The company's operations are primarily concentrated within the State of Paraná, extending its distribution network to 394 municipalities in Paraná and the municipality of Porto União in Santa Catarina. COPEL’s infrastructure includes a robust portfolio of power generation assets, comprising 62 owned plants—18 hydroelectric, 1 thermal, and 43 wind facilities—along with stakes in 13 additional generation projects, contributing to an adjusted installed capacity of 6,573.9 megawatts. Additionally, the firm manages 9,685 kilometers of transmission lines and 209,665 kilometers of distribution lines.

This strategic realignment includes substantial investments in modernizing its distribution network and aims for a net-zero carbon target by 2030, leveraging its predominantly hydro and wind-based generation capacity.
