São Paulo, June 14, 2021 - Guided by the commitment to generate sustainable value for society, ISA CTEEP, the country's largest private electricity transmission company, entered into a partnership with the Guga Kuerten Institute, with the Sport and Education Program - Campeões da Vida, which works with social transformation and support for educational actions in the state of Santa Catarina. The company is investing R$ 500 thousand, via the Sports Incentive Law, for actions that will be developed over this and next year.

Every year, 420 people are benefited, including children, teenagers and people with disabilities, from public schools in the municipalities of Biguaçu, Palhoça, São José and Florianópolis, in Santa Catarina. The activities take place twice a week, after school, and are accompanied by physical education, psychology and social service professionals.

For the CEO of ISA CTEEP, Rui Chammas, the partnership between the private sector and institutions that foster social transformation is fundamental. 'We want to be active and collaborate for the development of the society in which we live. Therefore, we believe in partnerships like this one and we will continue to invest in projects aimed at strengthening equal opportunities, positively impacting communities'.

Through the practice of sports and educational initiatives carried out by the Institute, the program proposes social and personal development, improving the quality of life of the participants.

'Throughout our trajectory, we have developed sports, educational and social initiatives so that even more children, teenagers and adults can fulfill their own citizenship. For us, the greatest result is to offer better living conditions for people who face some kind of uncomfortable situation. Therefore, when we look at what we have achieved so far, so many stories of overcoming difficulties, the work carried out by the Institute is a source of great pride and satisfaction. Sport is much more than a competition, it is our life', summarizes the president of the Guga Kuerten Institute, Alice Kuerten.

In total, during 2020, ISA CTEEP invested R$ 19 million, with its own and incentivized resources, in 17 projects - including the Sports and Education Program Campeões da Vida - which will promote actions of socioeconomic and environmental development, in addition to actions to fight against Covid-19.

Other projects in Santa Catarina

The company is starting work on the Biguaçu Electric Interconnection (IE), which will boost the supply of electricity, as well as bring more reliability to the electrical system for the whole of the Greater Florianópolis area.

Besides the benefits that strengthen the regions's electrical system, the project will expand the economic, social and technological development of the State, in addition to attracting new projects to Santa Catarina, supporting the increase in loads resulting from the expansion of economic activities in the region. For this work, we plan to hire local labor of around 230 professionals.

The project includes the expansion of a substation and the construction of an additional substation and a 230 kV transmission line with two 28 km circuits, including overhead, undersea and underground segments.
