a growth of 5.2 %, which reflects principally the increase in average monthly consumption to 163kWh/month, a 3.1% variation in comparison to 2Q19, due mainly to social isolation measures adopted in the second half of March, which encouraged people to spend more time at home in the period.

In the second quarter of 2020, this class accounted for 41.5% of captive market consumption, totaling 3,868,967 consumers at the end of June 2020.

The industrial class registered a drop of 18.8% in the period from April to June 2020, totaling 549 GWh, which is a reflection mainly (i) of the sharp drop in industrial energy consumption, due to the decrease in level of economic activity in several areas due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, having the manufacture of non-metallic mineral products (-49.4%) and motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (-38.4%) as the industry segments with the greatest impact on this result; and (ii) of the migration of customers to the free market, which would represent an average consumption of approximately 80 GWh in the quarter. At the end of June 2020, the industrial class represented 12.1% of captive market consumption, with 71,209 consumers.

The commercial class consumed 928 GWh in 2Q20, a reduction of 19.1%, resulting from the lower level of economic activity is due to the reduction in the level of economic activity due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The activities with the greatest impact on this result were services to buildings and landscape activities (-45.1%) and civil construction (-62.9%). At the end of the second quarter of 2020, this class represented 20.4% of captive market consumption, with 405,560 consumers.

The energy consumption of the rural class increased 3.3% in 2Q20, totaling 597 GWh, reflecting the good performance of agribusiness in Paraná, despite the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the end of June 2020, the rural class represented 13.1% of captive market consumption, with 348,758 consumers.

The other classes (public authorities, public lighting, public services and own consumption) totaled 589 GWh consumed between April and June 2020, with a reduction of 7.7%, resulting mainly from the 28.7% drop in the public authorities class, motivated by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Together, these classes represented 12.9% of captive market consumption, with 59,212 consumers at the end of the second quarter of 2020.
