¹ Updated according to Aneel Aproval Resolution No. 2,408/2018 of 06.26.2018. Adjusted for Copel's stake.

The project aims to meet the growth of energy demand in the region of Foz do Iguaçu, Medianeira and nearby cities in the west of Paraná, which were served at 230 kV almost exclusively by the Foz do Iguaçu Norte substation. The region is characterized by high temperatures and great flow of tourists in the summer months, consequently great demands of energy in these times. In addition to improving the quality and reliability of its service to this region, the new substation will alleviate the 230/138 kV transformations of Cascavel and Foz do Iguaçu, avoiding medium-term overloads, mainly in the Foz do Iguaçu Norte substation. It will also enable the strong expansion of all economic sectors in the region, especially agro-industry.
