The billed grid market, which deducts part of the energy offset by Mini and Micro Distributed Generation (MMGD), grew by 7.2% in 2Q26. Electricity consumption in Copel Distribuição’s grid market increased by 7.3% compared to the same period last year.

This result stems primarily from increased consumption in the residential and commercial segments, driven mainly by greater economic activity in the concession area, growth in the customer base over the period, and higher temperatures at the beginning of 2Q26 compared to those observed in 2Q25.

*Considers the effect of reclassifying industrial consumer units to residential and commercial.
