Concession Renewal Issue

Different methodologies for Generation, Transmission and Distribution

Generation:— Re-auction of the assets?— Low price cap or UBP?— Impacts on free and captive markets unknown depending on the proposed solution— Probable scenario: renewal of the concessions with low fee (political solution)

Transmission:— Probable scenario: renewal with full tariff process for all revenues (as opposed to

today’s regulatory framework that only applies to investments made after 1999)— RAP decrease by about 30% (real terms) in 2015 to adjust revenues to full tariff

revision

Distribution:— Probable scenario: concession renewal— Regulatory framework for tariff revisions already implemented (return on RAB)

Consolidation process

Most straightforward M&A already made: Cemar, Elektro, small independent distributors

Remaining companies are mostly financially sound (net debt/EBITDA less than 2.0x), limiting need for cash inflow

Smaller deals at competitive prices (at low implied IRR – strategic players willing to invest at rate of returns below 10% for existing assets)

Potential opportunities among small companies with good pipeline of projects and lack of access to capital

Big assets for sale: CESP and Brasiliana?

New energy auctions

Another thermal auctions (A-3 and A-5)

Lack of competitive supply (gas, fuel oil)

Coal should be the winner. In 2009, scenario should change

Lack of hydro power plant projects to increase thermal generation in future auctions

Lack of reservoirs translating into more volatility to spot prices

Energy reserve: the federal government’s solution for reducing higher volatility? It seems so.

Eletrobras’s role

Improving corporate governance?

ADR listing closer than before

New investments centralized at the holding level: — Mitigates risk of unrealistic / unsustainable low required rate of

returns— Reduces internal struggles between subsidiaries

Internationalization:— Not an easy path: Bolivia to invest alone… Peru reluctant to allow

investments, etc…— Need of bi-national treaties

Improvements in the federalized companies?— Single management structure for all distribution companies— Goal to eliminate cash drag in about 1-1.5 year

Price Signals

Tight supply/demand scenario already driving energy prices up

LT energy prices in the free market are already above those of regulated market.

New energy auctions pointing to prices around R$130/MWh (understated in our view on unrealistic fuel cost for thermal plants).

Upside risk on upcoming auctions as fuel costs are adjusted and lower competitiveness for fuel oil thermal plants.

Electricity Supply: Which Sources?

Page 20: Utilities Sector Pedro BatistaEduardo Haiama, CFARafael Espírito Santo Strategist AnalystAnalyst +5521 3262 9849 +5521 3262 9655 +5521 3262 8636 pedro.batista@ubs.com.

20

Energy Supply: Which Sources?

Challenging supply scenario => higher energy prices:

Lack of new hydro power projects. Only Rio Madeira so far (slightly above 1-year demand growth). It might take many years to approve new projects. Rising transmission and environmental costs to increase marginal cost of new power plants.

Gas supply issues. Problems with Bolivian supply and high demand growth to limit gas availability to thermal plants. LNG supply does not seem a feasible alternative. Recent gas crisis to benefit other energy sources such as coal.

Coal. Abundant commodity in the world and more stable prices (than oil and gas). Main problem is logistics for imported coal (plant sites).

Nuclear. High cost and even more difficult to approve environmental licenses. Angra III should provide only 1,350 MW of installed capacity.

Fuel oil / Diesel. Competitiveness in recent auctions reduced, as the federal government changed methodology for ICB (cost benefit for thermal capacity).

21

Energy Supply: Alternatives Sources of Energy? PCH (small hydro power plants). Competitive prices with subsidies (TUSD/TUST

discount, lower regulatory fees and tax rate) but with increasing costs for greenfield projects and acquisitions. On top of that, Aneel is changing regulatory framework for authorization process that creates uncertainty to the development of some projects. Estimated feasible capacity expansion around 5,000MW.

