4 Sustainability Report 2010

Messagefrom the CEO

IGRI 1.1; 1.2

n 2010 the AES Brasil Group invested R$ 1.1 billion, 42%

more than in 2009. Our investments were channeled toward

the continuous improvements in the quality of customer

service, the maintenance of our assets and also in technology and

modernization. For 2011, we have defined an investment program

of R$ 1.2 billion.

At AES Eletropaulo – the largest electric power distributor in

Latin America –we invested in 2010, R$ 682.3 million (32.3%

more than in 2009) in preventive maintenance, automation,

expansion of the electric system capacity and in connections for

new customers. Over the course of 2010, we have taken a series

of initiatives with a view to reduce the frequency and duration

of power outages, specifically with the addition of 212 new work

teams, giving AES Eletropaulo the ability to deploy up to 2,200

professionals to serve our customers in emergency situations and

to prune the 320 thousand trees in the company’s concession

area. We closed 2010 with a 10% reduction in the frequency and

duration of power outages compared to 2009. The DEC (average

number of hours a customer is without power) was reduced by

1.18 hours, closing the year at 10.60 hours, a rate lower than the

average in the Southeastern region (11.43 hours according to the

National Electric Power Agency - Aneel). The FEC (average number

of times a customer is without power) was 5.42 times, whereas

the average for the region was 6.6 times. In 2011, AES Eletropaulo

will invest R$ 720 million, aiming for continual improvement in

the quality of customer services.

AES Sul closed 2010 with investments totaling R$ 265.2

million, an increase of 86.7% compared to 2009. These funds

have been channeled to improve the reliability of the grid, to

expand the company’s capacity to satisfy consumption demand

and to increase the safety of the system. The result was a

reduction of 14% and 15% in DEC and FEC, to 18.05 hours and

10.11 times, respectively.

In generation, AES Tietê invested about R$ 82.2 million in

maintenance, modernization and expansion of its hydroelectric

plants, 45% higher than the amount invested in 2009. In 2011,

we plan to invest R$ 158 million. With the goal of expanding

the installed power generating capacity in the State of São

Paulo, we are proceeding with the development of a natural

gas thermoelectric project - Termo São Paulo – with a capacity

equivalent to 550 MW. We have acquired the land necessary for

the project’s implementation in the municipality of Canas, The

environmental licensing process is in progress and we expect to

participate in new energy futures auctions (A-5) this very year.

In the telecommunications segment, AES Atimus, the new brand

of the companies, AES Eletropaulo Telecom and AES Com Rio,

expanded its operations in the corporate sector. We invested R$

70 million in the expansion and capillarity of our fiber optics

network, 21% above that applied in 2009. We increased our

customer base by 70% and by 2015 our investment forecast is in

the region of R$ 400 million.

The AES uruguaiana thermoelectric facility with a generating

capacity of 639.9 MW, remains deactivated – due to the lack

of gas supply from Argentina – and we continue studying

alternatives for the future of this undertaking.

In 2010, we defined our new platform of sustainability,

contemplating five strategic themes: safety, generation of

sustainable energy; efficient use of resources; innovation in

products and services; development and respect for employees,

suppliers and the community. All will have a plan of action and

established targets for the period between 2011 and 2015.

Safety – our Top Priority is one of the strategic themes. In

2010, we reduced accidents among our contracted employees

by 25% - with or without days lost - and among the

population by 9%. Among our own co-workers there was an

increase of 11% in the number of accidents – with or without

days lost – a result that shows we have room for improvement,

We invested R$ 7 million in the training and qualification of our

teams and leaders. We closed the year with 7,568 professionals,

up 29% in relation to 2009, having transferred meter reading and

bill delivery in-house at both AES Eletropaulo and AES Sul, with a

view to improve our customer service.

We have intensified our social activities in the communities,

inaugurating another Casa da Cultura e Cidadania in Rio de

Janeiro. The Project, now implemented in seven towns and cities

directly benefits more than 6.8 thousand people. In 2011, we will

open a new unit in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul within the

AES Sul concession area.

In 2010 the AES Brasil Group, posted net income of R$ 2.2

billion, 2.7% more than 2009. EBITDA (income before interest,

taxes depreciation and amortization) was R$ 4.2 billion, up

21.8%compared to the previous year.

In 2011, the third tariff review cycle will be held for AES

Eletropaulo, the methodology of which is being defined by

Aneel. We have contributed to the advancement of this

methodology, through our provision of favorable conditions to

enable the electric power distribution sector to develop with

an equilibrium that responds adequately to the necessities for

investment in view of the country’s continued economic growth

perspective, thus attaining continual improvements in the

quality of services.

In 2010, we received several acknowledgments. Here are some

of the highlights:

- AES Eletropaulo received the Íbero-americano Qualidade

Award, conferred by the Íbero-americano Quality Foundation;

won the Modern Consumer Award for Excellence in Customer

Service, from the Modern Consumer Magazine; was elected

once again the most admired company in Brazil in the category,

Supply of Electric Power by the magazine Carta Capital; and has

maintained its listing on the BM&FBovespa Index of Corporate

Sustainability (ISE).

- AES Sul won the National Quality Prize conferred by the

National Quality Foundation and the Gaúcho Quality Awards

Gold Trophy.

- AES Tietê was considered the Sixth Best Company to Invest

in, according to the 2010 Agência Estado Empresas Awards; and

maintains its listing on the BM&FBovespa Index of Corporate

Sustainability (ISE).

- AES Atimus-SP was awarded the Silver Medal at the Paulista

Quality Management Awards and was the first operator in Latin

America to receive the MEF Certificate (Metro Ethernet Fórum),

classifying its network among the highest standards of quality.

We thank our customers for the trust they place in us, our

employees for their dedication and commitment, and we thank

our suppliers, shareholders, the community, regulatory bodies,

public authorities and investors for their support.

History

AES Eletropaulo came into being from

the split up in 1997, and the privatization

in 1998, of AES Eletropaulo by the State

Government of São Paulo. On December

Ethics and Compliance GRI 4.8

The aim of the Ethics and Compliance

program is to establish the highest possible

ethical standards to AES Group decision-

making, disseminating a culture of best

practices among all the employees and

stakeholders. The activities of the AES

Brasil companies are infused with the

Guia de Valores, (Values Guide) known as

“The AES Values – From Words to Action”,

a document based on the AES Corp.

guidelines which sustains the company’s

corporate governance practices.

As a signatory to the united Nations

Global Compact, which holds among its

principles the fight against corruption, AES

Eletropaulo is committed to do business

with companies and people who adopt

high ethical standards. For this reason

the company needs to know its business

partners through investigations aimed at

identifying their image and reputation as

well as compliance with current national

and international anticorruption legislation.

In 2010, World Ethics Day was promoted

in all the Group companies, under the

concept Ética: quando falta faz falta

(Ethics: when it’s missing you miss it) The

initiative sought to stimulate reflection

on the topic by means of talks, as well

as a message from the AES Brasil CEO,

Britaldo Soares.

Another highlight was the consolidation

of the Ethics Committee, which brings

together top management on a monthly

Commitments GRI 4.12

AES Eletropaulo is signatory to the Corporate Compact for

Integrity and Anti-Corruption, a joint initiative with the Instituto

Ethos, uniethos, Patri, the united Nations Development Program

(uNDP), the united Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

(uNODC) and the Brazilian Global Compact Committee.

The company is also a member of the National Quality

Foundation Ethics Committee (FNQ), whose purpose is to

contribute, together with other organizations in the joint

development of best practices and in the production of material

to assist other companies who wish to make their practices

transparent and trustworthy.

The FNQ bank of best practices includes four initiatives in

the AES Brasil Group ethics and compliance area: the Values

Guide, ethics and compliance training structure, AES Helpline

and the compliance revision process. The Group is considered

a benchmark for including initiatives that go beyond Brazilian

market practices.

basis to discuss the results of the more

sensitive denouncement investigations,

among other activities.

Training was offered to the employees

(in person or via intranet) with a view

to reinforcing company Values and the

responsibility of each and every one to

encourage and practice these Values.

Some of the policies contained in the

Values Guide were expanded on, gaining a

broader discourse.

All the ethics and compliance initiatives

are based on four pillars:

1. Values Guide – from Words to Action

2. Helpline

3. Training and Education

4. Contractual Compliance Review

Helpline GRI 4.4; SO4

The Helpline is a communication

channel directed at employees and other

stakeholders to clear up doubts, conflicts

and ethical dilemmas as well as denouncing

anti-ethical behavior and illegal or corrupt

business practices. The channel can be

accessed by telephone (toll-free) or by

Internet with service available 24/7.

Queries, suggestions and denouncements

- made anonymously – are treated with

confidentiality, and secrecy is guaranteed

by an outsourced company located in the

uSA, thus ensuring fairness, transparency

and trustworthiness with regard to the

process under inquiry.

All denouncements are analyzed and

investigated by the AES Brasil Ethics

Compliance area, and the most sensitive

cases are taken before the Ethics

Committee. AES Corp. oversees the results

of the investigations and may reopen the

cases if deemed necessary.

In 2010, the Group received a total of

419 calls of which 105 were related to

clarifications and 314 to allegations that

could infringe on the company Values.

Compared to 2009, there was an increase

of 25% in calls, a result of the wide-

reaching efforts of divulgation and training

carried out by the area.

At AES Eletropaulo, of the 324 calls

received, 244 referred to allegations and

80 were requests for guidance. Of the

allegations, 84% referred to behavioral

or policy matters, 9% corresponded to

topics related to business interaction,

5% to workplace safety and 2% to

company property and assets. Of the

requests for guidance, 40% were general

concerns, 30% conflict of interests, 20%

invitations from suppliers and 10% gift

and entertainment policy.

As a Signatory of the uN Global Compact, AES Eletropaulo holds the principle of only dealing with companies that adopt the highest ethical standards

Training and education 4.6; LA10; SO3

In 2010, the AES Brasil companies carried

out six training initiatives prepared by the

ethics and compliance area. As well as

specific initiatives that involve not only

employees in all group levels, but also

suppliers. These are:

ethics Disseminators: developed

process, based on the highest ethical

standards. In 2010, 3,599 employees were

trained at AES Eletropaulo.

satisfaction and whether this is related to

the service attributes.

internal) and risks: qualify the corporate

risks of the business and set up scenarios

from the non-controllable drivers.

pillars of the strategy: define the

elements that will enable the attainment

of the outlined strategy.

analysis of alternatives: verifies the

outcome of each strategic pillar and tries

to visualize the new reality if each pillar

was improved.

high impact projects: actions that,

if executed successfully, fill in the gaps

between the current situation and the

desired situation.

