Copel's CVC Fund directs second investment to startup focused on market opening and distributed generation

COPEL ("Company"), a company that generates, transmits, distributes and trades energy informs its shareholders and the market in general that, through Copel Ventures I, the Company's Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) fund, it carried out its second investment, now in the startup Nextron Energia, a solar energy marketplace, with integration between Distributed Generation ("GD") and end consumers.

R$11.0 million was allocated, and the investment aims to advance an innovative solution, with a view to simplifying access to clean energy through a digital platform, which connects the consumer to the renewable energy project through a subscription service.

The movement is aligned with Copel's strategic commitment to be recognized by customers for its offer of innovative and digital services that generate value for all its stakeholders.

Copel Ventures I, managed by VOX Capital, with R$150 million in committed capital, aims to provide strategic support and business opportunities within the Copel ecosystem, having already made the first investment in the company Move, in 2023.

Nextron is present in several states and, from a platform, allows low voltage consumers access to clean project energy in the region through a subscription service, providing savings on subscribers' electricity bills without the need for investment or installation of your own solar panels.
