COPEL ("Company") hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general:
DistributionGrid Market
The billed grid market, which deducts part of the energy offset by Mini and Micro Distributed Generation (MMGD), grew by 2.1% in 1Q26. Electricity consumption in Copel Distribuição's grid market increased by 2.5% compared to the same period last year.
This performance was driven mainly by increased consumption in the residential and commercial segments, reflecting greater economic activity in the concession area, as well as growth in the customer base over the period.