Strategy summary: complements

the Mission and Vision to effectively

communicate the strategy to the

organization.

Business levers

The strategy of each of AES Brasil’s different businesses is aligned with the Group’s general planning cycle. Strategic plans are drawn up annually with perspectives for the next five years. The planning cycle is annual and is structured in six steps, which are in turn

organized in two junctures (figure below): strategy formulation (steps 1 and 2) and strategy execution (steps 3 to 6). The process includes periodic evaluation of the performance and operational plan (steps 4 and 5), which defines the necessity for five-yearly adjustments.

In 2010, multidisciplinary working

groups were installed to assess risks and

opportunities of the Group’s different

businesses. Based on this analysis, the main

strategies of each business were validated

and the implementations carried out.

The deployment occurs at the

implementation of the strategies within

the short term, by means of a strategic

map, which is guided by the organizational

Mission, Vision and Values and contains the

objectives, targets, plans of action together

with the respective operational budgets

(Opex) and investment (Capex).

Learning Map

Adopted by AES Eletropaulo in 2008, the

concept of the Learning Map is aimed at

encouraging dialog and building a shared

understanding of strategy and how,

individually all employees contribute with

their respective efforts and achievements.

Thereupon, it became possible to maximize

communication and the understanding

of the strategy with the employees, in

line with the concepts of the Balanced

Scorecard. The solution consists of the

application of a clear methodology, which

translates the strategy into a common

language to all employees, from the

leadership to the workforce which interacts

with the customers.

Formalized Commitment

To involve employees in the company’s strategy is key to

ensuring everybody’s commitment and dedication. In this

way, as well as disseminating strategy through training

sessions, talks and staff meetings, AES Eletropaulo uses the

management agreement: a document signed by the company

and the employees which formalizes the commitments, and

links, together with the administration of performance, targets

for variable remuneration thus providing a high performance

workplace.

This project is currently being applied from executive positions

upwards. The forecast is that it will soon reach all the other

positions in the group.

Dialog with the Stakeholders GRI 4.14; 4.15; 4.16; 4.17

In order to establish an engagement

process with its stakeholders and improve

the sustainability process reporting, in

September 2010, AES Brasil held its II Cycle

of Dialog with its stakeholders. Present were

representatives from employees, residential

and corporate customers, public authorities

and society, totaling 130 people.

Mediated by the company with the

help of the the specialized consultancy

Lume, the participants analyzed the 2009,

sustainability report, expressing opinions

and proposing improvements for the

next editions. Among the main topics

covering this publication, the following

stand out: integration of the company’s

social responsibility projects; description of

the main challenges and impacts; putting

information in the correct context and the

inclusion of targets.

The event also proposes to align

and deepen knowledge of AES Brasil’s

sustainability, define material themes,

specifically the ones with the most relevance

to the business or the stakeholders – and

present opportunities for management

improvements within these themes.

Intangible Assets

In order to keep the non-accountable

intangible assets aligned with corporate

strategy, AES Eletropaulo has as its disposal

a series of mechanisms that permit the

renovation of knowledge, attraction and

retention of personnel and development

of communities, as well as product and

process innovation.

Non-accountable intangible assets are

identified and evaluated according to

the market (new services, demand and

integrated solutions), technological (new

equipment and business process) and

administrative trends (management model

and human resources demand). Based on

this analysis, intangible assets are classified

as follows:

• human: skill, experience and knowledge.

The development and retention of talented

people are decisive to the company’s growth.

AES Eletropaulo has plans and programs that

aim at providing employees with tools for

their professional development.

• Market: brand, customers and

relationships. The company’s reputation and

perception by customers are at the core of

work developed since 2009, involving the

repositioning of AES Brasil brand.

• Infrastructure: diverse systems and

customer database. Investments in

systems and tools aiming at improving

services are made on annual basis.

• technology: research and development,

processes and products, investments in

R&D projects and modernization of the

distribution grid and products on offer are

made on annual basis.

n 2010, the re-structuring of the

safety team and the implementation

of new standard programs at AES

Eletropaulo reduced the total number

of accidents among employees and

outsourced workers by 13%

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo reduced by 13%

the number of accidents involving employees

and outsourced workers, registering 150

cases, compared to 173 in 2009. Besides

the statistical reduction it was noted that

gravity of the accidents was in general lower

than the previous year, albeit with one

company employee fatality in 2010. Such

data demonstrate that the safety strategy is

consolidated and is following the tendency

of continual improvement. The target for

2011 is to reduce the rate of accidents

by 10% among company employees and

outsourced workers.

This development is owed mainly to

the restructuring of the safety team and

the implementation of the AES Corp.

safety standards, from the qualification

of leaders, weekly safety training courses

and new procedures. The Occupational

Safety Management is charged with

dissemination knowledge on procedures

and rules and to offer all the technical

support and infrastructure. At the end of

2010, the 28th “Leader in Action” class

was held – with team leaders, in order

to exchange information on the results

obtained and their causes, sector trends

and proactive and reactive initiatives.

The safety strategy also includes

the search for references, tools and

technologies considered as safety

benchmarks in other sectors. An example

is the Task Card idea, inspired by an

obligatory practice in aviation, which

consists of a list of diverse safety items

that need to be observed before a task is

begun. All linemen carry out a check list.

There has also been growth in the number

of team inspections in the field, which

started at 1,200 per month in 2009 to

3,200 per month in 2010.

The organization also maintains two

formal safety committees: The AES Brasil

Committee on Occupational Safety and the

AES Eletropaulo Regional Committee, which

represent 100% of the employees’ interests.

Pro-active company

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo received the

results of the SMS (Safety Management

Systems) audit, carried out by the AES

Corp. team. The SMS measures the level

of adherence to the Safety Management

System, in which, on a scale of 0 to 100,

the company scored 68.95%. This means

that the company has a “pro-active”

system of safety, capable of applying

risk-prevention actions with efficiency.

A positive result but still leaves room for

improvement. The next step is to reach the

level of “safety promoter” which means,

more than a set of norms and procedures,

safety becomes a lifestyle.

Safety policy

Created in 2009, The Occupational

Health and Safety Management System

(SGSSO) is the tool that guides AES

Eletropaulo in the evaluation and

identification of risk situations and the

improvement of health and safety in

the workplace. It consists of a set of

procedures that guide and coordinate

the health and safety actions of the

employees, with the aim of identifying,

controlling and reducing situations that

could cause accidents. Its guidelines are

periodically updated to keep them aligned

with operational activities and conditions.

At AES Eletropaulo, the SGSSO

requisites are based on the OHSAS

18001 (Occupational Health and Safety

Assessment Series) and the AES Corp.

standards, both of which offer guidelines

for the implementation of a management

system which establishes and maintains

a methodology to identify, evaluate and

deal with risks. The commitments made by

the company in the Integrated Policy on

the Environment and Occupational Health

and Safety were also determinant. AES

Eletropaulo’s target is to certificate all the

company sectors with the OHSAS 18001,

by 2012.

*���The OHSAS 18001 is a Management System focused on occupational health and safety that allows the company to systematically control and improve the performance of its requirements.

in 2010: the game of safety. It is a

creative and pioneering tool which

uses the virtual environment in an

explicit way to provide the lineman

with an opportunity to test his own

knowledge on the importance of good

planning and to comply with the rules

and procedures in order to ensure

Public safety GRI Eu24; Eu25

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo changed the

method of communication with the public,

seeking to reduce the number of accidents

and fatalities in its concession area.

In common with other energy sector

companies, AES Eletropaulo faces a major

social problem regarding accidents on

the power grid, inasmuch as most of

these accidents are the result of irregular

building work in low income communities,

which do not respect the safety zone of

the power grid.

To direct the publicity campaigns

with more appropriate messages to

this segment of the population, AES

Eletropaulo commissioned an ethnographic

survey with the purpose of identifying

habits, lifestyle and the relationship of this

segment of society with the electricity

network, evaluating their awareness of the

risks and verifying the effectiveness of the

publicity campaign.

Based on these results, the company

changed the focus of the mass media

safety campaigns, adopting a more

direct strategy with a stronger emotional

emphasis, showing the consequences of an

accident on the power grid.

As well as utilizing mass media

(especially TV, radio, and mass transit)

which reaches 16.5 million people,

the company offers talks in schools,

neighborhood associations, companies and

churches. In 2010, around 330 thousand

people participated in the talks.

Considering that the majority of accidents

are related to construction work (do-it-

yourself house building), in low-income

communities, AES Eletropaulo launched

Operation Zero Accidents, a safety blitz

consisting of site visits to disseminate

information on the risks of electric energy

and on safe procedures and the right

attitude when working close to power lines.

This initiative reached over 6.2 thousand

people and was renewed in January 2011.

Between 2007 and 2010, the number of

accidents among the population fell by

53%. In 2010 there were 23 fatalities. The

company’s target for 2011 is to reduce the

number of fatalities among the population

by 30%.

Other initiatives

Throughout the year, AES Eletropaulo

has maintained campaigns in the most

diverse media outlets, both traditional and

alternative, focusing on the safe use of

electricity. The following are some of the

main initiatives:

Two other stand-out social projects which

focus on awareness-raising on the safe use

of electric energy are AES Eletropaulo in

the Community and AES Eletropaulo in the

schools. Read more on page 90.

In 2010, gross operating revenue was

R$ 14.7 billion, up 10.4% on the figure

for the same period in 2009, due to

an adjustment in the tariffs - made

annually in July – and to a 2.9% captive

Operating expenses grew 4.9% over

2009, which contributed towards the

strong 35.9% growth of in cash flow

Adoption of IFRS

AES Eletropaulo’s 2010 financial

statements have been drawn up using the

International Financial Reporting Standards

(IFRS) established by the International

Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Among the resulting effects of applying

IFRS on taxable income, we highlight:

• Fair value was adopted as the initial fixed

assets measurement, which increased the

company’s depreciation costs. These are

now based on the economic life of the

assets instead of on their fiscal useful life;

• Amortization of intangible assets

representing the company’s right to

charge consumers for use of infrastructure,

improvement and expansions made in its

concession area up to 2028;

• Obligations and rights arising from

benefit plans (AES Corp. stock options)

extended to executive officers are being

recognized in shareholders’ equity.

