CC0.1 Introduction
Founded in 1952 by then Governor of Minas Gerais state, Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira, Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig) provides the generation, transmission, commercialization and distribution of electricity, as well as providing energy solutions (Efficientia S.A.) and natural gas distribution (Gasmig). The group comprises: the holding company, Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig); two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. (Cemig GT) and Cemig Distribuição S.A. (Cemig D), and a group of other entities, comprising an overall total of 206 companies, 18 consortia and two private equity funds, with assets in 23 Brazilian states (including the Federal District) and in Chile. Since its founding, the company has contributed, in an innovative and sustainable manner, to the collective welfare of the regions where it operates. Cemig is Brazil’s largest electricity distributor in terms of the length of its transmission lines and extent of its networks, and one of the largest power generation and transmission companies in the country. It is also involved in natural gas exploration and distribution and data transmission operations (Cemig Telecom). Cemig owns a 26.06% stake in Light S.A., an electricity distributor with operations in 31 municipalities in the state of Rio de Janeiro, covering a region with a population of over 11 million people. It also has equity stakes in the transmission company Transmissora Aliança de Energia Elétrica S.A. (Taesa).
With a growth model increasingly focused on the use of renewable energy, between 2013 and 2014 Cemig became part of the controlling stockholding block (27.4%) of Renova, a leader in Brazil’s wind power market, which also has investments in solar and other renewable energy sources. The main objective in joining Renova’s controlling block was to use that company as Cemig’s vehicle for expansion in renewable energy sources (except hydroelectric).
Cemig is a mixed capital company controlled by the State of Minas Gerais (51%), with (at December 2014) more than 120,000 shareholders in 40 countries. Its shares are traded in São Paulo on the BM&FBovespa S.A., in New York on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and in Madrid on the Mercado de Valores Latino-Americanos (Latibex). In 2014 Cemig’s consolidated net operating revenues totalled R$ 19.54 billion, based on a matrix whose main source of energy are renewable resources.
Excluding power generated by Light, Cemig’s generation system has installed capacity of 7,435 MW, 94.85% of which is for hydroelectric generation, 2.47% for thermal generation (1.76% burning fuel oil and 0.71% burning process waste gas), and 2.68% for wind generation. These figures make Cemig one of the largest power generators in Brazil – operating 63 hydroelectric power plants, three thermoelectric facilities, and four wind farms. Adding the generating capacity represented by Cemig’s stakes in subsidiary and affiliated companies, such as Light, Cemig’s installed generation capacity totals 7,717 MW. The company has 9,748 km of transmission lines and 17,218 km of sub-transmission lines. And in electricity distribution, it provides supply to approximately 7.8 million people in 774 municipalities in Minas Gerais, managing Latin America’s largest electricity distribution network, with distribution lines totalling more than 484,000 km. At the end of 2014 Cemig directly employed 7,922 people.

Board of Directors or individual/group belonging to the Board or other committee appointed by the Board of Directors | Brazil | > 6 years | Cemig uses a tool for managing corporate risks that identifies strategic and process/operational risks, providing information to senior management for decision-making for managing the most relevant risks and, thereby, preserving the Company’s value.
The Executive Board maintains a Risk Management Steering Committee, which is focused on the efficient management of Cemig’s operational, commercial, financial and regulatory risks — especially industry issues related to tariff adjustments and hydrological constraints.
Strategic risks are related to the Company’s vision and objectives, or strategic decisions that bear the risk of not achieving planned outcomes.
Process/operational risks arise in the course of business functions associated with people, systems and processes upon which their operations depend. Cemig has a decentralized structure for the identification and management of climate change-related opportunities, which focuses on renewable energy and energy efficiency. | ||||

CC2.1b Please describe how your risk and opportunity identification processes are applied at both company and asset level.
Cemig considers strategic risks/opportunities to be those that can directly affect the company’s business, in other words, are those associated with senior management decision-making that could materially affect the Company’s economic value. Additionally, process risks/opportunities are considered to be those that can negatively or positively affect meeting the goals and implementing guidelines established in the Company’s Strategic Plan, identified in all processes in each business division—Sales/Trading, Generation, Transmission, Distribution, and Corporate.
Therefore, Cemig treats corporate level risks/opportunities as strategic risks/opportunities. This extends to subsidiaries and individual plants (i.e., asset level), since they encompass both strategic and process risks/opportunities.
Cemig continuously maps risks/opportunities, since updating the information in the Company’s management tool and monitoring and evaluating controls and action plans are part of the scheduled routines for all involved in risk management—meaning each agent has predetermined roles and responsibilities. This recently adopted tool raises the hierarchy level at which approval is required for the information gathered; previously, approval was at the Division (General Manager) level. Now, it is made at the Executive Board level.
In addition, the system enables risks/opportunities to be managed at the process level, which permits a direct link to risks under evaluation at the strategic level.
CC2.1c How do you prioritize the risks and opportunities identified?
Cemig uses scales to classify risks and opportunities according to their financial impact, intangible impact, probability of occurrence and relevance to the Company. Percentage estimates between each of the points for each of the scales are given. From these scales, Cemig prioritizes each risk, allowing for a hierarchy of risks within a risks/opportunities exposure matrix, which includes risks/opportunities surveyed throughout the process.
In addition, specifically for the “financial impact”, variable referenced above, which is used to define the position of a risk/opportunity in the exposure matrix, information regarding the financial implications of risks/opportunities, controls and measurements are fed into the system. The system then calculates the cost/return of an inherent risk/opportunity (i.e., without management action), the residual risk/opportunity (after the implementation of controls) and planned residual risk/opportunity (after the implementation of measures). This allows decision-making on priorities based on robust financial analyses of scenarios with and without the management of risks/opportunities.
In terms of opportunities, the major focus has been on the acquisition of renewable source assets. To this end, Cemig has adopted a structure for acquisitions through partnerships with strategic partners and investment funds. This establishes a growth vehicle that allows the Company, even with a minority stake, to establish a strategic and competitive position with those assets, combining its expertise with the partners’ financial capacity.

In mergers and acquisitions undertaken by Cemig, it is essential to carry out due diligence for evaluation, identification, measurement and management of each risk and contingency. It is a multidisciplinary activity and involves several knowledge areas – technical, environmental, legal, corporate, regulatory, real estate, accounting, tax, labour and financial. Thus, conducting due diligence is an indispensable tool for the investment as a Company’s growth strategy.
CC2.2 Is climate change integrated into your business strategy?
Yes.
If “Yes”:
CC2.2a Please describe the process of how climate change is integrated into your business strategy and any outcomes of this process.
| i. | The Corporate Risk Monitoring Committee classifies and prioritizes risks and opportunities related to climate change according to exposure matrices and presents them to the Executive Board. These risk and opportunity assessments are thereby presented to senior management, which uses them to develop the Company’s strategic plan. Once the Executive Board has defined and approved Cemig’s strategy, the Company’s other executive departments plan the activities. The Board of Directors conducts the Strategic Planning process with the participation of the Executive Board. |
During the last annual cycle of Cemig’s Strategic Planning process, the Board of Directors approved an update to the Corporate Strategic Plan, defining the strategic objectives over the short term and until 2035. The main drivers of Cemig’s business strategy are related to balanced growth through new projects, as well as mergers and acquisitions, with the main commitment being to sustainable growth and adding shareholder value over the long term. In terms of the aim to expand installed capacity through a low-risk portfolio, the Company’s expansion in renewable sources has been particularly noteworthy.
| ii. | Aspects of climate change that have influenced Cemig’s strategy: |
Development of low carbon businesses: Cemig has identified opportunities for business, and for achieving market advantages, arising from its low carbon energy matrix. These are led by: (i) use of Cemig’s existing expertise to build and renovate renewable power plants; and (ii) investment in new energy sources.
Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – Cemig

Table of Contents
Regulatory changes: Cemig identifies regulatory risks related to climate change, which are considered seriously as part of the Company’s strategic decision-making process. Cemig conducts environmental due diligence prior to the acquisition of new assets (assessment of carbon risk), to evaluate the possible financial impact of any increase in GHG emissions from such assets, vis-à-vis the possibilities for internalizing emission costs due to new regulations.
Need for climate change mitigation: Although Cemig’s GHG emissions are already low, it strives to reduce them even further by establishing targets for reduction of emissions, electricity consumption and electricity losses.
Need for adaptation to climate change: Cemig has generating capacity that has low GHG-emission intensity because it is predominantly hydropower-based, but is subject to the consequences of climate change. Therefore, it invests in improving weather forecasting systems; in enhancing the infrastructure of its power plants, transmission lines and distribution network, to deal with these consequences; and in improving the forecasting of availability of water for its generation assets. Additionally, it has sought to diversify its matrix of sources by increases its participation in wind power generation, through Renova Energia. In 2014 was approved in the Aneel reserve auction the deployment of 106.9 MWp generation from photovoltaic source.
| iii. | Strategy components influenced by climate change in the short term (up to 5 years): (i) Cemig invests in state-of-the-art techniques and equipment that provide a high degree of accuracy in forecasting intensity and location of storms. (ii) It has established a corporate goal of reducing Scope 1 GHG emissions by 8% (in tCO2e/MWh) from 2008 to 2015. (iii) It has set a corporate goal of reducing electricity losses to below 10.85% by 2017. |
| iv. | Strategy components influenced by climate change in the long term (over 10 years): The need to consolidate low carbon energy supply sources has guided R&D projects in technologies that Cemig could deploy on a large scale in the future, such as (i) development of the second edition of a Minas Gerais solarimetric atlas, and (ii) electricity generation in solar plants connected to the power grid. Cemig’s recent acquisitions demonstrate its focus on expansion in renewable sources (see acquisitions in 2014 under item (vi) of this question). With these strategic actions, Cemig is expanding its power generation in the short term, and investing in a diversified matrix of renewable energy sources for the long term. |

The climate change scenario opens new business opportunities for Cemig, with expectations of high demand over the long run. Cemig owns Efficientia S.A., which develops and implements technological solutions for efficient use of energy among non-residential consumers.
| v. | By maintaining a predominantly renewable matrix and conducting carbon risk assessments, Cemig is able to take positions in advance of the risks associated with increased electricity generation costs. |
At the same time, development of new technologies, especially solar generation, puts Cemig in the vanguard of the electricity industry – incorporating new technologies into its supply matrix and enabling it to diversify its businesses.
| vi. | More substantial strategic decisions made by Cemig in 2014, which were influenced by business opportunities made more feasible as a result of climate change, include the following: |
| • | Investment in electricity distribution network loss management: Loss control is one of Cemig’s strategic goals. Among other effects it reduces the emissions factor of the national grid, with potential for mitigation of climate change effects. |
| • | Activities that minimize physical risks from extreme weather events: |
| • | Improvement in distribution networks: Establishment of the Protected Distribution Network (Rede de Distribuição Protegida – RDP), with shielded lines and networks, and fully structured distribution line pathways, as a minimum standard for urban supply. |
| • | Activities that increase opportunities for low carbon business development: |
| • | Acquisition of 27.4% of Renova and membership of its controlling stockholder block (a transaction begun in 2013 and completed in 2014). |
| • | Agreement with Renova for a 50% equity interest in the Zeus Project, for installation of 25 wind farms in the city of Jacobina, in the state of Bahia, with total installed capacity of 676.2 MW – with commercial supply to start in September 2018. Cemig’s total direct and indirect ownership interest in Renova is 32.5%. |
| • | Contracting of 150.4 MW of installed capacity at the 2014 Reserve Supply Auction (the ‘2014 LER’), in three wind complexes (43.5 MW) and four solar farms (106.9 MWp), to start commercial supply in October 2017; and 108 MW of installed capacity in the 2014 A–5 Auction, in five wind farms for start of supply in January 2019. All of these complexes are in the state of Bahia. Cemig’s total direct and indirect ownership interest is 32.5%. |

CC2.2c Does your company use an internal price of carbon?
Yes.
If “Yes”:
CC2.2d Please provide details and examples of how your company uses an internal price of carbon.
| i. | Scope of the emissions: Scope 1; |
| ii. | Rationale for employing a price: First, it is important to note that in Brazil there is no set price for carbon. However, when assessing the acquisition of projects using fossil fuels, Cemig carries out internal analyses of carbon risk and its financial impact on the Company (i.e., the potential financial risk to the Company in a potential future scenario for GHG emissions pricing in Brazil). In its most recent assessment the Company considered different power generation scenarios in the Brazilian energy matrix. To calculate the financial impact of carbon pricing on these projects, Cemig determined the energy to be generated from and the GHG emissions that would be produced by each scenario; then, the GHG emissions were multiplied by the domestic price of carbon. The results were included in the financial feasibility analysis of each project and were incorporated as operating costs. These assessments were based on the average prices of Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) credits; |
| iii. | Actual price used: The value used in the carbon pricing of fossil fuel-using projects that might be acquired is the mean value of annual averages of Verified Carbon Units (VCUs), which is currently equivalent to R$ 3.56. |
| iv. | Variations in price over time and across geographic areas: These were not considered. |
| v. | Person/entity responsible for determining this price: For each assessment, Cemig contracts a firm that specializes in carrying out carbon risk assessments, which is responsible for determining the price of carbon, according to the methodology described in items (ii) and (iii) above. |
| vi. | An example of how carbon pricing affects investment decisions: Cemig conducts environmental due diligence and sensitivity analyses in the acquisition of new fossil-fuel using assets (carbon risk assessment) to evaluate the potential financial impact of increases in its GHG emissions from these assets, including the possibility of internalizing emission costs as a result of new regulations. This helps the Company make decisions regarding business expansion. |

CC2.3f Please describe the work and how it aligns with your own strategy on climate change.
Cemig’s Research and Development (R&D) Program produces processes, new methodologies, software, materials, devices and equipment to improve the electricity system and help the Company adapt to and mitigate the impacts caused by climate change, thereby benefiting the electricity industry, Cemig, and society. Cemig has focused on studying energy alternatives, directing efforts toward development of new ways forward for technology and business options in the sector. Following are details of some of our 2014 projects:
| ¡ | Photovoltaic Power Plants at Universities: Conclusion of a partnership with four universities in Minas Gerais for the installation of four photovoltaic plants, each with nominal capacity of 12.5 KWp. Cemig provides technical support for their operations and maintenance, and donated 1,000 photovoltaic modules. Each plant will generate an average of approximately 18 MWh/year and, in addition to the economic benefit of the surplus power generated, will offer educational options for vocational training and development of photovoltaic technology. |
| ¡ | Sete Lagoas Solar Photovoltaic Plant: Continuing construction of an experimental, 3.3 MWp capacity photovoltaic plant in Sete Lagoas, in partnership with the company Sebra Solaria Brasil, the Federal University of Minas Gerais and the Minas Gerais State Research Foundation (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais—Fapemig). The project aims to develop the necessary expertise for commercial photovoltaic power generation, the project will operate a photovoltaic plant coupled and a sophisticated solar energy research centre. |
| ¡ | Sustainable Electricity Generation from Effluents of Charcoal Production in the Pig Iron Production Chain: This is the continuation of a project in partnership with the Federal University of Ouro Preto and Ondatec Tecnologia Industrial em Microondas, aiming to generate electricity from the effluents produced by vegetable biomass pyrolysis, considerably reducing the pollution potential and increasing the energy efficiency of charcoal production. The prototypes have been built and are being adjusted; liquid and gaseous fuels are undergoing testing, and it is expected that it will be possible to use them for electricity production; |
| ¡ | Solid Urban Waste Gasification for Electricity Generation: This is a partnership with the Federal University of Itajubá and AG Therm Caldeiras e Equipamentos, to build a pilot plant for fluidized bed gasification of fuels derived from urban solid waste biomass, lowering the environmental impact of disposal of this type of waste in the region. The equipment is being purchased and installed, and modelling of the system is in progress. |

| ¡ | Use of gases from wood carbonization in charcoal production: This project in partnership with ArcelorMittal BioFlorestas was finalized in 2014, to develop and build systems for transport of carbonization gas and for recovery of forest biomass waste, to generate electricity in a system comprising a central burner, an externally-fired gas-turbine (EFGT) and a generator. Prototypes were assembled, equipment installed, followed by experimental testing and validation of results. Following a technical inspection by Cemig an End-of-Project Workshop was held, open to the general public and the scientific community. The project produced a doctoral dissertation defended in 2014 at the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), entitled “The Potential of Electricity Generation from Wood Carbonization Forest Residues and Gases.” A master’s degree thesis inspired by the project is expected in 2016, and several articles resulting from the project are being prepared for publication. A patent application is also being prepared. |
| ¡ | Power generation using biogas from vinasse digestion: This project in partnership with Methanum Engenharia Ambiental, and Efficientia, was finalized in 2014, to develop a system to purify biogas from vinasse, for use to generate electricity. There was trial operation of the system in 2014 and the project ended with the Closing Workshop, open to the general public and the scientific community, which attracted approximately 50 people. The initiative inspired academic research: in 2015, a master’s degree thesis, “Analysis of the microbial community in a system for the treatment of biogas with high concentrations of sulphide,” was defended at the Federal University of Minas Gerais; and a doctoral dissertation, “Desulfurization of biogas from the methanization of vinasse: a new approach for the removal of high concentrations of H2S”, is scheduled for 2015. Articles have been submitted for publication, and a patent application has been prepared. |
Investments in these lines of research are made as part of the R&D program regulated by Brazil’s National Electric Energy Agency (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica—Aneel), and in partnership with Fapemig.

CC2.3h What processes do you have in place to ensure that all of your direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with your overall climate change strategy?
Cemig’s institutional relationships with the makers of public policy on climate change are conducted, under the approval of the Executive Board, by the Heads of Divisions (General Managers) charged with the management of specific strategic goals and corporate risks associated with the subject. Their work undergoes an annual recycling process as part of the Company’s annual strategy and Strategic Plan cycle. As described in question CC1.1, the individual directly responsible for Cemig’s global climate change strategy is the Deputy CEO. Thus, following approval by the Chief Officers of the related divisions, the Deputy CEO’s team ultimately evaluates all direct and indirect public policy development activities in which the Company participates. As an underlying premise, all institutional activities are driven by assumptions contained in the Cemig document “10 initiatives for the climate.”

| Abs-1 | Scope 2 | 0.8% | 4% | 2011 | 6,351 | 2020 | The Company has established a goal of reducing the combined electricity consumption of Cemig GT and Cemig D by 4% from 2011 to 2020.
In 2011, Cemig GT and D consumed 46,876 MWh of electricity, representing 0.8% of the Company’s Scope 2 emissions in the year (the other 99.2% was due primarily to electrical losses, plus a small portion arising from electricity consumption by Efficientia and Cemig Telecom).
That year, the national grid emission factor was 0.0292 tCO2e/MWh, so that emissions associated with electricity consumption were 1,368 tCO2e. However, to allow comparison with emissions from electricity consumption in 2014, the base year emissions have been reported (in the column on the left) using the 2014 national grid emission factor, which was 0.1355 tCO2e /MWh, resulting in a value of 6,351 tCO2e.
Note that the Scope 2 emission factor is given for emission factors developed by using the coefficient of fossil fuel use in electricity for Brazil’s National Grid system, primarily through thermoelectric plant activities.
This emission factor is used to calculate emissions from electricity generation acquired from the national grid (Scope 2), which in 2014 was 0.1355 tCO2e/MWh (as above), calculated from data collected by the Brazil’s National Electric System Operator (ONS) using a procedure developed in partnership with the Brazilian Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (MCTI). The methodology adopted is the “Tool to calculate emission factor for an electricity system,” approved by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). |

| Abs-1 | 33.33% | 100% | In 2014, Cemig GT and Cemig D consumed 44,168 MWh of electricity, 5.78% less than in 2011 (target base year). Thus Cemig has reached and exceeded its target of reducing its electricity consumption by 4% compared to 2011.
| |||
| Int-1 | 85.71% | 0.00% | Scope 1 emissions have increased since 2008 emissions to 0.023467 tCO2e/MWh generated by Cemig. Thus, in 2014, Cemig has not improved in its goal of reducing emissions of 0.007801 (base year) to 0.007177 tCO2e/MWh in 2015 (8% reduction compared to 2008).
Scope 1 emissions have increased since 2013 due to emissions from Cemig’s thermoelectric power plants, which produced 96.9% of Scope 1 emissions. The Igarapé power plant, with installed capacity of 131 MW, operates to meet contingency needs within the Brazilian electricity system. In 2014, it was in operation for 6,541 hours, as compared to 1,653 hours in 2013. This increase led to higher GHG emissions by Igarapé (up from 130,985 tCO2e in 2013 to 577,922 tCO2e in 2014). The decision to dispatch power for Brazil’s electrical system is made by the National Electric System Operator (Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico—ONS), based on analysis of forecasts of future scenarios for water flows available to hydroelectric plants, forecast growth in power consumption, and the timetable for building of new power plants. In periods of favourable rainfall and high levels of water storage in reservoirs, decisions to dispatch generation from thermoelectric plants are minimized, as hydropower generation is prioritized. In moments of unfavourable rainfall and lower storage levels, or even at times when increased non-hydroelectric output is desired as a factor to ensure supply of the market due to generation expansion construction program uncertainties, the ONS tends to increase thermal output to reduce hydroelectric generation, to ensure sustained water storage levels in the hydropower reservoir system.
The Barreiro thermal plant, located on the premises of steel products manufacturer Vallourec, generates electricity from steelmaking process gases, but in 2014 consumed natural gas due to reduced industrial production by Vallourec. Consumption of natural gas by the Barreiro plant was responsible for the emission of 21,316 tCO2e, or 3.5% of Scope 1 emissions. |

Renewable energy generation: Over 97% of Cemig’s installed power generation capacity is derived from renewable sources. When generating renewable energy, Cemig is replacing power generation that otherwise would likely have come from fossil sources.
| i. | This initiative enables Scope 2 reduction by all consumers connected to the national grid. |
| ii. | By injecting energy from renewable sources into the national grid, Cemig is strengthening a reduction of the system’s emission factor, which benefits all power consumers connected to that system. In 2014, 25,253 GWh of energy was generated from renewable sources (hydro + wind). |
| iii. | It is estimated that renewable power generation in 2014 prevented emission of 3.421 million tCO2. |
| iv. | It is assumed that Cemig’s renewable power generation precluded power generation from thermal sources in the Brazilian grid system. To calculate emission reductions, we used the national grid emission factor for 2014, calculated for GHG inventories by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (MCTI), multiplied by the amount of electricity generated from renewable sources. |
| v. | Generation of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) involved 11 projects, for expected total reduction of 1,072,113 tCO2e. |
Efficientia S.A. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cemig which develops and implements energy efficiency and power cogeneration projects, and offers consulting services to optimize the energy mix of industrial companies.
| i. | This enables non-Cemig parties to reduce Scope 2 emissions, since it reduces consumption by its clients of electricity from the national grid. |
| ii. | In 2014 works were completed on the Santa Vitória thermal plant, a cogeneration facility with installed capacity of 20 MW fuelled by sugarcane bagasse. |
Efficientia signed new contracts in 2014 to implement projects for lighting system modernization, and photovoltaic power generation.
| iii. | It is estimated that the contracts signed in 2014 will result in emissions reductions of 117.26 tCO2/year; |
| iv. | It is estimated the contracts signed in 2014 will also result in reduction of electricity consumption totalling 309 MWh/year and reduction in power generation of 556.5 MWh/year. To calculate emission reductions, we used the national grid emission factor for 2014, calculated for GHG inventories by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (Ministério de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação—MCTI)2, multiplied by the amount of electricity saved and generated. |

Gasmig: This Cemig subsidiary, which is exclusive distributor of piped natural gas throughout Minas Gerais, has developed the Inovagás project, which offers energy efficient solutions to customers.
| i. | This initiative helps to reduce Scope 1 emissions by non-Cemig parties, as it allows them the option of consuming a fuel with a lower GHG emission factor. |
In 2014, Gasmig built 64.84 km of pipelines in the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area, in the southern state of Minas Gerais (Sul de Minas), the Steel Valley region (Vale do Aço) and the city of Juiz de Fora, to serve needs of commercial and industrial consumers.
| ii. | Gasmig brings natural gas infrastructure to strategic areas of the state, allowing more carbon-intensive fossil fuels to be replaced in manufacturing industries. |
| iii. | In 2014, consumption of Gasmig-distributed natural gas avoided the emission of 1,105,629 tCO2e. |
| iv. | Gasmig monitors the amount of natural gas it supplies to the industries it serves. In 2014 Gasmig sold 1.531 billion m3 of gas. The emission reduction estimate was based on the assumption that in the absence of natural gas distribution, industry (corresponding to 67.89% of natural gas consumed in 2013) would consume fuel oil, vehicles (2.36%) would consume gasoline, thermoelectric power plants (29.17%) would use diesel, and general purpose consumers (commercial, residential, cogeneration and generation – 0.58%) would use diesel or fuel oil from a stationary source. Using the emission factors, and the lower calorific values and densities of the Brazil GHG Protocol, emissions were calculated based on the use of natural gas (real world scenario), and – the baseline scenario – based on the use of fuel oil, gasoline and diesel. The figure for ‘emissions avoided’ is the result of subtracting one from the other. |
| v. | Gasmig did not take into account the generation of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). |

| Energy efficiency: Processes | Nature of the activity: Includes initiatives focused on reducing technical electricity losses in the distribution system. These losses are inherent in electricity transmission through equipment, transmission lines and distribution. Included among actions taken in 2014 to control and minimize technical losses are:
• Medium voltage reactive compensation project: Preparation of a reactive compensation plan for the installation of 225 automatic capacitor banks by 2016, with an anticipated investment of R$ 9.0 million and a reduction of technical losses accounting for R$ 4.2 million/year (which corresponds to 23.6 GWh/year).
• Strengthening the medium voltage/low voltage electrical system and expanding/strengthening the high voltage (69 kV to 230 kV) sub-transmission system.
• Completion of the installation in the electrical system of 385 banks of fixed capacitors.
• Acquisition and installation of amorphous core technology distribution transformers, which reduce no load losses by approximately 80%, and strengthen the respective low voltage circuits.
Other specific actions include: investigations of new grid technologies and conductors; studies to increase the operating efficiency of the electrical system (circuit reconfiguration); and establishment of criteria for limitation of technical loss levels in low and medium voltage circuits.

| The Company’s Scope 2 emissions are reduced (emissions associated with technical electricity losses are recorded under Scope 2 in Cemig’s inventory; losses are considered as power consumption because the emissions are required to generate this electricity).
In relation to external regulators, this initiative is voluntary. In relation to technical losses, the 10.48% target was established by the Brazilian electricity regulator (Aneel), which makes it a mandatory goal for Cemig. However, the initiatives described here have been adopted voluntarily by the Company to achieve this goal.

| Only 27.4% of the reductions of emissions associated with the implementation of Renova wind farms in 2014 were considered in the scope of Cemig’s CDP report, as Cemig’s ownership interest in Renova is 27.4%. Cemig’s Scope 1 emissions have been reduced as a result of expansion of its generation from low carbon plants. Thus, Cemig has reduced its Scope 1 emissions per MWh produced (to calculate these emission reductions, whose result is in the next column, we used the Scope 1 tCO2e emission factor per MWh produced by Cemig in 2013 and published in its 2014 CDP report, equal to 0,005737 tCO2e / MWh produced). If we were to consider Scope 2 emissions reductions by Cemig’s consumers, using the emission factor of the Brazilian electrical system for the inventory, the resulting emissions reduction would be 92,369 tCO2e (the emissions reduction in the column on the right are for Cemig’s Scope 1).

| Transport: Fleet | Nature of the activity: In 2014, Cemig’s fleet consumed 798,946 litres of fuel. This represented a reduction that was mainly due to Cemig’s fleet management practices, which, since 2010, have optimized the vehicle fleet through the Company’s “Fleet replacement program.” This represented a saving of approximately R$ 860,000. Fleet optimization during this period was possible because all vehicles replaced since 2010 came installed with an Electronic Management System. From 2010 to 2014, this tool has allowed for vehicle use to be constantly monitored, which enabled a reduction of 584 units in this period. Scope 1 emissions of the company have been reduced due to the reduction of fossil fuel use in fleet vehicles. In relation to external regulators, this initiative is voluntary. |

CC3.3c What methods do you use to drive investment in emissions reduction activities?
| Method |
Comments | |
| Compliance with regulatory requirements / standards |
Federal Law 9,991/2000 requires 1% of the organization’s net operational revenues to be invested in R&D funding and energy efficiency programs. Thus, Cemig created the Intelligent Energy (Energia Inteligente – EI) program, focused on energy efficiency. It involves several multi-year socio-environmental projects to develop energy efficiency opportunities in low-income communities (in compliance with Article 1, section V included by Law 12,212/2010 in Law 9,991/2000) and in non-profit and philanthropic institutions. | |
| Financial optimization calculations |
Cemig incorporates GHG emission parameters in the preliminary evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of a new project, taking into account potential financial gains from the sale of carbon credits. This assessment has helped Cemig decide whether or not to implement projects shown to be eligible for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). | |
| Internal finance mechanisms |
The Company’s fleet replacement is funded through its Investment Programs. Cemig’s guidelines call for annual vehicle fleet renewal so that the average age of vehicles does not exceed five years, the legal depreciation period established by the concession-granting authority. | |
| Dedicated budget for R&D in low-carbon products |
Cemig’s Research and Development (R&D) Program encourages the constant quest for innovation to meet the power sector’s technological challenges. In this context, Law 9,991/2000 requires holders of electricity distribution, generation and transmission concessions and permissions to invest part of each year’s net operational revenues through the Electricity Sector Research and Development Program, regulated by Aneel.
To ensure implementation of this requirement, each year Cemig issues tenders for projects in various fields of research. Among projects related to climate change are: Alternative energy sources; distributed and decentralized generation; thermal generation and energy efficiency; water basin management and energy planning; metering, billing and commercial losses; and the environment. | |
| Dedicated budget for other emission reduction initiatives |
Funds are set aside within the Distributor Development Program (PDD) for reduction of Cemig’s electrical system losses, and for an emission reduction initiative to reduce both its own and the national grid’s emissions. | |
| Internal price of carbon |
Cemig uses environmental due diligence and sensitivity analyses to assess the risk of increased carbon emissions in its energy mix and the financial impact of such increases to help it decide on acquiring new expansion projects. | |

| Changes in precipitation and drought extremes | Unfavourable hydrology conditions at the national level reduce Brazil’s hydroelectric generation. Consequently, companies cannot meet 100% of the volumes established in the physical guarantee contracts. This means the National System Operator (ONS) must resort to thermal plants to meet part of the domestic demand. The greater the water shortage in the nation’s reservoirs, the higher the cost for Brazilian companies, which must buy energy on the spot market to meet contractual obligations. The impact of this risk will depend on the marketing and risk management strategy adopted by Cemig. | Reduction / disruption in production capacity | < 2 years | Direct | As likely as unlikely | High | Less than 20% of Cemig’s total costs | Cemig maintains a specific organizational structure dedicated entirely to the issue which provides support to the decisions of the Company’s risk management committees.
The Overall Risk Management Committee (CDGR) has the mission of dealing efficiently with corporate risks involving operational, commercial, financial and regulatory aspects for the Cemig group of companies, particularly in an industry scenario featuring tariff adjustments and hydrological constraints.
It also has an Energy Risk Management Committee (CGRE) designed to minimize the risks of power purchase and sale contracts, primarily for transactions in the wholesale and the free market. Thus, the magnitude of the impact of this is diminished.
Cemig also participates in the Energy Reallocation Mechanism, the purpose of which is to share hydrological risks: plants with high flows and hence high generation transfer power to plants with low flows. This sharing system gives the ONS (National System Operator) greater flexibility for dispatching plants and ensures compliance with Cemig’s energy sales commitments, contributing to a lower probability of impact. Cemig’s management methods also help reduce the magnitude of this impact. |

| Low-carbon electricity generation connected to the electric system, whose plant is owned by the company, but without certification tools created for this electricity | 0 | Only 4.1% of the electricity generated by Cemig does not come from a low-carbon power plant (this non low-carbon electricity is generated by the Igarapé thermal plant from fuel oil; in addition, in 2014 the electricity generated by the Barreiro thermal plant could not be considered low-carbon since this plant, located within Vallourec’s industrial area to generate electricity from process gases, consumed natural gas for its operation in 2014 due to the reduction of Vallourec’s output). Thus, 95.9% of our electricity is generated from hydro and wind power plants; in 2014, these plants exported 25,252,937 MWh of green energy to the Brazilian grid. As already mentioned, these plants are connected to the electrical system, but the electricity has not been certified for low emissions.
This volume of electricity is exported to the grid not having been consumed by the company, and therefore the emissions it generates cannot be ascribed to Cemig. Thus, since this electricity generation does not enter Cemig’s Scope 2 emission calculations, the value entered in the centre column is zero. All electricity consumed by Cemig in the reporting year was counted as purchased in the electricity system, and the national grid emission factor was used for its GHG emissions inventory. |

0.71% | Decreased emissions |
Opportunities for optimizing logistics through better transportation management led to a reduction of 1,983 tCO2e in 2014. Also in 2014, management of electricity technical losses was responsible for cutting emissions by 3,197 tCO2e. Additionally, the startup of Renova wind farms allowed Scope 1 emissions reduction of 271 tCO2e. These initiatives are detailed in question CC3.3b. Total annual emissions were reduced by 5,451 tCO2e.

