Emergency Response Plan

(GRI EU21)

CTEEP has an Emergency Response Plan (PAE) applicable mainly to collapsing metallic structures of Transmission Lines, which lead to failures in the electric system. The plan consists of a coherent set of resources and information to repair the affected transmission lines, such as the associated logistics operations needed to speed up the solution. As a result, it minimizes the impact of any events affecting the electric system while ensuring the safety of SIN and the employees of the Company, which considers the physical integrity and health of its staff foremost issues. PAE also involves environmental issues.

Communication with clients and the Electricity Industry authorities, mainly the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), ANEEL and the National Electric System Operator (ONS) is one of the PAE initiatives. In fact, the Company provides them with detailed information about events and recovery schedules. information geared to society as a whole is provided for mass media outlets by CTEEP's press office and posted on the Company's website.

The Company offers maintenance teams regular training about the PAE procedures and communication initiatives.

In 2013, the Company tapped into its expertise to manage crises, especially to overcome the challenges posed by an accident with a vessel that collided with a double-circuit structure of the 440-kV Ilha Solteira/Bauru line, on the Tietê River, in the city of Birigui. The collision damaged seven transmission towers, and two circuits of the line had to be shut off. The repair works required careful planning to mitigate the impact of the event on SIN, comply with the regulatory deadlines for repair to ensure exemption from the Variable Portion and seek compensation for the extraordinary costs from the owner of the vessel that caused the accident.