Publication of financial statements

according to International Financial

Reporting Standards (IFRS) became

compulsory as of December 31, 2010.

Operating revenues

The 10.4% increase in gross revenues to

R$ 14.7 billion in 2010 is due to a year-

over-year 2.9% growth in the captive

market, the annual tariff adjustment made

in the month of July and an accretion of

R$ 177.5 million due to the recognition

of building revenues as established in

IFRS. These revenues are related to works

executed to meet customer demands

and have a counter entry to costs, which

means that they had no effect on the

company’s profit.

Operating revenue deductions rose by

10.4% in relation to 2009, to a total R$

5.0 billion. The rise is due to an increase in

charges resulting from the year-over year

stepping up of energy supply revenues,

as well as charges related to the Fuel

Consumption Account (CCC) and Energy

Development Account (CDE).

As a result of these changes, AES

Eletropaulo’s net operating revenues

amounted to R$ 9.7 billion in 2010, higher

by R$ 911.5 million than in 2009.

Operating Costs and Expenses

In 2010, operating expenses amounted

to R$ 6.7 billion, 4.9% or R$ 314.2 million

over the figure reported in 2009.

operating Costs: the cost of purchased

energy rose by 5.0% in 2010, due to a

greater volume and higher average price of

purchased energy. In 2010, disbursement

made to pay for the use of the power and

transmission grid was higher by 16.3%

over the level in 2009, particularly due to

increased System Service Charges (ESS).

personnel: personnel costs and expenses

fell by 7.5% as a result of a reduction in

payments into the private pension plan

and for labor settlements and awards.

This reduction more than made up for the

added personnel expenses and charges,

due mainly to the annual collective

bargaining agreement, the hiring of the

previously outsourced 1,200 bill deliverers

and meter readers, and the ending of

central management cost sharing and

of the recognition of post-terminations

medical health plans.

other operating expenses: this set of

expenses dropped by 34.9% to R$ 165.4

million in 2010, down R$ 88.7 million in

relation to 2009. The main highlight is the

reverse entry of R$ 86.9 million related to

the document signed with Fundação CESP,

recognizing the latter’s sole legal liability

for paying supplementary pension and

retirement benefits resulting from claims.

Other Revenues and Expenses

In 2010, other revenues and expenses

netted a total R$ 539.4 million in expenses,

as against a net expense of R$ 579.6 million

in 2009. The following four factors explain

the R$ 40.2 million decrease:

• the nonrecurring positive effect of

the settlement related to the transfer of

to Companhia Brasiliana for a total R$

265.4 million in June 2010;

• the nonrecurring negative effect

caused by the sales of assets prompted by

agreements made with SPTrans and EMTu

in 2010, totaling R$ 41.0 million;

• increased expenses related to execution

of works of R$ 177.5 million, which are

now posted to other operating expenses,

according to IFRS and CPC 17. This total

is offset by other receipts of equivalent

value; and

• an assets write-off of R$ 31.1 million

after the closing of the physical assets

inventory in 2010.

EBITDA – (acronym for income

before interest, taxes, depreciation and

amortization).

EBITDA in 2010 amounted to R$ 2.4 billion,

up 35.9% over the 2009 figure. The main

contributing factors to this increase were

market growth, increased tariffs, the positive

effect of the R$ 265.4 million financial

settlement of AES Eletropaulo Telecom

quotas and the reverse entry related to

additional retirement payment claims.

Financial Result

In 2010, the company posted R$ 103.0

million in financial income, down R$ 270.4

million on the figure recorded in 2009.

The main reasons for this change were:

the effect of the company’s adhesion to

the REFIS program (Federal Taxes Term

Payment Program) in 2009, which caused

a R$ 275.3 million impact to financial

income, partially offset by a total income

of R$ 106.3 million in 2010, resulting from

the end of discussions on the agreement

entered into with Banco Santos.

Net Income

In 2010, the company registered a net

income of R$ 1.3 billion, which represents

an increase of R$ 191.2 million. This

performance is mainly explained by the

positive effects of the R$ 175.1 million

settlement of the AES Eletropaulo Telecom

quotas and of the agreement made with

Banco Santos’ bankruptcy estate. The

adoption of IFRS accounted for the R$

161.5 million increase in net profit in 2010

and R$ 93.3 million in that of 2009.

Shareholder Remuneration

AES Eletropaulo’s management proposed

to pay out the full legally established 25%

dividend payment (R$ 1.5 billion) in 2010

by way of dividend payments and interest

on net equity, corresponding to 114.4% of

the year’s net profit. This distribution was

approved by the Ordinary General Meeting

(AGO) held on April 29, 2011, which also:

• Ratified intermediary dividend payments

related to the first half of 2010, which were

paid on September 15 and December 7,

2010, totaling R$ 625.5 million

• Ratified payment of interest on net

equity, as resolved at the Board of Directors’

meeting held on December 2, 2010

AES Eletropaulo’s net profit in 2010 was R$ 1.3 billion, surpassing the 2009 result by R$ 191.2 million

• Approved the proposal on supplementary

dividend payments related to the net profit

posted in the second half of 2010

The company’s 2010 dividend payment

base was increased by R$ 322.6 million as

a result of the adoption of IFRS.

In 2010, total dividends proposed by

the company’s management came to R$

1,469.1 million and interest on net equity,

to R$ 72.8 million. Together this means R$

8.69 for every common share and R$ 9.56

for every preferred share.

Total Debt

In compliance with Law No. 11,638,

the Company included leasing and rental

contracts in the total debt balance under the

heading Leasing. These agreements stepped

up the debt balance by R$ 16.3 million in

2009 and R$ 15.4 million in 2010. However,

for assessment purposes, these figures were

not considered in the total debt.

The company’s gross debt at the end of

2010 amounted to R$ 4.1 billion, up 4.5%

on the level reported in December 31,

2009 (R$ 3,940.2 million). The R$176.0

million rise in gross debt was due to two

debenture issues in April and May 2010,

in the sum of R$ 800 million, with these

issues being designed to amortize Real-

denominated bonds worth R$ 474 million

and to finance part of the company’s

investments in that year.

At the closing of 2010, cash equivalents

totaled R$ 1.7 billion, higher by R$ 415.2

million than in the same period of 2009, due

mainly to the aforementioned debenture

issues and the settlement of the sale of AES

EP Telecom in the second quarter of 2010

for R$ 265.4 million. Net debt was R$ 2.4

billion at December 31, 2010, down 8.9% on

the prior end-of-year figure (R$ 2.7 billion).

The growth in cash equivalents more than

compensated for the increase in gross debt.

The average cost of AES Eletropaulo’s

total debt dropped from CDI + 1.35% p.a.

at December 31, 2009 to CDI + 1.10% p.a.

at year’s end in 2010. This drop is due to

the settlement of Real-denominated bonds

on June 28, 2010, totaling R$ 474 million

at the cost of 19.13% p.a., which was

partially offset by a higher IGP-DI reported

in the period (-0.26% on December 31,

2009 and 0.69% on December 31, 2010).

The debt owed to Fundação CESP is

adjusted for inflation based on the IGP-DI

(General Price Index-Domestic Availability).

The average debt maturity period was

extended from 7 years on December 31,

2009 to 7.2 years on December 31, 2010.

Investments

AES Eletropaulo invested a total R$ 682.3

million in 2010, 32.3% more than the

amount invested the year before. The sum

of R$ 28.1 million out of the year’s total

investments referred to projects financed

by consumers and R$ 654.1 million were

for projects financed by the company itself.

In 2011, the company estimates that it will

be investing R$ 739.7 million, R$ 35.9 million

of which will be funded by customers.

o be one of the companies

with the best consumer service

indicators: it was with this

target in mind that AES Eletropaulo

invested R$ 682.3 million (of which R$

28.1 million was in resources financed by

customers) in 2010, the largest amount

since the company was privatized in

1998. The goal is to provide greater

reliability to electric energy supply in

the growing market of metropolitan São

Paulo, reduce the number of outages,

recover losses and achieve better

technical-operational indicators.

The investments were applied in

preventive and corrective maintenance,

and technological improvements – such

as replacing batteries in 40 substations,

installing cameras for remote monitoring

of company facilities and the replacement

of metallic cabling with digital radio,

increasing the reliability of supervision

systems and system control. Investments

were also allocated to expansion and

increasing energy distribution capacity to

serve the growing market demand.

New connections amounting to 179

thousand units, together with increased

consumption due to the resumption of

economic growth, resulted in growth to

the system’s maximum demand. Requests

for increased carrying capacity and new

customer connections accounted for

R$132 million of the investment in 2010.

Recovery of the indicators

The DEC (System Average Interruption

Duration Index – SAIDI) operating

indicator, relating to the average number

of hours each customer is without

power during a given period, and the FEC

(System Average Interruption Frequency

Index – SAIFI) indicator, relating to the

number of times a customer is without

power over a given period, suffered at the

end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010

due to the abnormal rainfall during the

period. AES Eletropaulo invested R$ 50

million in recovering these energy supply

quality indicators.

One of the central points in this plan was

to increase tree-pruning operations, aimed

at reducing the number of power outages

resulting from tree trunks and branches

falling on the power lines. In total, 320

thousand trees were pruned in 2010

almost double the amount in 2009.

Despite investments and improvements in

the indicators compared to 2009, the DEC

indicator did not reach the target stipulated

for the year by the regulatory agency.

Electric system assets

In order to provide customers with

quality and safety, AES Eletropaulo has a

distribution and sub-transmission network

totaling 43,735 kilometers of overhead

and underground lines, around 1,530

circuits and 1.1 million poles installed.

Since 1998, over R$4.8 billion has been

invested in network modernization,

expansion and maintenance, R$682.3

million in 2010 alone.

To maintain the reliability of the

distribution system and the quality of the

electric energy supply, AES Eletropaulo

continuously monitors its concession area

with 140 operators in its operating centers.

They track the lineman’s work in the field in

real time, especially during rain, storms and

other events that could cause power outages.

