Company Overview

Companhia Paranaense de Energia, known as Copel, is a Brazilian energy and telecommunications company headquartered in the state of Paraná. Founded in 1954, the company operates primarily in Brazil and has historically played a central role in the development of Paraná’s electricity infrastructure.

Copel’s principal activities include the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Its generation portfolio includes hydroelectric and wind power assets, while its transmission and distribution businesses deliver electricity to customers across Paraná. The company also provides telecommunications services through its fiber-optic network, serving residential, business and other institutional customers.

Copel was historically controlled by the government of Paraná. In 2023, the state completed a share offering that ended its controlling position, and Copel became a corporation with dispersed ownership. The company continues to focus on operating and expanding its electricity and telecommunications infrastructure in Paraná and other parts of Brazil.
