AES Eletropaulo is also planning new

project analysis will be introduced in 2007, which
will mean a new cycle for the Company. This will
certainly bring returns for shareholders.
In 2007, AES Eletropaulo will be one of
the first Brazilian companies to have a second

its processes, assessment methods and the

to manage and reduce costs as well as increase

better logistics and the use of innovative methods,
