2.1.1 Compagás
Compagás is a party to a concession agreement entered into with the Concession Grantor, the State of Paraná, setting July 6, 2024 as the expiry date of the concession. Such date has always been announced and considered for assessment of the balances of the prior-year financial statements.
On December 7, 2017, the State of Paraná published Supplementary Law 205, introducing a new interpretation of the expiry of the concession, understanding that expiry will be on January 1, 2019.

The management board of Compagás, its Parent company and other shareholders are looking into and challenging the effects of the aforesaid law, understanding that they conflict with the provisions of the concession agreement currently in force. However, as by the end of issuance of this quarterly information such discussion had not yet been closed and that law continues in force, the effects on the quarterly information for 3/31/2018 had to be taken into consideration.
Management will continue to make its best efforts to protect the Company interests, aiming to appropriately settle the impacts of the new interpretation given by the Concession Grantor and find alternatives necessary to maintain the concession in a sustainable manner.
The impacts on Compagás financial statements for 3/31/2018 by accelerating the expiry of the concession are as follows:

3 Basis of Preparation
3.1 Statement of compliance
The quarterly information is being presented considering the provisions of CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. Consequently, certain information contained in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended 12/31/2017, and which was not subject to modifications in the first quarter of 2018, is not being presented. Therefore, this quarterly information should be read together with the financial statements as at 12/31/2017, available on the websites of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM and Copel.
Company's management believes that all the relevant information used in its management is evidenced in the individual and consolidated quarterly information.
The issuance of the individual and consolidated quarterly information was approved by Management on May 15, 2018.

![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
3.2 Functional and presentation currency
The individual and consolidated quarterly information is presented in Brazilian Reais, which is the functional currency of the Company. The financial information has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
3.3 Basis of measurement
The quarterly information was prepared based on the historical cost, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value and investments.
3.4 Use of estimates and judgments
In the preparation of this quarterly information, Management used judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis. Reviews of estimates are recognized in the period in which it is revised (prospective basis).
The information on the use of estimates and judgments involving the application of the accounting policies adopted that has effects on the amounts recognized in the quarterly information is the same as that disclosed in Note 3.4 to the financial statements as of 12/31/2017.
4 Significant Accounting Policies
4.1 Standards applicable to the Company beginning on January 1, 2018
4.1.1 CPC 48/IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
This standard establishes three categories for classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities: (i) measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) measured at amortized cost, based on the business model within which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows; and (iii) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company and its subsidiaries adopted CPC 48/IFRS 9 using the exemption set forth in item 7.2.15 which allows them not to restate prior period’s comparative information due to the changes in classification and measurement of financial instruments. The differences in the balances of financial assets and liabilities arising from the initial adoption of CPC 48/IFRS 9 were recognized in retained earnings.
18
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
Impairment
In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 / CPC 48 requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized.
CPC 48/IFRS 9 requires the Company’s management to carry out an assessment in light of twelve months or throughout the life of the financial asset and record the effects in case of indication of expected credit losses on financial assets.
The Company and its subsidiaries applied the simplified approach according to which expected losses are recognized throughout the life of financial assets of trade accounts receivable.
Effects on initial application
The new requirements of CPC 48/IFRS had the following impacts on the classification of financial assets, as shown below:
| | |
Financial instrument | Atual classification (CPC 38/IAS 39) | New classification CPC 48/IFRS 9 |
Bonds and securities | Available for sale | Fair value through profit or loss |

The Company did not designate financial liabilities as fair value through profit or loss, thus there was no impact on the classification of financial liabilities.
4.1.2 CPC 47/IFRS 15 - Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
The standard establishes that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduces a five-step model for revenue recognition: (i) Identify the contract with the customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Under IFRS 15 / CPC 47, an entity recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation, i.e., when the "control" over the goods and services in a certain operation is transferred to the customer, and will establish a greater level of detail in the disclosures.In addition, this standard establishes a greater detailing in the disclosures related to contracts with customers:
The effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2018 was a decrease in trade accounts receivable by R$2,960, increase in deferred tax assets by R$1,280, against a decrease in retained earnings of R$1,680, with the related effects on the Parent Company’s investments and retained earnings, due to equity in earnings of investees.
In addition, beginning on January 1, 2018, the continuity indicators are Individual Interruption Duration - DIC, Individual Interruption Frequency - FIC, Maximum Continuous Interruption Duration - DMIC and Individual Interruption Duration on a critical day - DICRI, previously recorded as operating expenses and currently recorded as reducing the revenue from electric network availability.

7.1 Energy installments plan
The trade accounts receivable renegotiated are discounted to present value, at 3/31/2018, taking into consideration the future value, the maturity dates, the dates of settlement and the discount rate ranging from 0.08% to 3.95% p.m.
7.2 Electricity Trading Chamber - CCEE
From the balance of R$447,692 at Copel GeT, R$56,715 had been received up to the publication date of this quarterly information and the remaining is expected to be received in the following settlements of the CCEE during 2018.
The balance receivable includes R$181,560 derived from the reprocessing by CCEE of the energy measured at the PLD for the period from January to September 2015, as a result of the favorable reply on the request for preliminary injunction in the common civil action that claims for exclusion of responsibility in energy delivery to comply with the trading contracts of Colíder HPP (Note 19.6). In this period, Copel GeT fulfilled its commitment regarding energy surplus not contracted in its other plants.
From the amount calculated by CCEE, based on the PLD amount, arising from the effects of the injunction to exclude the responsibility of the Colíder HPP, there is an estimated loss on doubtful receivables of R$119,665. The remaining balance of R$111,952 refers to the right to energy supply, regardless of any litigation, measured at the price of the trading agreements.
Also, regarding the exclusion of responsibility of the Colíder HPP, there is another additional portion of R$36,081 related to the same energy supply, measured at the PLD, which was not recognized due to the uncertainty on the judgment of the merit of the lawsuit.

8 CRC Transferred to the State Government of Paraná
By means of a fourth amendment dated January 21, 2005, the Company renegotiated with the State of Paraná the outstanding CRC (Account for Compensation of Income and Losses) balance as of December 31, 2004, in the amount of R$1,197,404, to be paid in 244 installments under the Price amortization system, adjusted according to the IGP-DI inflation index plus interest of 6.65% p.a., which are received monthly, with the first installment due on January 30, 2005 and the others due in subsequent and consecutive months.
The Paraná State Government requested the Novation of the Adjustment Term of CRC, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 16, 2016, subject to the consent of the Ministry of Finance. (i) no principal and interest payments in the period from April to December 2016, and (ii) no payment of principal and monthly payment of interest from January to December 2017. The other clauses were maintained, including the maintenance of the current indexes of correction and interest, thus not affecting the global net present value of referred agreement.
The Company’s management and the State of Paraná formalized on October 31, 2017 the fifth amendment.
The State of Paraná complied with the agreed terms and made the payments of the monthly interest forecast until December 2017. With the end of the grace period, the State of Paraná has strictly complied with the payments under the agreed terms, remaining 85 monthly installments to be paid.

