Ref.: Calling BM&FBOVESPA GAE 3795-13
Dear Sirs,
In light of Calling BM&FBOVESPA GAE 3795-13, sent to CESP - Companhia Energética
de São Paulo (“Company”) on October 14, 2013 (“Calling”), we present the following
clarifications about the linked news in the “Agência Estado – Broadcast”, also dated October
14, 2013, under the title “CESP poderia ser minoritária em novos projetos, diz secretário
José Aníbal” [CESP may be minority in new projects, says secretary José Aníbal] (“News”):
I. Calling
“Dear Sirs,
In News published by the Agência Estado - Broadcast, on 10/14/2013, it states, among other
information, that CESP had R$ 600 million profit in the first semester and should have that
much or more in the second semester.
We request clarification on that news by 10/15/2013, as well as other information deemed
important.
(...)”
II. Clarifications
First, we clarify the Company's results for the first semester of 2013, totaling R$ 603.3
million, has been widely disclosed in the quarterly information disclosed by the Company
through the system Empresas.Net and there is no novelty in this respect.

- 02 With regard to information on the repetition of this performance by the Company in the
second semester, it should be noted that the comments attributed to Mr. José Aníbal Peres
de Pontes, Secretary of Energy of the State of São Paulo were extracted from an informal
chat with reporters after a lecture given by him at the headquarters of the Commercial
Association of São Paulo (ACSP) (“Conversation”) to address the possibility of the Company
participating in the development of renewable energy generation.
In this case, the comment was made in the context of response to questions about the
Company's ability to eventually participate in new projects, where Mr. José Aníbal noted the
outcome of the first semester and exemplified that upon reaching approximately R$ 600
million profit in the first semester, the Company could repeat the same number in the second
semester, being notorious that the numbers were mentioned just to give an idea of the size
of the Company and not to make projections about its results.
Thus, we clarify that the comments made to Agência Estado - Broadcast are based on
personal and individual expectations of Mr. José Aníbal and should not be interpreted or
understood as projections or growth estimates disclosed by the Company.
Finally, CESP would like to emphasize that it has chosen not to disclose projections and
estimates regarding its operations and results, in accordance with Article 20 of CVM
Instruction 480/09, and neither intends to continue not performing nor to disclose such
projections and estimates.
With that which we needed to present, we take the opportunity to consign our high ratings of
esteem and consideration, remaining available to provide any additional information that may
be necessary.
Sincerely,
Almir Fernando Martins
