New wind farms

In February 24, CPFL Renováveis acquired all of the quotas of “Bons Ventos Geradora de Energia S.A” and its four wind farms in operation on the coast of Ceará, with installed capacity of 157.5 MW. The company will pay R$1,062 million for the Taíba Albatroz, Canoa Quebrada, Bons Ventos and Enacel wind farms, of which R$ 600 million is for the sellers; it also will assume R$ 462 million in debt. The Taíba facility began operating in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the others started operations during the !rst quarter of 2010. The total amount of assured power of the four wind farms already has been sold for a 20-year period to Eletrobrás, through the PROINFA program (R$ 290.50/MWh using December 2011 as the base date).

“The acquisition represents an important step in the strategic growth of CPFL Renováveis and consolidates us as one of the main wind power operators in Brazil,” said Miguel Saad, president of CPFL Renováveis.

Through this new acquisition, CPFL Renováveis will own a portfolio of eight wind farms in commercial operation (all of them in the state of Ceará), totaling 367.5 MW. Another 25 farms farms are under construction, in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul (the Eólico Atlântica Complex, recently acquired from Cobra Instalaciones Y Servicios S.A.), with installed capacity of 670 MW and startup scheduled by 2014.

CPFL Renováveis acquired, on March 9, 100% of the electric power co-generation and steam assets of SPE Lacenas Partipações Ltda., a subsidiary of Usina Açucareira Ester. With this new acquisition, the company has now reached a total of eight biomass co-generation projects in its portfolio.

Usina Ester is located in Cosmópolis, in upstate São Paulo. The installed capacity totals 40 MW and the power injected is limited to 30 MW. Some 7 average MW of co-generation power from the plant already were sold through the alternative sources auction in 2007 and the remainder will be sold on the free market.

The investment in the deal totaled

R$ 111,5 million. The transaction calls for CPFL Renováveis to make further investments to increase the production and co-generation efficiencies of the plant, going from 11 average MW (2012) to 16.3 average MW (2016) in volume of exportable power. It should be noted that the transfer of shares still is conditioned to approval in advance by Aneel and the other appropriate regulatory authorities.

As a result of the new acquisition, CPFL Renováveis has reached 175 MW of power rating through four biomass plants. Under construction or another for plants totaling 195 MW of installed capacity that are scheduled to start up operations by 2013.

CPFL begins program focused on technology and operating efficiency

During the year it is commemorating the centennial of the distribution company that originated the group, CPFL Energia is emphasizing investments through an innovative program focused on technology, the management of assets, the management of performance and leadership, seeking to improve operating performance and client service quality.

The proposal of the Tauron program, in the first stage of R$ 215 million in investments through 2013, is to reduce network interruptions and time taken to resolve occurrences of power outages, the optimizing of service logistics for

field teams and the merging of the meter reading-billing-bill delivery process, generating benefits for consumers and for the company.

“The initiative incorporates the best practices of power companies from Europe, Asia and the United States, in order to deliver innovation and additional efficiencies through the CPFL Group,” said program director Heider Araújo.

The program’s most immediate action is to apply smart grid technology by installing 25,000 intelligent meters in Group A consumer units (large power consumers), seeking the automation of services, remote management, improved consumer

interface, outage m a n a g e m e n t , revenue protection and cost reductions.

For clients of CPFL Piratininga, the Tauron program will implement in March its Bill via E-mail service. By the end of the year, consumers of the CPFL Paulista, CPFL Jaguari, CPFL Leste Paulista, CPFL Mococa and CPFL Sul Paulista distribution companies will have the same service. This action will make it possible to substitute paper for electronic means of payment, reducing operating costs and contributing to the preservation of the environment.

The CPFL Group this year is commemorating the 10th anniversary of the publishing by the Ethics Committee of its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, considered a point of reference document in Brazil.

The first version of the Code, launched in 2002, was updated in 2006 in light of the recommendations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and will be revised again this year to contain contributions from employees based on meetings to be held to discuss possible changes and to add them to this important document.

CPFL’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is comprised of ethical principles and guidelines for conduct, including elements that are essential that must be present in the relations that the companies of the Group maintains with its different stakeholders: shareholders, clients, employees, suppliers, service providers, competitors, government, community and society.

Adhesion and compliance with these principles and guidelines are essential conditions for behavior in the Group’s companies. As a result, the company runs a dissemination program regarding the Code

for all employees. In November 2011, the code was implemented at CPFL Renováveis and in March of this year it will be the turn of EPASA - Centrais Elétricas da Paraíba.