Copel GeT extended the concession agreement 060/2001, pursuant to Law No. 12,783/2013, and recognized receivables related to the electricity transmission assets of the Existing Basic Network System (RBSE) and the connecting facilities and Other Transmission Facilities (RPC) existing in May 2000 and not yet depreciated or amortized.
On April 20, 2016, MME Ordinance No. 120 was published, determining that the amounts of assets not yet depreciated and/or amortized, shall comprise the Regulatory Remuneration Base (BRR) for electricity transmission concessionaires as of the 2017 tariff review process, in order to define the Annual Permitted Revenue (APR). The Ordinance addressed issues related to updating, remunerating and period for receiving the amounts, which are regulated by ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 762/2017, by means of Public Hearing 068/2016.
On April 12, 2017, ANEEL issued Technical Note No. 61/2017 - SFF, which concluded the audit of the assets appraisal report and recognized the amount of R$667,637 as the net value of the assets at December 31, 2012. ANEEL’s board approved the inspection results on May 9, 2017, with a disallowance of R$214,663 in relation to the amount originally requested of R$882,300, the main disallowance is related to assets of Substation SF6 of Salto Caxias.
Moreover, on June 27, 2017 ANEEL published Resolution No. 2,258 establishing the Annual Permitted Revenue (RAP), for the 2017/2018 tariff cycle, considering a court decision on the injunction of April 11, 2017 related to a lawsuit filed by three business associations, which determines the deduction of the “compensation”, provided for in article 15, paragraph 2 of Law 12,783/2013.
The compensation being challenged in court, related to the cost of equity calculated for the RBSE assets from January 2013 to June 2017 temporarily reduced the RAP of this cycle from R$132,993 to R$121,267, and the amount deducted from the RAP by ANEEL in the eight tariff cycles is R$201,795.

Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, Copel GeT understands that this is a provisional decision and is not against Copel GeT’s right to receive the amounts related to RSBE assets, which are guaranteed by Law. Therefore, the receivables related to the compensation by the cost of equity considered in the receipt flow of this asset are recorded in noncurrent assets.
The remeasurement of RBSE asset base at 3/31/2018 totals R$1,395,495, already considering the amortization for the RAP received, and the changes in the periods were recognized in operating income.

According to the contractual provisions and consumption perspectives, derived from the review of the projects and scenarios for the next years, Compagás estimates to fully offset the amounts paid in the course of its operation. Should the concession be early terminated for any reason, the agreement with Petrobras sets forth the right for sale of this asset. The expiry date of the concession is in discussion with the Concession Grantor, as described in Note 2.1.1

19.4 HPP Colíder
On July 30, 2010, at the ANEEL Auction of Power from New Projects 003/10, Copel GeT won the rights to the concession of the Colíder Hydroelectric Power Plant, valid for 35 years from the date of signature of Concession Agreement No. 001/11-MME-HPP Colíder, which took place on January 17, 2011.
37
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
This project will comprise a main powerhouse of 300 MW, which is enough to supply approximately one million people. The facility will take advantage of the hydroelectric potential discovered on the Teles Pires River, between the towns of Nova Canaã do Norte and Itaúba, in the northern region of the State of Mato Grosso.
The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) approved the classification of the HPP Colíder project for financial support and the signed financing agreement amounted to R$1,041,155 (Note 23). Until March 31, 2018, the financing amount of R$975,108 was released.
Due to acts of God and force majeure, such as fire at the construction site, and public power acts that created difficulties involving environmental licenses, among other setbacks, such as delays in delivery of equipment, in electromechanical assembly services and in the construction of the transmission line of the power plant, the project timeframe was adversely affected, leading to postponement of the commercial generation of the power plant, whose first generating unit is expected to be operational by June 2018, whilst the third and last one is expected by November 2018. As a result of these events, a balance of estimated losses on impairment of assets is recorded as shown in Note 19.9.
The Colíder Hydroelectric Power Plant’s power output was sold at an ANEEL auction at a final price of R$103.40/MWh, as of July 1, 2010, adjusted according to the variation of IPCA inflation index to R$164.55 as of 3/31/2018. 125 averages MW were sold, for supply starting on January 2015, for 30 years. Copel GeT submitted an application to ANEEL to exclude its responsibility, so that the obligation to supply energy could be postponed. In a first judgment, the request was not accepted, Copel GeT filed an application for reconsideration of the decision, which was also denied on March 14, 2017. Not agreeing with the decision, Copel GeT filed again an application for reconsideration, which was definitely denied on July 4, 2017. Copel GeT filed a common civil action with the Court on December 18, 2017 applying for a preliminary injunction and requesting the reversal of the decision of the Agency, and on April 6, 2018, the Federal Court of the 1st Region fully granted the preliminary injunction required by Copel Get in the Interlocutory Appeal to exempt it from any burden, charges or restrictions to right arising from the delay in the implementation schedule of the Colíder HPP.
Copel GeT has complied with its commitments of energy supply as follows:
· From January 2015 to June 2016 - with energy surpluses not contracted in its other plants;
· From June 2016 to December 2018 - with partial reduction, in June 2016, through a bilateral agreement; and
· from July 2016 to December 2018, with reduction of all supply contracts of the CCEARs - Energy Trading Agreement in the Regulated Environment, through a bilateral agreement and participation in the New Energy and Decrease Clearing Facility (“Mecanismo de Compensação de Sobras e Déficits de Energia Nova - MCSD-EN”).
On July 14, 2017, the assured power of the project was revised by MME Ordinance No. 213/SPE, going to 178.1 average MW, after full set-up.
At 3/31/2018, the expenditures incurred on HPP Colíder presented a balance of R$2,152,298.

19.5.1 Consórcio Empreendedor Baixo Iguaçu - Cebi
The purpose of the consortium is to build and operate the project known as Baixo Iguaçu Hydroelectric Plant, with minimum installed capacity of 350.20 MW and physical guarantee revised to 171.3 MW. The plant is located on the Iguaçu River between the municipalities of Capanema and Capitão Leônidas Marques, and between the Governador José Richa Hydroelectric Plant and the Iguaçu National Park, in the State of Paraná.
The start of commercial operation of the three units is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2018. The previous schedule has been changed due to the suspension of the Installation License, as per the decision of the Federal Court of the 4th Region (TRF-RS), held on June 16, 2014, that stopped the construction work as of July of that year. In March 2015, a decision authorizing the Company to resume construction work was published. However, Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade - ICMBio imposed additional conditions for granting an environmental license to the Company, which prevented it from resuming construction work. Cebi sent IAP - Environmental Institute of Paraná the information necessary for those conditions to be met and in August 2015 the license was issued. Having obtained the IAP license, and after technical and contractual adjustments required due to the long downtime, the works were resumed on February 2, 2016.
On August 23, 2016, the Company signed the 2nd Amendment to the Concession Agreement with the purpose of formalizing the redefinition of the work schedule, acknowledging in favor of Cebi the exclusion of responsibility for the delay in implementing the project for a period of 756 days, which was considered as an extension of the concession period, which originally was until August 19, 2047 and became September 14, 2049. On November 7, 2017, ANEEL acknowledged through the Authorization No. 3,770 an additional period of 46 days for exclusion of responsibility relating to the recurring invasions of the construction site, between May and October 2016, thus totaling 802 days for exclusion of responsibility for delays in implementing the project.
The constructions and electromechanical assembly of the powerhouse enabled the installation/positioning of important parts of the turbine-generator set. The assembly of units 01, 02 and 03 are at fast pace and should be completed for the first tests in mid July 2018. The river diversion to enable the last phase of the construction is scheduled to be carried out in July 2018.

