ENERGY MARKET

The energy sold by the CPFL group through the distribution and commercialization segments to the end-customer totaled 10,150 GWh for the 4Q05 and 38,357 GWh over 2005, representing respective increases of 5.8% and 4.7% . Largely responsible for this growth are the residential and commercial classes with respective increases of 6.1% and 6.0 % in 4Q05 and 5.8% and 7.8% in 2005, owing to improvements in employment levels and earning power and to higher seasonal temperatures.

Energy Sales Evolution

Owing to the evolution of verified sales over the period, the customer mix of the consolidated group was subjected to alterations, including in the decrease in the participation of the industrial class from 49.8% in 2004 to 47.0% in 2005, resulting in the increase of the other classes.

It should be emphasized that the demand from the concession area (load) for the CPFL Group distributors presented growth of 2.1% for the 4Q05 and 4.6% in 2005, which surpassed the São Paulo State average of 3.8% in 2005.

CPFL Brasil played an important role in energy sales, especially to the free market which totaled 2,222 GWh for the 4Q05 and 6,862 GWh in 2005, to the free market; growth of 113.6% and 113.8%, respectively.

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Gross Revenue

Gross operating revenue for the 4Q05 was R$ 2.9 billion and R$ 10.9 billion over 2005, representing growth of 13.3% and 14.2% respectively.

The main contributing factors for this growth at CPFL Energia and its subsidiaries were:

8

Cost of Energy Service

The cost of electric energy service which is comprised of (i) cost of purchased energy and (ii) overheads for the use of the system, totaled R$ 990.6 million for the 4Q05 and R$ 3.932 billion in 2005, representing increases of 2.7% e 3.4% respectively. The main variations for the 4Q05 and for the year 2005 are listed below:

Costs and Operating Expenses

Costs and operating expenses for the 4Q05 registered R$ 674.7 million and R$ 2.047 billion for the year 2005, respective increases of 79.8% and 23.0% . The principal contributing factors to these variations can be examined in the table below:

• Manageable costs – Personnel, Material, Outsourced Services and Others.

Manageable costs reached R$ 237.2 million for the 4Q05 and R$ 837.2 million in 2005, representing respective increases of 10.5% and de 6.1% .

These variations, which were inferior to revenue growth, were the result of the continuity of the cost control program, management of expenses and the harnessing of operational synergies within the group companies.

9

• Private Pension Fund

Costs and expenses relating to the private pension fund in the 4Q05 were R$ 22.4 million and over the year 2005 totaled R$ 89.6 million, an increase of 143.9% for the 4T05 and a reduction of 40.7% for 2005.

The reduction over 2005 reflects the actuarial calculation adjustment based on premise revisions, such as mortality tables and the effect of raised income expectation on plan assets, which occurred after 4Q04.

However, the increase observed in 4Q05 was a result of the significant reduction registered in the 4Q04 owing to the acknowledgment of these due adjustments at the time, which refer to the year 2004.

Additionally, in accordance with instruction CVM 371 of 2001, there is a further extraordinary expenditure of R$ 8.1 million for 4T05 and R$ 32.6 million over 2005. This item corresponds to an actuarial accounting deficit prior to the year 2001, which will be accounted over a period of 5 years starting in 2002.

The Private Pension Fund total cost, i.e., costs and operating expenses together with the extraordinary item amounted to R$ 34.7 million for the 4Q05 and R$ 138.9 million over 2005, representing an increase of 49.6% in the 4Q05, owing to the adjustments mentioned above, and an overall reduction of 31.3% in 2005.

• Incorporated Goodwill Amortization

This item totaled R$ 2.0 million in the 4Q05 and R$ 8.1 million in 2005, presenting a reduction of 104.2% and 23% respectively, which contributed in maintaining operational expenses at lower levels than those registered in the 4T04 and in 2004.

This reduction is a result of the application of instructions CVM 319 and 349 as from December 2004 at CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga, generating a reflex premium for their respective controllers (CPFL Energia and CPFL Paulista), which in turn was amortized as a financial expense. The current amortization balance refers to the goodwill amortization of RGE.

• CCC and CDE Subsidies

CCC and CDE subsidies totaled R$ 192.1 million for the 4Q05 and R$ 665.3 million in 2005, respective increases of 52.4% and 52.6%, due to contribution adjustments.

These costs are determined by the regulatory body ANEEL and their impact is neutralized on the balance sheet due to the CVA registry mechanism which compensates the shortfall in the subsequent tariff readjustment.

10

• Registered Adjustments in the 4Q05

1. Energy Efficiency Program and R&D

Due to changes in accounting criteria for the programs of Energy Efficiency and R&D caused by the application of resolution ANEEL nº 176 of December 15^th 2005, as from 4Q05 these registries will now be accounted for in the act of billing and not at implementation, which will generate the following modifications:

2. RTE^(*) and Free Energy Losses

The stipulated time frame to realize RTE assets, which was 72 months for CPFL Paulista and 61 months for CPFL Piratininga as from January 2002 will not be sufficient for the recovery of registered assets, and for this reason provision has been made for losses amounting to R$ 84.9 million in 2005, accounted for as operational expenses.

