Accounting Policy Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the assets and the costs required to bring the assets to the condition necessary for them to be capable of operating as intended. Subsequently, property, plant and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, when identified (see Note 19). Property, plant and equipment items mainly relate to the Company’s electricity generation infrastructure under its concession arrangements. Depreciation of these assets commences when they are available for use and is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives of each asset, considering the residual values at the end of the concession periods. The Company adopts the depreciation rates determined by ANEEL, as it considers that the useful lives estimated by the regulatory authority are appropriate for its assets, applying the annual depreciation rates for assets related to the electricity sector as established in the Electricity Sector Asset Control Manual (MCPSE). Assets linked to concessions that do not provide for indemnification at the end of the contractual term are depreciated over the concession or authorization period. The Company’s electricity transmission infrastructure is not classified as property, plant and equipment due to the contractual characteristics of the concession arrangements. Rights to consideration arising from the construction of transmission assets are recognized under “Contractual Transmission Asset” (see Note 10).