30 Provisions for Legal Claims
The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various judicial and administrative proceedings before different courts. Based on assessments made by the Company’s legal counsel, Management makes provisions for actions in which losses are rated probable, thus meeting the criteria for recognition of provisioning described in Note 4.8 to the financial statements at 12/31/2017.
The Company’s management believes that, at the time of preparation of financial statements, it is notpracticable to provide information regarding the expected timing of any cash outflows resulting from these legal actions in which the Company and its subsidiaries are involved, due to the slow pace and unpredictability of Brazilian legal, tax and regulatory systems, and since final resolution of the proceedings for which a provision has been registered depends on the conclusions of court proceedings. Therefore, this information is not being provided.

Actions relating to federal, state and municipal taxes, fees and other charges: The principal action is described below:
Defendant:Federal Tax Authority
By the case 5037809-14.2015.4.04.7000, Copel GeT required payment in installments of the balance owed on the annual adjustment of corporate income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution (CSLL) for the fiscal year 2014. The Federal Tax Authority consolidated the amount and applied the maximum fine. An injunction was filed against this decision since the Federal Tax Authority failed to obey the limit established in legislation.
Current status: awaiting judgment of the Special Appeal. Since December 31, 2016, the amount of R$24,230 has been presented in Other Tax Obligations (Note 13.3).
c) Labor
Labor claims comprise claims filed by employees and former employees of Copel and its subsidiaries in connection with the payment of overtime, hazardous working conditions, transfer bonuses, salary equality/reclassification, and other matters, and also claims by former employees of contractors and third- parties (secondary responsibility) involving indemnity and other matters.
d) Employee benefits
Labor claims comprise claims filed by retired former employees of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries against the Copel Foundation, which will have consequential impact on the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, since additional contributions will be required.
e) Civil and administrative claims
Actions involving billing, irregular procedure, administrative contracts and contractual fine, indemnity for accidents with the electric power grid or vehicles.
The balance also contains the amount being discussed by arbitration and under secrecy and confidentiality, in the discovery phase, without no decision being handed down.
The main lawsuits are as follows:
Plaintiff: Tradener Ltda. Estimated amount: R$118,476
Class action No. 588/2006 has already been rendered final and unappealable, and the ruling recognized as valid commissions payable by the Company to Tradener. In the civil public action No. 0000219- 78.2003.8.16.0004, filed by the Prosecution Office, a decision has also been rendered ruling on the absence of irregularities in the electric power purchase agreement. Therefore, Tradener brought recovery lawsuits, seeking to receive its commissions.
56
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
Current status:Case record 0005990.22.2012.8.16.0004 - the Company was ordered to pay the amount of R$107,955, which is the value updated by the (INPC/IBGE) from the maturity of the commissions, plus default interest of 1% per month, as of the date of notification (October 31, 2012), as well as attorneys’ fees. The Company filed an appeal against this decision, however, on November 8, 2016, by majority votes, the Court dismissed the appeal. Copel filed a request for Amendment of Judgment, which was partially granted to resolve obscurity, although without changing the result of the appeal. Copel filed a Special Appeal with the Superior Court of Justice.
Plaintiff: Compensation to third parties Estimated amount: R$97,907
Lawsuit for compensation of supposed loss to the plaintiff due to work and implementation of the hydroelectric project. Low court judgment declaring the lawsuit has no grounds and being appealed by the grounded claim of the plaintiff, and the amount of damages should be determined subsequently.
Current status:in the phase of closing of case.
f) Easements
Lawsuits are filed when there is a difference between the amount determined by Copel for payment and the amount claimed by the owner and/or when the owner's paper title may not be registered (probate proceedings are underway, properties have no registry number, etc.).
They may also involve third-party interventions for adverse possession, whether from owners or occupants of contiguous properties or even in cases of properties where right of way easements is required to preserve limits and boundaries of these areas.
g) Expropriations and property
Lawsuits are filed challenging expropriation when there is a difference between the amount determined by Copel for payment and the amount claimed by the owner and/or when the owner's paper title may not be registered (probate proceedings are underway, properties have no registry number, etc.).Possessory case actions include those for repossession of property owned by the concessionaire. Litigation arises when there is a need to repossess properties invaded or occupied by third parties in areas owned by the Company. Cases may also arise from intervention in third-party adverse possession, or owners or occupants of contiguous properties or even in cases of properties to preserve limits and boundaries of expropriated areas.
h) Consumers
Lawsuits seeking compensation for damages caused in household appliances, lawsuits claiming damages for pain and suffering caused by service interruption and lawsuits filed by industrial consumers challenging the lawfulness of the increase in electricity prices while Plano Cruzado (anti-inflation plan) was in effect and claiming reimbursement for the amounts paid by the Company.

i) Environmental
Class actions whose purpose is to obstruct the progress of environmental licensing for new projects or to recover permanent preservation areas located around the hydroelectric power plant dams unlawfully used by private individuals. If the outcome of the lawsuits is unfavorable to the Company, management estimates only the cost to prepare new environmental studies and to recover the areas owned by Copel GeT.
They also contemplate the “Termos de Ajuste de Conduta -TAC”, which refers to the commitments agreed upon and approved between the Company and the competent bodies for noncompliance with any condition contained in the Installation and Operation Licenses. As they are considered liabilities, these amounts are recorded as "obligations" in current and noncurrent liabilities and the balancing items in property, plant and equipment (construction cost).
j) Regulatory
The Company is challenging, both at the administrative and judicial levels, notifications issued by the Regulatory Agency of alleged violations against regulations. The principal action is described below:
Plaintiffs: Companhia Estadual de Energia Elétrica - CEEE and Dona Francisca Energética S.A.

