COPEL ("Company"), a company that produces, transmits, distributes and sells energy, hereby provides clarification on the questioning regarding atypical oscillation involving securities issued by the Company, requested through Official Letter 1154/2022-SLS, sent on October 24, 2022 by B3 ("Official Letter"), which is transcribed below.

Re: Request for clarification on atypical fluctuation

Dear Sir/Madam,

Given the latest fluctuations in the price of the company's securities, the number of trades and the trading volume, as shown below, we hereby request you to inform, by October 25, 2022, if you are aware of any fact that can justify these fluctuations.

*Updated until 15:43 p.m.

______________________________________________

In reply to the request, the Company informs that it is unaware of any fact or material information not yet disclosed to the market directly related to Copel or its activities that may have influenced the fluctuation, treated as atypical by the Official Letter, of its Common Shares (" ON" or "CPLE3"), Preferred Class B Shares ("PNB" or "CPLE6") and "Units" ("UNITs" or "CPLE11") on 10.24.2022.

It is worth noting that, in the week between October 17 and 21, 2022, Copel made some disclosures whose documents were all duly filed in the CVM System and are available on the Company's Investor Relations website: (i) Notice to the Mercado 21/22, referring to the definition of the UHE Bento Munhoz da Rocha Netto concession bonus ("Foz do Areia"); (ii) Notice to the Market, on the holding of a conference on November 11, 2022 on the results for the third quarter of 2022; (iii) Material Fact 03/22, referring to the proposal for the distribution of dividends to be resolved at an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 21, 2022; (iv) Notice to Shareholders 07/22, referring to the publications ordered by art. 289 of Law 6,404/76; and (v) other documents related to the convening of the Extraordinary General Meeting (Call Notice, Manual for Participating, Management Proposal and others).

Also, the Company, through its Investor Relations Officer, pursuant to the sole paragraph of article 4 of CVM Resolution 44, of August 23, 2021 ("RCVM 44"), questioned its controlling shareholder, State of Paraná , on whether it would be aware of material information not disclosed to the market that could justify the atypical fluctuation in the quotation, in the number of trades and in the financial volume involving ON and PNB shares and UNITs of Copel, and awaits a return.

Curitiba, October 25, 2022.