54.78% | Increased emissions | Emissions associated with operation of the Igarapé thermal plant in 2014 totalled 577,458 tCO2e; in 2013, these emissions totalled 130,693 tCO2e. The increase of operations accounted for a 58.36% increase of Scope 1 + 2 emissions in 2014, compared to 2013. Cemig’s electricity production decreased from 27,299.470 GWh in 2013 to 26,323.243 GWh in 2014. If all other conditions were to remain unchanged between the two years and assuming a linear reduction of emissions by reducing the generation of electricity, this decrease in production would lead to a 3.58%. reduction of Scope 1 + 2 emissions. These two factors taken together led to a 54.78% increase from 2013 to 2014.

CC13. Emissions Trading
CC13.1 Does the company participate in any emissions trading schemes?
No, but the company anticipates doing so in the next two years.
If the answer is “Yes” or “No, but the company anticipates doing so in the next two years”:
CC13.1b What is the company’s strategy for complying with the schemes in which you participate or anticipate participating?
Recent international negotiations have greatly impacted the carbon market. In December 2012, the first Kyoto Protocol commitment period ended and it was decided the agreement would be renewed during the Conference of the Parties, although configured differently. The agreement ended up losing a lot of its force, the value of the credits declined substantially and, currently, it is not so advantageous to enrol projects in the program. The unstable international economic climate contributed to a reduction in the productivity of the industrial companies, including carbon-intensive ones and, consequently, reduced demand for carbon credits.
Cemig has 12 projects registered under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), through which a total reduction of 5,087,309 tCO2e is expected. Despite the current uncertainty about the value of its credits under the Kyoto Protocol, these projects show that Cemig has implemented voluntary and additional actions to reduce emissions and, therefore, is preparing for a possible scenario involving participation in an emissions trading scheme.
At the national level, the National Climate Change Policy (PNMC) establishes that the Brazilian Emissions Reduction Market (MBRE) is to be one of the instruments to reduce GHG emissions. While this market still is not a reality, it is expected to emerge in the near future. The PNMC does not set sectorial targets; rather, it states that to achieve the voluntary target set by Law 12,187/2009 of reducing Brazil’s projected emissions by between 36.1% and 38.9% by 2020, actions will be implemented that include expansion of hydroelectric supply, supply from renewable energy sources – particularly wind farms, small hydro and bio-electricity, and biofuels sources – and higher energy efficiency targets.

Cemig’s strategic plans are designed to expand low-carbon source installed capacity. The company invests in construction of new hydroelectric plants, both SHPs (small hydroelectric plants – from 1 MW to 30 MW) and standard hydroelectric plants – over 30 MW, and in wind farms. Furthermore, it has worked hard to acquire know-how on solar photovoltaic electricity generation with the intention of making this source a significant part its own generation matrix. In 2013 and 2014, Cemig boosted its ownership interest in Renova with its sights set on a growth model designed to intensify use of different renewable sources. The key purpose of entering the controlling shareholder block of Renova is to make that company its main driver of growth in the field of renewable energy (excluding hydroelectric expansion). Renova has focused on generation of renewable electricity through wind, small hydro and solar power plants and currently owns the largest wind farm in Latin America (more than 1 GW of installed capacity), along with an extensive portfolio of projects with a capacity factor above the national average. In 2014, in the 2014 LER auction, Renova sold 42.7 MW average, corresponding to 150.4 MW of installed wind and solar power capacity: 21.8 MW average of solar power were sold, which corresponds to 106.9 MWp of installed capacity, to be generated by four solar complexes, and 20.9 MW average and 43.5 MW of installed wind power capacity was sold, to be generated by three wind farms. Both the solar complexes and the wind power farms are located in the Bahia state. Also, in 2014, the company sold 49.4 MW average on the regulated market at the A-5 New Energy Auction (LEN A-5 2014), to be generated by five wind farms representing 108.0 MW installed capacity.
In addition to the investments in electricity generation from renewable sources, Cemig has made significant investments to boost production process efficiencies to minimize distribution system electricity losses. This is its greatest source of GHG emissions. To reduce technical losses – that is, those inherent in electricity transmission through all equipment and transmission and distribution lines—Cemig invested more than R$ 280 million in 2014 to bolster the electrical system and install fixed capacitors and distribution transformers equipped with amorphous core technology (which reduces load losses by about 80%). Thus, Cemig has been getting ready to participate in a possible emissions trading market to be established in Brazil.
Other preparation strategies for participation in emissions trading schemes are listed in the document “Cemig—10 Initiatives for the Climate”, through which Cemig reaffirms its commitment to climate change. The most important initiatives in this regard include: generation of electricity from renewable sources; implementation of conservation and energy efficiency projects; projects for the natural gas sector; investments in new energy sources (as long as they are low-carbon); enhancement of process efficiencies; and transportation emission reductions.

CC13.2 Has the company originated any project-based carbon credits or purchased any within the reporting period?
No3.
| 3 | Cemig has a portfolio of 12 low-carbon electricity generation projects connected to the Brazilian electrical grid, registered under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), encompassing Cemig’s plants and plants in which Cemig has an ownership interest. This portfolio has the potential for annual generation of 5,087,309 carbon credits, which represents an annual reduction of emissions of 5,087,309 tCO2e. However, in 2014, these plants did not request issuance of carbon credits by the UNFCCC, so Cemig did not generate any carbon credits in the reporting year despite these plants’ operations having led to emission reductions. |

| Transportation and distribution (upstream) | Emissions reduction activities | 2.07% | Emissions decrease | The distance travelled by outsourced trucks hauling cargo decreased from 2,301,688 km in 2013 to 910,016 km in 2014. This reduction was due to logistics optimization initiatives.
The distance travelled by fuel tanker trucks to the Igarapé Thermal Plant increased from 64,710 km in 2013 to 285,795 km in 2014. This increase was due to the plant’s higher production in 2014.
If all other conditions for emission sources were unchanged between the two years, this net reduction in distance would have led to a reduction of Scope 3 transportation and distribution (upstream) emissions of 2.07%, considering the two aspects mentioned above (decreased distance in cargo hauling and increased distance for fuel transportation trips). | ||||

This represented a 16.52% decline in GHG emissions for this transportation category.
This category was responsible for 32% of emissions from the “Employee commuting” source of Scope 3 emissions in 2013, leading to a total reduction of GHG “Employee commuting” emissions of 5.32%. |

| Employee commuting | Unidentified | 22.98% | Emissions decrease | There was a decrease in the distance Cemig’s employees travelled on Minas Gerais state roads on diesel-fuelled buses, down 292,933 kilometres in 2014 compared to 2013. This represented a 48.50% reduction in GHG emissions from this transportation category. This category was responsible for 60% of the “Employee commuting” source of Scope 3 emissions in 2013, leading to a total reduction of GHG emissions from the “Employee commuting” emissions of 29.31% in total.
On the other hand, there was an increase of 287,102 km travelled by employees commuting in gasoline-fuelled light vehicles in 2014, compared to 2013, representing a GHG emissions increase of 85.48% in this transportation category. The category accounted for 7% of emissions from the Scope 3 “Employee commuting” source in 2013. Therefore, this increase in distance travelled led to an increase of total GHG emissions by the “Employee commuting” source of 6.33%.
Together, the two situations, whose causes were not analysed by Cemig, led to an overall decrease of total GHG emissions by the “Employee commuting” source of 22.98%. | ||||
| Transportation and distribution (downstream) | Changes in output | 50.46% | Emissions decrease | The data provided by the contractors responsible for downstream transportation pointed to a 28% reduction in gasoline consumption, 42% in ethanol and 52% in diesel.

If “Yes, our suppliers”, “Yes, our customers” or “Yes, other partners in the value chain” is ticked:
CC14.4.a Please give details of methods of engagement, strategy for prioritizing engagements and measures of success.
Concerning engagement with suppliers, through the third edition of the Program for Carbon Management in the Value Chain of CTClima (Thematic Chamber of Energy and Climate Change) of the CEBDS (Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development), Brazil’s representative of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) since 2012, Cemig has been including the GHG emission inventories of its suppliers in the Company’s information base. The purpose of the program is to work with suppliers, especially those with the highest impact on Cemig’s emissions, to prepare and publish GHG inventories, raising awareness and training the selected suppliers. Since its inception, the Program for Carbon Management in the Value Chain already has increased awareness about and trained 256 suppliers of its affiliates in how to prepare their own GHG emissions inventories. Cemig was one of the Program’s sponsors in the 2014 edition, along with 10 other CEBDS member companies. In the third edition, 123 suppliers were trained through the Program, up 22% from the prior year; 33 suppliers completed emission inventories and another four are being prepared, an increase of about 10% compared to 2013.
Engagement methods: The selected suppliers were invited to participate in workshops. The main objective is to raise awareness among participants about the need to adapt how they manage their businesses to cope with climate change. Additionally, aimed at technical training to enable preparation of GHG inventories, the workshops were used to introduce the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program’s calculation tool and how to use it. The definition of operating limits, identification and classification of the main emission sources and categorization of emissions between the three scopes were the priority subjects. The workshops were run from April to June 2014 in six different locations.
Strategy for prioritizing engagements: 50 companies were invited to participate in the program, and priority was given to small and medium sized suppliers who need help in preparing the GHG inventory.
Measures of success: Considering all suppliers to all the companies participating in the third edition of the Program, 35% (123 companies) participated in 2014’s workshops, a 22% increase compared to the second edition in 2013 (noting that Cemig participated only as of the second edition). In terms of evaluation: 49% graded the workshops “very good” and 44% as “excellent.” In terms of inventories, 80% said they intended to prepare GHG inventories. Of the 72 companies confirming interest, 46% subsequently completed them.

Table of Contents
Of these 123 suppliers, 33 finished their emission inventories and another four are in the preparation stage, an increase of approximately 10% compared to the 2013 edition of the Program. Cemig is continuing to run the project and will organize additional workshops to duly engage with the 50 selected suppliers. The measurement Cemig uses to gauge the success of this program is supplier participation in the workshops and actual preparation of GHG inventories after the companies conclude their training.
Cemig has introduced the Intelligent Energy (Energia Inteligente) Program for client engagement purposes. This project fosters energy efficiency in low-income communities and non-profit and philanthropic institutions that consume Cemig’s electricity. Furthermore, it promotes energy efficiency in public facilities. The Intelligent Energy Program consists of three sub-programs: “Energy for Good”, “Living Together”, and “Eco-efficient City Halls” (Energia do Bem, Conviver and Prefeituras Ecoeficientes). The “Energy for Good” program targets charities and non-profit organizations. “Living Together” program is aimed at low-income consumers. And the “Eco-efficient City Halls” program is for better municipal energy management practices. All these initiatives reduce electricity consumption by the people and entities served by the company.
Engagement methods: Cemig sets up collaborative projects with consumers selected for the program. Under the program it replaces equipment by more efficient models, refurbishes electrical systems, and teaches efficient energy use practices and an understanding of the resulting reduction of environmental impact.
Strategy for prioritizing engagements: Low-income communities and non-profit and philanthropic institutions are given priority for participating in Cemig’s Intelligent Energy Program.
Measures of success: In 2014, the “Energy for Good” program was responsible for replacing electric showers in 41 institutions for the elderly and in 14 public hospitals and charities – and replacement of 30 autoclaves and 6,638 sets of electric lighting fixtures and lamps in hospitals. The “Living Together” program installed 2,176 solar heating systems and replaced 232,445 light bulbs, 4,282 refrigerators and 110 irrigation systems with over 15 years of use at family farms through the Jaíba Project.

INTRODUCTION
This is Cemig’s Annual and Sustainability Report on the year 2014. It gives information on Cemig’s performance for all of its
operations, and principally, those factors that may contribute to the Company’s economic, social and environmental
sustainability. It is a comprehensive corporate instrument for dialogue with all stakeholders about the Company’s activities
and performance; and it also serves as a management tool for Cemig’s various divisions, showing the development of
indicators and metrics related to matters over which they have responsibility.

Table of Contents
All accounting data disclosed in this report have been previously audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores
Independentes for the Company’s financial statements, which are presented according to International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) and are available on the Cemig website. As a guarantee of overall quality and of the content of the data
contained in this report, in addition to the audit of economic and financial data Cemig commissioned an independent
verification, with reasonable scope – carried out by Bureau Veritas Certification – of application in this report of the principles
and indicators of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Global Compact.
If there has
been any revision of the information that was presented in previous reports, for example due to reclassifications
or a revision of methods of measurement, an
explanation of any changes is given adjacent to the data, to maximize
transparency.
In line with global trends in the production and dissemination of corporate reports, Cemig has opted to adopt the GRI G4
methodology for the production of this document (Core Version). However, so as not to affect continuity in the supply of data
and indicators that has already been presented in previous reports, the Company additionally decided to issue an expanded
version of this report, called the Comprehensive Version, where the indicators present in the version for the prior year (2013),
which followed the GRI 3.1 methodology, are maintained and updated for the G4 version, as well as the GRI Sector
Supplement for the Utility Sector, and the report on progress in meeting the Ten Principles of the Global Compact.
The G4 Core Version is a less extensive document and, therefore, more reader-friendly, giving priority to quality and focus on
the issues that are most important to the Company and its stakeholders. For each of the 11 aspects identified in the
materiality test, Cemig has provided, over the length of the report, Disclosure of Management Approach (DMA): under the G4
methodology, this must include an explanation of the importance of the issue to the Corporation, how it is managed, what are
the risks involved, and what are the related goals and objectives. Additionally, the Company has tried, in part, to follow
IIRC guidelines for the preparation of Integrated Reporting, which includes the firm’s business model and information on
integration between programs and projects.
Both versions, G4 Core and G4 Comprehensive, are
available to read or download on the Cemig website, including formats
that are compatible with tablets and smartphones.
Questions regarding this report can be directed to Cemig’s Corporate Sustainability Management
(sustentabilidade@cemig.com.br) or the Investor Relations Department (ri@cemig.com.br) – there are further details on the
Company’s website.
LIMITS OF THE REPORT
The financial data presented in this report refers to the group of companies in which the holding company, Cemig
(Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais) holds a stake, except where stated in the text. The non-accounting information is
primarily for the holding company and the two main wholly-owned subsidiaries Cemig Distribuição S.A. (‘Cemig Distribution’
or ‘Cemig D’) and Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. (‘Cemig Generation and Transmission’ or ‘Cemig GT’), but where
indicated may also cover other Cemig Group subsidiaries. The accounting data is consolidated according to criteria
established by Brazilian law (for more details, see Note 2 of the Standardized Financial Statements – (‘DFP’) on the
Company’s website).The name Cemig is used in reference to the group of companies. The terms Group and Company are
used as a synonym for “Cemig,” unless stated otherwise in the text. The name Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais –
spelled out – is used when the reference is to the holding company alone, i.e. excluding all subsidiaries.
This report gives information on companies including Light, Taesa and Renova, in whose management Cemig participates
through participation on their boards of directors and committees. Though these companies have their own reports,
containing complete quantitative and qualitative information, their inclusion in this report is justified by the importance of
their contribution in achieving the Group’s strategic objectives.

Table of Contents
In relation to the large hydroelectric projects that are located in Brazil’s northern region – Santo Antônio and Belo
Monte – in
which Cemig is a minority stockholder and not involved in the operational management nor holder of a controlling stake, this
report also presents information that aims to explain their importance in the Company’s strategy and their key actions. The
consortia that are building these projects have the responsibility for those projects, but Cemig has sought to provide as much
information as possible about these operations.
The scope of activities covered by this report
has not changed from the previous year.
MATERIALITY MATRIX
The Materiality
Test is a procedure used annually by Cemig, with the maximum breadth and depth possible, to ascertain
expectations of stakeholders within the organization’s
area of influence, to highlight aspects to be addressed in
communicating with the various publics, and to guide the Company’s management systems. Its outcomes
constitute the
main guide and input for construction of Cemig’s Annual and Sustainability Report on 2014.
Through an institutional process known as Stakeholder Mapping, the Company has defined the following relationship groups
of interest:
Government;
Stockholders and investors;
Residential clients;
Corporate clients;
Communities (NGOs, society, universities, research centers and other social
organizations);
Employees;
Suppliers; and
Media.
To perform the test, which followed the guidelines of the GRI G4 materiality principle,
Cemig used a combination of input
methods: external and its own internal data sources, including the Company’s Strategic Planning; research on the perception
of stakeholders carried out during the year through corporate communications channels; sustainability rating agencies; news
clippings published in 2014 about Cemig and its economic sector; consideration of internal policies, media analysis,
organizational values, organizational climate research results, risks and opportunities, and internal perceptions collected
through direct participation of key members of management.
This procedure resulted in the
following Materiality Matrix, which indicates the eleven most material aspects of the study (on
the right-hand side of the curve). These will be the main topics
addressed in this report. The report also addresses the other
aspects, but with less emphasis.

GLOSSARY
For
optimum understanding of the terms used, Cemig has created a glossary, available at:

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
In his speech at the appointment ceremony of the new Executive Board
on January 23, 2015, Minas Gerais State Governor
Fernando Pimentel gave the following brief description of the guidelines that will orient Cemig’s activity in
the coming years:
“There will be full support from the of Minas Gerais State government for our primary objective: to reconcile the legitimate
interest of stockholders, productivity, profits and development with the very legitimate interests of the employees – safe
working conditions and appropriate salaries – and the interests of consumers in efficiency and quality.
There is no contradiction between seeking to provide for the legitimate desires of the stockholder, and reconciling them with
the expectations of consumers and employees. This is Cemig’s great challenge, and I believe it is the great challenge for any
company that has both the State and legitimate private interests as stockholders. It is a challenge which I am certain both the G4-1
M E S S A G E F R O M T H E M A N A G E M E N T
122
Table of Contents
Board of Directors and the Executive Board will know how to judge.”
We have a clear perception of the challenge.
Cemig has always had, and will continue to have,
a leading role in the Brazilian electricity sector, acting as one of the major
groups consolidating the sector and using its experience – from its more than
60 years’ existence – in the building of major
projects.
We have
viable alternatives for growth, making use of the opportunities that the sector offers, as well as those which already
represent a path for vigorous growth –
such as the natural gas sector, and generation from renewable sources.
Clearly the greatest priority in the short term is to deal appropriately with the dispute on
extension of the concession
contracts of the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda hydroelectric plants. The difficulties are many, but we are seeking the
best
solution for the legal dispute through negotiation with the federal government.
Another highlight is the alliance of generation assets that we have made with Vale S.A., creating a new company, Aliança
Geração de Energia S.A., which will come into being already with combined assets greater than R$ 4.5 billion, of which Cemig
will have 45% ownership, starting activities in March 2015. With this association, we increase the potential of generating new
business and maximizing profits in electricity generation, due to the combination of experiences in operational, financial and
project management.
In electricity distribution, we have investments planned for the period
2015 to 2018, date of the next tariff review, totaling
nearly R$ 3 billion, which demonstrates our commitment to the development of Minas Gerais State, and to
producing quality
electricity supply to our 8 million consumers in the State.
As well as its investment programs, Cemig is a company with a technical staff that is highly qualified to act firmly, together
with the State and Federal governments, in improving the electricity tariff system, reducing costs of generation of electricity,
and serving consumers with more quality.
To our stockholders, the message that we would like
to give you at this initial moment, is to emphasize the extremely
important role that you have for Cemig, and to maintain our position: that we are always
together, always jointly seeking the
best results for all those who form the pillars of this Company.
We will at all times work transparently, and we consider that one of our challenges is to find the ideal balance so that all our
publics are fully satisfied – a dividend policy that meets stockholders’ desires, and also meets the need for growth to
guarantee the market share of a company of this scale.
In relation to operational management,
we will seek to meet the criteria for efficiency and quality with moderate costs,
compatible with the best global and Brazilian practices. Complying with the
regulatory rules will be priority for all our
businesses that are regulated.
We believe that the Company’s engines of growth are our employees. So we will employ the best management practices to
ensure that the people who work in our Company have full opportunity and qualification.
Everything we do is always based on the principles of sustainability and social responsibility, and this is shown in Cemig’s
presence in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and in the Global Compact 100 index of the United Nations Global
Compact – which brings together 100 companies from all over the world that are both committed to corporate sustainability
and also have leading performance in the capital markets.
As well as the challenges inherent
to the Company, in 2015 we will have to deal with a greater pressure on costs of electricity,
with the thermal plants being dispatched to meet the needs of
consumption, due to the low level of the reservoirs of the
hydroelectric plants, which has resulted from the low rainfall since the end of 2013.
In this context, Brazil’s rainfall in the coming months, as compared with historic averages, will be a determining factor for

energy policy and prices of electricity in the short and medium term.
Finally, in spite of all the challenges and complexities of the electricity sector, we have confidence in the future, and we know
we have the support of our employees and our stockholders for Cemig to continue to be recognized as: Brazil’s Best Energy.

COMPANY PROFILE
Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig) operates in generation,
transmission, marketing and distribution of
electricity, energy solutions (Efficientia S.A.) and distribution of natural gas (Gasmig). The Cemig Group comprises
the holding
company (Cemig), its two main wholly-owned subsidiaries – Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. (‘Cemig Generation and
Transmission’, or ‘Cemig GT’) and Cemig Distribuição S.A. (‘Cemig Distribution’, or ‘Cemig D’) – and other
subsidiaries and
affiliates, a total of 206 companies, 18 consortia and two Equity Investment Funds (FIPs), with assets in 23 of the Brazilian
states (including the Federal District), and in Chile. .
The Company also operates in
exploration and distribution of natural gas (through Gasmig), and in data transmission (Cemig
Telecom). With a direct interest of 26.06%, Cemig also controls Light
S.A., an electricity distributor serving 31 cities in the
state of Rio de Janeiro, a region with over 11 million consumers. Cemig also has an interest of 43.36%,
exercising control, in
the transmission company Taesa (Transmissora Aliança de Energia Elétrica S.A.).
As part of a growth strategy increasingly aiming to expand in renewable energy sources, in 2014 Cemig became part of the
control block (27.4%) of Renova, a leading company in Brazil’s wind power market, which also owns investment portfolios in
solar and other renewable sources. Its main aim with this transaction is for Renova to be Cemig’s vehicle for expansion in the
non-traditional renewable energy sources (i.e. other than hydroelectric).

Outstanding assets and inputs contribute to Cemig’s leading position as a power company: the technical capacity and quality
of its workforce, recognized for its expertise both in Brazil and internationally; its base of natural resources, mainly
hydroelectric (97% of its installed generation capacity is hydroelectric); access to the financial capital it needs for continuous
development of its business; the inputs provided by its suppliers; plus the consideration that it gives to the needs and
expectations of its stakeholders.
In all its activities Cemig seeks to achieve sustainable
growth focused on creating value for its shareholders, employees,
suppliers and society. Its investments in expansion of its businesses to supply the markets in
which it operates, and its
commitment to quality customer service, are a physical materialization of Cemig’s strategic vision, which is based on the
principles of sustainability and social and environmental responsibility.

Cemig celebrated 62 years of operations in

has assumed a role of leadership in economic and social development in an innovative
and sustainable manner in the regions
where it operates. This has led to its position as Brazil’s largest power distributor in terms of network length, and
one of
Brazil’s largest power generation and transmission companies.

Cemig’s businesses, click here.

MISSION, VISION AND VALUES
Cemig’s management is based on the guidelines expressed in the
Mission, Vision and Values set out in its Long-Term
Strategic Plan, and in its Strategic Planning.
Cemig’s Mission:
“To operate in the energy sector with profitability, quality and
social responsibility.”
Cemig’s Vision:
G4-56
129
Table of Contents
“To consolidate Cemig’s position, over the course of this decade, as the largest group in the Brazilian electricity sector by
market value, with a presence in the natural gas market, and as a global leader in sustainability, admired by its clients and
recognized for its solidity and performance.”
Cemig’s Values
The company’s values are: the beliefs and attitudes that give personality to the relationship between Cemig and people. They
are nurtured, supported and sustained by: Integrity; Ethics; Wealth; Social Responsibility; Enthusiasm at Work; and
Entrepreneurial Spirit.
ETHICAL CONDUCT
Cemig has had its Statement of Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct since 2004. It is issued to all employees
through the Company’s corporate Intranet, and is also available on the Web. It contains 11 principles on conduct and ethical
values that have become embedded in Cemig’s culture. These principles reinforce our corporate governance system and
regulate the behavior, actions and professional decisions of employees, managers, directors and members of the Board of
Directors and Audit Board, as well as outsourced workers and service providers. The content of the document specifies the
additional responsibilities of senior management, including board members, other management levels and employees with
respect to ethical principles.
The Company has also developed its own anti-fraud policy,
formally establishing that engaging in and/or concealing
fraudulent and corrupt activities – in all their forms, including bribery, extortion, graft and
money laundering – are
unacceptable practices. This policy, approved by the Executive Board, disclosed to all employees through the firm’s corporate
Intranet and made available on the Internet, also establishes the responsibilities of the directors, managers and employees of
the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Cemig maintains an internal control system
to prevent fraud and corruption, aligned with the requirements of the U.S.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Highlights of the control activities that are audited annually
are: orientation against unethical
practices, corruption and fraud (Anti-Fraud Policy); the Whistleblower’s Channel; Human Resources policies on recruitment
and remuneration; the enterprise risk management process; information security procedures; segregation of duties
performed manually and those performed by computer systems; limits of autonomy; and internal control system monitoring
activities, conducted by the Company’s Internal Audit Office.
Cemig has a Three-Year
Internal Audit Plan, which requires assessment of all business processes at least every three years.
The objective is to ensure that procedures continue to be
appropriate and fit for purpose, and that there is compliance with all
laws, rules, standards and internal procedures. The decisions on which processes and
companies will be audited in a year are
based on the degree of risk that they represent for the business and for Cemig’s financial statements. High-risk
processes are
prioritized and audited more frequently (in some cases, annually), whereas audits for low-risk processes are scheduled for
every three years. Among risk factors evaluated are those related to fraud. Risk factors are reviewed during the audit planning
process, aiming to identify any changes that may have taken place.
No cases of corruption
involving Cemig were identified through any internal audit, nor through the Whistleblower’s Channel, in
2014.
In 2014 approximately 200 newly-hired employees attended ‘Cemig First Energy’ training sessions, at which they are
introduced to the Statement of Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct, and given their own copy in the form of a
printed guide. Cemig also makes an online training page available to all employees on its Intranet, addressing the main
concepts and ethical principles. To reinforce dissemination of the Principles and their acceptance, all new employees –
simultaneously with signature of their employment contract – are required to sign a Solemn Undertaking that they are aware
of and will obey the values and principles contained in the Statement of Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct.