30.2 Contingent liabilities
30.2.1 Classification of actions rated as possible losses

30.2.2 Description of nature and/or details of the principal actions
a) Tax
Actions relating to federal, state and municipal taxes, fees and other charges in which the Company challenges their applicability, calculation bases and amounts due to be collected. The main lawsuits are as follows:
58
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
Plaintiff: Social Security National Institute (INSS) Estimated amount: R$328,628
Tax claims against Copel related to social security contribution on assignment of manpower (lawsuit No. 5003583-56.2010.404.7000); it is worth emphasizing that the case has already been judged favorably to the Company at two court levels, awaiting judgment by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ).
Current status:awaiting judgment.
Plaintiff: Social Security National Institute (INSS) Estimated amount: R$27,971
Tax collections against Copel consisting of social security contribution imposed on the assignment of labor (NFLD - 35.273.876-6). The case has been at Carf (Brazilian Administrative Tax Court) for judgment since 2010. The assessment of risk as possible is due to the existence of several legal arguments to defend the Company, particularly (a) the fact that no services were provided and no labor was assigned and (b) the fact that service providers classified into the Simples (lower taxation) category are not required to withhold that contribution.
Current status:awaiting judgment.
Plaintiff: State Tax Authority (SEFAZ) Estimated amount: R$71,550
Copel DIS received tax deficiency notice 6.587.156-4 from the State of Paraná for allegedly failing to pay ICMS (VAT) tax on the ‘metered demand’ line in the electricity bills issued to a major consumer between May 2011 and December 2013.
The Company maintains its illegitimacy to appear in the taxable position of this tax assessment, since it was not included in the judicial process, cannot suffer the effects of the judicial decision pronounced in it, which would imply in its illegitimacy to appear in the taxable position of the tax deficiency notice 6.587.156-4.
b) Labor
Labor claims comprise claims filed by employees and former employees of Copel and its subsidiaries in connection with the payment of overtime, hazardous working conditions, transfer bonuses, salary equality/reclassification, and other matters, and also claims by former employees of contractors and third- parties (secondary responsibility) involving indemnity and other matters.
c) Employee benefits
Labor claims comprise claims filed by retired former employees of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries against the Copel Foundation, which will have consequential impact on the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, since additional contributions will be required.
d) Civil
Actions involving billing, irregular procedure, administrative contracts and contractual fine, indemnity for accidents with the electric power grid or vehicles.
The balance also contains the amount being discussed by arbitration and under secrecy and confidentiality, in the discovery phase, without no decision being handed down.
59
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
The main lawsuits are as follows:
Plaintiff: Mineradora Tibagiana Ltda. Estimated amount: R$160,029
Action claiming compensation for alleged losses when this mining company was involved in the construction of the Mauá plant by the Energético Cruzeiro do Sul consortium in which Copel GeT has a 51% stake. The action challenges the validity of the mining permit granted by Mineradora Tibagiana for the Mauá job site and the indemnifying effects arising thereof.
Current status:action awaiting judgment in lower court.
Plaintiffs:franchises of the Agency / Copel store Estimated amount: R$55,545
Filing of two individual claims against Copel Distribuição regarding the franchise contracts of Copel branches/stores, with the main petition claiming an extension of the term of the contract and secondary petition to recognize the existence of a sub concession, with transfer of the services provided and full pass- through of the fees, amongst other amounts, currently have appeals awaiting trial.
Current status:awaiting judgment.
e) Regulatory
The Company is challenging, both at the administrative and judicial levels, notifications issued by the Regulatory Agency of alleged violations against regulations. The main lawsuits are as follows:
Plaintiff: ANEEL Estimated amount: R$18,922
The Company filed an appeal against a decision by ANEEL's Director-General under Resolution No. 3,959 from December 8, 2015 imposing an inefficiency penalty on Copel DIS due to over-contracting for use of the distribution system (MUSD) with the National Power Network Operator (ONS), obtaining an injunction to suspend the requirement of such penalty.
Current status: ANEEL’s appeal was not granted.
Plaintiff: Energia Sustentável do Brasil S.A. - - ESBR Estimated amount:R$729,609
ESBR brought Ordinary Action No. 10426-71.2013.4.01.4100 against ANEEL in the federal courts of Rondônia, the decision on which: (i) excludes liability for the 535-day schedule overrun in the construction of the Jirau Hydropower Station; (ii) declares any obligations, penalties and costs imposed on ESBR as a result of the schedule overrun to be unenforceable, and (iii) annuls ANEEL Resolution No. 1,732/2013, which recognized a schedule overrun of only 52 days.An appeal has been brought by ANEEL, in progress at the TRF of the 1st Region.
The practical outcome of the decision is that, by exempting ESBR, it exposed the distribution utilities with which it had concluded regulated power trading contracts (CCEARs) including Copel DIS to the spot market and spot prices during the period.The reason is that electricity trading rules require that all electricity consumed be covered by a contract.
60
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
The risk of loss in this case is rated ‘possible’, considering the amount of R$729,609, as of March 31, 2018. If the actions are judged unfavorably, the amount will be classified as Sectorial Financial Asset to be recovered through tariff rates.
Current status: awaiting judgment.

32.2.1 Energy Development Account - CDE
The primary objectives of the Energy Development Account (CDE) created by Law No. 10,438/2002 and amended by Law No. 12,783/2013, are: (i) universalization of the electric power service; (ii) subsidy to the low income residential subclass; (iii) Fuel Consumption Account - CCC; (iv) amortization of financial operations associated with the compensation upon the reversal of concessions or to meet the purposes of moderateness of tariffs; (v) competitiveness of the power produced by national mineral coal in the areas served by interlinked systems; (vi) competitiveness of the power produced by wind sources, small hydroelectric power plants, biomass, natural gas and other renewable sources; (vii) subsidy for tariff discounts to the distributors due to the loss of revenue from discounts granted on tariffs of use of distribution and transmission systems and on electric power tariffs; (viii) administrative funding grants for management of CDE, CCC and RGR by CCEE; and (ix) compensation to the rural electrification cooperatives, concessionaires or permission holders by the tariff impact from the reduced density of load in relation to the supplying concessionaire.
CDE’s quotas were originally defined based on the CCC figures for the 2001 Interconnected Systems, the values of which were adjusted annually starting in 2002 in proportion to the market growth of each agent, and in 2004 also by the IPCA. As of Law 12,783/2013, the system is changed and quotas are defined based on the resources needed to achieve its purposes and other revenues related to the CDE. The CDE charge incorporates:
i) annual quota of “CDE-Uso”: this quota is allocated to the financing of the objectives of the CDE, set forth in its annual budget, defined by the Federal Government, as provided in §§ 2 and 3 of art. 13 of Law 10,438/2002, with wording given by Law No. 12,783/2013.
ANEEL Resolution No. 2,358/2017 defined the CDE-Uso quotas for 2018, subsequently amended by Resolution No. 2,368/2018, in the amount of R$52,181 as of January 2018, R$112,675 as of February 2018 and R$71,686 as of March 2018;
ii) annual quota “CDE - Energia” (ACR account): this quota is intended for the discharge of credit operations contracted by CCEE in the management of the Regulated Contracting Environment - ACR Account, in compliance with Decree No. 8,222/2014, and pursuant to ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 612/2014.
The purpose of the ACR Account is to cover costs relating to involuntary spot market exposure and the costs of thermal power dispatching in 2014.
65
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
Resolution No. 1,863/2015 defined the value of the CDE quota (ACR Account) at R$46,638, as of June 2015. Beginning June 2016, by means of Resolution No. 2,004/2015, the amount of the quota was updated to R$49,362. In April 2017, the quota was reduced to R$37,907 until March 2018, and from April 2018 to March 2020, the quota will be R$49,362, as approved by Resolution No. 2,231/2017. These installments are updated annually, in accordance with the conditions contracted by CCEE for each of the loans made with the participating financial institutions; and
iii) annual quota CDE-Energia: destined to the return of the resources received by the distribution concessionaires, from January 2013 to January 2014, to cover costs relating to involuntary spot market exposure and the hydrological risk of the plants contracted on a regime of quotas, and the costs of thermal power dispatching for reasons of energy security, in compliance with Decree 7,895/2013 and Decree 8,203/2014.
From June 2017 to May 2018, the monthly amount of the CDE-Energia quota was established at R$20,138 by Resolution No. 2,202/2017.
Preliminary injunctions
As a result of preliminary injunctions in favor of the Brazilian Association of Large Industrial Consumers and Free Consumers - Abrace, and of the National Association of Energy Consumers - Anace and other associates, which challenge at court the tariff components of CDE-Uso and CDE-Energia, ANEEL, through Resolutions 1,967/2015, 1,986/2015 and 2,083/2016, ratified the tariff calculation deducting these charges from associates of those entities, as long as the preliminary injunctions granted in Judicial Proceedings No. 24648-39.2015.4.01.3400 and No. 0069262-32.2015.4.01.3400 / 16th Federal Court are in effect.
On the other hand, by the preliminary injunction in favor of Abradee, the associated distributors are guaranteed the right of non-transfer, deducting from the portion of CDE-Uso and CDE-Energia the amounts not collected due to the effects of the preliminary injunction. This deduction, which covers all preliminary injunctions, was approved by ANEEL by Order No. 1,576/2016.
Moreover, in compliance with the preliminary injunction granted in the Judicial Proceedings No. 0028882-30.2016.4.01.3400 of the 2nd Federal Court, ANEEL, through Order No. 2,634/2016, ratified, regarding the 2016 tariff process, new Tariffs for Use of Distribution Systems - Tusd for Abrace members, effective as of June 29, 2016 for as long as the effects of the preliminary injunction relief remain. In addition to the Abrace and Anace associates, other companies have also obtained favorable injunctions, with publication of new tariffs.
By means of Resolution No. 2,255 of 6/20/2017, Article 14, the tariff components of the Energy Tariff (TE) in R$/MWh, which must be applied in compliance with the injunctions granted in lawsuits that remain for the 2017 tariff process. As shown in table 11 to this Resolution, the customer units included in injunctions 0069262-32.2015.4.01.3400, of the National Association of Energy Consumers - Anace, and No. 0028996- 66.2016.4.01.3400, of the Labor Union of Cement Industry– SNIC. On December 18, 2017, ANEEL also approved, through Order No. 4,256, different tariffs for consumer units benefited by injunction No. 5007958-97.2015.4.04.7009. Currently, there are nine consumer units benefited.
Accordingly, the Company has been carrying out the deduction of the payment of the CDE quota from the unbilled amounts resulting from these injunctions, thus not impacting the distributor’s result.

