PUBLIC COMPANY
Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A (“Company” or “Eletrobras”) (B3: ELET3, ELET5 & ELET6; NYSE: EBR & EBR.B; LATIBEX: XELT.O & XELT.B) hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general in addition to the Market Announcement disclosed on August 3, 2021, that the National Electric Energy Agency - ANEEL, at its 34th Ordinary Public Meeting of the Board of Directors, held on September 14, 2021, under process No. 48500.000917/2021-32, referring to the granting of extension periods for the granting of the Power Reallocation Mechanism (MRE) plants, whose values were determined pursuant to the caput of art. 2-D of Law No. 13,203/2015, in compliance with § 9, of art. 6, of ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 895/2020 – REN 895/2020, carried out the complementary ratification of the concession extension periods, which had been partially decided upon the issuance of Ratifying Resolution No. 2,919/2021 - REH 2,919/2021.
In the approval that took place today, through Ratification Resolution No. 2932/2021, not yet made available by ANEEL, the plants not included in the partial approval under the terms of REH 2919/2021, already highlighted, were included. Therefore, the plants that were approved are those that were impacted on the grant extension calculations due to the changes brought by REN 930/2021, which amended part of REN 895/2020 in order to expand the time basis for the calculation of the term of extension of the granting of the plants that renegotiated the hydrological risk, and by Law No. 14.182/2021, which extended the right provided for in REN 895/2020 also to structuring plants.
Therefore, in the list presented below, resulting from the complementary approval carried out in the Agency's resolution held today, there are 10 (ten) hydroelectric plants/complexes of the Eletrobras companies (Eletrobras Furnas, Eletrobras CGT Eletrosul and Eletrobras Eletronorte) entitled to grant extension with based on REN 895/2020, out of a total of 28 (twenty-eight) hydroelectric power plants/complexes.