In 2014 Cemig made online training on Brazil’s Federal Anti-Corruption Law (Law 12,846 of 2013) available to all employees
online. This law, which took effect in February 2014, specifies administrative and civil liability for legal entities that commit
acts against the public administration, domestic or foreign.
As of January 2015 all contracts
signed between suppliers and Cemig require the supplier to undertake: “to be aware of and
comply with the rules specified in Law 12,846 of January 8, 2013
(the ‘Anticorruption Law’); to refrain from committing any
acts that may be contrary to the public administration, and to denounce any irregularity of
which it becomes aware, through
the channels made available by Cemig.”
GOVERNANCE MODEL AND LEADING PRACTICES
Among numerous steps taken to create a
well-structured and transparent governance model, Cemig adopts the Best
Corporate Governance Practices recommendations of the Brazilian Corporate Governance
Institute (IBGC). They prioritize
trust, integrity, and respect for stockholders, investors, clients, employees, suppliers, society and government.
Learn more about Cemig’s corporate governance model on the Company’s Investor Relations website.

Since 2001, the company has adopted the Level 1 Corporate Governance Practices of the São Paulo Stock Exchange –
BM&FBovespa. These are listed on the BM&FBovespa website.
The
controlling stockholder of Cemig is the State of Minas Gerais, which owns 51% of the common (voting) shares. Another
major stockholder is AGC Energia S.A., holding
32.96% of the common shares. At the EGM held on April 30, 2014, AGC
Energia nominated five of the 14 elected members of the Board of Directors. The term of office
of the directors elected at that
meeting expires in April 2016.
Other
corporate governance practices:
Internal Regulations of the Board of Directors
Internal Regulations of the Audit Board
Distinctive by-laws
Cemig’s by-laws establish a distinctive, pro-market dividend policy, as can be seen in the Capital Markets section of this
report. Among other matters, the by-laws:
– require investments to be concentrated in
the Company’s core business;
– set out senior management’s obligations and limits of autonomy, based on the Long-Term Strategic Plan; and
– establish the Company’s borrowing limits, thus reducing any insolvency risk.
GENERAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
In accordance with current law, the Annual General Meeting
(AGM) is held each year before the end of April. Extraordinary
General Meetings (EGMs) may be held at any time in the year, as necessary. Both are called at least
15 days in advance:
convocation must be published through the CVM, and on the Company’s Investor Relations website and in major national
newspapers.
The dates of the meetings held in 2014, a summary of their main decisions, and the
dates of meetings so far scheduled for
2015, can be found in Cemig’s Corporate Events Calendar.
In 2014 five EGMS were held as well as the mandatory AGM.
Comments, suggestions or
recommendations about general meetings may be e-mailed to: ri@cemig.com.br or using the
Investor Relations website http://ri.cemig.com.br
MANAGEMENT
Cemig’s management comprises two corporate bodies: the Board of Directors, and
the Executive Board. The Board of
Directors is elected by the Annual General Meeting. It elects its own Chair and Vice-Chair, and appoints the Executive Officers
– the members of the Executive Board.
The Board of Directors consists
of 15 sitting members, and their respective substitute members, all elected by the
stockholders. They have a range of different but complementary backgrounds and
experience. Of the current sitting
members, eight were elected by the controlling stockholder, the State of Minas Gerais; five by AGC Energia S.A.; and one by
the investment fund FIA Dinâmica Energia. Four of the present sitting members can be described as ‘independent members’
by the IBGC criteria. All members of the Board of Directors and their substitute members serve for periods of office of two
years, which may be renewed on expiration. The period of office of the current members runs until the Annual General
Meeting to be held in April 2016.
Subsequent event: A General Meeting of Stockholders made
changes to the Board of Directors and the Executive Board in
G4-57 G4-51 G4-41 G4-40 G4-35 G4-37
132
Table of Contents
January 2015. These are described in the opening pages of this report.
The résumés of Cemig’s management can be found here.
The Board of Directors
met 27 times in 21014, making decisions on issues ranging from strategic planning to individual
investment projects. At the start of each meeting, members are
invited to indicate whether they have any conflict of interest
in relation to the items on the agenda.
Information on the composition, election, term, principal responsibilities and duties of the Board of Directors are contained in
the Internal Regulations of the Board of Directors.
Since 2006, committees of members of the
Board of Directors have been formed to review and discuss, in advance, matters
to be decided by the Board. The duties of each committee can be seen on the
Company’s website.
Cemig’s Executive Board has 11 members, whose functions are specified in the by-laws, and meets weekly. Its members are
elected and may be removed at any time by the Board of Directors, and serve for three-year terms of office, which may be
renewed. They may simultaneously hold unremunerated management positions in Cemig’s subsidiaries and/or affiliates.
Their current period of office expires at the first meeting of the Board of Directors to be held after the 2015 Annual General
Meeting. The Executive Board held 65 meetings in 2014.
The Executive Board is supported by 24
management committees, two subcommittees and one commission, made up of
executives from various areas of the Company, which meet whenever activated, to support the
Executive Board and the
Board of Directors with optimum input and analysis when taking decisions.
The Audit Board is elected at the Stockholders’ Meeting. It is established permanently, comprising five members and their
respective substitute members who, in conformity with international practice, satisfy the requirement for independence. They
are elected by the Annual General Meeting of Stockholders, for a one-year term, which may be extended via re-election.
Election of members of Audit Board by the stockholders is as follows:
one member is elected by
the holders of preferred shares;
one member may be elected by holders of common shares not part of the controlling group, representing at least 10%
of share capital; and
three members are elected by the controlling stockholder.
The Audit Board has the additional responsibility for reviewing all non-operational complaints forwarded to it by the Ethics
Committee. These complaints, usually initially made through the ‘Whistleblower’s Channel’ on Cemig’s Intranet, are sorted
into two categories, operational and non-operational. The Audit Board considers all non-operational complaints, and proposes
a course of action to be carried out by the Internal Auditors. Under the exemption allowed by Rule 10-3A of the Exchange Act,
U.S. Securities and Exchange (SEC), regulated by Release 82-1234, Cemig’s Audit Board acts as an alternative to an Audit
Committee. Cemig’s Audit Board met ten times in 2014.
The Annual and Extraordinary
General Meetings held on April 30, 2014 considered a proposal for the remuneration of the
Board of Directors, the Executive Board and the Audit Board for fiscal
2013, and having received a statement in favor of it
from the Corporate Governance Committee of the State of Minas Gerais, approved it. This recommendation was
adopted in
its entirety. The total allocation made was R$ 21,164,000.00 – to include health insurance for the executive officers, at the
same level as the benefits currently given under the Health Plan to all employees of the Company. The monthly remuneration
for the CEO was set at R$ 39,641.35, and at R$ 33,978.30 for each of the other Chief Officers. Amounts for paid leave,
bonuses, and other benefits are adjusted proportionately. The monthly remuneration of each member of the Board of
Directors (unless they are also Executive Officers), subject to conditions related to attendance bonuses, is R$ 6,898.62 –
calculated as 20% of the average remuneration of an Executive Officer. The members of the Audit Board receive
remuneration equivalent to 10% of the average amount received by Executive Officers, i.e. R$ 3,449.31. Each substitute
133
Table of Contents
member of the Audit Board earns R$ 2,759.45, calculated as 80% of the monthly remuneration paid to the sitting member.
See the item Remuneration of Key Management Personnel in Explanatory Note 27 to the Financial Statements.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Cemig practices corporate risk management as a tool to identify strategic and
process or operational risks, to provide
information enabling senior management to make optimal decisions in managing the Company’s significant risks, thus
preserving the Company’s value.
Strategic risks are those related to the
Company’s objectives and vision, or to the possibility of strategic decisions not
achieving intended outcomes. The Company has prepared a matrix identifying
these risks – including such items as: ‘Adverse
hydrology / rationing,’ ‘Loss of concessions for Generation and Transmission assets’ and
‘Restraints on borrowing capacity’.
Process or operational risks can arise in the normal course of business; i.e., they are associated with people,
systems and
processes upon which the Company’s operations depend. Mapped risks, such as ‘Fish deaths in Cemig plants,’ ‘Reduction of
reliable transmission and generation functions,’ and ‘Unavailability of transmission and generation functions’ were also
grouped into a matrix.
Cemig continued its review of the matrix process in 2014. New activity
included research with senior management to list
prioritized risks; and mapping of risks in the value chain and subjects related to Cemig’s Social and
Environmental
Improvement Program.
Cemig is continuously enhancing its Risk
Management methodology and the computerized system that serves its execution,
thus continuously increasing the transparency and reliability of the process. In
2014, Cemig began a project to develop new
methods to assist estimating of probability of occurrence and intensity of possible loss in the event of negative
outcome
from several events that could adversely affect results. .
Corporate
risk management is overseen by the Corporate Risk Monitoring Committee (CMRC), whose primary function is to
coordinate the operation of Cemig’s risk
management process.
The Company also has a Financial Risk Management Committee, to implement guidelines and monitor financial risks related
to transactions that might adversely affect the Company’s liquidity or profitability; and to recommend effective
protection/hedging strategies against foreign exchange, interest rate and inflation risks, in line with the Company’s overall
strategy.
The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described on Form 20-F.
Financial risk management
Investors and banks provide liquidity for
Cemig’s investments. With the limits imposed by Brazilian legislation on bank lending
to the public sector, Cemig has in most cases used the capital markets
for financing of its projects.
A description of the principal financial transactions of Cemig and its subsidiaries Cemig D and Cemig GT is in the
Standardized Financial Statements (‘DFP’).
The risk factors to which Cemig is
exposed are described in the Company’s Reference Form.

CEMIG’S STRATEGY
Cemig has a structured process for strategic planning and management, in
which it sets the objectives it wants to achieve by
2035. The Board of Directors conducts the strategic planning process, with participation from the Executive
Board, by first
defining the Company’s strategic fundamentals, represented in Cemig’s Statements of Mission, Future Vision, and Values; in
its Long-Term Strategic Plan and in its Strategic Guidelines (learn more about Mission, Vision and Values in the chapter
entitled Cemig).
Cemig’s Long-Term Strategic Plan contains the Cemig Group’s
Integrated Strategic Planning, and is focused on maximizing
value generation, in consideration of four main groups of interaction – the pillars of
Cemig’s relationship with society: clients,
community, the environment and investors – through empowerment of people, and implementation of synergies,
that will
lead the Group to be one of the principal agents of consolidation within the Brazilian electricity sector. Learn more about the
activities related to, and our reporting on, these four pillars in the following four chapters of this report: Clients and
consumers, Community, Environment; and Financial results.
The principal areas of strategic
challenge set out in Cemig’s Long-Term Strategic Plan are: (a) focus on execution, with
improvement of operations and quality; (b) sustainable growth; and (c)
identification and harnessing of synergies.
Cemig uses the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) tool to translate its strategy, and to communicate on it to stakeholders. Four
strategic maps have been constructed – Corporate; Generation; Transmission; and Distribution. These contain the
Company’s challenges for each of these segments, each expressed as four headings – objectives; indicators; targets; and
initiatives – enabling the Executive Board to monitor the implementation of strategies translated from the Long-Term
Strategic Plan.
135
Table of Contents
So that managers and employees know the strategies and and understand how they can contribute to its achieving, Cemig
has adopted the concept of ‘unfolding’ of the strategic maps into ‘panels’ of: contributions; indicators; and actions – for each
area of the organizational structure, aligned with the requirements of the Quality Management, Environment, and Health and
Safety Systems.
The objectives, indicators, targets and initiatives are monitored through a
structured flow of meetings at the various
hierarchical levels. The objective of this flow is to correct deviations, review and adapt the strategy as needed. The
idea is to
allow the entire workforce to participate in the process of planning and managing the Company’s strategy.
OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS
The following are Cemig’s principal objectives and targets for the
short and medium term. All are properly aligned with the
strategic plan and referenced by the materiality test. Also listed is information on the implementation
status of objectives that
were described in the 2013 Report.

CONCESSIONS
Generation
The company opted not to accept the terms of PM579/12 for renewal of the 18 electricity generation concessions that had
already been renewed once by the concession-granting power, and as a result it will continue to earn revenues from these
assets under the terms of the concession contracts.
For the concessions for the Jaguara,
São Simão and Miranda plants, whose concession expiry dates are in the 1st term, with
renewal specified contractually at August 2013, January 2015
and December 2016, respectively, the Company believes that it
has the right to extend the concessions on the conditions prior to PM 579, under the clauses in those
contracts and under
Article 19 of Law 9074/1995.
See more details on this
question in Explanatory Note 16 to the financial statements.
Transmission
When Provisional Measure 579/2012 (converted into Law 12783 of January 11, 2013) provided for bringing forward of
expiration of concessions, the companies that agreed to renewal of their concessions, which Cemig GT did for its
transmission business, retained their Annual Permitted Revenues (RAPs), that were time in force at that time, only up to
December 2012. As another consequence of the renewal of concessions, the tariff review planned for 2013 will take place
only in 2018.
In January 2013, as a result of the extraordinary review of transmission
revenues, the new RAPs were published. The

significant reduction of RAPs took place because the revenues of the transmission companies, from that point on, included
only the amounts relating to Operation and Maintenance of the assets, and other charges still existing at that time.
The rules for renewal stipulated an indemnity for the assets not yet depreciated, pre-defined tariffs for the electricity of the
generators, new RAPs for the transmission companies, new standards of quality to be set by Aneel, and use of the IPCA
inflation index for the annual updating of revenues in annual adjustments for transmission revenues, instead of adjustment
by the IGP-M index, previously used.
For the transmission companies, assets existing before
May 31, 2000 will receive compensation in the future. Aneel has not
yet approved the calculation methodology for the setting of the amount of this compensation.
For assets existing after May
31, 2000, compensation was made based on the New Replacement Value (Valor Novo de Reposição, or VNR), which was
calculated by Aneel at R$ 285 million.
With the compensation, the amounts
relating to the remuneration and depreciation were removed from the RAP, which
resulted in a different level of revenue for Cemig GT’s transmission operation,
set at R$ 179 million (including the revenue
from Itajubá), to be in effect from January through June 2013.
In July 2013 the annual adjustment of tariffs took place, and the RAP of Cemig GT was increased to R$ 199 million, with the
addition of revenues from new projects as well as the adjustment of the existing revenue from the previous period. The
variation in the total RAP from January to July was 11.66%.
INVESTMENTS IN GENERATION,
TRANSMISSION AND
DISTRIBUTION
The Cemig Group’s growth targets, and what
strategies will be used to achieve them, are established on the basis of the
Long-Term Strategic Plan. Achieving sustainable growth, focused on development of
electricity generation from renewable
sources, is one of Cemig’s strategic goals.
Cemig has adopted a structure for acquisitions based on partnerships with investment funds and strategic associates. Each
of these partnerships establishes a vehicle for growth that enables the Company to assume a strategic and competitive
position in the assets acquired, matching its expertise with the financial capacity of its partners — even though holding a
minority interest.
When Cemig begins a merger/acquisition process, it considers due diligence
to be of paramount importance – for evaluation,
identifying, measuring and managing each risk or contingency. This is a multidisciplinary activity and
involves a number of
knowledge areas – technical, environmental, legal, corporate, regulatory, real-estate, accounting, tax, labor and financial.
Thus, conducting due diligence is an indispensable tool in everything related to investment as a structure adopted by the
Company for growth.
To ensure business continuity, progress in the market and reliability and
availability of electricity to clients and consumers,
Cemig monitors its equity holdings by overseeing the management and development of subsidiaries and
associated
companies, actively participating in their management bodies, adhering to the standards of good corporate governance,
ensuring compliance with business plans and planning of the investment program. The following paragraphs list some of
Cemig’s major holdings, and highlight information about each.
Belo Monte
The Belo Monte hydroelectric power plant, managed by Norte Energia S.A. .
, on the
Xingu River near the cities of Altamira and Vitória do Xingu, in the state of Pará, is under construction: approximately 70% of
D M A
Norte Energia S.A., formed to build and operate the Belo Monte Plant, is owned by
private-sector and state-owned
companies in the electricity sector, pension funds and investment funds, and self-producing companies. EU6 EU10 EC7

its building works had been completed at the end of 2014.
It comprises two sites, Belo Monte and Pimental. The first is the main, 18-turbine facility, with generating capacity of
approximately 11,000 MW. The second is an auxiliary plant, with generating capacity of approximately 233 MW. When
completed, Belo Monte will thus have 8.7% of Brazil’s total installed generation capacity – making it the largest wholly
Brazilian hydroelectric complex. It will also be the third largest in the world – after China’s Three Gorges (22,500 MW), and the
14,000 MW bi-national Itaipu power plant (owned jointly by Paraguay and Brazil). The total investment in the Belo Monte
project was R$ 25.8 billion to date. Of this, R$ 3.7 billion has been allocated to compensatory actions.
As regards the various environmental programs that comprise Belo Monte’s Basic Environmental Project, in 2014 the
Company was able to strengthen its focus on satisfying the general and specific conditions of its Installation License. In late
2014 Brazil’s environmental regulator, Ibama, officially advised Norte Energia of the Federal Environmental Compensation
Board’s decision on funding, which, in keeping with current Brazilian law, calls for the creation and implementation of fully
protected conservation areas. According to the decision, almost 90% of the amount was distributed for implementation of
four existing federally protected areas managed by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) and
approximately 10% for the establishment of seven protected areas to be managed by the State of Pará’s Environment and
Sustainability Secretariat (SEMA-PA). Two areas within Belo Monte’s area of influence are noteworthy. One is a wildlife refuge
located in Tabuleiro do Embaubal, while the other, to be established in Volta Grande do Xingu, is an area ICMBio has
suggested that Norte Energia use as a compensation zone.
Santo Antônio
At the end of 2014 the Santo Antônio hydroelectric plant had 32 rotors in operation – with combined generating capacity of
approximately 2,300 MW. The plant put 15 new generating units into operation in the year. In November 2016, when it is
complete and operating at full capacity, the complex will have 50 rotors, and generating capacity of 3,568 MW. It represents
an investment of R$ 20 billion, and now employs 457 people.
The International Hydropower
Association (IHA), a non-profit founded some 20 years ago with Unesco support, which
measures the sustainability of hydropower projects, gave the Santo
Antônio Plant the maximum number of top grades in its
Implementation category. Its evaluations are based on four project protocol models: early stage;
preparation;
implementation; and operation. The Santo Antônio facility was included in the implementation protocol following analysis of
20 topics, with analysis under various headings – evaluation, management, stakeholder communications, stakeholder
support, consent, compliance and results. All the topics require technical documentation, internal and external interviews, and
verifiable evidence of sustainability. This assessment underlines Santo Antônio’s commitment to best global sustainability
practices.
Light
In 2014, Light remained focused on energy loss management — primarily through modernization of metering, and legalization
measures for irregular and delinquent clients. In the low-voltage segment, its modernization program investments – involving
indirect metering of large commercial and industrial clients – helped boost the percentage of mass memory meter-monitored
clients from 23% to 64%. Using this meter type, 9,135 upgrades were carried out in 2014, covering 14,182 clients. In the retail
segment, over 189,000 electronic meters were installed, for a total of 630,000 clients being tele-metered and monitored in
2014 (detailed below), by the Measurement and Control Center (CCM) and by Zero Loss Areas (APZs). Additionally, 121,201
inspections and 50,681 normalizations were carried out, which, in 2014, generated a total of 176.9 GWh loss reduction,
broken down as follows: 96.7 GWh in Energy Recovery; 51.5 GWh in Incorporated Energy; and 28.6 GWh in Load Reduction.
In parallel with the expansion of electronic measurement, modernizations, and adjustments in energy distribution, the Losses
Reduction Program continued to invest in the Light Legal Project (legal has double meaning – formally, ‘legal’, and
29
141
Table of Contents
colloquially, ‘cool’ / ‘acceptable’), which focuses on the regularization of irregular and delinquent clients. In
2014, eleven (11)
new Zero Loss Areas (APZs) were implemented, covering approximately 215,000 clients. At the end of year the project had
thirty-seven (37) APZs in operation, covering almost 630,000 clients. Commercial losses in these regions fell from 50% to
18.6% by November 2014. Initial timely payments, which had stood at 90%, reached 97.16% in November 2014.
Renova
In 2014, the Board of Directors of Renova Energia S.A. (Renova) approved a capital
increase by issue of 87,196,901 common
shares, without par value, of which 87,186,035 were subscribed by Cemig GT. Cemig GT’s stake in Renova thus increased
to
27.4% of the total stock and 36.8% of its voting stock.
On July 4, 2014,
the Brazilian Regulator, Aneel, published a notice in Brazil’s federal Official Gazette that Renova’s 14 wind
farms – which had contracted supply
at the 2009 Reserve Energy Auction (LER) — had begun commercial operation. From
that point, their supply (total installed capacity of 294.4 MW) began to be
calculated per the terms of the commercial contract
between Renova and the CCEE (Electricity Trading Chamber). Until the start of commercial operation, these
facilities had
been receiving revenue for energy sold, under contract.
On
October 13, 2014, Aneel published Dispatch 4108, dated October 10, approving startup of commercial operations for six of
Renova’s wind farms, the supply from
which had been contracted at the 2010 LER. As of October 11, the power from these
facilities (total installed capacity 167.7 MW) began to be calculated under the
terms of the commercial contract between
Renova and the CCEE.
In addition to
start of commercial operation of these wind farms, another important step in 2014 was the November 24
announcement of a joint venture between Renova and Sun Edison
Brasil, to build 1 GW of solar energy projects in Brazil.
Renova’s sales in the Regulated Market in 2014 were as follows:
1) – at the LER (‘Reserve Energy’) auction:
42.7 MW average, representing
150.4 MW in installed wind and solar energy capacity, comprising:
8 MWa of solar energy, corresponding to 106.9 MWp of installed capacity, to be generated by four
facilities; and
9 MWa of wind energy, based on 43.5 MW of installed capacity, to be generated by three wind farms.
– all these wind and solar facilities are in the state of Bahia, near the Alto Sertão complex;
2) – and at the 2014 A–5 ‘New Energy’ (‘LEN’) auction:
49.4
MWa, to be generated by five wind farms with installed capacity of 108.0 MW.
In the free market, Renova sold a total of 308.0 MWa in 2014 – corresponding to
676.2 MW of installed capacity – from a
project owned 50%/50% by Renova and Cemig.
The Zeus Project
In 2014, Renova signed a contract for a 50% stake in the ‘Zeus’
Project, to build 25 wind farms, with installed capacity for
676.2 MW, in Jacobina, in the state of Bahia. On completion of this transaction Cemig will control 50%
of the total and voting
capital of a listed company to be created by Renova to hold all contracts related to the project.
Madeira Energia
In partnership with pension funds, through the FIP Melbourne Investment Fund
(Fundo de Investimento em Participação
Melbourne), Cemig GT increased its ownership interest in Madeira Energia S.A. (Mesa), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Santo
30
142
Table of Contents
Antônio Energia S.A., which holds the concession to operate the Santo Antônio hydroelectric plant on the Madeira River in
the
state of Rondônia. FIP Melbourne acquired 10.3% of the stake that Andrade Gutierrez Participações S.A. held in Mesa.
Retiro Baixo
Cemig GT signed a contract with Orteng Equipamentos e Sistemas S.A. and Arcadis
Logos Energia S.A. to purchase 49.9% of
the total share capital of Retiro Baixo Energética S.A. (RBE). RBE, an unlisted company, holds the concession for
the Retiro
Baixo hydroelectric plant on the lower course of the Paraopeba River in the state of Minas Gerais, with installed capacity of
83.7MW and assured energy level of 38.5 MW average.
Ampliação (Power Expansion)
Project:
The Ampliação Project is Cemig’s strategic initiative to increase the installed capacity of Small Hydroelectric Plants (SHPs):
Salto do Paraopeba, owned by Horizontes Energia S.A.; Poço Fundo, owned by Cemig GT; and Paraúna, owned by the
Brazilian federal government and under Cemig GT’s administration. The project seeks to increase levels of generation
capacity and energy output through increases in installed capacity and better use of the hydro potential.
Aliança
In 2014 Cemig obtained authorization from governmental agencies to establish
Aliança Geração de Energia S.A., a joint
venture to be subscribed by transfer of ownership interests in the following power generation assets:
Porto Estrela, Igarapava,
Funil, Capim Branco I and II, Aimorés and Candonga, and others, giving Aliança total installed capacity of 1,158 MW (652
MWa). The two partner companies – Vale and Cemig GT – will respectively own 55% and 45% of the share capital. Aliança
will be a platform for consolidation of the generation assets owned by the parties in generation consortiums and future
electric power projects. The Company is expected to be operational in January 2015.
Gasmig
In 2014, Cemig acquired Petrobras’s 40% stake in Companhia de Gás de Minas Gerais – Gasmig.
In 2014 Gasmig sold 1.531 billion m³ of natural gas – 3.0% more than in 2013 – of which 0.447 billion m³ was purchased by
thermoelectric power plants, and 1.085 billion m³ by other sectors of the economy, for revenue of R$ 1.675 billion.
This 3.0% increase in sales came mainly from a 4.18% increase in sales to the industrial sector. Consumption of natural gas
by thermal plants remained essentially at the same level as in 2013 – with slim growth of 0.78% in 2014.
At the end of 2014, Gasmig’s clients were a total of 1,825 consumers, in 34 municipalities of Minas Gerais State: a) 110 large
and medium-sized industrial companies; b) 177 small industrial companies and commercial / service establishments; c) 84
Vehicle Natural Gas (VNG) resale points; d) 2 Industrial Compressed Natural Gas (ICNG) distribution companies; e) 2 Vehicle
Compressed Natural Gas (VCNG) distribution companies; f) 2 companies in the cogeneration, generation and HVAC segment;
g) 1,446 residential units; and h) 2 thermoelectric power plants. Of this total of clients, 94 are new customers with contracts
signed in 2014.

