CURITIBA, Brazil, May 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Companhia Paranaense
de Energia - Copel (NYSE: ELPVY, ELP / Latibex: XCOP /
BM&FBovespa: CPLE3, CPLE5, CPLE6), a company that generates,
transmits, distributes and sells power, announced its results for
the first quarter of 2015.
Copel's net income totaled R$470.0
million in 1Q15, 19.4% lower than the R$583.1 million recorded in 1Q14, and EBITDA
reached R $ 834.9 million, down 2.8%
compared to the same period of 2014. This result reflects the
increase in costs with the purchase of energy from the auctions
(CCEARs) and Itaipu, partially offset by the upturn in revenue from
electricity sales to final customers and distributors and revenue
of R$560.9 million related to the
balance of sectorial financial assets and liabilities.
