10. 10 The PT’s view on the electricity industry 4.The new Federal Administration 1.There is no official statement on the industry yet: Change on the approach : market oriented regulation may be discarded. Deep concern on prices may result in attempt to establish price control. Deeper changes may require Congressional approval. 2.The team responsible for the industry restructuring is not appointed yet: The policymakers who made the PT’s campaign proposal are likely to take responsibility: The key person is Luiz Pinguelli Rosa

11. 11 “ It is necessary to unravel the big confusion the industry is.” Luiz Pinguelli Rosa PT energy industry policymaker The insights to follow were selected from an interview granted to an energy specific electronic newspaper

12. 12 The approach will be changed Change the approach so that it is focused on public service rather than privatization and liberalization; –Notwithstanding, previously signed contracts will be honored; Electricity system expansion planning will be centralized and will be conducted by the existing energy planning committee, the CNPE ; oThe responsibility to handle growing demand is that of the Federal Government ; oThe private investor role is supplementary;

13. 13 Deep concern with the capacity expansion Assure the capacity expansion through state owned and private generators: oThe needed investment is approximately R$ 10 billion per year of which R$ 5 billion will be invested by the Eletrobras group; oThe state owned utilities are under-leveraged and there may raise funds in the capital markets; oThe restrictions on state owned companies’ ability to raise funds will be lifted. oThe MAE, the wholesale energy market, will have a complementary role: oThe generators will be committed to the capacity expansion; The ROI will be set through transmission fixed revenue like approach; It will be assured inflation based adjustments ;

14. 14 Concerns on price levels The electricity price must be affordable for the consumers: oChange the way the concessions are granted oThe idea is to have lowest rate bid win rather than the highest licensed fee; o The rate review process will be revised to change the inflation adjustment index, the IGP-M, which reflects the impact of the depreciated real; oExtend initial contracts through negotiation among the various parties; onevertheless, the utilities must be profitable but not excessively so; oThe negotiation process will not be extensive with the Government in the role of arbitrator;

15. 15 Other points to watch The ANEEL will have an industry oversight role assuring regulation enforcement; The rationing loss recovery mechanism will be preserved and other points will be revised : oEnergy supply insurance; oThe CBEE ( Government owned trader) role; Thermal generation projects will have a supplementary role to the hydro-generation and a progressive growth in the country’s energy matrix. Points to be revised are: oNatural gas high price ( dollar denominated contracts); oTake or pay contracts; The use of alternate energy sources is one of the highest priorities of the PT’s energy industry strategy;

16. 16 Low demand turned prices low 5.Energy auctions What went wrong? a.Disappointing demand. b.Low asked prices for energy to deliver in the SE and MW region. c.Buyers unsure on price trend. d.Overcapacity on the short term e.Uncertainty on the regulatory framework

17. 17 Federal auction final results

18. 18 The 2002-2005 pricing outlook –The VN, R$ 85 per MWh, is the price reference –Marginal cost is around VN –For the long run, price will range from R$ 70 to 85 per MWh –Good rainfalls may affect spot market price keeping it down for the short term –Subsidies on the natural gas price will turn thermal projects competitive Electricity price linked to capacity expansion cost

19. 19 Still pending decision on the methodology to be used 6.The rate review process a.The rate base asset value to be calculated by a replacement price approach. b.CNPE’s request on the criteria taken by the ANEEL. c.Cemig’s process supposed to be completed until April 2003 d.Subject to public hearings

20. 20 Year of volatility 7.Earning preview Major highlights Devaluation of the Br R$ was very sharp : 30% in the quarter, 40% year to September. Sale volume growth is still sluggish because of the weak economic activity and rationing impact. Subsidies granted to the low income consumers.

21. 21 Energy Retail Sale Volume Growth Analysis Estimated retail sales in 2002 are: Match 1998 and 1999 4.7% lower than 2000 2.3% higher than 2001 See disclaimer slide 2

22. 22 Energy Retail Sale Volume Growth Analysis 3Q 02 retail sale volume is: –4.8% lower than 2000 –16.8% stronger than 2001

23. 23 Energy Retail Sale Volume Growth Analysis In the 2 and 3Q 02, the monthly average retail sales volume was 10% higher than 1Q 02

24. 24 September 2002 retail sales were: –Approximately 16% stronger compared to September 2001 –4% lower than 2000 Energy Retail Sales Volume Growth Analysis

25. 25 2002 energy retail sale estimate is still higher than the 2001 energy retail sales Nonetheless, 2002 estimates match 1998 and 1999 retail sales The impact of 2001/2002 rationing will persist for at least 3 years 2000 retail sale level will be matched only in 2005 Energy Retail Sales Volume Growth Analysis

26. 26 Retail Sales Volume Growth Estimate Reflects Impact of 2001-2002 Rationing For the 2003-2005 period the estimated annual growth rate is 2.2% 2000-2004 CAGR is 0.4% See disclaimer slide 2

27. 27 The major reasons for slower growth are: –Change in average residential and commercial consumption: 1 st half 2002 averages are 16% and 13% lower than 2001; –Change in industrial consumption pattern: Some consumers are replacing utility supply by self-generation (hydropower projects at aluminum industry, cogeneration projects at steel and fertilizer plants) and diesel fired generators or other alternatives during peak hours. Energy Retail Sales Volume Growth Analysis

28. 28 Therefore, we are revising our estimate for 2002 New requirements for low income consumer subsidy brought a R$5 million monthly revenue loss. Reduction of the initial contract volume rose from 2.4% to 6.3%, resulting in a lower revenue loss recovery. Consumption growth estimate now is 2.3% down from 4%, previously predicted.