In 2014, Gasmig invested R$ 61.4 million to expand distribution networks in the state of Minas Gerais, building 64.8 km of gas
pipelines in the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Area, in the South of Minas, in the Vale do Aço region and in Juiz de Fora,
meeting the needs of commercial and industrial segment consumers.
Gasmig’s other 2014
highlights included:
- The significant scale of its industrial clients as a percentage of total sales and revenues.
- Entry into the market of co-generation, generation and climate control in the second half of 2014.
- Sales to the automotive segment (vehicle natural gas) 6.8% lower than in 2013, due to market contraction.
- Opening of two new VNG fueling stations: one in the Vale do Aço and the other in the South of Minas, bringing this
economical and sustainable fuel option to two significant gateways in the Minas Gerais hinterlands.
- Participation in VNG conversion projects for municipal, as well as Cemig’s own, fleets. The “I’m going Gas” campaign –
which offered bonuses to drivers who adapted their vehicles to VNG use – ended on December 31, 2014, having attracted
over 4,500 participants, most of whom (61%) were taxi drivers.
- Increase of 11.9% in the
segment of general users – which mainly comprises small industrial companies and commercial
establishments consuming up to 2,000 m³/day. Gasmig has
significant growth potential in this segment, particularly within
the universe of clients that can be captured through expansion of networks in urban areas and
industrial districts. This
market segment provides a vital offset for swings in consumption by the industrial market.
- To widen service to non-residential urban clients, Gasmig continued work on the South Ring Project, installing distribution
networks and expanding service to more clients in a number of Belo Horizonte neighborhoods. The networks already in
operation in Belo Horizonte, Contagem, Nova Lima, Juiz de Fora, Poços de Caldas (South of Minas Gerais State) and Ipatinga
(Vale do Aço “steel valley” region) posted a 101.3% increase in consumption from 2013. Implementations in the Belo
Horizonte metro area are continuing on schedule and with excellent market acceptance.
-
Bringing Natural Gas To The Hinterlands – In 2013, Gasmig launched its first initiative to deliver natural gas supply to
hinterland areas, the “GNC
Governador Valadares–Itabira Project.” A 1.7 km network was built to supply natural gas for the
project, and Gasmig distributed an average volume of
2,791 m³/day to connected clients in 2014. In August 2014, another
project was launched, to supply natural gas, through a structuring project supplied by
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), to

this local distribution network, in
Varginha, is scheduled to start up in 2015.
Taesa
Transmissora Aliança de Energia Elétrica S.A. (Taesa) is
a private company controlled by Cemig GT – which owns 42.38% of
the voting stock and 43.36% of the total stock – and by the investment fund FIP
Coliseu, which owns, builds and operates
transmission lines throughout Brazil. It has been the driving force for Cemig’s growth in the transmission sector.
In 2014, Taesa began operations at São Gotardo II and signed a concession agreement with the city of Mariana. It made
complete studies for all the auctions that were held, but did not win any of them. In October 2014, FIP Coliseu renewed its
participation in the Stockholders’ Agreement, while Santander withdrew.
Taesa is
occupying an increasingly significant market position. It reported 2014 net profit of R$ 689 million, and invested R$
2.15 million in environmental initiatives. A
highlight was the “Vida boa com energia” (‘Great Life with Power’) project, part of
the Social Communication and Environmental Education
Program, which meets demands of Aneel, Ibama and other
environmental bodies. The following is a map Taesa’s transmission lines:

Distribution Development Plan (PDD)
The aim of
this program is continuous expansion of availability of electricity, with the quality, safety and quantities required by
clients, while also promoting social and
economic development in Cemig D’s concession area – through the investment in
electricity assets that is necessary to increase and improve the
Company’s distribution services.
The Program comprises work at high, medium and low voltages to expand, strengthen, overhaul and renew Cemig D’s assets.
This includes: construction and expansion of substations; expansion, strengthening and renovation of high-, medium- and
low-voltage distribution lines; and replacement and installation of equipment in medium-voltage substations and distribution
lines.
The five-year investment cycle, in conformity with sector regulations, covers the years
2013–2017. Investments totaling R$
3.74 billion have been approved, distributed among the following macro-projects:
High-voltage expansion and reinforcement.
Service to consumers and accessing parties
(“Cemig Participation”).
High-voltage system refurbishment.
High-voltage operation and maintenance.
Medium- and low-voltage customer
service in urban markets.
Medium- and low-voltage customer service in rural markets.
Low- and high-voltage supplementary program (“Cemig Participation”).
Third-party
safety (“Cemig Participation”).
Renovation of medium and low voltage networks.
Medium- and low-voltage operation and maintenance.
Metering changeover / Boundary Metering.
Environment.
Telecommunications.
These investments are to ensure sustainability of the distribution business, optimize value for stockholders through
profitability and cash flow, and ensure customer satisfaction through the continuous supply of electricity. The means to this
end are: ever-greater efficiency in operational processes; compliance with regulator-established quality requirements; and
reduction of losses – in other words, guaranteeing the market’s access to safe and quality energy, in a way that also satisfies
all environmental requirements. Evidence that this is being achieved can be clearly seen from the improvements in the
indicators of Client Satisfaction, Energy Quality and Reduction of losses.
ELECTRICITY
INCLUSION INITIATIVES
With the publication of Aneel Normative Resolution 488 of May 15, 2012, and to serve those who registered to receive
electricity in rural areas within its concession area, Cemig produced its Rural Area Electric Power Distribution Services
Universalization Plan, for implementation over the period 2012–2014. Aneel-established targets for 2014 were partially met,
hampered only by population increases in some regions of the concession area and the complexity of the construction
timetable.
New targets were established for the Universalization Plan following publication of
Aneel Dispatch No. 2,344, of July 17, 2012,
which stated that the Company had not provided universal access in the rural areas in which it operates. The new
targets
were for service to a potential client list, initially, of 56,177 beneficiaries (figure supplied by Aneel). Those interested in joining
the Rural Universalization initiative need to visit a Cemig Service Center (presenting required documentation) and request
connection.
In 2014, Cemig suggested postponement of the Universalization Plan, proposing new
targets and deadlines for 2016. EU26

Table of Contents
However, Aneel rejected this request.
At the end
of 2014 Cemig D was serving 93.8% of the rural consumers registered in its concession area. This existence of the
shortfall is basically due to natural growth of
the consumer base, usually the result of subdivision of rural properties – and the
increase of the population living in the countryside.
Access to electricity has become an instrument of social integration and economic improvement for the countryside
communities served. It improves quality of life; offers comfort; facilitates opportunities to enhance health and safety;
increases job opportunities and income; adds value in production, marketing and conservation of rural products; expands
access to information; furthers the acquisition of durable goods; and encourages the permanent return of families to the
countryside – providing some relief in mitigation of the effect that cities have suffered from an uncontrolled exodus from the
countryside.
For Cemig, investment in this market means expansion of its client base,
contributing to a strategic aim of improvement in its
cash flow.
The two main
Cemig programs to increase electricity access are:
Rural Electrification Program
Within the Universalization Plan it presented to Aneel, Cemig D continues to bring service to rural areas, further building on
the Luz para todos (“Light for Everyone”) program – of which it completed all the projects in its concession area in December
2011.
The target of Cemig’s Rural Electrification Plan is to provide installation, free
of charge, of one electricity line per property, for
load of up to 50 kW. In 2014 Cemig brought power to approximately 6,000 new consumer units. Approximately R$
70 million
in investments covered the work required to build new networks and also respond to requests for service in places where the
network was already available for installation. Of these calls, approximately 1,000 were requests to increase load, from clients
seeking to expand rural activities on their properties.
Urban Market Client Service
Since 2006, when the regulator certified that it deemed Cemig D’s concession area to have been universalized, Cemig D has
met all service requests it has received. In 2014 it connected no less than 235,000 new consumer units. This number is the
total of connections that required building of new network, and requests for connection in places where the network was
already available.
CEMIG’S BRAND AND REPUTATION
Cemig has been researching the value of its brand and its reputation since 2007. The goal is to have an increasingly strong
brand and a constantly improving reputation.
Brand Value
Since Cemig begun assessing the value of its brand, this valuation has been carried out by the company Brand Finance. This
valuation increased by 8% from 2013 to 2014 – reflecting (i) perception of increase in the strength of the brand, and (ii)
perception by clients and investors of better performance.
This rise to its highest level
since measurement began consolidates a recovery after the worst effects of Provisional Measure
No. 579 of 2012 (Brazilian Law No. 12,783/2013).

INNOVATION
The quest for innovation is one of Cemig’s strategic objectives. Through technology solution research for its many
businesses, it aims to sustain long-term growth. The main arms of these efforts are its Research and Development (R&D)
Program, and its Alternative Energy Source projects, which are described below.

Research and Development projects
Cemig sees
technology as a business development factor that adds value to its products and services. One of the strategies
adopted to guarantee constant technological
improvement and encourage innovation is the creation of partnerships and
exchanges with universities, research centers and companies interested in promoting
technological excellence in Minas
Gerais.
Through its Strategic Technology
Management, which forms technological strategies aligned with the entrepreneurial
guidelines, Cemig seeks to ensure use of the most appropriate technologies, as
well as rapid responses to changing
scenarios. This keeps it prepared for the frequent adjustments that must be made within a dynamic and competitive market.
Cemig’s Research and Development Program (R&D) generates processes, new methodologies, software, materials, devices
and equipment designed to improve electrical systems and operating processes, and also heighten personal safety and
property security – benefiting the Company, the sector, and society as a whole.
Cemig
invests 1% of its annual net operating revenue in R&D and Energy Efficiency. Over the past 15 years it has invested in
over 450 R&D projects, over a wide a
variety of subjects. Solutions are developed to problems ranging from engineering and
environmental challenges to energy efficiency, operational efficiency and
alternative energy sources.
In 2014 alone, there were over 160 projects at various stages of development, for investment of more than R$ 60 million.
Cemig calculates its INOV indicator annually: investment in the year as a percentage of the Company’s net operating revenue.
In 2014, the INOV index was 0.31%.
To safeguard intellectual and industrial property,
Cemig’s Trademarks and Patents Office promotes and centralizes activities
related to the procurement of registered trademarks, patents and computer programs.
The benefits of patenting include the
possibility of marketing inventions, and stimulation of creativity. Patenting also promotes the Company’s image, and
bolsters
workplace efficiency through use of increasingly appropriate technologies. With 51 patents filed since 1992, Cemig is the
electricity utility in Brazil with the largest number of patents registered with the country’s National Industrial Property Institute
(INPI). Nine patents were granted to the Company in 2014, and nine new patent applications were filed and are pending.
To date, there have been no financial gains recorded from the sale of rights or royalties for use of patents. However, Cemig
has enjoyed a competitive advantage over its rivals through the exclusive use of its patents, especially in relation to
workplace safety and operational efficiency, which have generated tangible productivity gains.
Major R&D projects developed in 2014
The State of Minas Gerais Energy
Balance Sheet
In a task delegated to it by the state’s Energy Council (Coner), every year Cemig produces an Energy Balance Sheet for the
State of Minas Gerais – a comprehensive survey of sources, uses and allocations of energy in the state in the year. In
December 2014 it was published for the 28th year – giving the figures for 2012 – updating the historical series of data for the
period since 1978. It is available for download.
The publication presents important and
essential data for studies related to integrated energy planning, energy efficiency,
technology management, socioeconomic activities, greenhouse gas emissions and
sustainable development. Once again this
edition shows the preponderant share of the state’s energy coming from renewable sources.
Technical and commercial steps to including solar photovoltaic generation in the Brazilian energy matrix
This project aims to identify technical and economic bottlenecks related to getting photovoltaic generation systems
connected to the Brazilian grid. The study conceives: implementation of a business model; design and installation of a pilot
plant optimized for technical and economic performance; specific research into performance of systems; assessment of EC2 EC4 EN7 EU7 EU8

positive and negative effects on the distribution network; and further studies focusing on improving the regulatory framework
and tax regime.
Power generation using biogas from bio-digestion of vinasse
In 2014, R&D Project GT453, a partnership with Methanum Engenharia Ambiental and Efficientia, was completed. Its main
aim was to develop a purification system for biogas originating from vinasse for generation of electricity. The pilot unit was
installed at the Monte Alegre plant (of the Adecoagro Group) in Minas Gerais, and supplied with biogas generated from a
vinasse methanizing plant which has been in constant operation since the 2010 crop year, producing 15m³ biogas/m³ of
vinasse with an H2S concentration of approximately 30,000ppmV (unlike other processes where the concentration is not
more than 5,000ppmV). A patent application for this invention is being prepared.
Though the
planned cost of this project was approximately R$ 723,000, it was completed under budget for R$ 682,000
(Cemig contributed R$ 152,000 in 2014). This indicates a
financially viable process, and one that promises to increase
capacity for generation of power at the point of delivery (thus also reducing infrastructure costs of
a sales network). To this
end, implementation of the projects provides increasing incentive for development of such new alternative energy sources,
creating new business opportunities for Cemig in the biomass segment, and reducing renewable energy investments that are
often more costly.

Energy alternatives
From Cemig’s perspective, the term ‘energy alternatives’
embraces the entire energy chain, including: transportation,
processing, technological routes, provision and storage, energy efficiency and end-use of energy. As
these are integral and
mutually dependent elements in the energy matrix, the world of energy alternatives includes new technologies, distributed
generation, smart grid design, electric vehicles, energy efficiency and the best use of traditional energy resources. Thus, as is
demonstrated in the figure above, one fact about energy alternatives is that they are interconnected.

ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGICAL SOURCES
Cemig monitors state-of-the-art technologies, and has focused its efforts on development of new technological routes and
new business options in the energy field. Due to its expertise, Cemig is in constant demand to participate in groups and on
committees, such as the Energy Committee of the Federation of Industries of the State of Minas Gerais (Fiemg); the Minas
Gerais State Committee on Biodiesel Policy; the Minas Gerais State Energy Plan development group, in association with State
Foundation on the Environment (Feam) and the Minas Gerais State Department for the Environment (Semad); as well as the
group that is developing a Municipal Climate Change Plan in association with the City of Belo Horizonte. The impacts
associated with energy alternatives are essentially positive or have positive intentions, and offer the following possibilities:

Local and regional development
Impacts are identified through the research process or technological evaluation. Management is based on recommendations,
policies and guidelines on energy alternatives, which are issued mainly through technical documents, and also through the
positioning of leading professionals on this subject.
The Mineirão Solar Photovoltaic
Plant, a massive photovoltaic array on the roof of the iconic Mineirão football stadium of
Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, started operation in April 2014
– in time for the stadium to host Soccer World Cup games later
in the year. It was built for investment of approximately € 3.7 million. With peak
generating capacity of 1.42 MW, it is now the
largest photovoltaic plant in terms of power generation installed at any stadium in the world – able to provide
energy
equivalent to the consumption of approximately 1,200 mid-sized homes.

CLIENTS AND
CONSUMERS
Consumer Relationship
Cemig’s business mission and future
vision statements make clear the strategic importance of striving for service excellence
and client and consumer satisfaction. Issues related to clients and
consumers are important Company priorities, regularly
monitored by management and stockholders.
There is in practice a direct link between each employee and client satisfaction – in that the employees’ variable
compensation is in part dependent on the Company’s score in the Aneel Consumer Satisfaction Index (IASC).
Adoption of this position has several positive effects:
Compliance with regulatory indicators
of quality, continuity of supply, and customer satisfaction.

Recognition for Cemig in the form of awards – an important example is the No. 1 position in Época magazine’s
‘Complaint Line’ award (researched by the magazine’s website of that name, a leading consumer complaints forum) –
for the second year running.
Recognition through satisfaction surveys – leading examples
are the Aneel Residential Consumer Satisfaction Index
(IASC), and the Perceived Quality Satisfaction Index (ISQP) published by Brazilian Electricity
Distributors’ Association
(Abradee).
Increase in the valuation of the
brand, and Cemig’s high reputation in the markets it serves.
The area of client satisfaction carries with it regulatory risks: a concession holder may be
penalized financially by regulators
(such as Aneel) or administrative bodies (such as consumer protection and defense agencies, such as Procons) in relation to
these indices, and may also be punished, in several ways, for misconduct. Preventive measures that have been adopted
include compliance with all requirements, standards and regulatory targets – as well as involuntary measures aiming, in
keeping with the Company’s vision, to achieve consumers’ admiration.
The results of
management activities in relation to service and client satisfaction are evaluated using performance indicators
based on Balanced Scorecard (BSC) tools. These
indicators establish goals to stimulate improvement of performance, and
measure it by various means:
performance of service channels – e.g. waiting times, call center service levels, response times, time from service
request to fulfillment, duration and frequency of complaints, clients’ reviews of customer service staff;
performance of the electricity system – e.g. frequency and duration of complaints on operational failures,
disconnection index, performance on critical days, etc.;
satisfaction indices; and
indices related to safety experienced and perceived by the public in interactions with the electrical system.
These indicators provide a permanent motive for continuous improvement of customer service and satisfaction. An example
in 2014 was the creation of Cemig’s app ‘Cemig Atende’(‘Cemig at your Service’) for iOS and Android platforms.
Other notable initiatives:
Simultaneous reading and printing of electricity bills
The On-Site Billing process uses handheld meter readers with built-in processing capacity to calculate the client’s electricity
bill on-site, printing it immediately on a portable thermal printer. This saves up to 14% of the cost of printing and delivering
electricity bills; and the improved transparency results in greater client satisfaction.
This
is an offline process, with no instantaneous connection to the central database. It was rolled out in February 2013, and
by January 2015 was serving 3.7 million
clients, or 47.4% of Cemig’s market. The current target is 7 million clients, by
December 2016.
The success of the process is seen in the 2014 ISQP satisfaction survey, in which the item Electricity bill was once again a
highlight, with a client satisfaction score of 89.8% – showing sustained improvement over three years. Satisfaction with the
items Time between delivery and due date and Payment date improved by 5.3 and 4.0 percentage points, respectively, from
2013.
E-delivery of electricity bills
This new digital option fits well with a corporate guideline of adding technologies to reduce costs without compromising
quality. Cemig offered it for the first time via its ‘Virtual Branch’ website in July 2013: clients can receive not only bills but also
power outage warnings, bank debit notices, and a range of other company and related information.
41
153
Table of Contents
This option helps clients feel they are contributing to sustainability and preservation of the environment.
As of December 2014, approximately 44,000 clients had chosen to switch to electronic electricity bills.
Street lighting
Aneel Normative Resolution 414 of 2010 ordered electricity concession holders
to transfer their public lighting
assets to local governments by December 31, 2014. This was to comply with Article 30, Section V of Brazil’s 1988
Federal Constitution, which gives municipalities the competency of “organizing and providing, directly or by
concession or permission, the public services of local interest” – and gives municipalities the exclusive power to
charge the population for the funds necessary to finance public lighting, using concession holders’ electricity bills for
the purpose. Cemig has been executing this process of transfer since 2013 – working with the Minas Gerais State
Regional Development and Urban Policy Unit (SEDRU), and representatives of municipalities and intermunicipal
associations. In some cases this involves organizing municipal governments into consortia for financial and scale
gains in a tender process. Moreover, Cemig has helped municipalities organize maintenance: specifying suitable
materials, disseminating technical standards and guidelines, and emphasizing necessary safety considerations.
Aneel has recognized Cemig’s distinctive work in this field for public authorities in its concession area.
CONSUMER SATISFACTION
The Aneel Consumer Satisfaction Index (IASC) and the Perceived Quality
Satisfaction Index (ISQP) are important consumer
perception tools that help Cemig improve the services it provides.
In 2014 Cemig’s IASC score increased by 6.77 points, from 61.98 in 2013 to 68.75 in 2014 – an increase of 10.92% in
absolute terms, and still above the industry average for the nation and for the Southeast region, as this charts shows:

This reversal of the downward trend in IASC and ISQP results in 2014 reflects the success of Cemig’s client outreach
strategy, a series of actions brought together and approved by the Company’s Client Committee. Highlights include the
‘Coffee with Cemig’ initiative, which invites clients, mainly housewives, to chat about company activities; launch of new
service channels, such as the Cemig Customer Service App for smartphones and tablets; and, especially, Cemig’s actions to
improve service – such as the Distribution Development Program (PDD) which, among other objectives, aims to reduce the
frequency and duration of outages.
The Medium Voltage Client Satisfaction Index (ISMT)
ascertains levels of large clients’ satisfaction with the distribution
company’s product quality and services. In 2014, telephone interviews were
conducted with 550 clients in the A4 tariff
subgroup (Medium Voltage: 2.3 to 25 kV), resulting in a satisfaction index of 82.2%.
The prefectures of municipalities in Cemig’s concession area are periodically asked to complete a survey that results in the
Municipal Government Satisfaction Index (ISPM) – taken once within the four-year term of office of each administration. In
2014, face-to-face interviews were held with 280 mayors from all the regions of Minas Gerais, representing a sampling of 36%
of all municipal administrations in Cemig’s service area. The result was a satisfaction rating of 75%. The survey evaluated
responses on: electricity supply quality and continuity; information and guidelines provided for municipalities; globalized
billing; customer service for municipal governments (behavior, relationship, organization); image; social and environmental
responsibility; construction works, and other services; after-sale support on construction and other services; relationship;
negotiation of accounts in arrears; and public lighting.
This index has risen by 4.7% from
2009 to 2014.
RELATIONSHIP CHANNELS
Cemig makes a number of relationship
channels available, invests in innovation and offers energy conservation guidelines as
part of its criteria for rendering responsible services.
Cemig’s Consumer Council represents collective interests and works to defend them, putting forward suggestions,
cooperating in oversight, and forwarding complaints and grievances to Cemig about general electrical energy supply
conditions. In 2014 it held five regular meetings with representatives from the Industrial and Residential consumer
categories. The main subjects of discussion were tariffs, electricity supply quality, satisfaction index, the situation of the
distribution companies, and the matrix of energy sources. Highlights in 2014 were the meetings held in new regions of the
43
155
Table of Contents
state, educative information supplied to members of the Consumer Council about electricity sector issues, holding of a public
hearing to address supply issues, and participation of members of the Consumer Council at electricity industry events.
Cemig has a mix of relationship channels that includes online, in-person and telephone options. All are governed by the
concepts of respect and transparency, seeking always to provide clients with increasing convenience, reliability and comfort.
Consumers can receive in-person customer service through the Cemig Fácil (‘Easy’) Customer Care Network, available at 155
service branches and 622 service points in 774 municipalities in the concession area. Telephone services – the ‘Fale com
Cemig’ or ‘Talk to Cemig’ facility – are available to all clients 24/7 by dialing 116.
Cemig also offers customer service by text messaging (‘Cemig Torpedo’) – via the number 29810 – for three types of subject:
(1) power outages; (2) request for balance payable; and (3) request for meter reading.
A
highlight in 2014 was the visual redesign of the Virtual Branch, to make it more user-friendly and ‘navigable’. Clients have
24/7 access to all the
services of the Virtual Branch, using only their personal or corporate tax number and a password.

Since 2013 Cemig has offered customer service through social networks, including Facebook (Facebook.com/Cemig.atende)
and Twitter (Cemig_atende). These channels aim to provide greater interactivity with and between Cemig clients, in a channel
where users can request all the services and information available and receive straightforward and objective answers to
questions, and also tips on use of electricity. In 2014 these channels reached approximately 1.3 million people and made
58,900 customer service contacts. Cemig currently has 10,000 Twitter followers. The performance of the Talk to Cemig
channel in its relationship with clients through social networks was so significant that, in 2014, it was nominated for Época
magazine’s Reclame Aqui (‘Complaint Line’’) award, in the Public Services – Electricity category, for the second year running.
Customer service has evolved with technology and, in 2014 Cemig launched the ‘Cemig Customer Service’ (Cemig Atende)
app for smartphones and tablets – available for free download via Google Play (Android) and Apple’s App Store (iOS). Easy to
use, the application provides services, account history, important tips and a consumption simulator, offering clients an energy
use estimate for their main domestic appliances. By the end of 2014 Cemig had made 7,794 customer service contacts
through this app, or an average of 72 per day. The year also increased the number of clients agreeing to receive their bills by
e-mail – which rose to 46,700 clients at the end of the year, saving the Company approximately R$ 303,000.
Cemig also seeks to offer the best possible service and interaction to clients with special needs. As well as all Cemig’s Inperson
Client Service Branches having been upgraded to comply with the accessibility required by Brazilian Standard (ABNT-NBR)
9050. These needs are also met by the Talk to Cemig toll-free number (0800-723-8007), the Cemig online channels, the
Cemig text message service for the hearing impaired, and the new Cemig Customer Service app for smartphones and tablets.
The online channels can also be used by client with special needs through dedicated devices and adapted software. Other
services can be requested via the website, such as registration and information, electricity use for vital needs, and receipt of
electricity bills in Braille.
All the client channels have information security in place
protecting all client information against violation of privacy or data
loss. As well as its information security policy, Cemig has comprehensive internal
procedures and forms of control for data
security, as well as producing bulletins and information campaigns on data security directed to employees. Cemig does not
in
any way sell or make commercial use of its clients’ data.
Cemig’s Ombudsman
The office of Cemig’s Ombudsman has a track
record of quality in handling of demands passed to the Company by
Aneel. In 2014 this office was selected by the regulator to implement a pilot project for a
nationwide scheme, called
‘Pathway to Understanding’ (Caminho do Entendimento). In this approach, any complaint filed with Aneel – even if it
has not come through any of a utility company’s service channels – is handled by the company’s Ombudsman, who
then deals directly with the client. If the case is resolved, the matter is concluded without any need for further
involvement by the regulator. Data collected in the pilot project period (August–December 2014) showed a 62.81%
reduction in Cemig’s exposure to the regulatory body, as client problems were solved within the company context,
avoiding involving the regulator in any further demands, such as appeals. Following the experiment at Cemig, as
from January 1, 2014 Aneel has implemented the ‘Pathway to Understanding’ procedure in all of Brazil’s electricity
distributors.
The electricity sector was in the news in 2014 on many fronts – with the
media highlighting, for example: the
drought, affecting hydroelectric reservoirs; activation of the thermoelectric plants; the resulting increased electricity
rates in ‘flagged’ periods of increased generation cost; rate increases above inflation; the rate for low-income users;
the transfer of responsibility for public lighting; and ‘universalization’ of supply. This constant presence in the media
has made citizens more aware of industry issues – and the number of contacts with the Ombudsman increased by
43% from 2013, to 61,132. Of these contacts, 56,000 were requests for information.

A total of 30,830 direct contacts were made with the regulator about Cemig in 2014 – an increase of 10.5% from
2013. Of these, 7,688 became cases and were referred to Cemig’s Ombudsman for attention.
It had been planned to expand the Traveling Ombudsman project in 2014; but this was prevented by the internal
adjustments and adaptations necessary for the Pathway to Understanding initiative. Expansion of interaction with
other areas of the Company is planned for 2015, mainly for publicizing the Pathway to Understanding project. This
will be an important step in strengthening the Ombudsman as a channel for resolution of complaints – and
identifying opportunities for internal improvements.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY QUALITY
Distributors are subject to assessment of the quality of service and product that they provide to consumers, and a prominent
measure used for this is assessment of outages. These measurements focus on: the average outage Duration and Frequency
indicators SAIDI and SAIFI; the Individual outage frequency and duration indicators DIC and FIC; and the Maximum consumer
outage duration indicator DMIC.
To meet the standards imposed by the regulatory agency and
expected by clients, Cemig is continuously further developing
operational management and organization of logistics to handle emergencies; and carrying out
performance inspections and
preventive maintenance on substations, transmission lines and distribution networks. It also invests in training its
professionals in state-of-the-art technologies, and standardization of work processes. The goal is to guarantee quality in the
power supply and, hence, client and consumer satisfaction.
The SAIDI (duration) and SAIFI
(outage) indicators contribute to the effectiveness of these activities. They distinguish
between scheduled outages and those caused by accidents. (Continuous
improvement of the network calls for occasional
programmed outages.)
The
charts below show the changes, in the last three years, in Cemig’s total indicators of average outage duration (SAIDI,
measured in hours) and average outage
frequency (SAIFI, a number). Note the reduction of total SAIDI by almost four hours,
and the decline in SAIDI and SAIFI due to accidents for the third consecutive
year. In 2014 the Company met the goals set by
Aneel for both indicators. These results reflect investments made by Cemig in preventive maintenance, such as, for
example:
clearing vegetation along transmission line pathways; tree pruning; replacement of cross-arms; maintenance of structures;
46

replacement of poles, transformers and damaged cables; and work such as network shielding, and reworking and
interconnection of circuits. Another important move was a network-wide upgrade of standards in technology – through
systematic investment in automation of the system, including automatic and remote restart of supply following outages.

If a distributor
fails to meet individual continuity indicators (DIC, FIC, DMIC and Outage Duration on Critical Days (DICRI)), it is
obliged to compensate the consumer financially.
The table below shows a significant reduction in such compensation in the
period from 2012 to 2014, of 55.8%, due to investments and restructuring of systems and
processes. In other words, the
investments made in the Distribution Development Plan (PDD) have led to the standards set by the regulator being met, and
improvement in client satisfaction – as well as reducing any compensation payments.

CONSUMER HEALTH AND SAFETY
There are of course no
labeling requirements for electricity – but Cemig invests in communications on safe use of electricity,
both by campaigns in the media and by providing
multiple relationship channels that offer information to consumers. Other
information – about social, environmental and economic impacts – is available
to the public in, among other sources, the
Annual and Sustainability Reports, which are on the website. All Cemig’s communications obey the recommendations of
the
Brazilian Corporate Communications Association (Aberje); its advertising agencies obey the Brazilian Advertising Self-
Regulation Code, established by the Brazilian Council for Self-Regulation in Advertising (Conar).
Cemig carries out a variety of accident prevention activities and campaigns addressed to the general public, including:
lectures and presentations at construction sites and in schools, calendars with electricity safety tips, public service spots on
radio and internet media, and the TV and radio safety campaign featuring the ‘Angel Gabriel’. The number of accidents
involving the general public was 19% lower in 2014 than 2013:
In December 2014, there were 192
legal actions in progress for accidents to the public, involving fatalities and injuries. In
2014, 25 of these actions were heard: 5 were rejected; 3 were upheld;
4 were upheld in part; and 11 were settled out of court.
TARIFFS
Tariffs are
an important subject for Cemig – especially for its Distribution and Transmission businesses. In both cases, all the
revenues from the businesses are earned
either in the form of tariffs – in Distribution, or as Annual Permitted Revenue (RAP),
in Transmission. After Law 12,783 of January 11, 2013, the generation
business has gained added importance, due to the
early renewal of concessions, and introduction of the concept of Annual Generation Revenues (RAG).
Because it operates in a regulated market, Cemig’s tariffs are regulated and enforced by the Brazilian electricity regulator,
Aneel (National Electricity Agency). As well as setting rates, Aneel also determines the cost associated with each type of
consumer, which is used to calculate the different tariffs for the different voltages consumed.
To identify and manage regulatory risks, Cemig takes action to monitor and analyze the evolution of the regulatory context
governing electricity services – and proposes changes to maximize and safeguard the Company’s results, in alignment with
the interests of clients and consumers. Working jointly with others, the Company plays an effective role at public hearings
held by Aneel, proposing changes and criteria for methods of calculating rates for retail and wholesale supply, transmission,
and the other ways in which Cemig provides electricity services.
The approach to tariff
management uses the indicator Projected vs. Actual Revenue – which assesses the effectiveness of
the forecasts that Cemig has made based on knowledge of
rates and authorized revenues. The Board of Directors evaluates
this indicator periodically, and possible points of enhancement and divergence are assessed, within
the process of
continuous improvement. In this way, preventive and/or corrective measures are adopted so as to ensure that management
mechanisms adhere to company goals. All Cemig’s regulatory processes are monitored and reviewed regularly by the
Committee for Regulatory Affairs (CAR), made up of representatives of all management departments. The committee is
responsible for evaluating and offering proposals for contributions at public hearings held by Aneel and the Mining and
Energy Ministry.

