We operate in the Free Energy market, formally called the Free Contracting Environment
(or ACL in Portuguese), in which consumers can choose their electricity supplier and freely
negotiate the power purchase and sale conditions, according to the sector's legal trading
rules and procedures. We have current and future energy agreements with more than 200
customers, in all Brazilian regions. Most of these are long-term agreements, with a duration
of over one year. Our biggest customers, in terms of volume, are in the Metallurgy, Aluminum
and Chemical segments. Through bids, we also have our power plants contracted in the
Regulated Contracting Environment (or ACR in Portuguese).