Speed in service is also ensured with

service personnel using motorbikes, able

to travel more easily through traffic,

making sure the site is safe and gathering

information for the operations center to

guide its teams in the field.

This year, the company also replaced

its remote terminal facilities at 20% of

its substations, increasing the quality

and quantity of information sent to AES

Eletropaulo Distribution Operations Center

(COD).

Expansion and improvement in sub-

transmission GRI EC8

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo invested in

a series of programs to maintain and

expand its sub-transmission systems,

aimed at increasing reliability in the

company’s energy distribution. R$ 217

million was invested in work expanding

the electric grid, resulting in the expansion

of nine substations and increased installed

capacity in the system to 13,361 MVA, an

increase of 2% over 2009.

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo installed a

complex underground transmission

line, the LTS Anhanguera (exit of the

Anhanguera terminal and connection to

the Anhanguera Transition Station (ETR)

Anhanguera). To mitigate environmental

impact, a structure of underground

cables was developed, passing beneath

the Anhanguera and Bandeirantes

highways, with a transmission load of

300 MVA and extending for 4.5 km, the

only one with this length in Brazil.

Communication between substations

To enhance communications with

substations and improve repair,

maintenance and inspection processes,

AES Eletropaulo is replacing its current

metallic network communication data

transmission technology with modern

systems that include 11 AES Atimus

links, which complement the fiber

optic and digital radio systems, thus,

increasing communication availability,

which will cover 99% of the system in

2011, the year in which the program is

expected to be completed.

More stable and with a wider

bandwidth, the new installations

enable broadband data traffic,

images via digital security cameras

(CFTV) and VoIP, expanding remote

monitoring and intervention in the

facilities.

Environmental improvements

During the year, the company also

continued with its plan to upgrade

substations, installing 10 oil-collection

sumps to mitigate potential environmental

and fire-risk problems.

An inspection is in progress to check

the generation and effect of noise in

150 substations. At the end of 2010, 46

substations had been inspected. In 2011,

locations requiring the construction of

sound insulation walls to minimize noise

impact will be mapped.

R$ 217 million was invested in the expansion of power grid and in the increase of installed capacity to 13,361 MVA

Operation Summer

Since most of the AES Eletropaulo electric

system is above ground, the network

is greatly impacted by meteorological

phenomena such as storms, high winds,

atmospheric discharges and sudden

changes in temperature. During summer,

the season with the highest rainfall, there

is a considerable increase in the number

of occurrences, which can reach one

thousand in a single day.

The company puts its Operation Summer

into action during this period, covering

the last two months of the year and the

first three months of the following year. In

this period the number of distribution and

sub-transmission linemen is increased by

40%, 48 service personnel on motorbikes

operate in the streets and staff at call-

centers are increased by up to 40%, mainly

for emergencies.

One of the biggest challenges in

continuous supply at this time of year

is broken branches falling on the power

lines. To minimize this, AES Eletropaulo

expanded its tree-pruning program. Based

on compliance with current environmental

legislation, the program is approved by

are programmed to be pruned.

For the summer of 2011, the company

contracted 212 teams for emergency

work. It also expanded the use of teams

for this work: on normal summer days, up

to 536 teams are deployed to attend to

power outage complaints. On critical days,

the company can use up to 757 teams to

reduce outage times.

PLM Project

The planned implementation of the

Product Lifecycle Management program

(PLM) was postponed until the fall of 2011,

as the program’s structure had to be re-

formulated to comply with the standards

set by the new Electric Sector Assets

Control Manual (MCPSE).

The PLM’s goal is to innovate, integrate

and undertake the management of assets

in technical-operating processes aimed at

the expansion and maintenance of electric

system assets. It aims to reformulate

technical-operating processes, replacing

the various systems and current tools with

solutions allowing asset management in

a synchronized manner, integrated with

other existing corporate systems, such as

the ERP (Integrated Business Management

System) and the GIS (Geo-referenced

Information System).

By the end of 2010, R$11.5 million had

been invested.

Geo-referenced Information Systems

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo expanded the functions of its

Geo-referenced Information System (GIS). Aiming to improve

the management of its assets, the company concluded a

certification quality project of the registry begun in 2009,

based on a field survey of all electric assets in its database,

in compliance with a decision by the Brazilian electric energy

agency, Aneel. With this information, the company database

will be continuously updated, speeding up processes such as

identification of the customer’s supply area and even which

power outlet is being used.

The GIS also supplies auxiliary information for operational

analysis, feasibility studies for new operations, new sources and

new customer connection studies, and studies on environmental

impacts resulting from the construction or reconstruction of

new distribution lines.

*� Georeferencing is a type of image cataloging or a map of a specific system of reference based on its coordinates or control points, location that offer identifiable physical characteristics, such as highway, crossroads, rivers, lakes, airport runaways, prominent structures, mountain peaks, among others. Such coordinates can be obtained in the field or by means of image digitalization or maps already digitalized.

For the summer of 2011, 212 teams were contracted to deal with any eventual power outages.

In 2010, the total market consumption in

the AES concession area, which includes

the consumption of both captive* and

non-captive customers, totaled 43,345

GWh, an increase of 5% over 2009 (41,269

GWh). For the captive market, 35,434 GWh

were distributed, up 2.9%. In the residential

and for the commercial categories, growth

was 3.5% and 3.1% respectively, while

industrial customers accounted for an

increase of 1.7%.

In 2010, 7,911 GWh was distributed to

free customers*, an increase of 15.8%

in comparison to the previous year. AES

Eletropaulo, being an energy distribution

company, does not sell energy in GWh on

the free market but only charges for the

use of the lines (TuSD - Tariff for the use

of the Electric Distribution System)

Compared to 2009, the performance of

the entire AES Eletropaulo market was

less that that presented by the domestic

market (Brazil) and by the Southeastern

region, due mainly to the share of each

consumer class

As in the other regions of the country,

the consumption of electric energy by

the industrial class negatively impacted

the AES Eletropaulo market in 2009.

The industrial class for most distributers

represents about 45% of the total market,

so any variation in this class would have

a greater impact on the national market

compared to the AES Eletropaulo market,

with an industrial class participation of

only 27%. This is why the distributors

*�Captive customer: a consumer who acquires electric energy from a concessionary utility or licenale whose network is connected in accordance with regulated tariffs

* Free customer: a consumer who chooses an electric

energy supplier (generator or trader) through free

bargaining according paragraph 5 art 26 of

Law nº 9.427, of 26/12/1996

whose share of industrial customers is

higher than that of AES Eletropaulo had

their consumption reduced even more in

2009 (the period when the industrial class

was negatively impacted by the global

financial crisis) and, as a consequence were

the ones with the greater growth in 2010

with the recovery of the economy.

Purchase of energy

AES Eletropaulo buys electric energy to

serve its captive consumers in accordance

with the Brazilian electric sector model

instituted in 2004, which only allows the

purchase of energy through energy on

the regulated market, auctions organized

by the government and the Câmara de

Comercialização de Energia Elétrica –

CCEE (Electric Power Commercialization

Chamber), authorized by Aneel.

Transforming consumers into customers GRI SO1

Since 2004, AES Eletropaulo has operated the Transformation of

Consumers into Customers program, which aims to improve the

conditions of power supply in low-income communities through

the regularization of electric connections and the donation of

more efficient appliances.

up until 2010, the company had regularized 411,039 connections,

benefiting 1.64 million people in 991 of the 2.2 thousand low-

income communities in its concession area. A further 80 thousand

connections are expected to be regularized by 2012.

In addition to this initiative, which functions as a tool for social

inclusion, the program has already substituted 18,226 refrigerators

in a poor state of conservation for refrigerators with the Procel seal,

880,000 incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent ones and

installed 3,101 lighting points in alleys. Residences also benefited

from 1,709 internal electrical renovations, with the installation of

new switches, sockets, circuit breakers, fuse boxes and shower heads.

In 2010 alone, 55,473 connections were regularized, benefiting

221,892 people. The average investment per customer was

R$327.55 and involved the construction and renovation of the

distribution network.

Losses

Losses in the distribution network

represent the difference between the

energy required in the year (49,185

GWh) and the energy effectively sold

to customers in the same period. These

losses are calculated based on the “Criteria

of Physical Losses”, not taking into account

energy billed in terms of fraud recovery.

Based on this methodology, the losses

in 2010 were 10.92% (5,373.5 GWh),

divided into technical (6.49%) and

commercial losses (4.43%). Technical

losses refer to losses in the distribution

system, and commercial losses, which

are caused mainly by improper actions

by consumers on the distribution grid,

and equipment failure. The failures

are caused by: end of useful life, which

provokes errors in calibration; external

factors; such as atmospheric discharges

and flooding; the application of a

higher load than that informed by the

customer at the time of connection;

modification of the equipment by

the customer and, to a lesser degree,

fabrication defects of the equipment.

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo carried out

286,500 inspections in the fight against

fraud and anomalies, from which 40,800

irregularities were found in the metering.

Also regularized were 55,500 informal

connections (read more on page 53).

Consumption in Brazil

Consumption of electricity in

Brazil totaled 419,016 GWh in 2010,

representing an increase of 7.8% over

2009, according to figures released by

energy research company EPE.

Industrial consumption grew 10.6% over

the previous year, growth that was more

accentuated in the country’s Southeastern

region, which posted an increase of 12.1%.

In São Paulo, industrial consumption in

the state was up 7.6% compared to the

previous year.

Residential consumption grew by 6.3%

over 2009. The result reflects the increase

in the number of consumers and also

in average consumption per residence.

In 2010, 2.06 million consumer units

were incorporated into the electric grid,

a monthly average of 172 thousand

connections.

Commercial consumption posted growth

of 5.9% over the previous year. This was

due to increased income and greater

credit availability offered to stimulate

commerce and the services sector,

especially in the North and Northeast.

ES Eletropaulo’s challenge

in 2010 was to continue

integrating and developing

the AES Brasil Group culture among all

the employees. The focus is to make the

employee feel fulfilled in his work and

aware that this work brings benefits to the

population at large.

In the vision of the AES Brasil Group, a

good working environment is that which

encourages mutual respect and team

work and has a diversity of experience and

opinions. In this manner, the employee

develops together with other people,

integrating cultures, sharing knowledge

and working creatively.

