As part of a global repositioning plan with disposals of around 21 billion euros (R$ 115 billion), Copel has already emerged as a potential buyer of the Ceará distribution company (formerly Coelce). Shortly after Enel put its distribution company on Ceará (formerly Coelce) for sale as part of a global repositioning plan with disposals of around 21 billion euros (R$ 115 billion), Copel has already emerged as a potential buyer of the asset.
The CEO of the company from Paraná, Daniel Slaviero, told Estadão/Broadcast that Grupo Estado's real-time news system "intends to look, yes", at the asset, adding that one of the objectives of the strategic plan presented yesterday to investors and analysts was to acquire a distributor outside Paraná.
“If they arise opportunities in this segment, we are going to look more actively”, said the executive during Copel Day 2022, in São Paulo. Previously, he had told investors that he intended to grow in this segment, but had not specified any assets.

- The end of solar panels? With the price of a cell phone, a new residential wind turbine generates 150 kWh of energy for your home, rain or shine, has a useful life of 20 years and promises to revolutionize energy generation in the world

- First 3-meter residential wind turbine, developed with artificial intelligence, is presented as a revolutionary solution to transform the future of renewable energy!
Copel is already active in the northeast, but in generation. It recently started operating the Jandaíra wind complex, in Rio Grande do Norte.
Although at first there is no direct synergy between the generation assets in the Northeast and the potential acquisition in distribution, the company believes that in the future it will be able to create a core for more investments in wind farms. “You could create another big cluster there to expand wind and solar energy,” he said.
Regarding Amazonas Energia, Slaviero denied interest: “No, it is too far away”.
Auction
Copel's CEO says he has no plans to participate in the transmission auction scheduled for November, but the company is interested in expanding in this segment.
Throughout the event, the Copel team expressed interest in obtaining an additional 2.000 kilometers of transmission lines in the future, but was concerned that the projects would be profitable.