There is also an automated computer system for Monitoring of Regulatory Obligations (‘Condor’), which monitors deadlines
and compliance with requests and obligations imposed by industry bodies. The indicator Level of Fulfillment of Regulatory
Obligations (‘Icor’) regularly evaluates this monitoring system.
The main risks
relating to this subject can be classified as:
- Legal risks: Lawsuits and injunctions challenging the results of processes of Tariff Reviews or Tariff
Adjustments. For these
risks, the Company provides its legal bodies and advisers with all the information relating to the business and its regulation,
to provide a robust foundation for arguments and defense in any proceedings.
- Regulatory
risks: The regulator has the power to introduce changes in the regulatory framework that affect the business.
These risks are monitored; steps are taken aiming to
safeguard the Company’s interests; and the Company acts jointly with
industry bodies to strengthen positions, and propose contributions to the regulatory
framework – with full rationale and
grounds – aiming to mitigate regulatory impact.
The Brazilian Federal Constitution obliges Cemig D to collect taxes directly, on consumer invoices, and pay them on to the
competent authorities – these taxes include the PIS, Pasep and Cofins federal taxes, and the state ICMS tax. The state of
Minas Gerais has roughly 2.8 million residential clients who are exempt from ICMS tax because they consume less than 90
kWh/month. The consumer’s electricity bill also includes a charge for the Public Lighting Contribution (CIP), which is set by
municipal governments – Cemig D collects this fee and passes it on to municipalities. Payment of this contribution by
consumers assigns the responsibility for services of project design, implementation, expansion, operation and maintenance
of public lighting facilities to municipal governments.
In the 774 municipalities in Minas
Gerais where Cemig distributes power, more than 660,000 consumers are located in areas
classified as rural, and about one million are classified as low-income.
These clients pay a subsidized, lower tariff: consumers
of up to 30 kWh/month get a discount of approximately 65%; those consuming between 31 kWh and 100 kWh get
40%; and
those consuming between 101 kWh to 220 kWh get a discount of 10%.
The Annual Tariff Adjustment
This occurs annually in April, except in years
when there is a revision of rates. Its purpose is to pass on non-manageable
costs in their entirety and make monetary adjustment for manageable costs, as
established in the Tariff Review. The index for
adjustment of manageable costs is the IGP–M, but in addition, an X-Factor is deducted which is designed to
capture
productivity, following the method of a price-cap regulatory model.
On April 7, 2014, Aneel adjusted the rates Cemig can charge for electricity upward by an average of 16.33%, effective from
April 8, 2014 through April 7, 2015.
The increase was 14.24% for residential consumers; an
effective average of 12.41% for consumers in the industrial and
services category consuming medium- and high-voltage supply; and 15.78% for those consuming at low
voltage.
Cemig Distribution itself retains only 25.8% of the total amount it charges on the consumer’s electricity bill – using it for
investments, its expenses, and to cover depreciation. The remaining 74.2% goes into purchase of electricity (39.8%), sector
charges (4.9%), transmission charges (3.5%), ICMS tax passed on to the State government (21%), and the Pasep and Cofins
taxes (5%) passed on to the federal government.
The key cost increase in 2014 was the expense
of purchasing supply, due to the significant degree of use of thermoelectric
plants, which began in 2013. The increase in costs for energy purchase from 2013 to
2014 was R$ 679 million. This
component alone accounts for 7.80% of the tariff adjustment.
Cemig D’s next annual Tariff Adjustment is in April 2015, and the next multi-year Tariff Review is in April 2018.

Tariff Bands – and Flags
Aneel has
instituted a tariff ‘flag’ mechanism, taking effect in 2015, to send consumers a signal of when electricity generation
– and thus the tariff they
pay – will be more expensive in their region.
The green ‘flag’ indicates that conditions are good for generation: the tariff is unchanged.
Meanwhile yellow and red flags will
indicate ‘less favorable’ and ‘critical’ conditions for generation, resulting in surcharges to tariffs.
The Electricity Trading Chamber (CCEE) will run a central clearing account for the extra funds raised by the flag system.
Distributors will pay their Flag Tariff revenues into the central account, and receive back balances each month based on
realized cost of thermally-generated electricity and the effects of exposure to the spot market.
CUSTOMERS IN ARREARS
Aneel regulates the procedure for suspension and
reconnection of electricity, through Normative Resolution 414/10.
Supply is suspended for non-payment of the electricity bill, preceded by a warning, with proof of
delivery, and 15 days’
minimum advance notice. When reconnecting, the distributor must obey these deadlines:
Normal reconnection in an urban area: 24 hours
Normal reconnection in a rural area: 48 hours
Emergency reconnection in an urban area: 4 hours
Emergency reconnection in a
rural area: 8 hours
The period is counted from notification of payment, settlement of the debt in the distributor’s system or a request for
reconnection made between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on business days. Notification after 6 p.m., or on a non-business day, takes
effect at 8 a.m. on the next business day.
The table below shows the numbers of consumers
disconnected, for different periods between actual disconnection and
reconnection (i.e. not from request to reconnection) in 2014.
There were 429,366 disconnections in 2014 due to non-payment of electricity bills.
Cemig uses
a wide range of tools and media other than disconnection, in its attempts to reduce default: payment requests by
e-mail, text message and letter, negative credit
reports, re-disconnection when the consumer reconnects without permission,
disconnection with meter seal (biodegradable), administrative collection, e-mail
negotiation through dedicated staff, special
negotiation campaigns, negotiated payment at pre-litigation and pre-hearing stages, and collection through the courts.
RELATIONS WITH CORPORATE CLIENTS
Cemig’s corporate clients provide a
significant percentage of its total sales volume, and consequently, revenue: approximately
40%, in recent years.
With this strong basis established (it has approximately 22% of Brazilian market share), Cemig is making efforts to increase
this share by building a service structure.

Cemig has dedicated staff departments for overseeing risk in contracting energy purchases, and others for customer service
by individual the sector of the economy (mining, automotive, steel, agribusiness, etc.). Each client is monitored internally by a
Cemig liaison agent, responsible for the relationship.
Management’s efforts to analyze
business risk, and the oversight of each corporate client and its economic sector, represent
a recognition of these clients’ importance, since any decline in
this portfolio would result in a substantial decline in net profit.
Accordingly, the company has established an Electricity Trading Policy, containing guidelines
to be obeyed by Cemig’s
management and applied in its relations with its various clients, in both the Regulated and the Free Markets.
This policy calls for presentations to the Board of Directors in the final quarter of each year on the following subjects:
Forecasts for the various markets to be served, with forecasts for average prices and tariffs.
Forecast for energy purchased to serve demand.
Forecasts for Tariff
Adjustments and Reviews, in average numbers, over a horizon of two Review cycles.
Outlook for average prices in auctions and bilateral contracts.
Indicative forecasts for the Spot Price (‘Price for Settlement of Differences’, or PLD).
Risk mitigation strategies (for the action and/or products adopted), and criteria for determining under- or overcontracting
by Cemig Distribution S.A.
Another management tool is a monthly report focusing on contracts
signed for over R$ 16 million, and also contracts
canceled with value over that level. This is one way of overseeing client management and the status of gains and
losses. The
Board of Directors is directly involved in this effort, monitoring possible contract terminations, or the signing of new deals.
Finally, a customer satisfaction survey is conducted every two years for medium- and high-voltage clients (including
corporate clients). Criteria such as client relationship quality, price, supply quality, client satisfaction and service
communication channels are assessed. Based on the results of this survey, decision makers draw up a plan for
action/improvements, in which all activities are monitored.

Sales to final consumers
Residential
Residential consumption, which accounts for 14.9% of the energy sold by Cemig, totaled 10,014 GWh in 2014, or 5.7% more
than in 2013.
Consumption in this category is associated with:
a. the addition of 196,587 consumers, expanding this consumer category by 3.1%;
b. higher
temperatures in 2014 than 2013, causing a rise in ownership and use of air conditioners and fans in residences; and
c. an increase of 2.2% in average monthly
consumption per consumer – to 131.2 kWh/month, the highest level since 2001.
Industrial
Electricity billed to captive and free consumers in Minas Gerais and other states was 38.6% of the total volume sold by the
Cemig Group, at 26,026 GWh in 2014, an increase of 11.0% from 2013.
Within this category the
growth figures were:
a. 13,7% in the volume billed by Cemig GT to free clients in Minas Gerais and other States, as a result of:
addition of new clients to the Cemig GT portfolio, mainly outside the state of Minas Gerais, and
redirecting of available supply to the free market, with the termination of several regulated market contracts in

b. volume of electricity billed to free clients by the wholly owned subsidiaries 1.4% higher; and
c. an increase of 0.8% in the volume of electricity billed to captive clients of Cemig D.
Commercial and Services
The electricity used by captive and free clients in
Minas Gerais and other states was 9.5% of the total volume of electricity
traded by the Cemig Group in 2014, at 6,395 GWh, or 6.0% more than in 2013.
This reflects 5.9% growth in the volume billed to captive consumers of Cemig D, and growth of 7.5% in the volume billed by
Cemig GT to free clients located in Minas Gerais and other states.
Factors in the increase
are:
a. connection of 10,446 new captive clients, increasing Cemig D’s client base in this category by 1.5%;
b. addition of 9 new free clients, in Minas Gerais and other states, increasing Cemig GT’s number of clients in this category
by 13.2%;
c. weather conditions in 2014 – temperatures above historic monthly averages
– leading to installation of new air
conditioning equipment at small businesses and services, and greater use of climate control equipment in general in the
various sectors in this category; and
d. the dynamics of the services sector.
Rural
Electricity used by the rural construction category, at 3,390 GWh, was
11.9% more than in 2013, and was 5.0% of the total
traded by the Cemig Group in 2014.
The increase in consumption by these consumers is associated with weather, in particular:
a.
rainfall levels in early and late 2014 were below the expected historical average for the rainy season; and
b. higher temperatures throughout the year spurred
growth in consumption for irrigation by 16.5%, and in consumption for
other agricultural activities by 9.7%.
Other consumer categories
Supply to other categories – government, public services,
Cemig’s own consumption, and public lighting – totaled 3,405 GWh
in 2014, or 3.3% more than in 2013, and was 5.2% of the total volume of electricity
transacted by the Group.
Sales in the Free Market and the Regulated Market
In
the Free and Regulated Markets, Cemig sold a total of 14,146 GWh to other agents in the electricity sector in 2014 – this
was 12.3% less than in 2014.
Cemig’s sales in the Regulated Market were down 54.4% from 2013, due to ending of contracts made under the 2005
Regulated Market (ACR) auction (made for supply in 2006 through 2013).
Meanwhile sales on the
Free Market to other electricity sector agents were up 99.5% in 2014, at 8,799 GWh, as Cemig’s team
took advantage of commercial opportunities, resulting in
new contracts for spot market sales.
Sales in the CCEE
Sales in the
Electricity Trading Chamber (Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica, or CCEE) were 3,946 GWh, or 23.9%
more than in 2013, on a
higher volume of placement of available energy contracts by Cemig GT.

EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY
CONSERVATION
Cemig’s Smart Energy Program
Cemig’s Energy Efficiency
Program has been creating projects to orient the population on the correct use of electricity since
the 1980s, when the National Electricity Conservation Program
(Procel) was created. In 2008, Aneel Resolution 300 required
distribution concession and permission holders to invest in energy efficiency, and since then R$ 340
million has been
invested in putting new technologies in place, and strengthening of a culture of rational use of electricity through activities to
enhance awareness, and the use of more efficient equipment.
Cemig’s Energy Efficiency
program, called “Smart Energy” (Energia Inteligente – EI), is based on providing incentives to
change habits. It leads to a reduction and
elimination of waste through good practices while preserving natural resources. EI
projects are targeted to low-income clients, non-profit institutions, municipal
governments, the private sector and educational
institutions. Noteworthy EI initiatives include: donation of solar water heating systems to replace electric
showers;
replacement of obsolete autoclaves; exchange of incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescents; and the replacement of
irrigation systems by micro-aspersion systems in the Jaíba project.
Some highlight EI
initiatives in 2014 were:
- Replacement of showers with solar water heating systems in low-income housing developments: Two projects are currently
under way: Conviver Solar I and Conviver Solar II. Some 2,176 solar water heating systems have been installed in low-income
housing developments, and 10,880 light bulbs have been replaced, for a total investment of some R$ 12.9 million. Energy
savings totaled 555 MWh/year, with reduction of 440 kW in peak demand.
- Replacement of
showers in public hospitals and philanthropic institutions with solar heating systems: Installations were
completed at 14 public and philanthropic institutions,
creating savings of 829 MWh/year and reduction of 2,159 kW in peak

demand. Investment in 2014 was R$ 1.9 million.
-
Replacement of showers with solar heating at Elderly Care Homes: This project plans to install 20,800m2 of solar collectors
at 508 care homes in Minas Gerais. Of
these, 41 systems were completed in 2014, saving 700 MWh/year, with demand
reduced by 308 kW – for investment of R$ 832,644.61.
- Replacement of autoclaves at hospitals: This program replaces old and inefficient autoclaves with new and efficient models,
bringing hospitals up to Anvisa and Health Ministry standards for sterilization facilities. Thirty autoclaves were replaced, at 18
hospitals, in 2014, with expected energy savings of 804 kW, and reduction of 3,190 MWh/year in demand, for investment was
R$ 1.45 million.
- Hospital Lighting Project: This project involves replacement of obsolete
lighting systems at public hospitals by high
performance systems using mirror lamps, bulbs and electronic ballasts with the Procel seal of approval. This project
served
nine hospitals in 2014, with installation of some 6,638 lighting fixtures and efficient tubular fluorescent bulbs, reducing peak
demand by 201 kW and saving some 874 MWh – for investment of R$ 1.9 million.
- Rural
energy efficiency projects through the ‘Energy Farm’ (Fazenda Energética), in Uberaba, Minas Gerais: This is a project
to modernize irrigation
systems using drip and micro-aspersion methods to save energy, and water. Replacement of obsolete
irrigation methods with more efficient systems can achieve
savings currently assessed at approximately 57% in electricity
and 44.5% in water. Installation of 110 irrigation systems was completed in the Jaíba
Irrigation District in 2014, achieving
savings of 939 MWh/year, and reducing peak demand by 290 kW, for investment of some R$ 1.15 million.
- The ‘Living Together’ Project (Projeto Conviver): This project was begun in 2006, with activities throughout Cemig D’s entire
concession area. It orients low-income clients on measures to take for energy efficiency. A total of R$ 15,455,410.99 was
invested in 2014, providing help to more than 55,000 families – resulting in savings of 17,177 MWh/year, and reduction in
demand of 6,342 kW. In 2014, 4,282 old refrigerators were replaced by new refrigerators carrying the Procel seal of approval;
and 232,445 incandescent bulbs were exchanged for compact fluorescents. The old refrigerators and bulbs collected by
Cemig were recycled. This project fosters significant gains through reductions in payment arrears, and energy losses, in the
communities served. A total of 1,698 illegal connections to electricity supply were regularized, and 1,186 debt settlements
achieved, for a total of R$ 572,460.41. In addition, 201 training sessions on energy efficiency and the proper and safe use of
energy were held, benefiting about 9,500 people.
In addition to helping reduce energy losses
by replacing obsolete equipment, the energy efficiency program offers another
benefit to communities: establishment of fuller access to normal usage of
citizenship, in that installation of an electricity
meter gives the user an electricity bill, and thus a ‘proof of address’, so useful in banking and
bureaucratic transactions.

In 2014, with investment of over R$ 50 million, Cemig complied with the regulatory requirement for allocation of investment
totaling 0.5% of Net operational revenues, plus certain amounts not recognized – with investment of R$ 27 million for lowincome
consumers, more than the obligatory R$ 22.1 million.

Efficientia
Since 2002, Cemig’s wholly-owned
subsidiary Efficientia has been mainly implementing energy efficiency projects, usually
through performance-based contracts.
Some of the projects on which Efficientia began execution in 2013 are now in the final phase of implementation, scheduled
for startup in 2015. Other projects, negotiated with clients in 2014, are at start of works stage, for completion in 2015 or 2016.
The figures given below for these contracts are based on expected energy savings calculated from the preliminary
diagnostics.
Actual energy savings are assessed in accordance with the International
Performance Measurement and Verification
Protocol (IPMVP®) for energy savings. In 2014, Efficientia signed contracts with clients in the industrial and
services sectors
for projects to modernize lighting systems and generation of photovoltaic energy, as shown below:
Natura: Modernization of the industrial illumination system, using LED technology (expected savings 309 MWh/year).
Investment: R$ 434,354.00.

electricity system, and are thus also demand-side management projects.
Additionally, the photovoltaic generation projects are investments in distributed generation. The investment planned for these
projects in 2015 is R$ 1,655,837.14.
In recent years Efficientia has completed several
projects for clients in the sugar-alcohol industry that were installing or
expanding plants in Minas Gerais. In 2014 works were completed on the connection of the
Santa Vitória Thermoelectric Plant
to the grid, under the supervision of Efficientia. This is a co-generation sugarcane bagasse plant able to generate up to
20
MW.
To strengthen opportunities for new business, Efficientia launched a
new website in 2014. A lighter layout and changes in the
information architecture, reflecting internal changes in the company, help to further de-mystify the
subject of energy
efficiency – while enabling entirely new business models to be presented. You are invited to click here for more details.
MANAGEMENT OF LOSSES
Controlling electricity losses is one of Cemig’s strategic goals,
since they represent revenue foregone and, indirectly, impact
the environment: increases in emissions of greenhouse gases, for instance. We account Total
Distribution Losses (IPTD) as
the sum of technical losses (PPTD) and non-technical losses (PPNT). Technical losses in the distribution system are inherent
to the transport of energy through transmission and distribution lines and equipment. They are influenced by, among other
factors, dispatch conditions at generating stations, works in progress on strengthening the network, behavior of the
consumer market, and adoption of specific loss-reduction measures. Non-technical losses involve deficiencies or
irregularities in measurement and/or billing of consumer units, and also illegal connections to the distributor’s network.
Total distribution losses in 2014 were assessed as 11%. This compares to a maximum regulatory target of 10.85% by the end
of 2017. In setting regulatory targets for the 3rd Tariff Review Cycle, Aneel made significant changes in its method for
calculating technical losses, creating challenges for Cemig. The 2014 target was not met, but by only a small margin.
Improvement of these results depends on both manageable and non-manageable factors, and Cemig will continue to make
efforts to improve the manageable factors, to meet the target. Approaches to the manageable factors include: study for
proposals to reconfigure the high-voltage line system, focusing on reducing technical losses; participation in an overall,
integrated planning of the electrical system; analysis of the reduction in technical losses provided by structural works;
executing the medium voltage reactive compensation plan, installing 225 automatic capacitor banks; checking the regularity
of consumers’ metering equipment through onsite inspections; and replacement of obsolete or non-standard meters. Nonmanageable
factors include: north-south flows; reservoir levels; load seasonality; and clandestine connections to the grid in
non-regularized areas.

Technical losses in 2014 were assessed at 8.81%, and non-technical losses at 2.19%.
Aneel
measures non-technical losses with reference to the low-voltage market. Taking this into account, non-technical losses
for the low-voltage market invoiced by Cemig
in 2014 were 5.81%.
Two highlights of action taken in 2014 to minimize technical losses:
Investment in construction projects to strengthen the medium and low voltage electricity system, for a total of R$ 44.7
million; and investment of R$ 226.3 million to expand and strengthen the sub-transmission system (69 to 230 kV).
The medium-voltage reactive compensation project: Preparation of a reactive compensation plan, for installation of
225 banks of automatic capacitors by 2016, (projected investment of R$ 9.0 million), with planned reduction of R$ 4.2
million in associated technical losses (corresponding to 23.6 GWh) per year.
Other action in
the year has included: Prospecting of new network and conductor technologies; studies for circuit
reconfiguration to increase the operating efficiency of the
electricity system; and establishment of criteria for limiting levels of
technical losses in medium and low voltage circuits.
The actions avoided generation of 3,197.4 tons of CO2.
To reduce non-technical losses, R$
10.23 million was invested in 2014 (through November) in inspection programs of 55,917
consumer units with suspected irregularities. Taking into account the
potential for collection of payment for past supply and
added future revenue resulting from regularization, Cemig estimates the gain from this campaign at R$ 65.2
million
(corresponding to 153 GWh).
These actions avoided emissions totaling
20,729 tCO2.
Other important aspects of the efforts in 2014 to reduce non-technical losses:
The system of selection of target consumers was improved, including: development and use of statistical models to
assist selectors; digital registry of process documents (e.g. Incident Reports, Inspection Reports, photos); and storage
through appropriate document management (‘Gedoc’) software:
these methods achieved a
27% success rate for inspections seeking inappropriate installations; the result was an
energy gain of 1.39 MWh per inspection – this figure being 9.44%
higher than in 2013.
Systems for calculating irregularities, and inspection report management, were improved and automated – resulting in
59
171
Table of Contents
a 28% increase in productivity.
Bills were sent
for a total of 28,274 items of irregular consumption, with 98.70% compliance.
R$ 3.19 million was invested to replace 35,200 obsolete or non-standard meters,
representing an increase in revenue
of R$ 1.61 million (corresponding to 4.06 GWh);
A total of 1,468 illegal connections were legalized, representing a reduction of R$ 1.41 million (corresponding to 3.6
GWh) in losses.
Cemig’s Task Force to Prevent and Combat Commercial Losses worked with
Civil and Military police departments, the
Public Prosecutor’s Office, government and the press, focusing on characterization of fraud, legalization of
clandestine
connections, and a communication program to raise the awareness of society about the damage caused by illegal
connections.
NET PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD
Cemig reports net profit of R$ 3.137 billion for 2014, compared to net profit of R$ 3.104 billion in 2013 – or an increase of
1.06%.

Revenue from supply of electricity
Revenue from
total sales of electricity in 2014 was R$ 17.232 billion – or 16.90% more than in 2013, when this revenue was
R$ 14.741 billion.
Learn more about supply to Cemig’s various client segments in the chapter on Clients and Consumers.
Final consumers
Total revenue from electricity sold to final consumers, excluding Cemig’s
own consumption, was R$ 14.922 billion in 2014 –
or 18.46% more than in 2013 (R$ 12.597 billion).
The higher revenue in 2014 was the result of several factors:
The annual tariff adjustment for
Cemig D effective from April 8, 2013 (full effect in 2014), with average effect on
consumer tariffs of 2.99%.
The annual tariff adjustment for Cemig D effective from April 8, 2014, with average effect on tariffs for captive
consumers of 14.76%.
The quantity of electricity supplied to final consumers in 2014 –
which was 8.66% higher in 2014.
Revenue from supply to other concession holders
Revenue from electricity sold to other concession holders in 2014 was R$ 2.310 billion, 7.74% more than in 2013 (R$ 2.144
billion).
Although the volume of electricity sold to other concession holders was 12.28% lower
in the year, at 14,146,109 MWh, than in
2013 (16,127,376 MWh), the increase in revenue resulted from the average sale price being 20.68% higher, at R$ 159.16 per
MWh in 2014, compared to R$ 132.94/MWh in 2013.

The increase in average price was mainly due to the reduction of supply of electricity in 2014, which in turn was the result of
the lower level of reservoirs.
Revenue from Use of Distribution Systems (the
TUSD charge)
This is revenue from charging of the Tariff for Use of the Distribution System (Tarifa de Uso do Sistema de Distribuição, or
TUSD), to Free Consumers, for transport of electricity sold. In 2014 this revenue was R$ 855 million, 15.18% less than in 2013
(R$ 1.008 billion). The difference is mainly in Cemig Distribution, with: (a) lower industrial activity in the sector – reflected in
10.3% lower volume of energy transported; and (b) the tariff impact for Free Consumers as from April 8, 2013, with reduction
of the TUSD by 33.22%, which began to be offset by the increase of 8.79% as from April 8, 2014.
The CVA Account and Other financial components in tariff increases
Due to the
alteration in the concession contracts of the electricity distributors, the Company began to recognize the balances
of non-manageable costs to be passed through to
the next tariff adjustment of Cemig D, representing a revenue of R$ 1.107
billion in 2014. This is explained in detail in Explanatory Note 13 to the financial
statements.
Revenue from transactions in the Electricity Trading Chamber (CCEE)
Revenue from transactions in electricity on the CCEE was R$ 2.348 billion in 2014, compared to R$ 1.193 billion in 2013 – an
increase of 96.81%. This basically reflects the increase of 161.88% in the average price in the wholesale market, resulting
from the low level of reservoirs of the hydroelectric plants in 2014 (R$ 688.89/MWh in 2014, compared to R$ 263.06/MWh in
2013).
Other operational revenues
Cemig’s other operational revenues are as follows:
The higher figure in 2014 was mainly
due to inclusion of the revenue from supply of gas, R$ 422 million, because of the
change in the accounting system due to consolidation of Gasmig, as from October
2014.
Taxes and charges applied to Revenue
Taxes and charges applied to
revenue in 2014 were R$ 5.626 billion, or 18.12% higher than in 2013 (R$ 4.762 billion). This
mainly reflects the increases in Revenue, to which they are applied.

Operational costs and expenses, excluding Financial Revenue (expenses) in 2014 were R$ 14.451 billion, 28.6% more than in
2013 (R$ 11.232 billion). There is a breakdown of Operational costs and expenses in Explanatory note 25 to the financial
statements.
The following paragraphs comment on the main variations:
Electricity purchased for resale
The expense on electricity purchased for resale in 2014 was
R$ 7.428 billion, which compares to R$ 5.207 billion in 2013 – an
increase of 42.65%. The main factors are:
The expense on purchase of electricity in the free market in 2014 was R$ 477 million higher, due to higher trading
activity, and also due to the higher price of electricity in 2014 due to low reservoir levels at the hydroelectric plants.
Cemig D (Distribution) had involuntary exposure to the spot market in 2014, as well as being exposed to the higher
price of electricity, due to the low levels of the hydroelectric plants’ reservoirs. This resulted in the company having an
expense in this market of R$ 1.263 billion in 2014, compared to R$ 304 million in 2013.
The
expense on electricity from Itaipu Binacional was 18.31% lower in 2014, at R$ 830 million in 2014, than in 2013
(R$ 1.016 billion), reflecting a volume of
electricity purchased 28.74% lower, at 6,254,980 MWh in 2014, compared to
8,777,227 MWh in 2013. This electricity is priced in dollars, and the effect of this
reduction in quantity was partially
offset by the appreciation of the dollar against the Real in 2014. The average exchange rate for the dollar in invoices in
2014 was R$ 2.35, compared to R$ 2.16 in 2013 – an increase of 8.80%.
Charges for use of the transmission network
Charges for use of the
transmission network totaled R$ 744 million in 2014, compared to R$ 575 million in 2013, an increase
of 29.39%.
This expense is payable by electricity distribution and generation agents for use of the facilities that are components of the
national grid. The amounts to be paid are set by an Aneel Resolution.
This is a non-manageable
cost: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for calculation of tariffs and the
costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff
adjustment.
Operational provisions
Operational provisions in 2014 totaled R$
581 million, compared to R$ 305 million in 2013, an increase of 90.49%. This arises
mainly from the following items:
A provision of R$ 195 million made in 2014, comprising: R$ 166 million on the valuation of the put option for shares in
Parati, and R$ 29 million from the same effect in the put options, between Cemig GT and private pension plan entities,
for shares in SAAG (investment in Madeira Energia). For more details please see Explanatory Note 14.
Provisions for employment-law legal actions R$ 71 million higher in 2014 (at R$ 242 million, compared to R$ 171
million in 2013). This mainly reflects a provision of R$ 127 million in 2014 resulting from the salary increase of 3% in
real terms for the employees – which was the outcome of labor court arbitration, sought by representatives of the
employees, on an annual collective employment agreement. More details are in Explanatory note 22.
Personnel
The expense on personnel was R$ 1.252 billion in 2014, 2.49% less than in 2013 (R$
1.284 billion). This mainly reflects an
extraordinary expense of R$ 78 million in 2013 on the PID Voluntary Retirement Program.

Table of Contents
Raw materials and inputs for production of electricity
Expenses on raw materials and inputs for production of electricity in 2014 totaled R$ 282 million, compared with R$ 56
million in 2013 – an increase of 403.57%. This mainly reflects the need for acquisition of a higher quantity of fuel oil in 2014,
for the Igarapé thermoelectric plant, which was dispatched more in this year due to the low level of water in the hydroelectric
reservoirs.
Construction cost
Infrastructure Construction costs in 2014 were R$ 942 million, 3.38% less than in 2013 (R$ 975 million). This line records the
Company’s investment in assets of the concession in the period, and is fully offset by the line Construction revenue, in the
same amount.
EBITDA (EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAX, DEPRECIATION AND
AMORTIZATION)
Cemig’s Ebitda was 23.06% higher in 2014 than 2013.
Ebitda margin in 2014 was 32.66%, which compares to 35.45% in 2013 – lower, among other factors, due to lower total equity
gain in subsidiaries.

an effective rate of 23.43%. There is a reconciliation of
these effective rates with the nominal tax rates in Explanatory Note 10
to the financial statements.
NET FINANCIAL REVENUE (EXPENSES)
Cemig reports financial expenses in 2014 of R$ 1.101 billion,
which compares with a net financial expense of R$ 308 million
in 2013.
In
2013 Cemig received final judgment in its favor, against which there is no further appeal, in its action challenging the
legality of Paragraph 1º of Article 3
of Law 9718, of November 27, 1998, which had sought to expand the taxable calculation
base for the Pasep and Cofins contributions on Financial revenue and Other
non-operational revenues, in relation to the
period 1999 through January 2004. In a consequent decision authorization was given to transfer the credit to its
subsidiaries,
as to 51.93% for Cemig D, and 48.07% for Cemig GT, and for these credits to be used to offset other federal taxes. Of the total
gain of R$ 313,100, R$ 127,429 was recognized as reversal of Pasep and Cofins, and R$ 185,671 as revenue from monetary
updating.
The breakdown of Financial Revenues and Expenses is in Explanatory Note 26 to the
consolidated financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cemig’s business is capital intensive. Historically, the company has a need for capital to finance the construction of new
generation facilities and expansion and modernization of the existing generation, transmission and distribution facilities.
Company’s liquidity requirements are also affected by its dividend policy. Cemig finances its liquidity and capital needs
principally with cash generated by operations and, on a lesser scale, with funds from financing.
Cemig believes that present cash reserves, generated by operations, will, together with expected funds from financings, be

The totals of Net cash generated by operational activities in 2014
and 2013 were, respectively, R$ 3.734 million and R$ 3.515

for items not affecting cash flow.

The Company used net cash of R$ 4.299 billion in investment activities in 2014, compared to net cash inflow of R$ 2.503
billion from investment activities in 2013. This mainly represents the acquisitions of equity interests in 2014, in which the

The composition of Cemig D’s debt is a reflection of the sources of funding available
to its subsidiaries – bank credit, used for
rolling over of debt; and issues of debentures and promissory notes, in which a significant portion has been
indexed to the
local interest rate – and also its intention to avoid exposure to debt in foreign currency (currently 0.29%). The average cost of
Cemig’s debt is 7.05% p.a. in real terms.
The Company’s debt management centers on:
lengthening of tenors; limitation of indebtedness to the levels specified by the
by-laws (Net debt/Ebitda = 2 and Net debt/(Stockholders’ equity + Net debt) =
40%); reduction of the cost of financing; and
preservation of the Company’s payment capacity, while avoiding pressures on cash flows such as might suggest
refinancing
risk.