The values of AES are multiplied by

means of management instruments such

as the Siga Livre (Moving Forward) –

Professional Growth Program, promoting

organization of the positions and careers

plan, and Performance Administration,

involving leadership and the employees

themselves in the analysis of the

performance of subordinates and peers.

With the use of both, the enhancement

of the employee’s profile has become more

evident. Those employees who attain the

expectations of alignment and commitment

with the common goal of the company –

expressed in the management contracts,

individual targets and collective targets

– are rewarded. Those employees whose

performance does not match expectations

assume a formal recovery commitment

with a development plan, clearly and

transparently setting out which points

need to be developed by the employee.

This evaluation is even used with executive

positions.

The company’s Strategic Map is

disseminated among all employees

through the Energy that Transforms

program – learning map, which encourages

dialog and the understanding of the

company’s main strategic points..

For AES Brasil, a good working environment is that which encourages mutual respect, team work and has a diversityof experience and opinions.

Internalization of meter readers

Since August the AES Eletropaulo

workforce has gained a further

1,084 employees: meter readers and

electricity bill delivery personnel

who were previously outsourced and

who have been contracted with the

aim of providing a higher quality bill

delivery service.

The advantage of this internalization

process is having employees working

in closer synergy with AES Brasil

Values and with an even higher level

of commitment.

In addition to improving the processes

of meter reading and bill delivery,

the internalization allowed the

training of all employees in using new

technology, such as photographic

registry for reducing errors in reading

and other impediments; transmission

of data collected from the reading via

Bluetooth and radio-frequency; use of

GPS for setting reading routes.

To further improve the quality of the bill delivery service, AES Eletropaulo has hired 1,084 formerly outsourced meter readers

Inclusion GRI LA13

AES Eletropaulo also runs the program,

Employing People with Disabilities, which

at its initial stages raises awareness among

the work force and prepares them to

welcome future employees, maps suitable

work activities and workplaces and then

the program chooses a disabled person.

The company contracts technical schools

to train them, which prepares them

for AES Eletropaulo’s selective process.

Management is encouraged to support the

inclusion of the disabled.

AES Eletropaulo maintains qualification

courses for the disabled at Senai (the

National Association of Industries) and

the Instituto Edison. The aim is to provide

training in preparation for the labor market

and internal opportunities.

At Senai, the courses offered are for

quality control analyst, administrative

assistant, supplies assistant and production

programmer, with the main focus being on

training qualified administrative assistants,

able to compete for the best positions on

the market.

The Instituto Edison offers a full electro-

technician’s course, in which subjects

such as electronics, technical design,

standardization and safety procedures,

electro-technical business management,

etc. are taught.

Internal survey on organizational climate

The AES Group, with the help of an outsourced specialized firm,

has conducted annual surveys on organizational climate, taking

into account six areas for analysis: competence, leadership,

communication and affiliation to company, safety and the code

of conduct.

In 2010, the general satisfaction index at the AES Group was

82% and at AES Eletropaulo, 79%.

Attraction and retention of talent

It is an AES Brasil Group policy to

prioritize opportunities for vacancies

through the Internal Recruitment and

Selection Program, through which

vacancies are made available to all

employees from every region.

The goal is to show the requirements

and competencies needed for vacancies

transparently so that employees can

see whether they are qualified to fill

them, or prepare a career plan to fill

them in the future. These vacancies are

posted to all employees through internal

communication tools (intranet, mural

and bulletins) and in this way everyone

has the opportunity for development and

professional growth.

The Recruitment and Selection Program

is currently in its third year. In 2010, 317

places were offered and 1,318 candidates

from the whole Group applied.

When vacancies are not filled internally,

the process is opened up to external

selection, coordinated by the Human

Resources department with the active

participation of the leadership in the

vacancy’s area.

The recruitment and selection process

for interns at the technical and superior

levels is carried out in partnership with

a specialized consultancy to guarantee

quality in the selection process. For

places in the young apprentice and young

citizen programs, NGOs and schools are

contracted to manage the recruiting and

apprenticeship process. Both the young

apprentice and the young citizens programs

have proved effective in inserting young

people into the labor market. Proof of this

lies in the fact that, in 2010, the company

hired seven employees who had taken part

in these programs.

AES Brasil Group has also been running

its Trainees Program since 2010, the

aim of which is to prepare successors

for future key positions and at the same

time give these trainees the opportunity

for personal and professional

development. In the first class there

were 14,382 applications for 20 places

available in the various sectors of Grupo

AES Brasil. In the second class, also in

2010, there were 3,246 candidates for

nine engineering posts.

The program takes two years, split into

four semesters. At each stage, the trainee

learns about a specific company area and

hands in a project that will part of his

performance evaluation. To complement

the training, Grupo AES companies also

provide technical and behavioral training.

In addition, the AES management acts

as mentor for these trainees, helping

them on questions about their careers.

At the end of the program, trainees with

satisfactory evaluations are promoted to

senior positions.

and long (18 to 24 months) terms.

These evaluations have been carried

out since 2009, at the managerial level.

The recommendations are made by

their immediate superiors and, after

detailed analysis at an executive officers’

meeting, undergo a vetting process.

In 2010, a Retirement Incentive

The evaluation model is structured on

eight competencies for non-executives:

technical and functional; guidelines for

results; problem solving; team work;

initiative; relations; safety; commitment to

the company and to the practice of AES

Brasil Group Values.

For those in executive positions, other

competencies inherent to the exercise

of leadership are added, related to

Our Way, Our Attitude

The launch of the new brand of AES

Brasil, in 2009, went beyond a mere

change in the logo: it represented

a cultural transformation aimed

at strengthening the integration

of Group companies. To align the

behavior of company workers with the

essence and pillars of this new culture,

training was begun in Our Way, Our

Attitude in May, aimed at all AES

Brasil employees.

With the slogan “you too are part of

this team”, the behavioral training

encourages employees to reflect

on how they can contribute to this

stage of the Group companies’

transformation, as well as

disseminating knowledge on the brand

among all the organization’s teams.

The work is being developed in

stages: from April to November 2010,

training was carried out in the energy

distributors; in 2011, it will be the

turn of employees at the generation

and telecommunications companies.

The final result of this training will be

the AES Brasil Behavior Manual, put

together from employees’ opinions.

small, medium and large-scale

companies, both Brazilian

and multinational. They are responsible

for supplying the material used in the

electric system, such as: conductors,

connectors, poles, insulators, transformers,

meters and various materials used in

the administrative units. In 2010, the

Company maintained contracts with 554

companies.

The service providers are qualified for

expansion and maintenance activities

in the overhead and underground grid,

connecting new customers, meter-

reading and delivery of bills, security and

surveillance services, clearing vegetation,

tree-pruning and repairing equipment.

Over 90% of contracted companies

are composed of suppliers and service

providers based in the region. In 2010,

7,847 people worked at AES Eletropaulo

through service providers.

Management of suppliers includes their

registration according to technical, legal

and tax requirements, aligned with the

policies of Compliance, Safety and the

Environment.

Contracting policy GRI EC6

In the AES Eletropaulo contracting

processes, the needs and expectations of

the suppliers are identified, analyzed and

used to improve the practices relative to

the relationship, aimed at complying with

the best ways of adapting the company’s

expectations to the suppliers’ ability to

execute them in sustainable fashion.

During the term of the contracts, various

meetings, events and workshops are held

to guarantee continuity of supply without

prejudice to either of the parties. The main

topics addressed are Ethics and Safety.

AES Eletropaulo has specific rules for

selecting its suppliers, the application of

which begins at the start of the registration

process, where information is made

available on the Basic Guidelines for

Safety, the Environment and the Code of

Corporate Ethics and Conduct. At this stage

and tax authorization. Specific consultations

are also made regarding the company’s

financial health and its compliance with

socio-environmental legislation.

Contractual and compliance reviewGRI HR2; HR6; HR7

The contractual review is aimed at

ensuring AES Eletropaulo’s business

integrity, monitoring the legal conduct

and ethics of commercial partners and

safeguarding the company from situations

of ethical or legal violations.

In the contracts, specific compliance

clauses are included in which the contracted

company agrees not to become involved in

any criminal scheme or any which involves

violating human rights, such as slave or child

labor. In 2010, 100% of suppliers involved

in the Compliance process were evaluated

regarding these aspects, as well as health

and safety conditions.

The forms for contracting suppliers and

service providers also deal with specific

questions of ethics and compliance. When

doubts arise, the compliance team conducts

investigations on the company involved and

tries to clarify them with the contracted

company. In the case of serious evidence,

contracting does not proceed.

In 2010, 1,075 operations were analyzed

at AES Eletropaulo, involving a total value of

R$1.8 billion.

Action to combat child and slave labor

AES Eletropaulo takes action to eradicate

child labor and to impede forced and

degrading labor in its supply chain by using

a diverse set of tools. Additionally, at the

registration phase, information concerning

the Code of Ethics and Corporate Conduct

is made available, and specific clauses on

the theme are inserted in the contracts.

AES Eletropaulo carries out on-site audits

of suppliers, where one of the evaluation

items is child or slave labor. During Safety

Inspections, this is also one of the items that

make up the verification check-list.

Satisfaction with quality service GRI PR5

AES Eletropaulo tracks its customers’ levels

of satisfaction by means of satisfaction

surveys applied in each of its segments.

Retail segment customers

In the retail segment. AES Eletropaulo

uses the Brazilian Electric Energy

Distributors Association – Abradee’s

survey. carried out annually. which takes

into account 39 quality attributes divided

into seven macro categories (energy

supply; information and communication;

electricity bill; customer service; company

image; social responsibility and public

lighting). The individual results of each

interview are subsequently forwarded

to AES Eletropaulo. which then makes

various comparative analyses.

According to the Abradee survey.

AES Eletropaulo customers’ Perceived

Satisfaction with Quality Index (ISQP)

was 76.6% in 2010. a drop in relation

to 2009 (80.1%). This decrease is due

mainly to the items. Energy Supply (9.3

percentage points) and Information and

Communication (10.5 points). According

to Abradee. the heavy rains in Southeast

fall in the general perception of customer

satisfaction at AES Eletropaulo and many

other electric energy distributers in Brazil.

Of the 29 distributors with over 500

thousand consumers in Brazil. 23 suffered

a decrease in customer satisfaction

between 2009 and 2010.

