Copel and Its Strategy for the Coming Years

Copel, in turn, sees this opportunity as a way to strengthen its decarbonization process of the generation matrix, aligning with its Corporate Strategic Planning for the coming years. This measure contributes to the sustainability and sustainable growth of the company’s business, which is increasingly seeking clean and renewable energy sources.

This sale can also bring benefits to the electric sector as a whole, as the entry of new investors into UEGA may bring innovation and improvements to the plant, as well as strengthen the country’s energy security. Diversification in the electric sector is essential to ensure a sustainable and efficient energy supply.

In summary, Petrobras continues the divestment process of its stake in UEGA, a company it maintains with Copel. This sale is aligned with the decarbonization process of Copel’s generation matrix and is part of the company’s Corporate Strategic Planning. Potential buyers will receive an invitation letter with instructions on the divestment process, including guidance for conducting due diligence and submitting binding proposals. UEGA is a natural gas thermal power plant located in Araucária, Paraná, and this sale can bring benefits to both Petrobras and the electric sector as a whole.

Copel and Its Strategy for the Coming Years

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

São Paulo purchased 44 Chinese trains for R$ 3.1 billion and deployed them on the Blue, Green, and Red metro lines, accelerated the expansion of the Green Line 2, and made CRRC a central piece in the largest railway renovation in the capital in decades.

Lula government creates a subsidy of R$ 0.44 per liter of gasoline for 60 days and requires an invoice to prove the discount amid oil prices above US$ 100.

Ethanol becomes more competitive with the advancement of sugarcane and grains, but the 23% drop has not yet reached the pumps in Minas Gerais.

Scientists analyzed more than 300 kg of Antarctic ice and discovered traces of radioactive stardust left by ancient supernova explosions on Earth.

A bi-oceanic railway is expected to connect the Brazilian coast to the Chinese port of Chancay in Peru and cross the South American continent from coast to coast. It is part of the same package of R$ 140 billion in railways that the government is opening to investors later this year.

Paraguay releases a US$ 150,000 visa and triggers an alert among Brazilian investors seeking permanent residency, less bureaucracy, and an escape from the high taxes charged in Brazil.
