2021, approved, according to Article 152 of the Brazilian Corporation Law no. 6,404/1976, the annual compensation for the year 2021 of
the members of the Company&rsquo;s Chief Officers, Members of the Board of Directors, Supervisory Board and Members of the Statutory Boards,
which, following the same procedures used in the previous year, took into consideration the compensation of the previous fiscal year,
without any increase.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">The review and improvement of the compensation
guidelines for members of the Company's statutory bodies, however, is fundamental to the extent that attracting and retaining appropriately
qualified professionals is necessary to preserve and optimize the Company's long-term economic value, and is therefore in line with Copel's
directive to adopt the best corporate governance practices.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">In this sense, the Company's new Bylaws,
approved on March 11, 2021, at the 201st Extraordinary General Meeting, among other changes, enabled to provide for the possibility of
creating 3 (three) new statutory committees in order to improve and strengthen Copel's corporate governance system. To the Sustainable
Development Committee - CDS was assigned the responsibility of analyzing, evaluating and recommending improvements and strategic guidelines
for the compensation programs for executives and directors, in accordance with the internal regulations approved at the 215th Ordinary
Meeting of the Board of Directors held on June 16, 2021.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">In view of the above, a survey was carried
out, with the support of a specialized external consulting firm, which encompassed the remuneration and practices of the Board of Directors
and Supervisory Board, as well as of the Statutory Committees, with the objective of verifying the practices of the electric power sector
and of national public and private companies similar in size to the Company. As a result of the work, it was identified the need to review
the compensation of the members of the various statutory bodies of the Company, as well as the respective chairmen of the Boards and Committees,
adjusting their fees.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">This study was submitted to the Sustainable
Development Committee - CDS for evaluation. At its 2nd Meeting, on July 02, 2021, CDS evaluated and discussed the matter and sent the
proposal for revision of the compensation of the Company's statutory bodies to the Board of Directors, with a favorable recommendation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">The Board of Directors, at its 216th

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">Thus, the Company proposes to revise
the annual global compensation limit for the Members of the Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, and of Statutory Committees, for the