The management of customer

satisfaction surveys in the electric sector

is usually annual. Intending to break

with this paradigm and be innovative.

AES Eletropaulo created its Online

Survey of Customer Satisfaction. which

investigates satisfaction on a daily basis.

This is a phone survey carried out by call

center operators. with sample planning

similar to that of the Abradee Survey.

The consolidation of the data researched.

the generation of satisfaction indicators

and the publication of the results on the

intranet are carried out automatically and

online at the company.

The impact of this action on the

organization is remarkable and naturally

encourages everyone’s mobilization in the

customer area. Activities of the Customer

Satisfaction Plan. a strategic company

program. are prioritized in regional terms by

means of the survey results. The practice

has been adopted in other AES Group

companies (AES Sul and AES El Salvador).

Corporate customers

For Corporate Customers. the Corporate

Customer Satisfaction Survey. carried out

annually. face-to-face by the Vox Populi

Institute. evaluates 66 attributes grouped

into eight quality areas (account manager;

telephone service; image; information and

communication; supply quality. billing

and tariffs; social responsibility and public

illumination projects) and identifies the

level of importance each customer gives

to each of these. The forms are individual

and allow the customer’s identification.

facilitating the development of specific

actions.

The 2010 General Satisfaction Index

(ISG) of this corporate customer survey

was 77.6%. representing an increase of 8.5

percentage points over 2009.

Aiming to anticipate any customer

demands and consistently monitor

corporate customer satisfaction

throughout the year. AES Eletropaulo

created the Continuous Corporate

Customer Satisfaction Survey. carried

out through questionnaires filled in by

the customers. via the internet. on a web

survey platform. Four surveys were carried

out in 2010.

In addition to the surveys. the company

monitors and manages complaints

received. taking actions to continuously

improve customer satisfaction.

In 2010, the corporate customer General Satisfaction Index grew 8.5 percentage points compared to 2009

Torpedo fácil - Easy SMS

Implemented in 2009 in all 24

municipalities in the concession area,

the sending of SMS messages (texting

via cell phone) by the customer to

the company was consolidated as a

reliable form of communication in

2010. Customers have assimilated

text message culture and the service

has been widely used. The following

services are available via Torpedo Fácil:

bill copy request, communication

of power outage and reconnection

requests. In 2010, the communication

channel was responsible for 7% of

calls/texts made due to power outages.

Satisfaction with customer service

channels GRI PR5

Retail customer service channels are

also evaluated on a daily basis. The call

center carries out surveys after the calls

have been dealt with automatically by

uRA (Audible Response unit). without

interference from the operator. The

customer service stores and service posts

of the Franchised Network. carry out

surveys by means of an “opinionmeter”

device. available on every operator’s

desk. The self-service chat carries out a

satisfaction survey at the end of the web

customer service.

All these surveys follow the same standards

when evaluating the service channel. the

posture. knowledge and cordiality of the

operator. and are therefore comparable.

The results are collected daily and result in

various corrective actions in processes.

Tariff review

The mechanisms used by Aneel to alter

the tariffs are the annual readjustment

and the tariff review. It should be

noted that in the annual adjustments.

the part of the tariff that includes the

manageable revenue costs (remuneration

from investment. costs of operation.

maintenance and asset depreciation)

is monetarily updated by the General

Market Price Index (IGP-M) released by

the Fundação Getúlio Vargas. reduced

by Factor x (a factor defined in the

concession contract. the purpose of which

is to share gains in productivity with

customers). On July 4. 2010. the average

tariff adjustment was 8%.

In the periodic tariff review. the revenue

needed to cover efficient operational costs¹

and a suitable remuneration on prudent

investments is calculated. In 2011. Aneel

(Brazilian Electric Energy Agency) will begin

the distribution concessionaires’ third cycle

of periodic tariff review. the methodology of

which is still in a public hearing.

For AES Eletropaulo. the tariff review

will be held in July 2011. with the process

happening every four years. Monitoring

the preparation of the methodology is a

strategic matter for AES Eletropaulo.

¹Aneel calculates the revenue needed to set a new tariff level, in such a way as to adequately remunerate investment and cover operating costs. As regards the latter, so that this result does not depend solely on information supplied by the distributor, which could jeopardize the review process, Aneel utilizes the “Reference Company” methodology for the calculation of the operating costs, in this case called “efficient”. In short, it means dealing with a theoretical model that seeks to reflect the efficient operating costs that an ideal concessionary company would have operating in the same concession area. The efficient operating costs are used for the calculation of the distributors’ revenue.

responses within the first 30 seconds of the customer’s call.

The company will also act more forcefully on two fronts:

• Improving indicators. expanding benefits offered to customers;

• Expanding surveys made on the call center. reaching 100% of calls.

Adjustment to Resolution 414 GRI 1.2

Normative Resolution 414. of 2010. established new conditions

for the provision of services linked to electric energy. Among

the main changes are obligatory personal services in all

municipalities served by the concessionaire. the reduction of

connection times for residential and rural consumers. small

commercial establishments and businesses (from three to two

working days) and for medium and high voltage consumers

(from ten to seven working days). Reconnection times were also

reduced from 48 to 24 hours.

Aneel also changed the rules regarding power shut-off due to non-

payment: the consumer must have prior notice of at least 15 days.

but the power can only be shut off 90 days after the due date of

the unpaid bill. In addition. the company must offer. 24 hours per

day. free telephone service to the caller. regardless of the type of

call (landline or cell). In accordance with the rules. the call must

be answered by the second ring and calls must be directed to a

human operator within 60 seconds.

In order to comply with these decisions. AES Eletropaulo is restructuring

its franchised service network and working on adapting the call

center to satisfy the new requirements. In addition. it has signed new

partnerships with suppliers and informed all the medium and high

voltage units of the new rules for billing.

For more information on Normative Resolution 414. Aneel has

made a folder available that can be found on the internet. at:

he supply of reliable and

accessible electric energy is the

central point in promoting the

socio-economic development of society,

especially in low-income communities.

AES Eletropaulo invests its own and

tax-incentive sourced resources in social

projects, energy efficiency and research

and development.

In 2010, around R$160 million was

allocated to projects promoting: social

inclusion and citizenship; education for

conscientious and safe use of energy;

reduction of energy consumption; culture,

sport and income generation in low-

income communities.

Social Projects GRI SO1

AES Eletropaulo runs seven social

projects in its concession area, divided

along two lines: Education, Culture and

Sport and Inclusive and Social Businesses.

In 2010, R$38.3 million was invested from

own and tax incentive funds.

Among tax incentive funds, R$1.4 million

was allocated to cultural projects through

ProAC (São Paulo State Cultural Activity

Program), which uses resources from the

ICMS (sales tax). Examples of the projects

benefiting from this program are the

Oficinas Querô, the object of which was

the production of a short film with 31

adolescents from the community of Vila

Guacuri; Boca do Céu, which brought story-

telling to the units of the Casa de Cultura e

Cidadania; and the Cineco, which foresees

the installation of seven structures for

showing films on DVD.

Prior to the implementation of a social

project, the company makes an analysis of

the region’s socio-economic profile using

the Índice Paulsta de Vulnerabilidade Social

(IVPS)* (São Paulo State Index of Social

Vulnerability) and evaluates the size of the

population to be benefited. The lower the

IVPS and the higher the population, the

greater the probability of a social project’s

implementation is. The decision on which

can be proactive on the part of the company,

or due to the demand from society.

Once the community where the social

project is to be implemented has been

identified, the next step is to enter into

a dialog with the Public Authorities and

the local leaders, to align the expectations

of the community with the company’s

social responsibility strategy, part of the

company’s strategic map.

After the project’s implementation,

AES Eletropaulo monitors the results by

surveying the people benefiting from the

initiatives.

Indicators

To measure the socio-environmental

performance of the company and to

attain the strategic goal of being the

sector’s best distributor regarding Social

Responsibility, AES Eletropaulo uses

three tools: the indicators of the Ethos

Institute**, allowing an evaluation of

* A system of indicators that express the degree of social and economic development among the 645 municipalities of the State of São Paulo.

** The Ethos Institute of Corporate and Social

Responsibility is an Oscip (a Public Interest Civil

Society Organization) which has the mission of

mobilizing and helping companies manage their

businesses in a socially responsible way.

Cultural incentives

AES Eletropaulo allocated R$ 1.4

million to cultural projects through

the São Paulo State Cultural Initiative

Program (ProAC), which makes use

of ICMS (tax on the movement of

goods and services) tax incentives.

Among the projects that benefit

from this program are the Officina

Queiro, which produces short films

with adolescents in the Vila Guacuri

community; the Boca do Céu, which

brings story-telling to the Casa de

Cultura e Cidadania; and Cineco, which

foresees the installation of seven

structures to exhibit movies in DVD.

in the national ranking of the Abradee Social

Responsibility Awards, among distributors

with over 500 thousand customers.

Casa de Cultura e Cidadania (House of

Culture and Citizenship)

AES Brasil’s main project, the Casa

de Cultura e Cidadania has the goal of

transforming the reality of thousands of

children, adolescents and adults through

activities involving art, culture, citizenship,

quality of life and income generation.

Focused primarily on low-income

communities, the project directly benefits

5.2 thousand people in its activities and

47 thousand people with its presentations

and talks. In AES Eletropaulo’s units, 1.6

thousand people benefit directly from the

project and 33 thousand people in low-

income communities benefit from the

talks and other activities of the Casa de

Cultura e Cidadania.

Acting in the two spheres of Social

Responsibility (Education, Culture and

Sport and Inclusive and Social Businesses),

the project has seven units: São Paulo

and Osasco, with investment from AES

Eletropaulo and support from AES Atimus;

Barra Bonita, Lins, São José do Rio Pardo

and Caconde, under the responsibility of

AES Tietê; and Rio de Janeiro, coordinated

by AES Atimus. In 2011 a new unit will

be inaugurated in Novo Hamburgo in Rio

Grande do Sul state, sponsored by AES Sul.

The program at the Casa de Cultura e

Cidadania includes two fronts of action,

which have a transversal theme of safe

and efficient use of electric energy and

responsible consumption of natural

resources. The first of them, offered on

Mondays to Fridays from 8am to 5pm, is

directed toward children and adolescents

and presents activities such as storytelling,

circus arts, visual and digital arts, music,

theater, dance, artistic gymnastics

and sports gymnastics. The teaching

methodology applied was developed by a

multidisciplinary team of curators.

