2 GENERATION FACILITIES CESP Companhia Energética de São Paulo has five hydroelectric power plants operating in price system and a power plant, Três Irmãos, which from April 18, 2013 is being operated temporally in the quota system. Both operations totaled 57 generating units, add up 7,457.3 MW of installed capacity and MW average of physically guaranteed energy, representing 6% and 5%, respectively, of Brazil s installed capacity and physically guaranteed energy supply. The hydroelectric plants are distributed between two hydrographic basins, that of the Rio Paraná in the West of the state of São Paulo and the basin of the Rio Paraíba do Sul, in the Eastern region of the state. Below the main data for the Generation Facilities plants are presented: Power Plants Date of Conclusion Generating Units Installed Capacity (MW) Physical Guarantee (Average MW) End of Concessions llha Solteira , , /7/2015 Jupiá , /7/2015 Porto Primavera , , /21/2028 Paraibuna /9/2021 Jaguari /20/2020 Total 52 6, ,698.5 Trës Irmãos* /18/2011 Total 57 7, ,916.0 * The Company believes that since CESP has not accepted the conditons proposed by Provisional Measure no. 579 (subsequently passed into Law no , of 1/14/2013), the Licensing Power took measures to revert the concession back to the Union. Thus, since April 18, 2013, CESP no longer detains the plant under the price exploration regime, now operating it on a temporary and provisional basis in a quota regime. As per the terms of the CESP Concession Contract, upon extinction of the concession, the Company has the right to compensation for those assets still not amortized. According to its records, the Company claims compensation for R$ 3,529.1 million, which refers to the Três Irmãos Hydroelectric Plant. For the Licensing Power, this compensation is worth R$ 1,717.4 million and CESP should seek its rights in court, if necessary. PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC ENERGY In the first quarter of 2014, electricity production from CESP Generating Park (disconsidering Três Irmãos Power Plant) reached 9,121 GWh, 4.6% above the same period in

SALES? CESP s clients are: (i) the electrical energy distributors in the country which purchase their energy through long term agreements, in auctions in the regulated market; (ii) the traders and free consumers who acquire their energy through public offers in short, medium and long term bilateral agreements. CESP sells its net physically guaranteed energy supply in the following environments: Free Contracting Market ACL: by way of Agreements for Purchase and Sale of Energy (CCVEs) for short, medium and long terms, with volumes, prices and conditions negotiated with selling companies and with free consumers. Regulated Contracting Market ACR: through power purchase auctions organized by ANEEL Electric Energy National Agency, conducted through the CCEE to serve the distributors. Electric Energy Trading Board CCEE: in which the differences between energy produced, physically guaranteed and contracted are booked and liquidated, in which the differences between energy produced, physically guaranteed and contracted are booked and liquidated, partly to meet the ERM Energy Reallocation Mechanism to regulated tariffs that only cover the variable costs of power generation, and partly as waste products and secondary energy, the prices for Settlement of Differences PLD, cleared in CCEE. Furthermore, CESP is operating, on a temporary basis, the Três Irmãos plant, which has provided its energy in a Quota Regime since 4/18/

4 REVENUE Energy Sales Revenue in 1T14 increased by 43.2%, reaching R$1.8 billion, the main highlight being the Short-Term Market (PLD), with a variation of 108.8%. The increase was primarily due to the higher volume of non-contracted energy, settled at PLD prices, which were slightly higher this quarter, compared to 1Q13.

REVENUE BREAKDOWN In the first quarter of 2014, the revenues resulting from electric energy sales in the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR) corresponded to 20.8%, in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) to 31.7% and in the Electric Energy Commercialization Chamber (CCEE) was 47.5%. 1Q14 1Q % 20.8% 32.5% 31.9% 31.7% 35.6% Regulated Market - ACR Free Market - ACL Spot Energy - CCEE The change in the profile of revenue distribution is a reflection of the best prices in the Short-Term Market (PLD) and the greater amount of energy traded in this segment compared to 1Q13. 4

5 Free Contracting Market ACL The share of Free Contracting Market ACL in the quarter was 31.7% and totaled R$ million. The volume of energy intended for the ACL amounted to 4,606 GWh, representing a share of 52.2% in the amount of electricity sold in the quarter. Regulated Contracting Market ACR The share of revenues in this environment was 20.8% in this quarter, reaching R$ million. The volume of energy sent to the ACR totaled 2,291 GWh, which represents a share of 25.9 % of the total sold in contracts for the quarter. Spot Market In this quarter, the revenues obtained by the company in CCEE, including the Energy Reallocation Mechanism (MRE) and the Spot Market (PLD) was R$ million, a share of 47.5% in total revenues. The volume traded in this environment in the 1Q14 was 1,933 GWh or 21.9% of the total volume sold. In the 1Q14, the PLD price average in the CCEE was R$ , compared to R$ in the 1Q13. DEDUCTIONS TO REVENUE In the 1Q14 Deductions from Revenues represented 8.7% of Gross Operating Revenues and totaled R$161.6 million. In the 1Q13, Deductions from Revenues amounted to R$142.9 million, 11.1% of Gross Operating Revenue. Deductions from Operating Revenues - R$ '000 1Q14 1Q13 Chg.

The proportional reduction in the Deductions to the Revenue of 2.4 p.p. in gross revenue in 1Q14 over 1Q13 is explained by RGR, which was collected in 1Q13 based on an estimative, given that ANEEL only set the amount to be collected in September 2013, and also due to increased revenues from CCEE, which have PIS/COFINS at a lower rate. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating Expenses in the first quarter of 2014 totaled R$ million, 6.3% lower than the same period of 2013, representing 23.1% of Net Revenues, a decrease of 13.6 p.p. Factors that contributed to this reduction: (i) a decrease in depreciation revenue following the end of the economic exploitation of HPP Três Irmãos by the price regime; (ii) Outsourced Services expenditure reduction by 11.1% and Personnel expenditure at 8.1%. On the other hand, there was the constitution 5

6 of a provision of R$6.3 million for the Retirement Incentive Program (PIA), with the adhesion of 54 employees. On the other hand, expenditures have increased due to: (i) Compensation for the use of water resources, as a consequence of increased electricity production, and (ii) charges for the use of the transmission system, with higher tariff.
