Sérgio Moro: There are also objective data provided by Aneel and by Copel itself that there was an increase in the average time to restore electricity, with particular emphasis on the average preparation time; these figures went from 4 hours in 2024 to 6 hours 45 minutes, according to data collected by Aneel.
Sérgio Moro: But, in my view, these figures are quite generous compared to reality, because the business leadership entities presented much more disturbing data about the time and delay in the restoration of electricity supplies.
In this context, in which there is widespread dissatisfaction with the quality of service provided by Copel, it was reported that it has petitioned Aneel for authorization for a tariff increase of about 26.7% on the electricity bills of Paraná residents.
Sérgio Moro: An increase that, for certain companies and certain voltage levels, can reach up to 51%.
Sérgio Moro: There is the prospect of that adjustment being granted — 19% this year and 7% the following year — but, look, these are percentages far above inflation and which reflect, according to what was reported at the hearing, the amount of investments Copel made during this period.