The other front, for adolescents and

adults, promotes vocational and business

training courses, workshops on income

generation and talks. The courses are given

in the evening from Monday to Friday and

on Saturdays.

To evaluate and manage the benefits

of the Casa da Cultura e Cidadania,

AES Eletropaulo carries out a weekly

satisfaction survey, conducted by the

Instituto IdeaFix, and tracks the Casa’s

monthly management indicators and

its activities, together with six-monthly

indicators on the real use of the benefits.

The Casa has consultative councilors,

made up of members of AES Eletropaulo,

the company that renders the project

operational, and from the community. The

main goal is to exercise citizenship through

periodic meetings – with the participation

of community leaders, educators, parents

or those responsible for the children,

adolescents from the project and

representatives from the public authorities

– so that in the medium term the council

can have an influence on questions of

public policies that directly affect the

community in which they live.

In 2010, the AES Brasil Group won the

10th edition of the Fundação Coge Award

in the category, Social Responsibility

Actions, with the Project, Casa de Cultura

Eletropaulo, the CEIs use a constructivist

pedagogical project, aimed at encouraging

the children to develop their own ability to

observe, discover, think and act by having

as its principles, respect for the dignity and

rights of children; the right to play; access

to available socio-cultural resources; the

socialization of the children and the right

to essential care.

The project also provides access to

children’s literature through two Ecotecas

– ecological libraries, built with box

packaging made from recycled material.

This project was made possible by ProAC

– Programa de Ação Cultural do Estado de

São Paulo (the São Paulo State Cultural

Action Program) – with investment from

AES Eletropaulo. The minimum collection

is 500 books per unit.

To evaluate the work, climate surveys are

carried out among the employees, who

assess the strong points and improvements

(which result in a plan of action), and a

360º, performance assessment which

helps in the understanding of training and

development needs.

In 2010, Luz e Lápis implemented the

Educar para a Vida (Educate for Life)

project which, through a cooperative

agreement with the São Paulo Municipal

Fund for Children’s and Adolescents Rights

(Fumcad), enabled the development of

activities in arts, music, dance, physical

education and IT, in addition to the hiring

of a psychologist for the children.

The project team is composed of a

teaching director, teaching coordinators,

educators, nursing assistants, a health

agent, a psychologist, chefs and cleaning

personnel, administrative and janitors. The

educators (teachers and assistants) take

part in talks by professional specialists and

attend courses upgrading the activities.

Members of both the Executive Board

aeS eletropaulo in Schools project works

directly in the training of multipliers to

disseminate information in the classroom on

responsible and safe use of electric energy.

The project, which also has a truck equipped

with 15 computers and an educational game

in which students test their knowledge on

the subject, served 456 state-run schools

in 15 municipalities in the AES Eletropaulo

concession area, reaching around 62

thousand children and adolescents in 2010.

Students taking part develop artistic

works on the topic that vary from

models of equipment to plays, music and

dance. In 2010, the students produced

4,236 projects which were shown to the

community in open exhibitions organized

by the schools and the Educational

Secretaries of the participating towns.

Investment for the Energy Efficiency

Program was R$5 million.

To reinforce awareness on the proper use

of electric energy, AES Eletropaulo invests in

the mass media – with advertisements on

TV and radio – and in 2010 launched the

Consumo Mais Inteligente (More Intelligent

Consumption) Program, focused on

encouraging attitudes that result not only

in financial savings but also in improving

the public’s quality of life. Energy Efficiency

projects, run out by the company, are

described on the Consumo Mais Inteligente

site (www.consumomaisinteligente.com.br).

Fornecedor Cidadão (Citizen supplier)

In the Inclusive and Social Business sphere,

the Fornecedor Cidadão project was created

to provide training aimed at the distribution

business and to train people to be AES Brasil

suppliers. The result of ideas developed in

the Ethos Institute’s Grupo Referencial de

Empresas em Sustentabilidade - Sustainability

Reference Group of Companies in (GRES),

the project’s goals are: the generation of

income for the low-income community; the

inclusion of women in the energy sector,

increased diversity; and the reduction of the

turnover rate among suppliers.

The project’s first initiative was the

Training of Women Electricians, which

offered a vocational training course in

electricity – divided into two classes - for 41

women from low-income communities. The

women are linked to the suppliers Socrel

and FM Rodrigues, service providers for AES

Eletropaulo, in the activity of shutting off

and reconnecting electric connections. The

target for 2011 is to expand the project to

other AES Brasil suppliers.

Among the preliminary results, were

approval by the supplier (no dismissals),

incorporation of the safety culture into the

employees’ daily work routine and high

productivity.

Empreender com Energia (Enterprise

with Energy)

The Empreender com Energia (Enterprise

with Energy) program encourages social

enterprise in low-income communities. For

this, community members organize a mini-

company and with monitoring, learn how

to administer it during a year. In 2010,

two groups with 22 community members

were formed with individual entrepreneurs

from activities such as handicrafts in

general, sewing, IT and cleaning products.

Programa de Voluntariado Energia do

Bem (Energy for Good Volunteer’s

Program)

Energia do Bem is an AES Brasil

volunteer’s program whose aim is to

engage with and offer support to company

and outsourced employees and their

family members who want to voluntarily

contribute to the development of the

communities in which AES is active.

Launched in 2009, in 2010 the project

had 713 volunteers from AES Eletropaulo

(12.5% of the workforce).

To support the program, AES Brasil

companies offer a link to divulge voluntary

opportunities, and the donation is up

to four hours per month from working

hours for voluntary work, including

transportation by a company-licensed taxi

to the institution closest to the workplace.

The spheres of Energia do Bem

Distributing Energia do Bem: has the

objective of mobilizing employees to take part

in periodic and emergency campaigns, such

as the Campanhas do Agasalho e de Natal

(Clothes Donation and Christmas Campaigns),

encouraging donations for social projects in

aid of children and adolescents. In 2010,

AES Brasil’s Christmas Campaign helped

1,188 children and the Clothes Donation

Campaign involved 37 institutions

throughout the concession areas where

Group companies operate. The Program

also mobilized employees to contribute to

helping people affected by natural disasters

such as those in Chile and Haiti, São Paulo

and São Luis do Paraitinga. Clothes, shoes

and domestic utensils were collected

and bank accounts opened for financial

donations.

Agindo para Transformar (acting for

Change): aimed at social engagement and

the employees’ voluntary participation

in AES Eletropaulo’s partner institutions.

It also includes the selection and

monitoring of social projects registered

in the Conselhos Municipais dos Direitos

da Criança e do Adolescente Municipal

Councils for Children’s and Adolescents’

Rights (CMDCAs), which receive 1% of

income tax owed by the company. In

2010, AES Eletropaulo allocated R$2.3

million to 15 social projects in three

municipalities in the concession area.

Empreendendo na Comunidade

(enterprise in the Community):

implemented in 2010, the goal is to

encourage social enterprise among

employees through the presentation of

social projects to be developed – with

the support of AES Eletropaulo – in

the communities. The results will be

evaluated in 2011.

Energy EfficiencyCampaign GRI Eu7; Eu24

AES Eletropaulo allocates 0.5% of its net

operating revenue to the Energy Efficiency

Campaign, in compliance with the decision

of the Brazilian energy agency, Aneel,

in addition to company funds. In 2010,

investments totaled R$18.2 million from

company funds and R$62.5 million from

compulsory resources.

Part of the Energy Efficiency program is

the Turning Consumers into Customers

project – the regularization of electricity

connections in low-income communities –

and projects aimed at public and corporate

customers, as well as Eletropaulo in

Schools (read more on page 90).

Turning Consumers into Customer GRI EC9; SO1; Eu22

The aim of the Turning Consumers into

Customers Program is the regularization

of electric energy connections, improving

energy supply conditions to low-income

communities and the surrounding area,

disseminating guidelines on safe and

efficient use of electricity and promoting

social inclusion.

Since 2004, over 411 thousand families

have benefited from the regularization

of their electricity connections. In 2010

alone, 55.5 thousand regularizations

were made, with an investment of

R$48.4 million, with R$18.2 million from

company funds and R$30.2 million from

compulsory resources as part of the

Energy Efficiency Program.

The starting point is a visit to the

community to build the relationship, get to

know people and explain the project’s goals.

After these contacts, the regularization

work begins.

To help the community have the financial

conditions to pay their electricity bills, AES

Eletropaulo contributes to reducing energy

consumption, replacing incandescent light

bulbs with compact fluorescent ones,

as well as refrigerators in a precarious

state, installing smart showers and also

renovating internal electric installations in

houses in poor condition.

In addition to being more efficient in

terms of energy consumption, the new

refrigerators use isobutane gas and foam

with cyclopentane gas that does not harm

the ozone layer. Moreover, the precarious

refrigerators are disposed of correctly by

specialist companies, who recycle and re-

use the component materials.

The Turning Consumers into Customers

Project also promotes citizenship, given

that the customer ends up with a proof

of residence (the electricity bill), enabling

eligibility for diverse benefits in society.

To measure the project’s results, periodic

satisfaction surveys are carried out in

the regularized communities. The next is

scheduled for 2011.

For 2011, the target is to reduce the

default rate among new customers. The

campaign “Pagou em dia, é só alegria”

(Happiness is paying on time) was launched

in 2010, with a seven-month duration.

All customers in the areas regularized by

AES Eletropaulo between 2004 and June

2010 and with their bills paid up and their

registration regularized take part in the

campaign. Participation is automatic, as

numbers are generated automatically, with

a monthly draw on the campaign site:

(www.pagouemdiaesoalegria.com.br).

Each month, 60 tickets worth R$200 are

drawn, and one worth R$5,000. Throughout

the campaign, those who have already

won are eligible to win two prizes worth

R$105,000 each to do a makeover of their

houses by architect Marcelo Rosenbaun,

the same as in the feature “Lar, Doce Lar”

(Home, Sweet Home) in the Rede Globo TV

program “Caldeirão do Huck”.

In three months of the campaign, the

number of paid-up customers rose by 6.3%.