32.3 Copel DIS periodic tariff adjustment
The annual tariff adjustment, which occurs between tariff reviews, is approved by ANEEL based on a formula defined in the concession agreement and on regulations established in Proret, which consider for unmanageable costs (Portion A) the variations incurred in the period and for manageable costs (Portion B) the IPCA variation, adjusted by applying the Factor X.
ANEEL’s Resolution No. 2,255 of June 20, 2017 approved the result of Copel DIS Annual Tariff Review and authorized a 5.85% average adjustment to be perceived by consumers, consisting of: -0.73% related to the inclusion of financial components; 1.07% from updating Portion B; 2.78% from adjusting Portion A; and 2.73% reflecting the withdrawal of the financial components from the previous tariff process.
This adjustment was fully applied to Copel DIS tariffs as of June 24, 2017.

73
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
d) The fair values of generation assets approximate their book values, according to Note 4.3.10 to the financial statements for the year ended 12/31/2017.
e) Calculated according to the price quotations published in an active market, for assets classified as level 1, and determined in view of the comparative assessment model for assets classified as level 2.
f) Calculated based on the cost of the last issue by the Company, 119.0% of the CDI for discount of the expected payment flows.
g) The Company based its calculation on the comparison with a long-term and post-fixed National Treasury Bond (NTN-B) maturing on August 15, 2024, which yields approximately 4.63% p.y. plus the IPCA inflation index.
h) Receivables related to the concession agreement for providing electricity generation services under quota arrangements at their fair value calculated by expected cash inflows discounted at the rate established in ANEEL auction notice 12/2015 (9.04%).
i) Calculated from the Unit Price quotation (PU) for 3/29/2018, obtained from the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Markets (Anbima), net of financial cost to amortize.
j) Real net discount rate of 8.11% p.a., in line with the Company’s estimated rate for long-term projects.
36.2 Financial risk management

74

a) The Company’s Management manages the credit risk of its assets in accordance with the Group's policy of investing virtually all of its funds in federal banking institutions. As a result of legal and/or regulatory requirements, in exceptional circumstances the Company may invest funds in prime private banks.
b) The risk arises from the possibility that the Company might incur in losses resulting from difficulties to receive its billings to customers. This risk is closely related to internal and external factors of Copel. To mitigate this type of risk, the Company manages its accounts receivable, detecting default consumers, implementing specific collection policies and suspending the supply and/or recording of energy and the provision of service, , as established in the agreement.
c) Management believes this credit risk is low because repayments are secured by funds from dividends.
d) Management believes this risk is very low because these contracts assure an unconditional right to be paid in cash by the concession Granting Authority at the end of the concession period for any infrastructure investments not recovered through tariffs.
e) Management believes this risk is very low because these contracts assure an unconditional right to be paid in cash by the concession Granting Authority at the end of the concession period for any infrastructure investments not recovered through tariffs by the end of the period, specifically for the transmission business, since RAP is guaranteed revenue that does not involve demand risk.
For investments made in infrastructure and that were not recovered through tariff until the end of the concession, the agreements assure the right to receive cash until the end of the concession to be paid by the Granting Authority.
For the amount relating to RBSE assets existing on May 31, 2000, ANEEL published Normative Resolution 589/2013, which defines criteria for calculating the New Replacement Value (VNR). Given that on April 20, 2016, through MME Ordinance 120, the Granting Authority defined the means and period for receiving this asset regulated by. ANEEL Normative Resolution 762/2017, Management considers the risk of this credit to be low, even considering the injunctions that temporarily reduced the RAP receivable, regarding the cost of equity determined in RSBE’s assets from January 2013 to June 2017, as described in Note 10.4.
f) Management considers the risk of this credit to be very low, as the contract for the sale of energy by quota guarantees the receipt of an Annual Generation Revenue - RAG guaranteed which includes the annual amortization of this amount during the concession term.
75
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
g) For the generation concession assets, ANEEL published Normative Resolution 596/2013, which defines criteria for calculating the New Replacement Value (VNR), for indemnity purposes. Although the Granting Authority has not yet disclosed the means of remunerating these assets and there are uncertainties as to approval or ratification of investments made in this respect, Management believes that compensation for these assets indicates the recoverability of the recorded balance.
h) Management believes this credit risk is very low because these are specific programs together with the State Government.
i) The risk arises from the possibility that the Company might incur losses resulting from the volatility on the stock market. This type of risk involves external factors and has been managed through periodic assessment of the variations occurred in the market.
36.2.2 Liquidity risk
The Company's liquidity risk consists of the possibility of insufficient funds, cash or other financial asset to settle obligations on scheduled dates.
The Company manages liquidity risk relying on a set of methodologies, procedures and instruments applied for a permanent control over financial processes to ensure a proper management of risks.
Investments are financed by incurring medium and long-term debt with financial institutions and capital markets.
Short-, medium- and long-term business projections are made and submitted to management bodies for evaluation. The budget for the next fiscal year is annually approved.
Medium and long-term business projections cover monthly periods over the next five years. Short-term projections consider daily periods covering only the next 90 days.
The Company permanently monitors the volume of funds to be settled by controlling cash flows to reduce funding costs, the risk involved in the renewal of loan agreements and compliance with the financial investment policy, while at the same time keeping minimum cash levels.
The following table shows the expected undiscounted settlement amounts in each time range. Projections were based on financial indicators linked to the related financial instruments and forecast according to average market expectations as disclosed on the Central Bank of Brazil's Focus Report, which provides the average expectations of market analysts for these indicators for the current year and the following year. From 2021, 2020 indicators are repeated through the forecast period.