The Company’s debt at December 31, 2014 was R$ 13,509 million, with average tenor of 4.1 years. The concentration of
maturities in 2015 results from short-term transactions made in 2014, and the Company expects it to be refinanced on
satisfactory terms.

Cemig’s Dividend Policy
Cemig, through its bylaws, assumes the undertaking to distribute a minimum dividend of 50% of the net profit for each year.
Additionally, extraordinary dividends can be distributed each two years, or more frequently, if cash availability permits.
The dividends are usually paid in two equal installments: by June 30 and December 30 of the year following the business year
on the results of which they are based.
Dividends and Interest on Equity declared in corporate
action by the Company during the year of 2014 reached R$ 4,394
million, as follows:
R$ 2,859 million relating to the profit reserve existing at the end of the 2013 business year:
R$ 1,704 million in extraordinary dividends (declared June 27, 2014);
R$
1,100 million in extraordinary dividends (declared November 7, 2014); and;
R$ 545 million in additional dividends (declared on April 30, 2014);
R$ 230 million in Interest on Equity (declared on December 26, 2014), for the 2014 business year, to be accounted

CEMIG’S INTERNAL PUBLIC
Cemig’s management of its internal public aims to enhance employee well-being in a manner aligned with continuous
improvement in organizational performance. Thus it is focused on development, analysis and improvement of the employees,
the entrepreneurial structure, and the working conditions – with a permanent emphasis on employee health and safety.
These principles, are indeed fundamental assets. In particular, our Human Resources Policy – especially in relation to work
safety, occupational health and wellbeing, the Code of Conduct and Ethical Principles, and other manuals and internal
guidelines – ensures standardized actions and decision-making encompassing all Cemig employees.

Table of Contents
Development and decisions on the Company’s Human Resources
Policy and its related management processes regard the
employees’ well-being as a central factor, as well as the question of financial return for the Company.
The Internal Instruction
Manual is one of management’s tools, offering standardized guidance on subjects such as recruitment and selection, career
and compensation management, attendance, and workplace accidents, with instructions available to all employees.
Another tool used to manage these concerns is the Organizational Climate Survey, which is also particularly useful as a
source of data. In 2014 the survey used a new method – validated by the consulting organization Great Place to Work –
based on the concept that an excellent workplace environment is one that emerges from the relationships that the employees
experience in their day-to-day work. The model for the analysis was based on central principles such as trust, credible
leadership, and employees feeling they are treated impartially and with respect, coupled with the pride they feel toward their
work, and peer-to-peer relationships. The Company’s score was 63.7, with positive highlights in: safety; recognition of the
importance of one’s work for the company; and good personal treatment regardless of color, race or gender. Key points for
improvement indicated by the survey were: transparency; and relationship with and recognition from people in leadership
positions. Improving the organizational climate leads to increased workforce productivity and, consequently, better results for
the Company.
Noteworthy among the 13 actions based on results of the 2014 Climate Survey were:
progress in revision of the Jobs and
Remuneration Plan; continuation of reformulation of the succession management process; continued improvement of the
performance management process, concentrated on employee development; implementation of the new tool for Internal
Mobility; and structuring of knowledge management initiatives. The labor union and other employees monitor all action
related to the Jobs and Remuneration Plan through presentations and updates.
In 2014 Cemig and
union groups signed a ‘Health and Safety Compact’, to plan and implement creation of an interactive
process based on trust, respect and active staff
participation in matters relating to employee health and safety, as reflected in
the ‘Live Wire – Powered Up’ (Linha Viva – Energizada)
program.
Continuing programs from 2014, a variety of goals and targets have been mapped out for 2015. These include completion
and implementation of processes that will have a strong impact on personnel management, deriving from action plans drawn
up on the basis of indicators, surveys and interviews by HR staff members (e.g. health professionals, social workers and
technical instructors).
STAFF PROFILE
In addition to administering its own staff, the Company also manages employment contracts and relations with workers hired
as temporary labor, apprentices that are minors, and trainees. Temporary work contracts are those that provide for specific,
temporary conditions of a limited duration, for which there is no possibility of filling the opening in any other way; the trainee
program seeks to offer professional development opportunities for students enrolled in universities and technical study
programs, by joining theory and practice; and the Cemig-Cesam Apprenticeship Program offers teenagers from poor
backgrounds a chance to develop new skills through professional apprenticeships under the supervision of Cemig employeetutors.
This table shows a profile of the Company’s workforce.

Outsourced workers are managed on the basis of the specific contracts that they make with the individual departments that
contract them. This also applies to health and safety issues, which are present at the various stages of contracting. More
details are available in the item Suppliers.
With the new conditions of regulation in the
sector, Cemig continues to seek greater efficiency and ever-closer alignment with
sector standards and benchmarks. The policy to assist retirement for employees
already qualifying continued in 2014. Based
on studies and planning in line with corporate strategy, the Company hired new employees to fill vacancies resulting
from
retirements under the Early Retirement Plan of 2013, restoring the balance of numbers and technical resources.
In 2014, the overall staff turnover percentage was 2.71%. A total of 207 new employees were hired under public exams –
37.68% were women, 62.32% men – and 217 people left the Company, 15.67% women and 84.33%, men. The considerable
(11.32%) variation from the previous year is because there was an early retirement plan in 2013 (though none in 2014). The
higher percentage of terminations in 2014 reflects the much larger (61.3% higher) volume of applications for retirement.
This movement had a direct effect on staff training and development – for which the aim, as shown in the corporate strategic
map, is sustainable development of strategic skills. In addition to providing training for the new employees, these efforts
sought to retain the critical knowledge of those who left the Company in 2014.
DIVERSITY AND
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY
One of Cemig’s principal values is a commitment to Ethics. This is a value of such importance to Cemig that in its Declaration
of Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct, under Principle No. 4 (‘Professional Integrity’), the Company
undertakes to foster diversity and non-discrimination on grounds of race, gender, appearance, age, religion, political ideology
or time of employment with the Company.
Cemig is a signatory of the United Nations’
Global Compact, which encourages practices to eliminate any kind of employment
discrimination. It has issued a Corporate Social Responsibility booklet
disseminating practices specified in the Compact and
in Social Accountability standard 8000 – SA 8000, which encourages creation of good and dignified
working conditions.
Concerned to meet employees’ needs, Cemig offers guidance and support through its Employees with Disabilities Program.
This benefit reimburses 50% of certain expenses of employees who are physically handicapped, or of physically and/or
mentally handicapped dependents. These expenses may be for tuition at special schools, a variety of therapy options (art

188
Table of Contents
therapy, music therapy, play therapy, hydrotherapy, equine therapy,
swimming, physiotherapy, speech/hearing therapy),
prostheses, disposable diapers, or other needs, subject to prior analysis by the Company’s Medical
Department.
Situations thought to involve discrimination can be reported through the Company’s anonymous complaint hotline. In 2014,
the Ethics Commission received no complaints concerning discrimination.
A traditionally male
working environment, Cemig has sought to hire and encourage women to join its staff in both technical
and management positions. It offers equal opportunity and
differentiated benefits, such as pre-natal, post-partum and
newborn care in the first three months of life, and daycare assistance.
The Company employs 1,087 women engaged in jobs ranging from technical and operational duties to executive
management positions. Of this total, 26.13% are black or of mixed race. The women in the Company have a higher level of
schooling than the men: 57.77% of all women at the Company have university training, and only 30.66% of the men. In senior
management, women are 3.57% of the Board of Directors, and 9.09% of the Executive Board.
At
Cemig, men and women have equal prospects for promotion, and the fact that women assume a higher degree of family
responsibility than men, which sometimes has an
impact on individual availability, does not constitute a disadvantage. There
have even been cases of appointing a woman to a managerial position while she was on
maternity leave, and on the first day
back from maternity leave – demonstrating that the Company truly respects the particularities of a woman’s
situation. At the
end of the day, what really matters is an individual’s professional profile and job qualifications.

The average compensation for women is lower than the average for men in two
categories – University Level, and
Technical/administrative/operational Level. This reflects the higher number of men who work in situations exposed to risk,
entitling them to hazardous-duty pay differentials.
COMPENSATION, BENEFITS
AND PREPARATION FOR RETIREMENT
Intending at all times to maximize its attractiveness as an employer, Cemig’s compensation strategy aims for a positioning
that is compatible with the market, offering competitive benefits and programs fostering employee welfare. Its Jobs and
Compensation Plan describes job positions based on their nature and complexity, as well as the knowledge an applicant
needs to do the work. Compensation levels are determined by a specific method taking into account assessment of
responsibilities. The Jobs and Compensation Plan is currently under review, with completion expected in mid-2015 (an
extension of the original deadline from end-2014). It will aim to adjust the plan to new developments in the business, in
alignment with the other HR processes – aiming always to attract, develop and retain the best professional talent. The Jobs
and Compensation Plan also sets criteria for horizontal and vertical advancement, which take into account employee
performance, among other factors.
Ratios between the lowest base salary paid by Cemig and the
current minimum wage, for operational employees, such as
Overhead Line Electricians, are shown below – based on the pay scales in effect on December 31,
2014.
Since 1997 Cemig has paid profit shares to its employees. The Profit Sharing Plan (Participação nos Lucros e Resultados, or
PLR) is based on meeting corporate targets that ensure alignment with strategic goals. In addition to this trigger, only
employees who score a minimum weighted average percentage in meeting their specific corporate targets are eligible for
variable compensation. Payment of PLR is calculated in multiples of salary, which vary with the levels of responsibility within
the organizational structure.
In addition to its compensation programs, Cemig offers a series
of benefits managed by itself, by its pension plan, Forluz, and
by its health plan (Cemig Saúde). These include:

improvement programs, administered by Cemig Saúde, such as the anti-smoking program ‘Fresh Air’ (Novos Ares) and
the obesity program ‘Weight in the Balance’ (Peso em Equilíbrio).
Cemig also
offers a voluntary Retirement Preparation Seminar. Employees may also sign up an adult who is a family member
or close friend. This is an opportunity to discuss
the moment of retirement and its repercussions at the personal and family
level; receive a medical and psychological assessment for this phase of life; and attend
presentations on activities such as
entrepreneurship and volunteer work. Nine of these events were held in 2014, with 246 participants. Forluz offers a
Retirement and Finance Education Program (‘Para Viver Melhor’) which addresses questions such as budget management,
investments, getting out of debt and how to live better within one’s financial possibilities. The table below shows the
percentages of employees meeting the conditions for retirement, now and by 2024.
ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING
Cemig invests continuously in building and managing
corporate knowledge. Cemig’s corporate university, UniverCemig, has
been reformulating corporate training processes. Since its foundation in 2008 it has
forged alliances and streamlined
company training systems and activities. The changes gradually implemented include a survey of demands, simplification of
corporate instructions and administration of the knowledge that is critical to sustainability of the business.
Training actions are designed to respond to corporate initiatives, performance evaluation, the annual needs survey and
research into problem situations affecting business areas. These complementary alternatives make it possible to act on key
points of attention in developing individual and corporate skills and knowledge. In this context, in addition to formal training,
UniverCemig has taken part in a variety of Corporate Education and Knowledge Management initiatives. In 2014, as well as
training technical staff, it has taken strong initiatives with partnerships in areas of strategic support, which have resulted in
training sessions on information security, the anticorruption law and prudent investment.
Another initiative has been the development of a methodology for identifying and retaining critical knowledge. This involves
mapping of critical knowledge and skills – to mitigate the risk of loss of productivity resulting from employees leaving the
company or changing jobs.
UniverCemig has been steadily moving closer to Cemig employees
through improvement and adaptation of the SAP Learning
platform. This is one more step toward streamlining and optimizing of systems, and will enable staff to
directly access and
manage their own training via the intranet, while giving UniverCemig more effective control and oversight of training
activities.

In addition, in light of the importance of developing its value
chain, the Company offers discounts through UniverCemig on
courses for its suppliers so they can develop and train their employees. Widening the attention focused
on this constituency,
and seeking to upgrade the teams that have been hired, UniverCemig and the engineering and job safety departments have
drawn up a matrix of training sessions for companies contracted by Cemig. Some 2,204 employees from other companies
took part in 2014, totaling 62,255 training hours and providing billing of R$ 669,000 for Cemig. The effect of these activities is
to improve Cemig’s customer service, guide training of suppliers’ future electricians, enable improvements in the quality of the
Company’s distribution services, and help improve health and safety conditions for the workforce. UniverCemig training is an
option for suppliers and can be made available to companies that are not associated with the group.
The impact of this commitment to corporate development can be seen in the quantitative results obtained. In 2014,
UniverCemig offered 24,700 participations and 384,917 man-hours of training for Cemig’s own employees. The total invested
in training and development activities (including training for employees outside UniverCemig) was R$ 37.5 million, which
breaks down to R$ 4,742.25 per Cemig employee. In addition to the number of training hours, it is important to assess
program effectiveness. To this end, Cemig has developed a Training Efficiency Index – which achieved a score of 96.1% in
2014, higher than the 95% target set for the year.

The training target established for 2014 was 47 hours per employee, and it was exceeded.
The
distance training program offered by UniverCemig is another option for transmitting information and knowledge on
matters of wide interest quickly to a large
audience. In 2014, Cemig invested R$ 59,977.00 in distance training, for a total of
13,448 employee participations, saving some R$ 2.2 million in expenses that
would have been incurred for in-person training.
Another development program with results beneficial to both employees and the company is the training in
Defensive,
Effective and Responsible Driving. Cemig has teams on streets and highways 24 hours a day, contributing to essential driver
awareness and skills to prevent traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities. In 2014, 1,117 employees took the course Defensive
Driving for Cars and Light trucks; 346 employees enrolled in Defensive Driving for Heavy Vehicles; and 305 employees took
the course in Driving a 4x4 under Adverse Conditions. The increase in employee awareness of traffic safety can be seen in the
decline in the number of events per driver involving excessive speed in dry weather (75.3%) and in rainy weather (87.3%) –
which helped reduce accidents involving company vehicles by nearly 23% in 2014 from 2013.
Outsourced sub-contractors providing security for Cemig’s industrial and other property were given training and updating
courses in 2014 including aspects of human rights. One of the aims of this program is to expand political and practical
understanding of affirmation of Human Rights, perceiving the complexity and diversity of human beings and their rights. This
also includes respect for diversity of sexual orientation and the rights of women (combating gender violence), children,
teenagers, the elderly and individuals with special needs – in other words combating all discriminatory practices in the
workplace. In 2014, 100% of the company’s 198 security guards were trained in matters involving occupational health and
safety and human rights, accounting for 64.71% of Cemig’s full security staff.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
The aim of Cemig’s performance management is to
link personnel management to organizational strategy by establishing
targets and agreements for individual development. At Cemig, this process is accomplished
through application of
multidimensional performance evaluations and goals. For goal assessment, every year each employee is evaluated on the
basis of previously agreed targets, both corporate as well as specific; the results are reflected in variable compensation to be
awarded individually. All employees also are the subject of annual multidimensional evaluations. For technical
administrative/operational and university level staff, the multidimensional assessment makes use of the 180° method. Those
in management are subject to a 360° appraisal – involving self-evaluation and assessment by peers, direct superiors, clients
LA11 HR2 HR7
193
Table of Contents
and subordinates.
Due to changes in performance evaluation methods, this process did not take place in the 2013/2014 cycle. Budget
allocations for individual salary adjustments were based on the result of the performance evaluation for the three previous
cycles. On this basis, in 2014, of 1,634 employees eligible for individual salary increments, 729 were awarded an adjustment –
or 44.61% of those eligible, and 9.20% of all Cemig employees. Performance management is being improved, with all
enhancements scheduled to be implemented before the end of 2015.
LABOR AND UNION RELATIONS
Through its public adherence to the Global Compact, and also internally through its Human Resources Policy, Cemig
recognizes unions as legitimate representatives of employees, and respects employees’ union affiliation choices. The
Company has set up a specific department to deal with labor union relations, and maintains constant contact with these
entities, seeking always to use all means that are acceptable from a business point of view to achieve negotiated solutions in
an ethical and respectful fashion.
The negotiations for the current Collective Bargaining
Agreement (ACT - Acordo Coletivo de Trabalho), valid for the
2014/2015 period, between the Company and the unions are underway, with the parties engaged in
evaluating the economic
clauses, which may be revised annually, in accordance with a decision by the Regional Employment-law Appeal Court (TRT).
As per this ACT, the Company brought forward a 6.34% salary adjustment, and adjusted the economic clauses by the same
percentage, while also granting additional meal vouchers. The 2014/2015 ACT to be signed, as well as the TRT’s Regulatory
Judgment, covers 100% of employees.
The Regulatory Judgment maintained the same points in the
ACTs as in previous years: payment of day-shift and night-shift
overtime; bonuses; a ceiling for financial aid for technical courses or university study; advance
payment of the first
installment of the end-of-year Bonus; assistance benefits; paid time for union leaders to transact union business, with
provisional job stability; funding allocations for salary adjustments in accordance with the Jobs and Compensation Plan;
regulations for the Internal Accident Prevention Committees, to include union participation; medical health inventory;
oversight of contractors with regard to job safety; and notification of serious or fatal accidents.
Cemig considers the right to strike legitimate. However, since Cemig provides essential public services, Law 7783 of 1999
requires union entities or workers to give 72 hours’ formal prior notice. During the negotiations held in 2014, when discussing
renewal of the economic clauses in the regulatory judgment, there was a one-day work stoppage, in which approximately 10%
of the employees participated.
If a strike does occur, the Company has an Operational
Emergency Committee, responsible for a Contingency Plan to
maintain the Company’s essential services.
In union relations, Cemig:
allows total freedom of participation in unions by employees, even
offering the service of discounting a union
contribution from payroll and paying it to the union;
has 161 current employees serving as officers of unions representing staff;
has 131 employees
who have been granted provisional job stability due to their union activities; and
has rules for conduct of sector meetings between union representatives and
employees at Company facilities, and
rules ensuring access for union leaders to Company facilities, in compliance with ILO Convention 135.
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
In keeping with the first principle of its
Declaration of Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct, Cemig’s policy for
Occupational Safety, Health and Well-being policy (OSHW) translates one
of the goals from the Company’s corporate
D M A
EU16 LA4 LA8 G4-11 GC3
194
Table of Contents
strategic map: to make Safety a key corporate value. This policy
establishes the issue as being of major significance to the
Company’s business and for appropriate protection of its entire workforce, including own,
sub-contracted and outsourced
employees. Performance in OSHW directly affects the organizational climate, and can also have an impact on the Company’s
brand and reputation, as well as creating legal and labor contingencies.
Identification, assessment and control of risks to safety, health and well-being are important principles of Company policy.
Other key precepts are: a proactive approach to actions for prevention; compliance with legislation and internal standards;
workers’ right to refuse exposure to unsafe situations; and responsibility of the employee, regardless of rank, for failing to live
up to the commitment to promote Safety, Health and Well-being.
As a ramification of this
policy, Cemig:
– posts the OSHW Technical Manual, containing a series of mandatory internal instructions, on its Intranet;
– conducts periodic audits and establishes criteria and procedures for holding people liable and imposing penalties for failure
to uphold policy, standards, instructions, procedures or orientations; and
– posts other
information and campaigns on its website to encourage practices that can steadily reduce the number of
accidents and cases of illness, not only in Cemig but in the
industry as a whole, and also for clients.
As a result of this management strategy, at the end of 2013 the Health and Safety Compact was signed, which resulted in
the
formation of a task force in early 2014, made up of Cemig and union representatives, to foster joint actions to consolidate
Safety as a company value, and to make considerations of health and safety a flourishing component of the organizational
climate. Nine meetings were held over the course of the year, resulting in the following highlights:
improvement in the flow of communication between teams of Live Wire electricians and the Distribution Operations
Center (COD), including dissemination of information, changes of methodology and input of human and technological
resources;
improvements in training, information distribution and organization of
electricians’ work;
implementation in Belo Horizonte of a pilot project in Work Gymnastics, to fortify the bone structure of the Live Wire
electricians;
study of ergonomic improvements in the forthcoming refurbishment of Cemig’s
vehicle fleet;
study of the Jobs and Compensation Plan;
a Live Wire Workshop,
with participation by representatives of all Live Wire electrician crews, to discuss issues
addressed by the Health and Safety Compact.
In addition, aiming to achieve more precise and proactive control in managing risks of workplace situations, Cemig is
implementing a new management model, called Hira-Cemig. It develops scenarios through numeric risk profiles that take into
account: a) existing hazards; b) the probability of hazards resulting in harm to people; c) mitigation through existing control
measures; and d) increased potential of risks as a result of psycho-social hazards. Based on international standards and
models, the new model allows for management of internal and external changes, verification of compliance with the
legislation in force, planning and implementation of new measures for control, their validation with workers and direct
supervisors, and identification of ergonomic demands, when analysts discover a need to dissect production processes in
their search for solutions.
Cemig also has a variety of other tools that help in managing and
monitoring OSHW at the Company, such as:
Risk analysis, carried out prior to each operational activity. The specific aspects of each situation are taken into
account, including workers’ physical and mental condition in the period before they start the activity;
the Monitoring and Auditing System for Analysis of Safety Practices (SIMASP), which standardizes and streamlines
work safety inspections and provides data for the Safety Practice Indicator (ISP) – a measure of compliance with
occupational safety and health requirements and procedures in the work of the company’s own staff and sub-
195
Table of Contents
contractors; .
the Job Risk and Accident Monitoring System (SMART), which is run each month for accident management,
generating statistical reports based on the registration of accidents, broken down by type;
the Environmental Risk Prevention Program (PPRA), required by law: this is executed annually at each company
facility, and consists of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling physical, chemical and biological risks,
serving as one of the sources for drawing up Hira-Cemig risk profiles;
the Interlude for
Safety – a forum held monthly for presenting and discussing issues relating to OSHW, and
sometimes used for alignment with policy and dissemination of
information. The meetings in late 2014 dealt with the
subjects Electricity (NR-10), Confined Spaces (NR-33) and Working at Heights (NR-35).
Other tools for monitoring employee health and well-being include periodic and special medical inventories, psychological
evaluations and social inventories, conducted locally where employees are on duty.
In 2014, a
joint study was conducted in areas affected by the Law 12,783 of 2013, which resulted in Cemig returning control
of certain hydroelectric plants to the federal
government. Some 200 employees took part in this study, consisting of three
phases:
Emotional reaction / acceptance;
Study of the group expectations in relation to Cemig;
Listing of individual expectations.
The Inner Happiness and Well-being
program (FIB) was extended, which seeks to heighten Cemig employees’ collective and
individual sense of well-being. FIB uses bio-psychological techniques
based on body-and-mind science. .
Some of
the practices have also even been
included in courses at UniverCemig. Another ongoing health promotion program run by the
Company is Vital Energy, whose chief aim is to raise employee awareness on
the importance of the quality of life at home as
well as at work. A detailed description of this and other programs can be accessed here.
In light of technological developments in the electricity sector, with a consequent need for review of working methods, the
Company maintains internal committees that address technical matters directly or indirectly related to OSHW issues, in
addition to actively participating in a variety of working groups at the national level, as well as on ABNT (Brazilian Technical
Standards Association) commissions and study groups.
Cemig operates 73 Internal Accident
Prevention Committees (CIPAs), which cover 100% of all employees and are made up of
their representatives, employers and union groups. They operate autonomously
and independently to work on prevention of
accidents and occupational diseases.
Results of Indicators
As a result of various company actions and programs
oriented towards matters of Occupational Safety, Health and Wellbeing,
accident indicators have shown a steady downward trend in the past 10 years, both for the
company’s own staff and
for sub-contractors.
Cemig has a computerized
system in which all accidents occurring on the Company’s premises involving its own staff, subcontractors
or subcontracting firms are registered, as are
accidents involving the public in the Company’s concession area.
Accident Frequency and Severity Rates are monitored, with the adoption of the guidelines
referenced in Brazilian Standard
ABNT NBR 14280.
Data on sub-contractors are
managed by the contracting departments.
Specific physical exercises stimulate the balanced functioning of the body’s glands, which results in the achievement
of
physical and psychological well-being, as scientifically proven.

The two fatalities occurred in 2014, in a single event, where two
employees of a subcontracting firm were on a motorbike and
were involved in a traffic accident (collision). The Company and its sub-contractors have a variety of
actions, campaigns and
training methods in place, focused on prevention of traffic accidents.
Cemig’s Lost-Time Injury Frequency Rate – the LTFR indicator – for all workers in 2014 was 2.03, an all-time low for the
Company, and within the target set for the year. The indicator for sub-contractors was 2.13, and for the Company’s own staff,
1.70. These figures are in accordance with ABNT NBR Standard 14280, which Cemig adopts. Cemig’s figures for LTFR on the
US 200,000-man-hour basis are as follows:
MANAGEMENT OF SUPPLIERS
Three main documents – Cemig’s Supply Policy; its Declaration of Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct; and
its Anti-fraud Policy – orient Cemig’s relations with the supply chain, backed and expressed by the Supplier Relations Manual,
permanently available on Cemig’s Suppliers’ website – which was inaugurated in 2009 during the First Cemig Suppliers’
Meeting.
Based on these policies, principles and guidelines, five priority commitments have
been defined as a strategy for managing
the supply chain: (1) commitment to the public good, and respect for the principles of legality; (2) commitment to business
ethics; (3) commitment to equality before the law; (4) commitment to transparency; and (5) commitment to social and
environmental responsibility.