As with RTE, RGE and CPFL Geração also constituted an operational expense of R$ 6.9 million as a result of losses in the realization of Free Energy assets.

Therefore, in consideration to the above, an additional operational expense has been acknowledged for 2005 in the amount of R$ 91.8 million.

Currently, RTE is charged on the captive consumer tariffs. However, although considered on the RTE calculation base, consumers who opt for the free market are not charged for this amount. ANEEL has already intimated through the official circular nº 2,218, its intention to levy this fee on free market consumers. If this should occur then the distributors will be able to redeem the funds reserved.

11

Income from Electric Energy Service

The results for income from electric energy service in 4Q05 totaled R$ 394.4 million and R$ 1,760.2 million for 2005, representing respectively a reduction of 19.2% and an increase of 38.8% . The positive evolution in 2005 is owed to the following factors:

The reduction in the income from electric energy service observed in 4Q05 was a result of the increase in expenses/costs with the private pension fund, together with the increase in other operational costs generated by the non-recourse register in 4Q05 related to RTE and Free Energy losses.

EBITDA

Consolidated EBITDA was R$ 488.6 million in 4Q05 and R$ 2.120 billion in 2005, which corresponds to a reduction of 5.1% and an increase of 26.1%, respectively.

The 26.1% increase over 2005 is due basically to the growth of 14.2% in revenue, without the equivalent increase in costs, as can be seen in the graph below. The negative variation of 5.1% in the 4Q05 can be attributed to the non-recourse adjustments of R&D, RTE and Free Energy considered as operational expense.

12

EBITDA is a calculation made from the sum of net income, taxes net financial result of interest on capital, depreciation, amortization, private pension fund and other adjustments relating to extraordinary items and non-recourse transactions when applicable.

Financial Result

The financial result, composed of a net financial expense of R$ 141.4 million for 4Q05 and R$ 329.3 million over 2005, demonstrated respective reductions of 63.4% and 51.4% . These reductions can be attributed to the following factors:

• Update of RTE and Free Energy:

In accordance with the ANEEL directive nº 2,212, of December 2005, and nº 74, of January 2006, the distributors CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga started to remunerate 90% of RTE assets by the monthly index Selic + 1% p.a., whereas the previous rate was Selic of BACEN +1% p.a. The remaining 10% will continue to be remunerated by Selic of BACEN.

This adjustment of the RTE will generate consolidated financial revenue of R$ 56.0 million due to the increase of RTE assets in 4Q05.

The same criteria of remuneration were also established for the assets of Free Energy registered at CPFL Geração and RGE, generating additional consolidated financial revenue of R$ 6.1 million.

Financial revenue created by this criteria adjustment totalized R$ 62.1 million for the group.

13

Net Income

The net income of R$ 380.7 million for the 4Q05 and R$ 1.021 billion in 2005, represented increases of 137.8% and 266.2% respectively, and were a direct consequence of EBITDA increase combined with the noted improvement in the financial results as can be noticed in the graph bellow.

It’s important to mention the registry of R$ 72 million at CPFL Energia which refers to the constitution of fiscal credits stemming from the perspective of future generation of income tax and social contribution.

INDEBTEDNESS

The group financial debt showed a reduction of 1.3% at the end of 2005, compared to the same period of the previous year, totaling R$ 4.9 billion.

14

Emphasis should be given to the improvement of the debt profile. The actions initiated in early 2004 permitted an improvement in the main indicators, including cost reduction.

This positive evolution contributed to the elevation of the company rating to BrA+ as analysed by Standard & Poors and divulged in January 2006.

In December 2004, BNDES approved the participation of CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga in the program of expansion and modernization of the electric system (FINEM), enabling access to credits of R$ 241 million and R$ 89 million respectively, indexed to the TJLP on 6 year terms. In 2005, CPFL Paulista obtained the first three installments totaling R$ 139 million. Over the same period four installments were released for CPFL Piratininga totaling R$ 66 million.

In April 2005 ENERCAN, a company in which CPFL Geração owns 48.72% stock, received the approval for a US$ 75 million loan from the Interamerican Development Bank (BID), for the purpose of financing the Campos Novos Hydroelectric plant. Of the total contracted, two installments have been released totaling US$ 60 million.

In December 2005 CPFL Piratininga received a R$ 300 million short term credit line indexed by CDI. This loan was liquidated in February 2006 with part of the funds raised from the emission of R$ 400 million in subordinated debentures with a five year maturity. The instrument will yield 104% of the CDI and should be amortized in two installments, the first being on January 1, 2010 and the second on January 1, 2011.

The company RGE closed the year 2005 with financial debt of R$ 633 million, practically stable in relation to the consolidated financial debt balance of 2004. Of the R$ 284 millions released in new loans in 2005, the emission of R$ 230 million in debentures stands out, which permits the extension of the debt profile. This emission was made in two stages; the first in the amount of R$ 204 million, indexed to CDI and due April 2009, and another in the amount of R$ 26 million indexed to IGP-M, due April 2011.