As well as the project aimed at low-

income customers, AES Eletropaulo

invests in projects for customers in the

commercial, industrial, public authorities

and services groups. In 2010, AES

Eletropaulo invested R$32.3 million in

projects for these groups and enabled

savings of 18,932 MWh/year, enough to

supply over 7 thousand residences.

within the perspective of continuous

improvement and quality in its processes

using tools that guarantee the safety and

reliability of the services. The program

also encourages opportunities for

sustainable growth, capable of generating

benefits for customers, shareholders,

employees, partners, suppliers and society.

In addition to practical results, the

intangible results (Masters, Doctorates,

employee specializations) provide future

expectations and opportunities that can be

economically valued.

The company allocates 0.2% of its net

operating revenue (ROL) to the R&D

program, in compliance with electric

energy sector legislation. The projects

also include technical, commercial

and operating processes; the safety of

employees and outsourced workers, in

addition to the promotion of sustainable

initiatives for the communities, among

other related topics.

Among the projects concluded, the

Virtual Environment Simulation for

the training on critical tasks in the

area of power distribution should be

emphasized, the result of which was the

development of a virtual reality platform

for live-wire team training, a system

comprising a training room, software

and methodology. This project provided

for the creation of an interactive and

real training process leading to more

integrated action by maintenance teams

with the company’s supervision and control

systems reliably and in real time, significantly

improving the capacity and speed of grid

problem solving, resulting in improved power

supply quality indicators.

Public bodies GRI 4.13; SO5

Electric energy distribution is a regulated

activity and requires the company’s

cooperation with the public authorities

at various levels, and with the agencies

that set the sector’s regulatory standards.

The main energy sector regulatory body

is the Brazilian Electric Energy Agency

(Aneel), linked to the Ministry of Mines

and Energy, which represents the Federal

Government in terms of the technical,

economic and financial aspects of

the service concession, regulating and

inspecting the production, transmission

and sale of electric energy, in compliance

with federal policies and guidelines.

The company is also associated with

the Câmara de Comercialização de

Energia Elétrica (CCEE) - (Electric Power

Commercialization Chamber), a civil

association that administers contracts signed

between the generators, sales companies,

distributors and non-captive consumers.

For environmental questions, AES

Eletropaulo maintains relations with the

Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente

e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis

(Ibama) (Institute for the Environment and

Renewable Natural Resources) the agency

responsible for environmental licensing. The

company also maintains a relationship with

state agencies, such as Arsesp (São Paulo

State Regulatory Agency for Sanitation

and Energy) and municipal governmental

agencies responsible for certain licenses,

such as Cetesb, in charge of licensing

activities in São Paulo state. With the Public

Prosecutor’s Office, the company studies the

incorporation of this body’s guidelines into

its socio-environmental practices.

AES Eletropaulo also maintains a close

commercial and institutional relationship

with São Paulo state government secretaries

and municipalities in its concession area, with

the aim of adequately complying with their

specific requirements (diverse works and

electric energy consumption) as well setting

up partnerships that benefit the public.

Sendi 2010

The National Seminar of Electric Energy

Distribution – SENDI is one of the most

important events in the distribution sector.

Held every two years it promotes the

exchange of experiences among the energy

concession utilities and contacts with

international specialists on the theme. In

2010, the event took place in São Paulo

and was coordinated by Abradee and AES

Eletropaulo.

Held on November 22 to 25, the event

included plenary sessions, presentations of

technical projects, lectures and exhibitions

on the electric power distribution sector.

Projeto Mananciais (Headwaters Project) GRI EN11; EN13

Headwaters are bodies of water used –

or of potential use – for public supply or

consumption by the public, Occupying

headwater areas illegally causes serious risks

and can jeopardize the water source, This

type of habitation has no basic sanitation

structure and its residues, including

sewage, end up draining into the water, The

impermeability of the soil is also damaged

by the removal of forest cover,

Implemented in 2006, the Projeto

Mananciais operates in ten of the thirteen

municipalities in the AES Eletropaulo

concession area, which are home to

headwaters protection areas (APMs),

The aim is to guarantee compliance with

environmental legislation and contribute

to public policies for a reduction in the

irregular occupation of these areas,

In 2010, AES Eletropaulo sought to

improve its Geographical Information

System (GIS), initiating discussions of a

technical cooperative agreement with

Cetesb that provides for geographical

information sharing and other guidelines

to manage and control electric grid

connections in headwater areas,

Atmospheric Emissions GRI EC8; EN18; EN19

To mitigate environmental impacts

resulting from its activities, AES

Eletropaulo has implemented management

actions in its operations and sets up

partnerships with public/private bodies,

The goal is to provide incentives for the

use of cleaner technologies and reduce the

emission of greenhouse gases (GGE),

The Energy Efficiency measures in the

State Schools Project, which includes

modernization of the lighting system by the

replacement of reactors and light bulbs, the

company expects to reduce emissions by

the equivalent of 1,106 tons of CO2,

Replacement of inefficient refrigerators

among low-income families (read more

on page 94) is expected to result in a

reduction of the equivalent of 2,300

tons of CO2 over the year, In addition,

the new refrigerators have no ozone

depletion potential (ODP),

The company also evaluates the

emission of gases with ozone depletion

potential (Fluid R22, Fluid R134 and Fluid

FM200), present in electrical equipment

systems and used in the maintenance of

air-conditioning and fire fighting, HCFC-

22 (R22) gas is used in air conditioning

systems, As well as R22, the company

also uses R134a and R407C gases in

air conditioning, which have no ozone

*The increase in consumption of this gas was due to the renewal plans for air-conditioning equipment and systems at AES

Eletropaulo. The amount was increased in 30 new units of equipment installed in various company areas. Another factor

contributing to the increased consumption of this gas was the identification of equipment previously not included among

the preventive maintenance needing the use of gas R22. The expansion of preventive maintenance plans means that the

consumption will increase until it reaches 100% of the mapped equipment (scheduled to be completed in December

2011). After this, the consumption is expected to fall, with further increases depending on when the renovation, or

replacement, of the equipment and installations recurs.

Clean development mechanisms

Activities related to greenhouse gas

emission (GGEs) reduction are included

in the company’s management plan

through joint initiatives with its operating

units, Some of them are considered Clean

Development Mechanisms (CDMs) by

international protocols, permitting their

trading as Reduced Emission Certificates,

or Carbon Credits,

Carbon Credits are certificates issued

by organizations that have been able

to reduce their emissions of GGEs,

The certificate can be traded on the

international market to countries needing

to fulfill emissions reductions targets

stipulated in the Kyoto Protocol,

Starting in 2010, the company

began managing its direct and indirect

greenhouse gas emissions in accordance

with practices stipulated by the GHG

Protocol, and started publishing its

company emissions inventory system, The

document was made public via the Carbon

Disclosure Project (CDP) on the site

Climate change and impacts on energy distribution GRI EC2

Climatic variations tend to cause problems in electric energy

distribution due to excess rain and wind in certain regions,

especially in summer,

To reduce the damage caused by the changes and to serve

the public, AES Eletropaulo created its Plano Verão (Summer

Plan), in which emergency situations are prioritized and a

greater number of teams are deployed, The company also runs

preventive projects such as the pruning of trees that could

cause risk to the electric system, (read more on page 46),

Electric and Magnetic Fields

Electric and magnetic fields are Inherent

to the distribution of electric energy,

mainly in sub-transmission (high voltage)

undertakings, The electric fields occur

due to the voltage of the operation, and

magnetic fields are due to the passage of

the current,

AES Eletropaulo, with its concern

for the wellbeing of the communities

located in the vicinity of its activities

and in compliance with the legislation

applicable (Federal law 11,934 of May

5, 2009, regulated by Aneel normative

resolution No, 398, of March 23, 2010,

periodically carries out, in partnership

with the Brazilian Association for

Electromagnetic Compatibility – Abricem,

measurement and simulation studies of

electric and magnetic fields, however,

within the municipality of São paulo,

in the case of new undertakings or the

reform of existing ones, the results

of the studies are shared with the

Department of environmental Quality

Control (Decont),

In addition, AES Eletropaulo, using

funds for Research and Development

projects, has been studying these electric

and magnetic fields and has applied the

knowledge to projects developed for

transmission lines and substations, The

company is also studying a magnetic

field measurement gauge, which is in the

implementation phase for testing with

conclusion expected by December 2011,

Environmental notices and fines GRI EN28

urban vegetation plays a vital role in the

quality of life of our cities, In alignment

with this concept, AES Eletropaulo has

been striving to reduce the impact of

its tree pruning operations to guarantee

quality in its power distribution, In

2010, to minimize interruptions in the

power supply, the company increased its

intervention in trees at risk of coming into

contact with the overhead grid, This action,

despite training given to both its own and

outsourced teams beyond the contractual

requirements, resulted in an increased

number of fines, mainly due to the quality

of tree pruning and the incorrect disposal

of waste in public thoroughfares,

Of the 23 environmental fines or legal

notifications involving the company,

totaling R$573,7 thousand, 20 resulted

from these activities, Of the total received,

seven fines were paid relating to pruning,

totaling R$ 4,890, The remainder is the

subject of defense and administrative

appeal proceedings,

Certain of the relevance of good

environmental practices and despite

the disproportionate number of fines

received compared to the services carried

out, AES Eletropaulo is committed to

harmony between vegetation and the

power grid, correcting the errors found and

intensifying preventive measures, With

this aim, in 2010 the company invested in

initiatives such as:

• The review and re-publication of the

Guide to urban Vegetation and the Pruning

Manual, for consultation and technical

support for employees and neighborhood

associations;

• Sponsoring of the IV GEPAuRB – Major

Meeting of urban Tree Professionals,

with the participation of city halls and

the public, emphasizing the importance

of planting species of suitable size on

sidewalks and under electric power lines,

as well as carrying out technical skills

training, given by agronomist and forestry

engineers, to employees in the operating

teams and the teams of partner companies

and the municipalities;

• Tracking of the evolution of errors and

the interaction with our partners in the

search for improvement;

• A partnership with the Neighborhood

Association AME JARDINS and a

cooperative agreement with the São Paulo

city hall aimed at improving the care

taken with trees within the municipality,

seeking the optimization of planning, as

well as the specific care (vegetation health

care) needed for each tree, to prevent and

avoid accidents involving the public and to

identify the health of each individual tree

in order to plan corrective action.