These pledges are in keeping with the Principles of the UN’s
Global Compact, of which Cemig is a signatory.
Because its controlling stockholder is in the public sector, and is thus subject to the Law on Public Competitions
(Law
8666/1993), Cemig does not engage in direct contracting of suppliers, nor does it preferentially hire local suppliers. However,
a large number of local suppliers are registered on the website, and 62,103 of the 77,433 suppliers listed there in 2014 were
from the Company’s home state of Minas Gerais, or 80.2% of the total. The proportion of outlays with local suppliers in 2014
was 79.39% for materials acquisitions, and 81.13% for services, so that overall 80.37% of expenditure goes to Minas Gerais
suppliers.
The supplier relationship begins with a rigorous registration process, in which
candidates must satisfy legal, technical,
financial, social, environmental and health and safety criteria to participate in tenders.
Bids must be in compliance with the terms of calls for bids, and the required documents must be submitted upon signing of
the contract, which includes environmental, social and governance clauses. Candidates must pass the Technical Industrial
Evaluation (ATI) – for suppliers of materials, or the Technical Contractor Evaluation (ATE) - for the service suppliers, and be
compliant with the Social-environmental Responsibility practices specified in the SA 8000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001
standards and the Global Compact. In 2014, 63 ATI visits to register suppliers and 74 ATE visits to register contractors were
conducted, all of them including environmental requirements.
Processes for registration,
bidding and contracts will not be completed if the supplier is not compliant with all the
employment, tax and environmental legislation. Selection of suppliers is
by competitive bid, since the Company is subject to
Law 8666, and therefore a bidder may be excluded if not compliant with legal requirements – such as the
law against child
labor, or other degrading or compulsory labor, and the clauses protecting human rights. Cemig encourages certain other
supplementary items, such as implementation of ISO standards for Social and/or Environmental Responsibility, so that its
value chain will disseminate good practices.
As described in the Chapter on Ethical Conduct,
starting in January 2015 Cemig has included drafting on all contracts
requiring the supplier to undertake: “to be aware of and comply with the rules specified
in Law 12,846/2013, of August 1, 2013
(the ‘Anti-corruption Law’); to abstain from committing acts likely to be harmful to the public administration; and
to report the
practice of any irregularities of which it may be aware through the reporting channels made available by the contracting
party.”
These requirements are constantly checked during execution of contracts, to see
whether the conditions laid down in the call
for bids are being maintained – in all the supply chains. And payment for services rendered is contingent on
submission of
documents proving payment of the employment-law-related charges on payroll, and of the employees’ salaries themselves –
so that contractual penalties can be applied if a supplier is not meeting its social obligations.
Cemig’s principal action in relation to its supply chain is preventive (during the registration phase); but there are mechanisms
for mitigation (fines, and cancellation of contract) and remediation (for example follow-up on termination of employees of
sub-contracted companies).
A further procedure has recently been formalized: an assessment of
risks to sustainability in the supply chain, in all
purchasing processes in progress at Cemig and its subsidiaries. This assessment examines any economic,
environmental
and social responsibility risks to which the company is exposed due to the actions of its suppliers. These risks could cause
damage to Cemig’s brand, image or reputation in the eyes of the numerous stakeholders, or losses relating to the market and
the Company’s competitiveness, with the possibility even of criminal or civil liability being urged against the Company. The
Company also seeks to use management of the supply chain as an opportunity to improve its financial performance over the
long term.
Accordingly, the company has identified which of its suppliers have high
sustainability risk, considering the potential negative
impacts that could result from serious non-compliances on their part. The identification of materials,
services and suppliers
LA14 EN32 HR10 GC10 GC6 GC5 GC4 EC9
198
Table of Contents
that pose a high risk to sustainability is reviewed annually,
prompting follow-up and oversight of suppliers from the
registration stage through to technical evaluation and oversight of contract execution.
For already approved suppliers, there are extensive requirements and diligence involved in mapping potential risks, and the
probability of their realization, and their tangible and intangible impacts in terms of financial value or of strategic importance
to the Company. This analysis is conducted to measure risks and losses that could result from failures, in the supply chain, to
uphold environmental, social and governance legislation and requirements.
Among factors
considered as having the potential to generate negative impacts are: environmental operating permits,
products and services, waste management, water use permits,
fundamental human rights considerations, child labor and
compulsory labor, freedom of association, working, occupational health and safety conditions, business
ethics, corruption
and anti-trust practices.
To prevent and mitigate risk,
the Company adopts risk management measures that, primarily, include transparency in all
bidding processes. In addition, Cemig encourages improvement in the
management of its service providers through a
contractual clause requiring amortization of any penalty payments by as much as 50%, if compliance is proven with
requirements such as: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications; proof of training of technical staff; and having
service managers enrolled in or graduated from corporate management courses.
For suppliers
with low performance grades or showing negative or potentially negative conduct in assessments, inspections
or audits, penalties may be imposed in the form of
penalty payments, warnings, meetings, cancellation of orders or contracts,
or revocation of approvals; or internal proceedings for suspension of registration
– depending on the seriousness and/or
recurrence of the circumstances in question.
In 2014, Cemig initiated 42 administrative proceedings: 32 were for breach of contract (failure to meet deadlines, non-delivery
of items, irregular service); one for serious accidents; two for irregularities in specific work projects; and 7 were cases to
ascertain the legitimacy of bidding procedures.
To measure the performance of suppliers or
contractors, Cemig uses the IQSC (Contracted Services Quality Index), which
combines indices of quality with social and environmental considerations. Cemig’s
suppliers achieved a global IQSC of
89.92% in 2014.
Details on this KPI are
available online at: http://www.cemig.com.br/enus/
suppliers/Documents/LINK%205%20PDF%20ING%20rev%20final.pdf
To ensure supplier oversight, Cemig maintains its practice of daily inspections of contractors: there were 10,258 safety
inspections to analyze Safety Practices, which can be expressed as a total of 184,465 man-hours inspected. Service quality
inspections, which are also routine procedures, to assess the quality of services and waste management, totaled 58,294
procedures – summing emergency and commercial services.
In all cases, throughout 2014
Cemig maintained – and monitored contractors’ compliance with – its requirement for
obligatory declaration by new suppliers (and those renewing
registration) that they do not employ minors under 18 on night,
hazardous or unhealthy work, nor employ minors under 16 for any kind of work (Law 8666/93).
Other forms of monitoring, evaluation and control of the supply chain include: internal audits, by audit teams that are
independent of the supply chain and of contract management; ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 audits conducted by
third parties; and oversight of contracts by managers.
MANAGEMENT HIGHLIGHTS AND PROGRESS IN
2014
Start of service for logistical operations in Cemig’s materials supply chain HR11 EN33 LA1
199
Table of Contents
Coordinated logistics can reduce costs, enhance specialization,
improve operational data management and maximize
operational efficiency, providing effective service quality to the client while streamlining operating costs.
In June 2014 Cemig put in place an integrated logistical operation for materials and transport of special loads. This will not
only provide a financial gain but improve lead times for consumer connections and in the company’s works on maintenance
and expansion of its electricity system.
The Cemig Suppliers Award – 2014 edition
As a way of encouraging quality in the provision of goods and services, and also recognizing the synergy achieved in reaching
common goals with the Company, a number of suppliers of materials and services were honored at the 5th annual Cemig
Suppliers Awards event held in May 2014.
In 2014, a universe of 625 suppliers received
purchase orders or contracts from Cemig. Of these, the awards singled out 69
suppliers for performance based on criteria such as quality, safety, guarantees and
price. Of this total, 38 achieved a grade of
excellence in ‘Assured Provision of Materials.’ They won plaques in recognition of their services –
and as well as trophies,
they also received certificates exempting their deliveries from prior inspection of goods by Cemig for a period of one year.
Three suppliers were recognized for their Social and Environmental Responsibility practices; and in the Job Safety category
four were considered to be of significant benefit to society. This special recognition of contributions to job safety is a feature
introduced to these awards in 2013.
Program for carbon management in the value chain
The 3rd edition of the Program for Carbon Management in the Value Chain, developed by the Chamber for Energy and Climate
Change of the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), Brazil’s representative on the World Business
Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), has been raising the awareness of 250 suppliers of member companies and
has trained them to draw up their own Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission inventories since 2012.
Cemig was one of the Program’s sponsors in 2014, together with another 10 CEBDS member companies. Some 123
suppliers were given training – an increase of 22% in engagement from 2013. And 33 suppliers completed their emission
inventories, while another four are drawing them up – an increase of approximately 10% in relation to 2013.
COMMUNICATION CHANNELS WITH SUPPLIERS
Cemig has created a Procurement Website for supplier
engagement. It is an open, direct-interaction channel that gives
access to all procedures for tender processes; publishes and executes contracts; and fosters
supplier interaction and followup
on processes and results. It also enables suppliers to post proposals and bids, register authorizing documentation and
take part in electronic auctions.
The site is accessible to the public and
allows stakeholders in general to follow these processes, contributing to greater
transparency and authenticity.
E-mails of complaints and suggestions have been a standard feature for all management units engaged with suppliers.
Cemig has now restructured and standardized this system for e-mail communication, in 2014 – for improved visibility, and to
encourage use by other stakeholders. The most frequent requests have been for explanations and information about tenders
and contracts. The complete inventory of contact and interaction with suppliers could be summed up as: phone, e-mail,
publications in the Official Gazette (Diário Oficial), PEC (Procurement Portal) exchanges during online auctions, fax,
correspondence, meetings and visits to address specific questions.
All requests for
information received through any of the channels are analyzed and forwarded for appropriate treatment

No complaints of an environmental nature were recorded in 2014.
In December 2013, Cemig was served with an infringement notice by Brazil’s Employment Ministry arising from an
inspection made at a company participating in a consortium of service providers in the Belo Horizonte metropolitan
region related to electricity distribution. Cemig presented its defense to the Minas Gerais Regional Labor Bureau, an
agency of the Employment Ministry.
As noted previously, all Cemig’s service contracts
include obligations that seek to ensure complete compliance with
Brazilian law, including those concerning amounts payable by the employer under the employment and
social
security laws, and in particular, health and safety conditions.
The
requirements specified in the Company’s bidding processes and contracts are checked for compliance during
execution of the contracts – including the
payment obligations due to employees under the employment laws,
health and safety criteria, and procedures relating to adequate execution of services.
In 2013, numerous safety inspections were also conducted at the company in question. The documents obtained
and inspections performed by Cemig indicated that the employees’ due payments under the employment laws were
being regularly paid; the legal working shift was being obeyed – a minimum of 11 hours between shifts – and
employees were being properly compensated for services rendered.
In addition, Cemig demanded
submission of a statistical table of overtime hours worked. The documents submitted
by the contractor did not show that employees worked an excessive number of
hours. Furthermore, it was
established that all employees had received specific training for the services they were executing.
Cemig notified the company in question about the violations identified in the enforcement actions, and accompanied
the corrective measures adopted. When it ascertained that some violations persisted, Cemig applied the penalties
stipulated in the contract.
In the second half of 2013, the Contractor was served notice to
regularize the violations, and incurred penalties for
breach of contractual obligations.
In addition, Cemig took appropriate measures, having applied contractual penalties that had been specified, and
started Administrative Proceedings, in which the contractor has full right of defense. These resulted in the following
sanctions:
Rescission of the contract with the Company; and
Suspension of the contractor from the Cemig supplier registry, and its right to take part in tenders by Cemig,
its subsidiaries and affiliates for a period of two years, counting from the first business day after the
publication (on January 31, 2014) of the result of the administrative proceeding in the Federal Official Gazette
(DOU – Diário Oficial da União).
The penalties adopted by Cemig were
published in the DOU on January 31, 2014.
To guarantee the employment–law rights of the Contractor’s employees, and bearing in mind the suspension of
the
company in question, Cemig monitored the process of termination of employment contract of each one of the
employees, to ensure that due payment of wages and benefits was made, and also the official ratifications of these
terminations with the labor union representing the group.
Cemig has endeavored to see to it
that any workers interested would be accepted at other companies holding valid
contracts with Cemig for services in distribution networks.
The Company has intensified its inspection activities to ensure that contracted services are executed with due

preservation of quality and, above all, with appropriate health and
safety conditions for the workers involved.
In July of 2014, an Employment-law Court issued an interim remedy ordering the Federal Government to abstain
from including the name of Cemig in the Federal List of Defaulting Debtors (Cadin), or if it had included it, to exclude
it, in all matters arising from fines applied under the infringement notices as they applied to Cemig.
THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Cemig bases its relations with communities near its
project sites on actions guided by a sense of shared responsibility, and
by stimulating local economic and social development. It acts in accordance with its
Community Communication Policy,
which specifies guidelines to indicate what strategy the Company should adopt, and is used to establish criteria for business
decisions involving local communities.
Maintaining a communication process
ensures quality engagement with a broad spectrum of stakeholders. In all Company
interactions, care is taken to respect and listen to those who have direct contact
with Cemig or are affected by any of its
activities. At new facilities or others administered by the Company, contact with communities occurs throughout the year,
via
education projects, encouragement of handicraft production and local activities, rainfall alerts, periodic visits and training
sessions geared towards assistance and keeping up with local developments.
Employees who
perform field activities and interact directly with communities identify requests for engagement
opportunities. After the appeals are analyzed, they are followed
up through the business communication department, which is
responsible for diagnostics, planning and execution.
Cemig uses a variety of tools for developing and implementing these actions. One is the Social-environmental Diagnosis,
which it carries out for each project. This involves a qualitative survey of opinion makers to identify community perceptions of
Cemig’s image and role in the region, on the basis of which a methodology keyed to local habits and customs is developed.
Every three to five years a new study is carried out to measure people’s knowledge of Cemig’s program and image. Another
tool is the Communication Plan, which seeks to keep the public informed about the company, with emphasis on disruptions
that might affect people’s daily lives directly or indirectly, in terms of expectations and demands associated with operation
and maintenance.
In addition to the tools for engagement already noted, the Company also
organizes institutional contacts, meetings, lectures
and events, news clipping summaries, press releases, visits to facilities, creation and distribution of
materials and
informational items, while also conducting opinion surveys, among other things. All information gathered in the field is
systematically compiled in periodic reports.
Communication agents assigned to engage the
public through the Face-to-Face program, in rural Minas Gerais, are another
bridge between the Company and the community. They make direct contact, and are present
at the Company’s projects
wherever there is significant need for this attention. They are responsible for holding regular meetings and for developing and
disseminating all kinds of communication packages. All the requests they gather are passed on in reports, which are analyzed
and generate action plans. In 2014, Cemig made more than 250 visits serving more than 20 municipalities in the Irapé region,
where the program is in pace permanently.
The Company recognizes the importance, and
particularities, of every community. It endeavors, based on an in-depth analysis
D M A

C O M M U N I T Y

Table of Contents
of socio-environmental diagnostics and surveys, to define key
difficulties and needs, and based on this understanding to offer
assistance through actions and social projects. This community relations strategy in the
Company’s areas of influence has
various results, including:
Building of
credibility and a perception of the Company’s commitment to addressing public demands.
Contribution to local development through shared responsibility;
promotion of well-being, culture and sports;
Stimulation of local economic and social development, providing access to electricity, and serving low-income
communities through energy efficiency programs;
Respect and attention for
those affected by an activity or who have direct contact with the Company.
One highlight in 2014 was the Company’s Proximity program. Bringing the
Company’s community relations activities together
into a single stream, this includes a series of meetings which give the public an explanation of the
operational and safety
procedures at Cemig’s hydroelectric plants, instructive information about climate conditions and environmental aspects, and
even guided tours of its power stations – and collects requests from the public. It also establishes partnerships with local
leaders, official agencies, media and other agents responsible for safety and preventing flood damage, such as Civil Defense,
the Fire Department and the Military Police. In the past three years this program was offered at 31 hydroelectric plants,
reaching a public of 1,400 visitors.
Cemig has created a wide range of socio-environmental
activities in connection with its projects. A good example is the series
of meetings with local leaders and residents at the Sete Lagoas Solar Plant in 2014, and
the associated environmental
education program, which attracted some 1,400 students – in tandem with a tree-planting project in the district where
construction is in progress, conceived as a response to concern for the neighboring community’s well-being.
Some of these activities respond to particular conditions. An example is Araxá, where an environmental education program
was offered to the public affected by construction of the Araxá 2–Jaguara Transmission Line, which runs from the
municipalities of Araxá and Sacramento in Minas Gerais to Rifania in São Paulo state. The aim of the program is to make
information available, through a range of communication tools and channels, to those who are directly affected. These lines
of action are identified and prioritized in response to the needs and expectations of the communities where Cemig operates,
as captured by diagnostic surveys executed through the Communication Plan.
The Irapé
Power Plant
Special attention was given to the social and environmental program at the Irapé Hydroelectric Plant. This included a
remodeled strategy for communication with the community, to achieve maximum interaction. Today, there is a
dedicated field communicator for face-to-face visits, to provide information about Cemig and to keep track of local
demands from the affected communities, the urban population in the surrounding area and residents in
municipalities indirectly involved in the project – and to be a channel for information with the local press, NGOs and
political and religious leaders. A specific website about the plant was created in 2014, which will be a further tool for
informing the public about works and activities in the vicinity.
TERRITORY MANAGEMENT
To build substations, power plants and repeater stations, Cemig sometimes has to acquire the property of residents in
communities where the company is establishing a project, or rights of way to implement distribution and transmission lines,
or distribution networks. To guide this process, an internal instruction, ‘Social and Environmental Negotiations at Cemig’ and
Aneel Normative Resolution 560 of July 2, 2013 provide orientation on areas declared to be of public utility for the purposes
of expropriation and establishment of rights of way needed for installation of electrical generation, transmission and
distribution facilities.

Feasibility studies carried out by specific internal teams identify
people who will be affected by projects. These studies
ascertain whether the options for routes will affect preservation areas, legal-reserve areas, or sites being
or to be divided for
new housing; whether recent improvements will need to be eliminated; whether owners accept the proposed project;
amounts of compensation to be paid; and other issues. The best route is chosen after analysis of these studies.
No families were displaced in 2014, but 555 negotiations were conducted with owners for implementation of 39 Cemig
projects, involving approximately R$ 8.2 million. None of these negotiations prompted any lawsuits against Cemig (sparing
the Company additional expense). Cemig respects the individual integrity of each citizen, and the history and culture of the
communities affected by projects, and also values amicable negotiations – seeking to compensate property owners with the
fair market price, based on appraisals drawn up in accordance with Brazilian Association of Technical Standards - ABNT NBR
14.653.
In addition to outreach initiatives with the communities in areas where Cemig and its
subsidiaries operate, also important are
some of the initiatives involving firms in which the Company does not have a controlling interest. Cemig’s
participation in
these other development projects is part of its strategic objective to diversify its business and growth via holdings in largescale
hydroelectric plants. The size of these projects gives rise to a variety of demands, which are dealt with by the
construction consortia, and government agencies, without involving Cemig, which is a minority shareholder.
The main social initiatives adopted by these companies in 2014 are described below.
Light
In 2014, Light maintained its partnerships with the state government, operating in areas where Police Pacification Units -
UPPs were set up, to renovate and extend low- and medium-voltage networks, install and replace transformers, install
distribution poles, and conduct client registration and re-registration, as well as actions sponsored by the Efficient
Community Program. Nearly R$ 330 million was invested in the program to reduce electricity distribution losses in 2014, with
Light allocating R$ 16.9 million to network improvements and R$ 40.1 million for installation of 40,357 meters in these
pacified communities. In other areas with high loss rates, R$ 28.8 million was spent on network improvements, and R$ 143.8
million on installation of 148,480 new meters. Of this total, an additional R$ 49.0 million was invested in normalization of
49,886 low-voltage clients, and R$ 6.9 million for 842 medium-voltage clients.
At the same
time, R$ 22.3 million was invested in the Efficient Community program, which replaces refrigerators and
incandescent light bulbs with more efficient alternatives,
and provides education on rational and safe electricity consumption.
It can be highlighted that the current priority of the Efficient Community program is
Light’s Energy Losses Reduction
Program. In a new mode of relating to clients, Light encourages energy efficiency while disseminating social benefits and
helping to improve the quality of life for residents of these communities by enabling them to adapt consumption to what they
can afford. The company benefits from reduced electricity theft and fewer account defaults.
Belo Monte
As a result of the decision to build the Belo Monte Hydroelectric
Plant, 3,784 families, or about 15,000 people, were relocated
in the period from January to December 2014. Of this number, 1,785 families from the urban area of
Altamira were relocated
to urban resettlement communities in Jatobá, São Joaquim, Casa Nova and Água Azul, while 474 received compensation. In
rural areas, 367 families received letters of credit, and 1,158 indemnities were paid in cash.
The charitable component of the Belo Monte projects is organized by the Belo Monte Social Welfare Forum - FASBM,
structured as a committee, with commissions and sub-committees on specific issues. The Forum consists of 26 local and
regional representatives, including town governments, associations, labor unions, cooperatives, the federal agencies Ibama
and Funai, and the Federal University of Pará - UFPA. From its creation in July 2011 through December 2014, 77 meetings
GC2
204
Table of Contents
were held with a total of 1,935 participants.
The Program to Encourage Professional Training and Development of Productive Activities is another highlight initiative
which, through December 2014, has trained a total of 1,107 participants in Senai and Sebrae courses offered to the public in
areas directly influenced by Belo Monte, focusing on opportunities generated by the project. At the same time, 328 local
companies have been registered and assisted through the differentiated purchasing system developed by the Suppliers’
Development Network of the Federation of Industries of the State of Pará - Fiepa. It is designed to bring together Norte
Energia’s local suppliers and the construction and assembly consortia building the Belo Monte Plant, to stimulate the region’s
business environment and prioritize local purchasing.
Renova
The Social Communication Program of the Alto Sertão I, II and III Wind Complexes seeks to promote a channel for interaction
and exchange of information with communities in the Complex’s areas of influence about the operation and building of
Renova Energia’s wind farms. It also disseminates environmental control measures to control, monitor and mitigate any
impacts that the construction and operation of the wind farms may cause.
The Alto
Sertão I and II Wind Complexes (in operation), and the Alto Sertão III Wind Complex (under construction) are in the
municipalities of Caetité,
Igaporã, Guanambi, Pindaí, Urandi, Riacho de Santana and Licínio de Almeida. The various publics
that interact in this program comprise social
agents from the areas of influence that are categorized as (a) priority zones:
Directly Affected Areas - ADAs, Areas of Direct Influence - AIDs and Areas of
Indirect Influence - AIIs; and (b) secondary zones:
other municipalities in the Productive Sertão and the Velho Chico Identity Territories, and
state-government bodies.
The methodology for this program aims to encourage participation by local groups before, during and after construction of
wind farms.
In the pre-implementation phase in 2014, meetings were held to introduce the Alto
Sertão III Wind Complex Project in six
municipalities – Caetité, Igaporã, Pindaí, Urandi, Licínio de Almeida and Riacho de
Santana. The meetings were held together
with the local government authority, attended by 33 participants. A further 22 meetings were attended by 1,211 people from
ADA and AID communities.
For the construction and operational phases, the
meetings of the Project Oversight Commission - CAE were a key factor. This
Commission was established to oversee the implementation and operation of the projects,
including environmental programs
to be implemented as conditions of the Installation and Operating Licenses. One of the main contributions the CAE can
achieve is greater engagement among agents involved in the project, enhancing positive effects, and anticipating problems
that could arise from construction and operation of the wind farms. In addition, it provides a forum where plans and
environmental licensing programs can be discussed transparently and democratically.
Also in
2014, Renova Energia continued its quarterly meetings with groups from the Alto Sertão I and II Wind Complexes –
which both started commercial
operation during the year. These commissions are made up of the following groups: NGOs,
officials and councilors of municipal government, community leaders and
representatives of civil society and the business
community. The Project Oversight Commission of the Alto Sertão I comprises 11 active members and their
respective
substitute members; that of the Alto Sertão II has 20 active members, also each with a substitute member.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP AND PHILANTHROPY
In line with its Vision, Mission and Values, Cemig
creates shared value, joining philanthropic strategies and corporate
citizenship with business objectives and promoting economic and social development of the
communities in which it
operates. Fostering the social transformation of local communities was one of the themes identified in Cemig’s materiality
matrix that reinforces the aspirations and expectations of its various stakeholders.
205
Table of Contents
To this end, Cemig has developed a strategy for sustainable
community development, creating sustainable value in
partnership with government entities (state Health, Education and Culture Secretariats, federal Sports and
Health Ministries)
and philanthropic institutions (through the AI6% and Account Exemption Programs), while also relying on the engagement of
employees (AI6%, and the Volunteer Group) and society (clients donating to the Programa de Apadrinhamento [‘Sponsorship
Program’] through their monthly power bills).
Operating in an emerging market, Cemig has
defined the priorities of its strategy for Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy
as follows:
social and educational development;
strengthening the cultural sector; and
increasing its participation in the sports sector, bolstering the Company’s brand and image in the market and in
society.
Cemig’s Sponsorship Policy is codified in a document that reiterates the
Company’s commitment to management
transparency, making public the funding assumptions, underpinnings and origins that guide its decisions regarding
sponsorships, support programs, partnerships and the use of federal incentive laws in its various social, cultural and sports
investments.
Cemig also has prepared an internal Service Instruction establishing duties and
responsibilities for all agents involved,
designed to ensure sound management of social projects. The following Cemig programs, which strive to enhance social and
educational development, are particularly notable:
Grant Program;
Sponsorship Program;
FIA and AI6% Programs;
Health Projects;
Energy Efficiency Program. .
Through the Grant Program, Cemig offers a 25% discount on electricity bills based on average consumption over the last 12
months to philanthropic institutions, at a locked-in rate in Reais. To participate in the Program, the eligible social assistance
entities .
must
possess a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Development Secretariat. In 2014, the program’s discounts benefited
1,125 organizations with an aggregate of reductions in their electricity bills totaling R$ 6,734,440.00. The program generates
savings for institutions that can be used for social welfare purposes. It also reduces power bill payment defaults, since only
institutions that are compliant with Cemig can receive the benefit.
The Sponsorship Program
involves the collection of third-party donations (sponsors) in favor of the institutions, through
electricity bills, which are wholly transferred to their bank
accounts. Sponsors who enroll in the program can choose which
registered institutions to benefit and the amount to be debited on the electricity bill. In 2014,
approximately 332 institutions
received an aggregate R$ 43.825 million in donations through the program. Thus, using its energy billing system, Cemig can
establish partnerships within society (clients, who become sponsors of the institutions) that benefit society and, thus,
enhance its image as a company committed to the development of local communities. The institutions, for their part, receive
secure donations making use of Cemig’s infrastructure and capillarity, without their having any costs of their own on
communication or printing of billing and/or payment slips.
The AI6% Program aims to encourage
Cemig employees and retirees to transfer up to 6% of their income tax to Funds for
Children and Teenagers (FIAs). In 2014, the FIA transfer incentive program
involved 2,158 Cemig employee volunteers,
Described in the Clients and Consumers chapter, Energy Efficiency and Conservation item.
Long-stay institutions for the elderly - ILPI (nursing homes); daily child care center; Association of Parents and Friends of
Exceptional Children – APAE; shelter; hostel; halfway house; casa-lar (house-home) and recovery center for drug addicts;
and health services entities.

earmarking funds to 102 municipalities and benefiting 193
institutions. The amount allocated by the employees was
R$ 1,353,389.00; the Company’s matching investment was R$ 2,500,000.00. In total, some R$ 3,853,389.00
was transferred
to help approximately 24,814 children and teenagers.
Corporate Volunteer Program
Aiming to expand engagement of its employees in
social causes, in 2014 Cemig changed the structure of its Social
Responsibility Committee, which now includes a group of company volunteers who are responsible for
establishing the
Corporate Volunteer Program’s guidelines and standards, organizing and managing voluntary initiatives in alignment with
corporate strategy. The committee encourages and supports the involvement of its employees in volunteer activities that
benefit communities.
This is in fact a revitalization of an existing program Cemig has run for
many years, based on initiatives that have been very
successful with its employees. We can mention two of these:
AI6%: previously reported in this item.
“V-Day”: a date focused on mobilizing and
fostering solidarity actions, held annually in a previously selected
community. It is conducted in partnership with several Cemig group companies to encourage
employees to volunteer.
In 2014, 17,187 hours were dedicated to the Volunteer Program, including its planning and organization, as well as technical
visits and participation in courses and conferences by members of the Corporate Volunteer Group — resulting in an average
of 2.17 hours/employee.
In Health, Cemig participated for the second consecutive year in
Health Ministry Programs in conjunction with the
government of Minas Gerais through the Health Secretariat, as follows:
Pronas – National Program for Health Care, benefiting 10 entities;
Pronon –
National Program for Oncology Support, benefiting three entities in Minas Gerais state.
Strengthening the cultural sector is also one of the Company’s
Corporate Citizenship priorities. To foster culture, Cemig
assists local society through generation of recreational opportunities, while preserving the memory and
identity of the
communities in which it operates. This extends to the Company’s own history, as well, because Cemig has strong national
and Minas Gerais-state cultural roots. These initiatives also boost Cemig’s reputation with its various stakeholders; for
example, as a company that protects cultural heritage and encourages artistic expression.
Cemig partners with the Minas Gerais State Culture Secretariat in its cultural initiatives, a policy that ensures alignment with
public policies — a strategic factor for assertively choosing projects it wants to sponsor or wishes to participate in to assure
continuity of structuring actions in this field.
The two main programs are:
Cemig Cultural – A program that encourages research and development of artistic languages and free entrance, and
thus has become a basic investment for the development of the cultural market and contributes to sustaining
permanent education spaces.
Filme em Minas (Film it in Minas) – A program to stimulate
audiovisual creation that is heating up the audiovisual
production market in the state of Minas Gerais. It encourages adoption of new languages and formats that
reveal the
state’s cultural plurality and diversity.
Cultural
sponsorships benefited a total of 164 projects in 2014, with investments of R$ 7.4 million in own funds and R$ 20.2
million in transfers through tax incentive
laws.
Another one of the Company’s objectives is to uphold Cemig’s commitment to the realities and demands of the local
207
Table of Contents
environments in which it operates, contributing to the development
of sports in line with public policies enacted by
communities. For the community, the program helps meet social recovery and citizenship goals, especially for
children and
teenagers, by encouraging sports and generating opportunities for local youths to become athletes. For Cemig, the program
enhances its image as a company committed to the development of healthy habits and the welfare and development of the
communities involved.
In 2014, the Company invested a total of R$ 8.4 million in sports and
received the Prêmio Empresário Amigo do Esporte
(Sport-Friendly Entrepreneur Prize) awarded by the Sports Ministry; it was also named the company that
most invests in sport
in the state of Minas Gerais.
One of Cemig’s
prominent sports projects is Versol, which was created to promote social inclusion and citizenship awareness
in children and youths from low-income backgrounds,
providing socialization paths through sports, vocational training
courses geared to the nautical labor market, environmental education and the restoration of
elements of nautical culture. For
children aged 9-15, the sports development program offers sailing initiation courses and training through practical and
theoretical classes in swimming, sailing (dinghy and Optimist classes) and rowing. From age 16, students receive
professional training, including Outboard Engine Mechanics and Ecotourism courses. Begun in 2010, the project is a
partnership between Cemig, the Três Marias city government and Instituto Rumo Náutico, the sailing institute directed by the
Grael brothers. More than 1,500 students have been through the program in the last four years.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY
Cemig’s environmental strategy seeks to balance development, environmental protection, preservation of biodiversity,
rational use of natural resources, and compliance with environmental legislation, with the Business Mission and Vision and
the Company’s Strategic Planning. In its formulation, current and future risks and opportunities, challenges, medium- and
long-term scenarios and the expectations of the public with whom Cemig interacts are considered. Cemig’s Environmental
and Biodiversity policies, Climate Change Commitment and also internal procedures orient this entire process. These
documents were prepared to highlight the alignment of the Company’s planning and strategic management with the sharing

The Socio-Environmental Adaptation Program is multiannual and takes a cross-sectional approach throughout Cemig. It is
the tool that details corporate strategy at a tactical level, in which the strategic guiding points are established. Through a
prioritization matrix, the operation of the strategy is driven based on definition of programs and initiatives with their
respective responsibilities, actions, goals, objectives, indicators and allocation of resources – comprising topics such as:
Biodiversity, Water and Climate Change. The goals relative to these and other topics are shown under the item Strategy in this
report.
The involvement of Cemig’s many stakeholders through activities networks and the
building of partnerships to help prepare
and implement all programs is considered to be of fundamental importance. The environmental strategy, and its tactical and
operational implementation, are presented below.
The Environmental Compliance
Committee, composed of representatives of Cemig’s departments, periodically monitors the
implementation of the Socio-Environmental Adaptation Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
The Environmental Management System – SGA
permits adoption of best practices for minimizing environmental risks and
optimizing operating costs. Acting preventively, it aims to minimize potential
environmental impacts, reduce environmental
incidents, prepare employees appropriately for emergency response, and achieve greater assertiveness in conducting the
environmental strategy and fulfilling commitments to the appropriate authorities.