As disclosed in Notes 23.5 and 24.3, the Company and its subsidiaries have loans and financing agreements and debentures with covenants that if breached may have their payment accelerated.
36.2.3 Market risk
Market risk it is the risk that fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument shall oscillate due to changes in market prices, such as currency rates, interest rates and stock price. The purpose of managing this risk is to control exposures within acceptable limits, while optimizing return.
a) Foreign currency risk (US Dollar)
This risk comprises the possibility of losses due to fluctuations in exchange rates, which may reduce assets or increase liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The Company’s foreign currency indebtedness is not significant and it is not exposed to foreign exchange derivatives. The Company monitors all relevant exchange rates.
The effect of the exchange rate variation resulting from the power purchase agreement with Eletrobras (Itaipu) is passed on to customers in Copel DIS's next tariff adjustment.
The exchange rate risk posed by the purchase of gas arises from the possibility of Compagas reporting losses on the fluctuations in exchange rates, increasing the amount in Reais of the accounts payable related to the gas acquired from Petrobras. This risk is mitigated by the monitoring and transfer of the price fluctuation through tariff, when possible. Compagas monitors these fluctuations on an ongoing basis.
Sensitivity analysis of foreign currency risk
The Company has developed a sensitivity analysis in order to measure the impact of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar on its loans and financing subject to exchange risk.

The baseline takes into account the existing balances in each account as of 3/31/2018 and the probable scenario assumes a variation in the exchange rate - end of period (R$/US$3.37) based on the median market expectation for 2018 reported in the Central Bank’s Focus report of 5/4/2018. For the scenarios 1 and 2, deteriorations of 25% and 50%, respectively, were considered for the main risk factor for the financial instrument compared to the rate used in the probable scenario.

In addition to the sensitivity analysis required by CVM Resolution No. 475/2008, the Company evaluates its financial instruments considering the possible effects on profit and loss and equity of the risks evaluated by Company management on the reporting date for the financial instruments, as recommended by CPC 40 (R1) Financial Instruments. Disclosure. Based on the equity position and the notional value of the financial instruments held as of 3/31/2018, it is estimated that these effects will approximate the amounts stated in the above table in the column for the forecast probable scenario, since the assumptions used by the Company are similar to those previously described.
b) Interest rate and monetary variation risk
This risk comprises the possibility of losses due to fluctuations in interest rates or other indicators, which may reduce financial income or financial expenses or increase the financial expenses related to the assets and liabilities raised in the market.
The Company has not engaged in transactions with derivatives to cover this risk, but it has continually monitored interest rates and market indicators, in order to assess the potential need for such transactions.
Sensitivity analysis of interest rate and monetary variation risk
The Company has developed a sensitivity analysis in order to measure the impact of variable interest rates and monetary variations on its financial assets and liabilities subject to these risks.
The baseline scenario takes into account the existing balances in each account as of 3/31/2018 while the ‘probable’ scenario assumes balances reflecting varying indicators as follows: CDI/Selic - 6.25%, IPCA - 3.49%, IGP DI - 4.53%, IGP-M - 4.80% and TJLP - 6.10%, estimated as market average projections for 2018 according to the Focus Report issued by the Central Bank of Brazil as of 5/4/2018, except TJLP that considers the Company’s internal projection.
For the scenarios 1 and 2, deteriorations of 25% and 50%, respectively, were considered for the main risk factor for the financial instrument compared to the rate used in the probable scenario.

36.2.4 Electricity shortage risk
Approximately 64% of installed capacity in the country currently comes from hydroelectric generation, as informed by the Generation Information Bank of ANEEL, which makes Brazil and the geographic region in which we operate subject to hydrological conditions that are unpredictable, due to non-cyclical deviations of mean precipitation. Unsatisfactory hydrological conditions may cause, among other things, the implementation of comprehensive programs of electricity savings, such as rationalization or even a mandatory reduction of consumption, which is the case of rationing.
From 2014, the reservoirs of the Southeast/Midwest, North and Northeast regions have been subject to adverse climate situations, leading agencies responsible for this industry to adopt water resources optimization measures to guarantee full compliance with load.
79
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
The economic crisis that the country is going through has had a significant impact on the consumption of electricity, practically stagnating its growth in the last 4 years, being decisive to avoid a greater difficulty in the full service of the market.
Regarding short-term risk, the Electric Power Industry Monitoring Committee - CMSE has been reporting a balance between energy supply and demand, and indices have been kept within safety margins. The same position is adopted by ONS regarding the risk of deficit in the medium term, as stated in the 2018-2022 Energy Operation Plan.
Although dam storage levels are not ideal, from the standpoint of regulatory agencies, when combined with other variables they are sufficient to keep the risk of deficit within the safety margin established by the National Energy Policy Council - CNPE (maximum risk of 5%) in all subsystems.
36.2.5 Risk of GSF impacts
The Energy Reallocation Mechanism (MRE) is a system of redistribution of electric power generated, characteristic of the Brazilian electric sector, which has its existence by the understanding, at the time, of the need for a centralized operation associated with a centrally calculated optimum price known as PLD. Since generators have no control over their production, each plant receives a certain amount of virtual energy which can be compromised through contracts. This value, which enables the registration of bilateral contracts, is known as Physical Guarantee - GF and is also calculated centrally. Unlike PLD, which is calculated on a weekly basis, GF, as required by Law, is recalculated every five years, with a limit of increase or decrease, restricted to 5% by revision or 10% in the concession period.
The contracts need to be backed. This is done, especially, through the allocation of power generated received from the MRE or purchase. The GSF is the ratio of the entire hydroelectric generation of the MRE participants to the GF sum of all the MRE plants. Basically, the GSF is used to calculate how much each plant will receive from generation to back up its GF. Thus, knowing the GSF of a given month the company will be able to know if it will need to back up its contracts through purchases.
Whenever GF multiplied by GF is less than the sum of contracts, the company will need to buy the difference in the spot market. However, whenever GSF multiplied by GF is greater than the total contracts, the company will receive the difference to the PLD.
The low inflows recorded since 2014 as well as problems with delays in the expansion of the transmission system have resulted in low GSF values, resulting in heavy losses for the companies holding MRE participating hydroelectric projects.
For plants with contracts in the Free Contracting Environment - ACL, the main way to manage the low GSF risk is not to compromise the entire GF with contracts, approach currently adopted by Copel.
For the contracts in the ACR, Law 13,203/2015, allowed the generators to contract insurance of the load, by means of payment of a risk premium. Copel adopted this approach to protect contracts related to energy produced by Mauá, Foz do Areia, Santa Clara, Fundão, Baixo Iguaçu and Cavernoso II Thermoelectric Plants.
For the distribution segment, the effects of the GSF are perceived in the costs of the contracts for availability, as well as in the costs associated with quota of Itaipu, of Angra and the plants whose concessions wererenewed in accordance with Law 12,783/2013. This is a financial risk, however, since it guarantees the neutrality of energy purchase expenses through a tariff transfer.