15

As noted in previous periods, the improvement in debt profile is also a consequence of index composition such as the increase of debt harnessed to the TJLP originated from the release of funds from FINEM and financings obtained for plant construction, a reduction in exposure to CDI owing to relevant amortizations at the distributors of R$ 354 million related to the loan from BNDES which refers to RTE/CVA, the amortizations at CPFL Paulista of R$ 151 million with reference to debentures and finally the amortizations of R$ 152 million, relating to the Floating Rate Notes.

16

The balance of adjusted net debt calculated as total debt (loans and financing plus private pension fund cost) excluding regulatory assets / CVA and available cash flow, showed a decrease of 0.6% in 2005, totaling R$ 3,705 million. The relationship net debt/EBITDA evolved positively, falling to 1.7 at the end of 2005, against 2.3 in the previous year.

CAPEX

In 2005 the CPFL Group invested R$ 626.5 million for the maintenance and expansion of business, of which R$ 368 million went to distribution, R$ 3.5 million to commercialization and R$ 254.9 million for generation.

The main investments made by CPFL Energia over the last years have been concentrated on the following items:

• Distribution Segment: R$ 202 million was invested in distribution mainly on expansion of the electrical system to accompany the consumer market growth of 141,000 customers in 2005. Additionally, R$ 166 million was invested in maintenance and improvements of the electric system, operational infrastructure, operational support systems and in the R&D program. This year should highlight the conclusion of the implantation of the project GIS-D, Integrated Management of the Distribution System, to give support for distribution activity processes, and also the restructuring and modernization of customer service channels at CPFL Piratininga.

• Commercialization Segment: The improvement of management systems and risk portfolio;

• Generation Segment: Investments were made principally for the construction projects – Complexo Ceran. Barra Grande, Campos Novos, (R$ 244 million), and other investments (R$ 11 million), which covers the acquisition of four PCH’s in Rio Grande do Sul and the repowering of PCH Gavião Peixoto.

17

During the next 5 years CPFL Energia has plans to invest R$ 3.5 billion, of which 83% is earmarked for expansion.

PERFORMANCE OF BUSINESSES UNITS

Distribution Segment

Gross Revenue

Gross operating revenue totaled R$ 2.7 billion in 4Q05 and R$ 10.1 billion in 2005, an increase of 10.2% and 11.4% respectively. Among the main contributing factors for this performance were the distributor tariff adjustments and revisions - CPFL Paulista and RGE with respective gains of 17.74% ⁽¹⁾ and 21.93%, in April 2005 and CPFL Piratininga with 1.54% ⁽²⁾ in October 2005, besides the revenue increase for the use of the electricity network (TUSD) of 108.2% for the 4Q05 and 118.0% in 2005.

18

Furthermore, the reduction of commercial losses at CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga which are now at the levels of 2.61% and 1.80% respectively have contributed to additional revenue of R$ 78 million in 2005.

The increase in revenue would have been higher, had it not been for some captive customers migrating to the category of free customers, which provoked a drop in industrial class sales of 23.9% for the 4Q05 and 20.7% over 2005, with the consequent reduction of sales volume of 7.7% in 4Q05 and 6.2% in 2005.

Sales Comparison

Owing to the evolution of verified sales over the period, the customer mix of the consolidated group was subjected to alterations, including in the decrease in the participation of the industrial class from 45.6% in 2004 to 38.5% in 2005, in compensation there was an increase in the other classes.

19

In the distribution segment, the migration of customers to the free market has had its effect partially compensated in the final balance due to the extra revenue generated from TUSD of R$ 138.7 million in the 4Q05 and R$ 472,6 million in 2005, respective increases of 108.2% and 118%.

The energy consumed by free customers in the distributor’s concession area totaled 1,934 GWh in the 4Q05 and 7,013 GWh in 2005, representing an increase of 90.0% and 113.3%, respectively.

Sales Comparison TUSD⁽¹⁾

Considering the consolidated sales⁽¹⁾ in the group distributor’s concession area (captive customers + free customers), the increase in sales would be 2.1% in the 4Q05 and 4.6% in 2005.

20

•     Distributors readjustments and tariff revisions

In consequence of the total liabilities generated at CPFL Piratininga by the tariff revision of 2003, definitively approved in October 2005, a loss of R$ 3.1 million in the 4Q05 and R$ 31.8 million in 2005 was acknowledged.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the distribution segment was R$ 352.9 million in the 4Q05 and R$ 1.595 billion in 2005, presenting a reduction of 17.5% and an increase of 23.2% respectively. This annual performance can be attributed to the following factors:

The reduction of 17.5% in the 4Q05 was basically caused by the non-recourse adjustments of operational expenses in the distributors relating to the provision of funds for the “Electrical Sector Program of Research and Development” and losses to the aforementioned RTE and Free Energy.

Net Income

Consolidated net income for the distribution segment reached R$ 254.7 million in the 4Q05 and R$ 755.8 million in 2005, registering growth of 15.9% and 134% respectively.
