Companhia Paranaense de Energia (COPEL) is an integrated Brazilian electric utility operating across the full electricity value chain, including generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization.

It also constructs and maintains transmission infrastructure including substations and power lines.
Founded in 1954 and headquartered in Curitiba, COPEL has been listed on the NYSE under the ticker ELPC since a December 2023 listing. As an integrated electric utility, its business model combines regulated activities (transmission and distribution, typically subject to concession agreements and tariff regulation) with competitive generation and energy trading operations.
