Company Profits
CPFL Energia reported a net profit of R$ 3.7 billion, an increase of 34.9% compared to the previous year. In 2020, net operating revenue was R$ 30.898 billion, a 3.2% increase. For the year, EBITDA grew 6%, reaching R$ 6.78 billion.
However, as industrial and commercial consumption fell by 5.6% and 10.1%, respectively, sales of electricity for the year dropped by 3.1%. Residential consumption, driven by social isolation, increased by 2.9%.
The CEO of CPFL Energia, Gustavo Estrella, says, “Looking at the closed year, the performance is very positive. The situation we were in during the second quarter, at the beginning of the pandemic, was one of a lot of uncertainty. We saw a recovery in the second half; it occurred in the third quarter and was even stronger in the fourth quarter.”