36.2.6 Risk of non-renewal of concessions - generation and transmission
Currently, the extension of generation, transmission and distribution concessions covered by Articles 17, 19 and 22 of Law No. 9,074/1995 is governed by Law 12,783/2013. However, extension is permitted after express acceptance of conditions of that Law, such as: i) distribution and transmission revenue determined according to criteria established by ANEEL; ii) submission to service quality standards defined by ANEEL; (iii) change from price remuneration to tariff calculated by ANEEL for each plant; and (v) allocation of plant energy and capacity physical guarantee shares to concessionaires and permission holders of distribution public utilities.
Concessions of hydroelectric power generation, electric power transmission and distribution may be extended at the discretion of the Concession Grantor, one single time, for a period of up to 30 years. However, for concessions of thermoelectric power generation, extension period is limited to 20 years. Decree 9,187 of November 1, 2017 regulates the extension of the thermoelectric power generation concessions set forth in Law 12,783.
Current regulation also defines that the concessionaire should request extension of concession of up to 60 months before the final contract date or after granting of concessions to hydroelectric power generation and electric power transmission and distribution plants, and of up to 24 months for thermoelectric plants.
81
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
It was also defined that, if the concessionaire opts to extend its concession, the Concession Grantor may advance effects of extension by up to 60 months counted as of contract or grant date, and may also define initial tariff or revenue.
On March 24, 2017 Copel GeT filed with ANEEL its intention to extend the granting of the Figueira Hydroelectric Plant generation concession, emphasizing, however, that it will sign the necessary contracts and / or amendments only after knowing and accepting the contractual terms and the rules that will govern any process related to the extension of the grant. For the other plants of Copel GeT with concessions ending within a term of ten years, the deadlines for the Company to inform about the extension or not of the generation concessions are shown below:
| |
Plant | Deadline for manifestation |
HPP Gov. Bento Munhoz da Rocha Neto (Foz do Areia) | 09.17.2018 |
HPP Apucaraninha | 10.12.2020 |
HPP Chaminé | 08.16.2021 |
HPP Guaricana | 08.16.2021 |
These five plants represent a Physical Guarantee of an average 620.69 MW.
The Company will make analyses in the future to decide on whether or not concessions should be extended in view of conditions imposed by the Concession Grantor, aiming at preserving its profitability levels.
In case extension is not brought forward, the Concession Grantor will open a tender bid process for concessions of the auction or competition type, considering for tender bid judgment, the lowest tariff value and the highest offer to pay grant bonus.
Copel GeT does not have any transmission concession ending in the next ten years.
36.2.7 Risk of non-renewal of concessions - distribution of electricity
On December 9, 2015, pursuant to the term of Concession Agreement amendment No. 46/1999 of Copel DIS, concession was extended, provided that quality and efficiency parameters for provision of distribution services are met, measured by indicators that consider duration and frequency of service interruptions (DECi and FECi) and efficiency in the Company’s economic and financial management.
The fifth amendment to the concession agreement imposes indexes of economic and financial efficiency and quality. Failure to comply with the indexes for two consecutive years or any limits at the end of the first five years will result in the termination of the concession (clause 18, subclause 1), observing the agreement terms, specifically the right to full defense and reconsideration. Non-compliance with the global electricity supply quality indicators (DEC and FEC) for two consecutive years or three times in five years, depending on ANEEL’s regulation, may limit the payment of dividends or interest on capital (clause 2, subclause 8), while the breach of the economic and financial sustainability indicators may require a capital contribution from the controlling shareholders (clause 13, subclause 4). From the sixth year following the signing of the agreement, the breach of quality criteria for three consecutive years or of economic and financial management criteria for two consecutive years will result in the opening of an expiration process (clause 12, subclause 14), causing the end of the concession.
82
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
The following table sets out the targets set for Copel DIS in the first five years of the renewal:

