For CTEEP, the quality of the electric energy transmission supplied to its customers consists in a major commitment that has always guided the Company’s operational efficiency strategy. This can be evidenced by the fact that, for the fourth year running, the Company received an additional RAP in the amount of R$ 3,867,618.34, related to the 2011/2012 Cycle, granted by ANEEL because of the high availability of its assets (99.9664%). This amount is 15% higher than the discount concerning the Variable Deduction for Unavailability (PVI) recorded during the same period.

Moreover, the assumptions regarding energy supply estimated for 2014, when the World Cup will be hosted in Brazil, has been underlining the Company`s investments, thus contributing to increasing credibility towards the Brazilian electric power transmission system.

In order to meet this increasingly more demanding scenario, the Company has consistently invested in the application of new technologies that are assured to bring added value to its network, with special emphasis on operations and maintenance activities. This management approach is intended to enhance efficiency and quality as regards its transmission services, since the Company`s operating revenues are directly connected with the availability of its assets (transmission lines, transformers, reactive power compensation equipment, etc.). In this context, CTEEP has also developed the Asset Optimization Plan (AOP) and the Transmission Improvement Program (TIP), being both geared towards the consistent enhancement of its equipment and systems.

The Company is also aware that it is fundamental to ensure the safety of its employees, equipment and systems, by mitigating any likelihood of occurrence of accidents involving its personnel, or malfunction that may lead to power shortages, or that may bring about any impact on the Brazilian Interconnect System.

CTEEP maintains a very close relationship with the Energy Research Company (EPE) and with the Brazilian Operator of the Electrical System (ONS), so as to ensure that both its planning and execution of its operations are aligned with the system requirements, as well as in tune with the needs of the generation, distribution and consumers connected with the Company`s network.