Biomass. After hydro power plants, it is the most preferred source of energy by the federal government. The economics are interesting (especially for greenfield projects). Problems are firm supply of bagasse for 15 years, connection to the grid and lack of equipments in the short-term. Total supply could reach 10,000avg. MW (considering retrofit projects). Same regulatory / fiscal benefits as PCHs. Last auction for energy reserve was a failure and only contracted 548 avg. MW of an estimated demand of 1,500-2,000 avg. MW.

Wind power. Least preferred source of energy by the federal government (after fuel oil). Potential supply of 70GW but still too many uncertainties on the demand side. Only feasible with federal auctions that should occur in 2009. Other bottleneck is the current high price of EPC in the country.

22

Alternatives – Hydro

Undergoing feasibility studies by the federal government.

No environmental license yet (only Rio Madeira so far) and it might be difficult to obtain (Amazon region or Indian territories) => more costly.

New power plants should have lower assured capacity (lack of reservoirs)

Location of new power plants far away from consumption sites (higher transmission costs).

Optimistically, new plants might be offered in 2009/2010

So far, most of power plants were mostly allocated to regulated market.

Alternatives - Hydro

Rio Madeira – Not an indication for long-term prices

Not sufficient to cover demand growth. — Assured capacity of Santo Antonio and Jirau should be ~4,000 avg. MW over 4 to

5 years (versus an annual demand growth of about 3,000 avg. MW)—not to mention potential delays in construction schedule

– Tucuruí hydro plant took ~10 years to be constructed – Initial budget of US$4.2 billion increased to US$7.5 billion at the end of the

work– Flooded area, initially estimated in 1,630 km2 was actually 2.850 km2, with

a significant environmental impact

Price cap distorted by high assured energy capacity— Load factor of about 70% (vs. Brazilian average of about 55%), although run-of-

river with no reservoir. — Assuming load factor of 55%, cap would increase to R$153/MWh

Rising energy price for captive consumers— Auctions already contracted 3,320 MW of hydro at above R$130/MWh and 6,368

MW of thermal at prices above R$135/MWh— Considering R$110/MWh for Rio Madeira, weighted average price is R$126/MWh

(which we believe is conservative)— New thermal plants should be dispatched more often than current official

simulation (around 5% of the time) and at a cost higher than initially expected.

Alternatives – Natural Gas As an alternative for gas supply, Petrobras is implementing two LNG regasification

units in Brazil to attend the existing gas power plants

We believe the country still faces some difficulties in securing gas supply in the long run. Besides just supplying the thermal plants, LNG should also be used to reduce the dependence on Bolivian supply

We foresee limited availability of this fuel for thermal generation in Brazil, considering:

— Challenges in growing domestic gas production— Suppliers’ political instability (Bolivia, Argentina)— Increasing demand for industrial use of natural gas,

Transmission

Clear and stable regulatory framework attracted private investments to the segment

First auctions (2000-2001) presented low or no discount to maximum revenues— Real IRR to Equity above 20%

Entrance of new players, particularly Spanish and construction companies increased competition in the segment

— Higher discounts— Lower returns (as low as 5%)

How to Evaluate a Distribution Company?

The best proxy to evaluate a distribution company is to compare it to a FRN (floating-rate note) which has coupons “reseted” every 4/5 years.

Main factors are:– Regulatory Asset Base (RAB)— Regulatory WACC — Reference Costs— X Factor

The main difference is the possibility of obtaining higher or lower returns than the coupon due to the real performance compared to the reference company.

Regulatory EBITDA x Real

Until now companies EBITDA drop indicate an average of 30% to 40%.

Despite that, most of results were relatively more predictable.

Most companies still trading at EV/RAB of 1.0x-2.0x after the tariff revision process.

What can be different from our forecasts?— Higher / Lower demand growth— Better other revenues => key example is Coelce— Better or worse manageable expenses— Better or worse energy losses / delinquency rate— Different mix of clients (average tariff)— Sharper drop in regulatory WACC in the future (after the

investment grade received by the country)