36.2.8 Risk of non-extension of the gas distribution concession
As presented in Note 2.1.1, the expiration date of the gas distribution concession of the subsidiary Compagás is under discussion with the concession grantor.
In the event of non-extension of the concession, Compagás will be entitled to compensation for investments made in the last 10 years prior to the end of the concession at their depreciated replacement value, according to the contractual clause.
36.2.9 Risk of overcontracting and undercontracting of electricity
In the current regulatory model, the agreement for purchase of electric power by distributors is regulated by Law No. 10,484/2014 and Decree No. 5,163/2004, which determine that distributors must purchase the volume required to serve 100% of their market through auctions on the Regulated Contacting Environment - ACR.
The contracting of the total output available in the market is verified by observing the period comprising the calendar year, and the difference between the costs remunerated by the tariff and those actually incurred on the power purchase are fully passed on to captive consumers as long as the Distributor presents a contracting level between 100% and 105% of its market. However, if distributors determine contracting levels lower or higher than the regulatory limits, there is the assurance of neutrality if it is identified that such violation derives from extraordinary and unforeseen events that are not manageable by the buyer.
In the last years, the distribution segment has been exposed to a general overcontracting scenario, as most companies determined contracting levels higher than 105%. Considering that several factors that have contributed to this situation are extraordinary and unavoidable by the distributors, such as the involuntary allocation of physical guarantee quotas and the broad migration of consumers to the free market, the ANEEL and the MME implemented a series of measures aiming at the migration of overcontracting. Between the years 2015 and 2017, we highlight:
• Normative Resolution No. 700/2016, which regulated the recognition of involuntary overcontracting arising from the reallocation of assured power quota of plants renewed pursuant Law 12,783/2013;
83
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
• Normative Resolutions No. 693/2015 and 727/2016, which regulated the New Energy and Decrease Clearing Facility (“Mecanismo de Compensação de Sobras e Déficits - MCSD-EN”), for the contracts arising from new generation projects, which enabled the reallocation of energy between distributors and generators;
• Normative Resolution No. 711/2016, which established criteria and conditions for bilateral agreements between distributors and generators, under the temporary, total or partial reduction in the contracted power, permanent reduction, however partial, and also the contractual restriction.
• Decree 9,143/2017 was published, which, among other measures, changes Decree 5,163/2014, recognizing: i) the involuntary contractual exposures arising from the migration of special consumers to the free market, provided that the evaluation of the maximum effort by distributors is considered by ANEEL; and ii) the contractual right to the reduction of existing power auctions, by the amounts related to the migration of special consumers to the free market. Eligible contracts are those arising from power auctions held after June 2016, pursuant to Normative Resolution No. 726/2016
Also in 2017, ANEEL initiated Public Hearing 70/2017, aiming at obtaining support for the regulation of mechanism for sale of contractual surplus, by free market distributors, pursuant to Law 13,360/2016, specifically to free consumers, sellers, generators and self-producers. The discussions will continue in 2018, but there is already an expectation that the mechanism can be used as an important tool for managing contracting by distributors.
84
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
Regarding Copel DIS contracting for 2018, the indicators pointed preliminarily to an overcontracting scenario, where mitigating actions would be required. All tools available were used to manage the contracting, seeking to meet the requirement to put forth its maximum effort to adjust its contracting level to regulatory limits. In this context, the distributor:
a) reported its surpluses, in Free Changes and New Energy MCSD, related to exceeding amounts of energy of physical guarantee quotas and not contracted by special consumers;
b) returned fully, in MCSD 4%, related to the market fluctuations of up to 4% of the contracted amounts of existing electricity;
c) returned fully, in monthly MCSD, the amounts of energy not contracted by potential free consumers; and
d) established agreements with generators for contract reduction, entering into bilateral agreements in accordance with Normative Resolution No. 711/2016;
In accordance with current market data, Copel DIS projects to end 2018 with a contracting level of 100% to 105%, without impairing the ongoing monitoring of indicators throughout the year, mainly in relation to the adoption of any mitigating actions.
36.2.10 Gas shortage risk
This risk involves potential periods of shortage of natural gas supply to meet the Company’s gas distribution and thermal generation business requirements.
Long periods of gas shortage could result in losses due to lower revenues by subsidiaries Compagas and UEG Araucária.
The natural gas supply contract between Brazil and Bolivia is effective for twenty years, ending in 2019. In the event of non-renewal of this contract, currently centralized at Petrobras, the direct consumers or state distributors shall negotiate directly with Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolívia-Brasil (TBG).
On the other hand, the volume of natural gas produced in the pre-salt has increased. The Brazilian’s current net output is 67 million m³/day and with growing trend.
In addition to the gas from Bolivia and from the pre-salt, there is the alternative of importing the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). Currently Petrobras has tree regasification stations with total capacity of 41 million m³/day.
There are still projects of new regasification stations in all Brazilian regions, and the stations located in the South have capacity to meet the consumption of this region of the country.
In the international market, the natural gas price has remained stable, indicating a balance between supply and demand.
85
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
In this scenario, the natural gas shortage risk can be considered low.
36.3 Capital management
The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base to maintain the trust of investors, creditors and market and ensure the future development of the business. Management also strives to maintain a balance between the highest possible returns with more adequate levels of loans and the advantages and the assurance afforded by a healthy capital position. Thus, it maximizes the return for all interested parties in its operations, optimizing the balance of debts and equity.
The Company monitors capital by using an index represented by adjusted consolidated net debt divided by adjusted consolidated EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), for the last twelve months. Corporate goal established in strategic planning provides for maintenance of index below 3.5 while any expectation of failing to meet this target will prompt Management to take steps to correct its course by the end of each reporting period.

All amounts expressed in thousands of Brazilian reais
1 Distribution Lines
Compact-Design Distribution Lines -Copel Distribuição S.A. has implemented compact-design distribution lines in urban areas with a high concentration of trees surrounding distribution grids. This technology reduces the number of trees cut down or trimmed, and improves the quality of power supply by reducing the number of unplanned outages. The total length of compact-design distribution lines installed at the end of March 2018 was 9,778 km (against 9,052 km in March 2017), up by 726 km year-over- year, a variation of 8.0%.
Secondary Isolated Lines –Copel Distribuição is also investing in low-voltage (127/220V) secondary isolated lines, which offer substantial advantages over regular overhead lines, including: improvement inDEC - Equivalent Time of Interruption per Consumer Unit and FEC - Equivalent Frequency of Interruption per Consumer Unit distribution performance indicators; defense against illegal connections; improved environmental conditions; reduced areas subject to tree trimming; improved safety; reduced voltage drops throughout the grid; and increased transformer useful life due to the reduction of short-circuits, among other advantages. The total length of secondary isolated lines as of the end of March 2018 was 17,603 km (against 16,507 km in March 2017), up by 1,096 year-over-year, a variation of 6.6%.

6 Economic and Financial Results
Revenues (Note 32)
Until March 2018, net operating revenues was R$3,348,681, or 1.6% up against R$3,297,011 recorded in the same period in 2017.
This variation was mainly explained by:
a) 16.3% increase in Revenues from Supply, mainly caused by the impacts of the Annual Tariff Review, which adjusted the energy tariff by 10.28%;
b) 14.7% decrease in Revenues from the Availability of the Energy, mainly caused by the decrease in sales settled in CCEE due to the lower allocation of energy in the spot market;
c) 32.6% decrease in Revenues from the Availability of the Power Grid, mainly caused by the recognition of adjustment of the final report on RBSE assets in 2017 of R$183,015, while in 2018 only the inflation adjustment of the asset was recognized;
99
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001292814-18-002369/logo03.jpg)
d) 9.5% decrease in Construction Revenue, caused by a lower investment in transmission ,lines;
e) a 23.8% increase in Revenues from Telecommunication, largely due to the increase in the number of clients, particularly in the retail market, with the Copel Fibra product; and
f) a 237.5% increase in Sectorial financial assets and liabilities result, mainly caused by the constitution of sectorial assets relating to electricity costs and the amortization of sectorial liabilities
Operating Costs and Expenses (Note 33)
Until March 2017, operating costs and expenses totaled R$2,786,599, up by 11.1% compared to R$2,507,721 recorded in the same period in 2017. The main highlights were as follows:
a) a 10.6% increase in electricity purchased for resale, especially given the variation observed in CCEE;
b) 86.1% increase in Charges from the use of the power grid, mainly due to the indemnities to the transmission companies;
c) a 27.5% increase compared to the same period in 2017 in the balance of the Personnel and Management account, mainly due to enrollments with the Incentive Termination Program (PDI) until March 2018; and
d) a 23.6% decrease in Construction Cost, mainly caused by the lower investment in transmission lines.
Financial Result (Note 34)
The increase of R$86,354 in financial result compared to the same period of 2017 is mainly due to a 25.6% increase in financial income, due to the adjustment for interest on taxes recoverable, offset by the decrease of 13.9% in financial expenses, due to lower monetary and exchange variations and interest on debts.

| | |
Consolidated | 03.31.2018 | 03.31.2017 |

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Convenience Translation into English from the Original Previously Issued in Portuguese)
REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To the Shareholders and Management of
Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL
Curitiba - PR
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL (the “Company”), included in the Interim Financial Information Form - ITR, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which comprises the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2018 and the related statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.
The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and with international standard IAS 34– Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB, as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information Form - ITR.Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively).A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards on auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion on the Interim Financial Information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the Interim Financial Information Form - ITR referred to above is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) and international standard IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information - ITR and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM.

Other Matters
Statements of added value
We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of added value (“DVA”) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, the presentation of which in the interim financial information is required by the standards issued by CVM applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information - ITR, and considered supplemental information by International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, which do not require the presentation of a DVA.These statements were subject to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they are not prepared, in all material respects, in relation to the individual and consolidated interim financial statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying interim financial information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.
