CPFL Energia reported a net profit of R$ 1,4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, a 21,3% increase compared to the same period last year. In the first half of the year, the result reached R$ 3,34 billion, a growth of 19,5%.

Despite the improvement in consolidated results, the power generation and management segment continues to be impacted by... curtailment, as the generation restrictions determined by the ONS (National System Operator) are known.
The company indicated that it intends to adhere to the commitment agreement related to financial compensation for generation cuts that occurred before November 2025.
The mechanism was recently regulated by the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) and establishes procedures for handling losses related to generation restrictions eligible for compensation. According to the company, curtailment remains among the main issues monitored by the company.
