Erosion Processes Program
The construction and operation of Copel GeT’s generation and transmission projects may result in changes to the land associated with natural and human-induced factors, such as land exposure, drainage systems, access roads, reservoir banks, structural foundations, substations, and areas adjacent to the assets. To protect soil and water resources, prevent the silting up of rivers […]
Environmental Emergencies Program
Copel GeT’s power generation and transmission projects may be subject to emergency situations with potential socio-environmental impacts, such as oil or chemical spills, incidents at reservoirs, substations, dams, and conservation areas, accidents in the vicinity of the projects, and events that may affect communities, fauna, flora, water resources, or the operation of the assets. To […]
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Program
Copel GeT’s power generation and transmission projects interact with various ecosystems and may affect wildlife, flora, water resources, protected areas, and associated ecosystem services. To organize and improve the management of this information and these actions, the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Program is implemented, focusing on biodiversity conservation, the consolidation of data generated by the […]
Cultural Heritage and Archaeology Program
Copel GeT’s power generation and transmission projects may be located in areas where protected cultural assets — including archaeological, historical, landscape, tangible, and intangible heritage — may be present or are likely to be found. To assess, prevent, and manage potential impacts on these assets within the projects’ areas of influence, the Cultural Heritage Management […]
Ichthyofauna Program
Copel GeT’s power generation projects interact directly or indirectly with the ichthyofauna—that is, with the fish communities found in rivers, reservoirs, and other aquatic environments within the influence of the power plants. With the goal of reducing environmental risks and impacts, supporting species conservation, and complying with legal and environmental licensing requirements, the Ichthyofauna Program […]
Wildlife Monitoring Program
Fauna monitoring programs aim to study the animal groups that occur in a given region over time, providing relevant information on their biology, behavior, abundance and diversity, among other data. Copel Geração e Transmissão carries out Fauna Monitoring Programs in accordance with the requirements of the environmental licensing process. In this context, it contributes to […]
Forest Compensation Program
The Forest Compensation Program was developed based on prior requirements for establishing planning and management of activities, seeking continuous improvement of the process, with the following objectives: To comply with legal regulations, Forest Compensation Programs and other requirements related to the allocation and/or forest recovery of areas that aim to compensate for the impacts of […]
Environmental Education Program
Environmental education and communication The characteristics of the projects and the social and environmental programs carried out by Copel are presented at meetings, when relevant or requested by the community. This interaction generates reports on compliance with the environmental licensing process. Also in compliance with the licensing process, the communities take part in environmental education […]
Riparian Forests
Copel has 9,700 hectares of Permanent Preservation Areas – PPAs around its reservoirs, which have been managed since 2005 by the Ciliar Forests Subprogram. In the implementation of hydroelectric power plants, with the filling of reservoirs, previously anthropized and altered areas become APPs, requiring actions to protect and restore the native vegetation cover. The objective […]
Wildlife Fauna Program in Facilities
The Wild Fauna in Facilities Program aims to diagnose possible problems related to the presence of wild fauna in Copel’s projects, such as the presence of bees, birds and reptiles. This program produces guidelines based on current legislation for the correct handling of animals and prepares the planning to enable any management actions that may […]