Table of Contents
Through adoption of the ISO 14001:2004 standard, or an Internal
Management System called SGA Level 1 .
,
designed on the basis of the
principles of NBR ISO 14001:2004, the areas now operate in a controlled manner that is focused
on compliance with legal requirements for environmental management.
To ensure control, both systems are verified by
independent audits carried out by a certification body accredited by Inmetro (the Brazilian National Metrics,
Quality and
Technology Institute).
Regardless of certification of the
Environmental Management System, 100% of Cemig’s activities must obey the minimum
requirements of environmental suitability, which are governed by internal
procedures, and are periodically audited by the
Company’s Internal Auditors. At the end of 2014, this procedure was revised, with training being scheduled for
2015.
The table below presents data on the coverage of Cemig’s Environmental Management System, ensuring 100% coverage of
energy generated, transmitted and distributed to consumers:
As well as the activities
described above, the following corporate support areas are also certified by ISO 14001: Asset and
Industrial Security; and Corporate Education and Knowledge
Management, the scope of which includes the UniverCemig
Campus at the Corporate University in Sete Lagoas City.
Environmental compliance
Cemig continues to work for completion of full environmental
recognition procedures for all the Company’s projects. Some
75.3% of Cemig GT’s projects are duly licensed, and 24.7% are currently in the process of
obtaining their respective
environmental permits. At Cemig D, 71.4% of its projects are licensed, and 28.6% are undergoing the licensing process.
The facilities that are in the licensing process were built prior to the licensing legislation and are therefore in the corrective
licensing process. It should be noted that Cemig promptly fulfilled all legal and regulatory requirements, and is waiting for
these licenses to be issued.
Risks related to the environmental licensing process are
described in the Reference Form:
http://cemig.infoinvest.com.br/ptb/11474/FRE_CemigH_2014_11.11.2014_small.pdf
– and in items 7.5 and 4.12 of Form 20-F:
http://cemig.infoinvest.com.br/enu/11366/20F2013_ing.pdf
Cemig was served
with 29 notices of environmental infringements in 2014. However, these have not resulted in payment of
Certification of the Environmental Management System by the
NBR ISO 14001 is only possible for areas that have an
environmental license. Because many facilities were built before the current environmental legislation,
although they had
good environmental management practices, they were prevented from being certified, and are thus involved in the
corrective licensing process with the environmental agencies. In response, Cemig developed SGA Level 1 as a step
towards ISO 14001 certification. In fact, over time, the facilities that were obtaining environmental permits succeeded,
after the first external audit, in being recommended for certification through ISO 14001, demonstrating the strictness of
the SGA Level 1 practice.

authorities.
Funds
Invested .
In 2014, Cemig invested approximately R$ 52.8 million for environment purposes. The funds were used for waste
management - R$ 1.1 million, R&D projects - R$ 11.7 million and the remaining R$ 40 million was spent on compliance with
environmental conditions, and environmental improvements. The Environmental Adaptation Committee, as mentioned in the
Environmental Strategy section, periodically reviews the prioritization and allocation of these resources.
The environmental investments were subdivided into capital investments, expenses and R&D projects as shown in the
following table:
Materials
Materials from non-renewable sources and greater intensity of use and operational significance consumed by Cemig and the
respective quantities consumed are described in the following table. There was a slight reduction in the Company’s total
consumption of materials. This change is justified by the fact that 2014 was the last year of the Aneel tariff cycle, and that
during the year projects were brought forward due to the Soccer World Cup. Moreover, also in the year responsibility for street
lighting was transferred to the municipalities, following a change in legislation.
Waste
Reverse logistics and final disposal of waste are the responsibility of a certified section in Level 1 of the Environmental
Management System, which receives waste that has been duly identified, separated and packed by the areas that generated
it. From January to December 2014, approximately 52,600 tons of industrial waste was disposed of in an environmentally
appropriate manner: 99.7% was sold, recycled or regenerated and 0.3% co-processed or incinerated.
The disposed waste consists mainly of cables and wires, transformer scrap, scrap metal, scrapped meters, poles, cross-arms,
wood shavings and residue. The sale of 52,300 tons of such waste generated R$ 9 million, an increase of approximately 1%
As of this report, Cemig no longer will inform the environmental investments in new projects, because
IFRS 11 accounting practices have been adopted and that only consolidates information from wholly
owned subsidiaries.

over the previous year’s revenues.
In 2014, R$ 312,000 was spent to dispose of 243 tons of solid waste impregnated with oil, light bulb shards, solvents and
IPEs. This represented a decrease of 33.9% over the previous year, a result of less waste impregnated with oil and broken
bulb debris.
Of total oil waste disposed of, the Company regenerated and reused 114 tons of
insulating oil. This measure, besides offering
environmental benefits such as non-processing of contaminated waste, enabled Cemig to save some R$ 940,000 in oil
acquisition expenditure alone, without taking into account waste disposal costs.
The amount of oil-permeated waste decreased 38.1% from 2013, the result of better control of equipment maintenance
activities, which directly contributed to reducing disposal costs by R$ 48,800.
There were no
significant spills or leakages in 2014.

The increased generation of non-hazardous waste can be explained by
the works on the Distribution Development Program.
In 2014, no waste materials contaminated by PCBs .
were
sent for disposal. Electrical equipment contaminated with PCBs, when taken out of
operation, will be sent for
decontamination, or incinerated through a contract with a company licensed to perform that service, in 2015.
ENERGY
The following table presents Cemig’s energy consumption, by type.
Total energy consumption rose by 270.58%, mainly due to the Igarapé thermoelectric plant’s fuel consumption, because the
facility generated power throughout 2014 – in 2013 it had been in a phase of equipment commissioning. The energy intensity
of the Igarapé plant was 0.06569; that is, 0.06569 MWh was consumed for each MWh of energy generated. There was also a
significant increase in fuel consumption at the Barreiro thermoelectric plant, due to the high level of electricity it generated.
Despite the small increase in electricity consumption in 2014, Cemig’s fuel consumption reduction goal was met, down 5.8%
compared to 2011 – the target base year.
For more information about Cemig’s
Objectives and Targets, please click here.
Fuel consumption was reduced by 14.73%, .
mainly
due to Cemig’s fleet management practices. Since 2010, Cemig’s fleet
replacement program has optimized vehicle
supervision practices. This represented savings of approximately R$ 2.1 million. Fleet optimization in this period was
possible
because all vehicles replaced since 2010 come with an Electronic Management System installed. The tool permitted
continuous monitoring of vehicle operations from 2010 to 2014, leading to a reduction of 584 units.
The table below presents Cemig’s different electricity generation sources, by installed capacity and net capacity. It should be
noted that 97.2% of the power generated comes from sources that do not emit greenhouse gases.

Cemig’s generating capacity is predominantly hydroelectric. In
the last 15 years, 43 projects totaling 1,800 MW were added.
Currently, 79 plants, with 7,330 MW, represent 95.53% of the Company’s installed capacity; they
manage more than 3,500
km² of reservoirs.
Since water is the main raw
material for Cemig’s electricity production – and a resource that is sensitive to changes in
climate, vulnerable to the consequences of exploitation of
other natural resources, seriously impacted by human activities
and subject to the regulatory environment – the Company takes water management and
conservation issues very seriously.
The National Electricity System Operator (ONS) has the responsibility for deciding on dispatching of the hydro and thermal
generation plants connected to Brazil’s national grid. The ONS is a private-law, non-profit, civil association established on
August 26, 1998 by Law No. 9648/98, as amended by Law No. 10848/04 and regulated by Decree No. 5081/04. It is
responsible for coordinating and controlling the operation of the generation and electricity transmission facilities in the Grid,
under the supervision and regulation of the National Electricity Agency, Aneel.
Cemig’s
operation of reservoirs for generation of hydroelectric power essentially requires consideration of the multiple uses
of water by other users in a river basin; and
this in turn, leads to the need to take into account a range of constraints —
environmental, safety, irrigation, human consumption, waterways and bridges,
among others — which Cemig rigorously
respects. In periods of severe drought, as experienced in 2013 and 2014, monitoring and prediction of reservoir levels,
and
constant dialogue with government, civil society and users, have been central to ensuring continuity for both power
generation and also other uses of this vital resource.
Três Marias – Managing
water’s many uses
For example, in the last three rainy seasons rainfall was up to 60% less than expected in the São Francisco River
Basin, where the Três Marias hydro plant is located. Cemig met with many of the basin’s stakeholders to arrange
joint actions to safeguard the multiple uses of the plant’s reservoir. As a result, even with the depletion of the
reservoir, the Três Marias plant was able to contribute to the continuous supply of water to the city of Pirapora, and
also to other users downstream, such as the Jaíba Project, an important agricultural center in the North of Minas
Gerais state. This integrated action involved the following partners: the National Water Agency (ANA), the National
Electricity System Operator (ONS), the São Francisco Valley Development Company (Codevasf), the Pirapora and
Jaíba Project irrigation associations, the Federal and the State Committees for the São Francisco River Basin, and
municipalities located downstream on the São Francisco river and surrounding the Três Marias lake.
With the use of Cemig’s reservoir management measures – such as downstream environmental tests, setting of
new machinery operating levels, simulations of future reservoir storage quantities and water capture point levels – it
was possible to avoid depletion of the reservoir’s stock of water. The plant’s water flow control policies, discussed
and approved by stakeholders during the 2014 dry season, were reviewed during the 2014–2015 wet season, aiming
to replenish the lake and prepare for scarcities in the 2015 dry season.
The following chart
gives data on water storage at Cemig’s main reservoirs on December 1, 2014, compared to the same
period of 2013 – it shows the lower availability of
water in 2014, which led to significant depletion of the storage inventory of
these reservoirs.

Even though its hydroelectric generation process per se does not consume water, Cemig is a major user of this resource and,
therefore, actively participates in joint decision-making bodies and forums, monitoring and proposing decisions for the
electricity sector, and helping reconcile the multiple uses of water in the river basins. It participates in all water resource
forums in its areas, such as the National and State Water Resource Councils, River Basin Committees, Technical Chambers
and Working Groups. With its efforts focused on Minas Gerais, Cemig is a participant in 20 state and five federal River Basin
Committees. It also is a member of the Brazilian Electricity Generation Companies’ Association (Abrage), and in 2014 served
as coordinator of the Water Resources Working Group (GTRH). For more details on Cemig’s participation in institutional
organizations, please click here.
Cemig periodically reviews water management indicators,
which demonstrate the Company is moving toward meeting its
goals and makes it possible to intervene when necessary. Of particular note is the Plant Energy Planning
Efficiency Ratio
(IEPE), which measures the efficiency of the energy operations of Cemig’s hydroelectric plants, comparing actual power
generation with optimum generation levels. It tracks observed flows, maintenance of generating units and the resolution of
operational constraints. This indicator is aligned with the Increase operational efficiency strategic objective in Cemig’s
corporate business strategy map. A higher result means water use planning for power generation is better. In 2014, because
there were practically no leakages in the plants because of the low water flows during the period, the IEPE result exceeded the
target of 91%, reaching 94%.
Non-Compliance with Operating Restrictions - NARO is another
indicator applied, which reflects the number of failures to
comply with operating constraints in the operation of Cemig’s reservoirs: these include
environmental, electrical, generating
unit availability, flood control and minimum level aspects. This indicator is aligned with the corporate map of the
Generation
business in terms of ensuring reliability of operations, and has a direct impact on results, since failure to resolve operational
constraints carries risks to the Company’s image as well as costs associated with any damages to society or regulatory fines.
This dimensionless indicator monitors the type of restriction violated: for example, environmental, flood control, electrical and
those related to the generating units. In 2014, Cemig remained within the stipulated target.
To fully ensure regularity in relation to the various uses of water, grants of generation-related concessions are linked to
technical studies of the project. These take into account the permissible flow, reservoir characteristics and electrical bus
requirements. Cemig manages 220 water resource use processes, which are related to all of the Company’s activities, of
which 39 are processes of registry for minimal use and 181 are grant processes.

Hydrometeorological monitoring
Cemig conducts initiatives enabling accurate management of
potential impacts to its business resulting from water
availability issues. It preventively invests in practices that put it in a more secure situation in relation
to various possible
scenarios. Among the up-to-date techniques and equipment used are the Storm Location System (SLT), the
Hydrometeorological Telemetry and Monitoring System (STH), hydrologic simulation mathematical models, and weather and
climate forecasting tools.
Cemig currently operates a hydrometeorological network of 241
monitoring points, with 95 for measuring rain, 68 for river
flow rates, 37 accompanying reservoir levels, and 41 weather stations that monitor rainfall,
temperature, humidity, wind speed
and direction, solar radiation and atmospheric pressure. These stations are distributed in strategic locations in the states of
Minas Gerais, Goiás and Espírito Santo and the data is received in real time at the Company’s Belo Horizonte headquarters.
The radar equipment acquired by the Company in 2011 as the primary tool for improving the accuracy of its hydrological
forecasts enables higher levels of operational safety at its hydroelectric plants and for the general public. It is also of great
strategic importance to the control and operation of hydroelectric reservoirs. Through early information about the direction
and intensity of rainstorms, it is possible to estimate the amount of water that will reach a reservoir, and thus adjust
operations to minimize the effects of floods on populations and on the plant itself. Further, the Company may issue warnings
to Civil Defense authorities about storms that could have serious consequences for the population, making it possible to take
preventive action. Click here for more details.
Prevention and preparation for emergency
situations
The security of Cemig’s dams is grounded on best Brazilian and international practices at all stages of the process. The
security program involves field procedure inspections, collection and analysis of instrumentation data, planning and
monitoring of maintenance services, analysis of results and classification of structures. Inspection frequency is based on
structure classification. Each dam’s vulnerabilities are continuously and automatically calculated and monitored by the Dam
Control and Safety System (‘Inspector’). Developed through an R&D project, Inspector incorporates deterioration georeferencing
tools, enabling comprehensive analysis of each dam’s behavior.
Both Cemig’s own
professionals and a multidisciplinary team of recognized outside consultants regularly conduct safety
reviews. These reviews go carefully into all matters relating
to the safety of the dams, which are carefully investigated by
highly-qualified specialists.
Cemig is the pioneer in Brazil in the preparation of emergency plans for potential dam burst scenarios. Its studies on the
subject were undertaken in 2003 and specific emergency plans for each dam are currently available. In-company training
drills for these Emergency Action Plans (PAEs) are conducted, testing contact information, communications, resources and
the emergency response decision-making process between the various individuals involved.
Emergency actions external to the Company, focused on evacuation of people from risk areas, are regarded as the
responsibility of the public protection and civil defense authorities. In this case, Cemig’s job is to communicate effectively
with these institutions and provide support within its areas of competence and attributions.
Risk analysis
Based on its Risk Management System, Cemig analyzes scenarios
and determines the degree of financial exposure needed
to support the Company’s strategic decisions and to establish control measures. Currently, the
following risks have been
mapped: silting up and rupture of reservoirs; weather forecasting errors; loss of SHP physical offtake guarantee levels due to

Water quality monitoring
Designed to minimize risks associated with the
quality of reservoir water, and assessing the impact of its activities, Cemig
regularly monitors a network covering Minas Gerais’ major river basins (43
reservoirs) and more than 200 stations collecting
physical, chemical and biological data. All data generated are stored in the Siságua database, part of the
database of the
Minas Water Management Institute (IGAM), with a view to standardizing information and making it available to the public.
Access: http://www2.cemig.com.br/sag/
Results from nine specific parameters are used to
calculate the Water Quality Index (WQI), which indicates the degree of
contamination of water from rivers and reservoirs by organic materials, nutrients and
solids, which are usually indicators of
pollution associated with domestic waste. The table below shows the WQI results in the second half of 2014 for some of
Cemig’s plants:
To classify reservoirs by degrees of water quality
degradation, the Paraná Environmental Institute has developed a Reservoir
Water Quality Index (IQAR). Designed to understand the main trophic, morphometric
and hydrological characteristics of its
reservoirs and their trends over time, Cemig has begun calculation of the IQAR index for the reservoir of the Volta Grande
plant, as a R&D project. The results for the month of July 2014 classified this body of water as ‘little degraded’ – showing low
depletion of dissolved oxygen, high water transparency, low density of cyanobacteria, small amounts of organic and inorganic
nutrients, and low water standing time.

In spite of the increase, the goal of reducing total water consumption was achieved:
consumption in 2014 was 22% below
that of 2011.
For more information about
Cemig’s Objectives and Targets, please click here.
The Company’s thermal plants do not generate effluents because the production processes at the
Barreiro and Ipatinga
thermal plants recirculate used water; and at Igarapé water is returned to the river after use. The water they use is sourced
both from the river surface and also from the public supply.
Effluents
generated in administrative units are disposed of in public sewage systems, or controlled septic tanks, and do not
directly affect waterways. The industrial
activity of power generation activity per se does not consume water, so is not
accounted in the figure for Cemig’s total consumption. In 2014, 400,998 m³
of sanitary effluents were generated.
BIODIVERSITY
With a predominantly
renewable matrix of sources, Cemig and biodiversity are intrinsically interlaced. Its operating area
contains two terrestrial hotspots: . the
Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest; and in terms of aquatic ecosystems, Cemig is responsible for managing more than 3,500
km² of fresh water in its reservoirs.
The Company operates in a number of different
fields of business. For each project, it conducts special studies to evaluate
and establish environmental programs to control, mitigate and compensate negative
impacts, and maximize positive ones –
in a synergy between research, innovation and practical solutions which, coupled with Cemig’s expertise, is able
to add value
to society and to the biomes in which it operates.
The main
environmental impacts of Cemig’s businesses in these environments are on (i) fish communities, which inhabit
waterways in which the Company is operating
projects; and (ii) trees, which interact with transmission and distribution lines.
Cemig’s Biodiversity Policy formalizes the importance of these aspects.
Due to the large number of power plants that Cemig manages, the impacts on fish populations and, consequently, on
economic activity related to fishing where these projects are located, is great, and raises substantial environmental issues.
Cemig thus devotes significant attention and control to those impacts.

Similarly, being Brazil’s largest electricity distributor in total length of lines and networks, Cemig understands how seriously
vegetation can interfere with electricity lines and, thus, prioritizes action to mitigate the risk of power outages through
sustainable vegetation management practices.
Fish Care
The main environmental program linked to the strategic environmental aim Manage impacts on biodiversity, and its
respective guideline Preserve fish populations, the Peixe Vivo (‘Fish Alive’) Program operates on three fronts: fish and
watershed conservation programs, production of scientific knowledge to support these programs, and the promotion of
community involvement in the planned activities.
To measure the impact of its power projects
on fish life, the Company uses an internal indicator that reflects the efficiency of
protective measures for hydroelectric plant maintenance and operation. The
Affected Biomass indicator measures the
amount of fish (in kg) impacted by plant maintenance and operations. Since its implementation in 2007, the actions
developed by the program enabled a 77% reduction in the total Affected Biomass at the facilities, even making it possible to
avoid power generation interruptions or potential fines due to environmental damage. In the years 2008–2014, there was a
single penalty in 2012, amounting to R$ 27,500.55. For more details, please see Form 20-F, page 49.
In 2014, the Affected Biomass indicator was 787 kg, whereas due to these impacts the internal limit inherent to the process is
1,882 kg. This represents a decrease of 66.7% compared to 2013, as illustrated in the chart below.

In addition to encouraging scientific research and knowledge about Brazilian fish life, the Fish Alive Program promotes
biological diversity and seeks to conserve natural environments, important targets established by the National Biodiversity
Policy. The adoption of scientific criteria for decision-making purposes, the establishment of partnerships with other
institutions and modification of practices based on the information gathered are the principles that guide the Fish Alive
program.
Moreover, disclosure of the information is of great importance to society, ensuring
transparency of the program and creating
opportunities for the community to express its concerns and offer suggestions.

In 2014, research by the Fish Alive program was presented at important meetings, including with the Secretary of State for
the Environment and Sustainable Development and other power utilities. In addition, the First Symposium on the Results of
the Fish Alive Program was organized, during which the findings on the risk of fish deaths at Cemig’s plants were presented
to employees, defining best practices to mitigate direct impacts of power plants on fish life. The Program is currently
developing 14 scientific projects in partnership with research institutions, involving more than 200 students and researchers.
These partnerships have resulted in more than 240 technical paper publications to date, and the program has been
referenced nationally and internationally for the fish conservation measures it has put into practice and for the dialogue it has
generated with the community in a number of countries and states. Along with community involvement, this academic
achievement has helped create more efficient conservation programs and practices, leading to coexistence of power projects
and fish in Brazilian rivers. In 2014, it placed among the top 10 for the 12th Benchmarking Brazil Awards in 2014, and, for its
best fish conservation practices, was winner in the Improved Fauna category in the fifth edition of the Hugo Werneck Prize
competition.
A total of R$ 6,052,155 was invested in the Fish Alive Program in 2014, of which
R$ 1,834,969 was earmarked for research
and development projects.

The Cemig Stocking Program includes fish introduction activities at three of its own stations: Volta Grande, Itutinga and
Machado Mineiro, and two partnership stations (Codevasf, Gorutuba, and Três Marias). In 2014, the Company produced
about 661,000 fingerlings, a reduction of approximately 53% compared to 2013, totaling 14 tons. Some 72 fish stocking
operations were conducted in reservoirs and rivers basins where Cemig has projects, with 2,591 people from local
communities in 42 Minas Gerais municipalities participating. The main reason for the reduction in fingerling production was
occurrences of the golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) mollusk .
in the
reservoir of the Volta Grande hydroelectric plant, which made fish stocking there unfeasible.
The golden mussel is a bivalve mollusk originating in Asia. Due to its ability to reproduce and spread quickly, and having
virtually no predators in the Brazilian fauna, these mussels propagate rapidly, and so are considered an invading species.
The following can be mentioned as damage caused by the golden mussel: loss of aquatic vegetation; occupation of space
and competition for food with native mollusks; damage to fish communities, because the decline of the mollusks
decreases the fish food supply; the clogging of water and mains, sewer and irrigation pipes; the clogging of water intake
systems for power generation purposes, leading to frequent interruptions for cleaning and raising the cost of production;
damage to navigation, prejudicing buoys and piers, engine structures and vessels.

The following are the environmental programs implemented and/or supported by the Fish
Alive team.
At the Santo Antônio hydroelectric plant, an important result of the effort to conserve fish populations was the rescue
operations carried out during construction of plant. The technique developed to prevent mass fish deaths on the site made it
possible to rescue and release fish in about 6 minutes, avoiding any environmental damage. In 2014 alone, the following
operations were carried out:
44 rescues of fish in turbines, totaling 9,343 kg.
6 rescues in spillways (Main and Supplementary), totaling 13,006 kg of fish.
2 rescues in the
Fish Transposition System, totaling 202,900 kg removed from the canal and released in the Madeira
River.
Highlights also include publication of the book Fish of the Madeira River, which was the result of work by hundreds of
scientists. It presents some ichthyologic rarities and more than 40 specimens new to scientific investigation. The book is a
contribution to academic and scientific knowledge as well as an inspiration to young scientists.
Because of the concern for fish species at risk that are sold to the aquarium market, in 2014 Norte Energia – which is building
the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant – succeeded in developing a protocol for raising the acari-zebra ornamental fish. The
acari-zebra is on the ICMBio’s list of species banned from collection for commercial use, due to predatory exploitation over

Vegetation management
The Company invests in the professional development of direct and
indirect employees, and development of work methods
and planning and management tools – to improve the interaction of the electricity system with urban and
rural vegetation,
and to help maintain environmental quality in the communities where it operates.
Cemig currently employs outside specialists exclusively dedicated to planning and executing the pruning process. The results
achieved have been a lower number of power outages caused by trees, and less need for future intensive pruning.
This table shows the reduction of power outages caused by trees:
This indicator declined
further in 2014, confirming the effectiveness of the procedures in place and reflecting Cemig’s efforts
toward preventive maintenance and improvements in
distribution networks to guard against environmental threats, including
adverse weather such as severe winds and storms that could knock down trees. This reduction
also saves the Company
expenses on financial compensation to consumers for shortfalls from not complying with supply continuity levels (DIC, FIC,
DMIC and DICRI), which can be due to falling trees. Also contributing to the improved results were innumerable actions under
the Trees and Networks Management Program (“Premiar”), established in March 2009.
Cemig continued to partner with the city of Belo Horizonte to take inventory of the city’s urban trees, aiming to develop a
planning and maintenance tool for public trees that meets the needs of both institutions. The goal is to complete the
inventory and deploy it as a routine planning tool, creating a work schedule by 2015. Some 246,529 trees were surveyed in
2014, and another 200,000 remaining for completion of the project.
The inventory work consists
of describing the physical state of every tree in the city located on public streets or fronting
urban real estate, involving 57 attributes, which are posted to a
geo-referenced database – making it possible to record the
number, type, location and heath of each one of the city’s trees. And the project creates a
planning tool for control of the
maintenance of the trees, optimizing the available budget. In the year, 242 trees were planted and 58 trees considered unsafe
were removed.

As a forum for discussing best tress care practices, and enhancing the work of professionals involved in urban planning,
distribution of electric energy and forestation measures, Cemig organizes the Urban Forestry Circuit, an event that visits
various cities in Minas Gerais. Four events were held in 2014 – in Araxá, Diamantina, Viçosa and Belo Horizonte – the latter
with decisive participation by the Regional Engineering and Agronomy Council of (CREA/MG). About 500 people attended the
meetings, from the scientific community, local governments, non-governmental organizations and other interested
stakeholders, and a wide range of subjects were addressed, including planning and maintenance of urban forests, tree risk
assessment and professional tree care practice. Another event in Belo Horizonte was a seminar, Urban Forestry in BH –
Public Health, Quality of the Environment and of Life, which dealt with the role of various actors in the planning process,
especially the contributions from the municipal legislature.
Assessment of trees at risk is
also the subject of a Research and Development Project currently in progress: creation of a
Mobile Laboratory equipped with tree analysis instrumentation. This
would evaluate tress consistently and comprehensively,

and thus minimize risks in rainy periods – and disseminate knowledge to the appropriate organizations on the importance of
monitoring these situations throughout the year.
In 2014 an R&D project
on development of Integrated Vegetation Management methodology for transmission line pathways
was completed, indicated a significant reduction of costs of up to
40% from introducing of a new method of vegetation
control. The approach involves replanting with natural but slow-growing species, which also deter return of the
taller species,
to reduce the cost of control – requiring fewer man-hours, and removal only occasional examples of species not covered in
the original plan. Cemig plans to see this method applied as standard 2015.

A total of 13,515 tree seedlings were distributed in 2014 for urban use to 24
municipalities, donated by the Itutinga Forest
Nursery. There were 33 requests for seedlings, of which 28 were fulfilled the same year. As well as producing urban
tree
seedlings for municipal government forest nursery service agreements, Cemig also produces native species seedlings for
riparian forest replanting along the banks of its reservoirs, tributaries and springs, in partnership with local farmers.
For recovery of riparian forests around its reservoirs, Cemig produces and donates native species tree seedlings to farmers,
non-governmental organizations, municipalities, schools, research institutions and companies operating in rural areas. Fortytwo
municipalities were benefited in Minas Gerais, involving 13 Cemig hydroelectric plants, in 2014, and reforestation was
begun of a 40 ha area on the banks of the São Simão hydroelectric plant reservoir – in partnership with local landowners,
meeting the target of 40 ha/year set for this reservoir. Cemig is also reforesting 38 hectares on the banks of the Rosal
hydroelectric plant reservoir. After planting, reforestation areas are monitored and undergo maintenance for two years. To

CLIMATE CHANGE
Cemig’s climate change practices are in line with its business strategy,
formalized since 2012 through a commitment entitled
‘10 Climate Initiatives’ defining the Company’s lines of action. The involvement of senior
management and discussion of the
most significant issues makes these practices especially effective. This commitment can be seen in Cemig’s establishment
of voluntary targets for reducing emissions, power consumption and energy losses — even though the Company has low
GHG emissions.
Within this corporate vision, Cemig pays special attention to the development
and consolidation of a predominantly
renewable energy matrix. The increased stake in Renova Energia (currently the owner of the largest wind power complex in
Latin America), and development of new technologies (especially solar power generation), have led to increase of clean
energy sources into the Company’s matrix and diversification of its businesses, directed to a low-carbon economy. For more
information on Cemig’s objectives and goals click here.
Cemig identifies potential risks
and opportunities and seeks solutions to adapt to and mitigate possible effects that may
impact its businesses. It therefore invests in practices that lead to
greater safety regarding the multiple scenarios of probable
risks related to climate change. For minimizing the physical climate change risks, the Company uses
modern techniques and
equipment. These include Weather Radar, Storm Location (SLT), and Telemetry and Hydrometeorological Monitoring (STH)
systems, as well as several mathematical models for hydrological simulation, weather and climate forecasting. More
information can be found in the Cemig’s report under the CDP.

When considering acquisition of new assets, Cemig takes account of regulatory risks related to climate change, conducting
due diligence evaluation of carbon risk to assess the possible financial impacts of increased GHG emissions, due to the
possibility of having to cover the cost of emissions due to new regulations.
Cemig takes
account of climate change factors in managing its value chain, working in partnership with its suppliers, who are
its stakeholders. One of the initiatives being
developed over the last two years is participation in the Value Chain Carbon
Management Program, being developed and coordinated by the Brazilian Business Council
for Sustainable Development
(CEBDS) in partnership with consultants KPMG international and other large Brazilian companies. In 2012–2014, this
program has raised suppliers’ awareness about climate change and given them the tools and knowledge to conduct their
own greenhouse gas emission inventories based on the GHG Protocol tool. For more information visit:
http://www.cemig.com.br/enus/
Company_and_Future/Sustainability/Programs/climate_changes/Documents/CEBDS%20Gestao%20de%20Carbono_ING%202014.PDF
A new phase of the CEBDS program, in partnership with Schneider Electric, will review and advise suppliers how to identify
GHG reduction opportunities in their production processes, helping generate cost reductions.
At the other end of the value chain, Cemig also offers initiatives to electricity consumers. The Smart Energy Program aims to
promote energy efficiency in low-income communities, non-profit institutions and public facilities that are consumers of
Cemig’s supply. And Cemig also has a wholly-owned subsidiary operating in energy efficiency, Efficientia, which since 2002
has been planning and installing energy efficiency projects in companies’ facilities – mainly Cemig industrial clients.

CDP Climate Change
Cemig has responded to the CDP questionnaire since 2007. The resulting
report is a rigorous survey of risks and
opportunities for the Company’s business arising from climate change, and its own monitoring and control
measures. Cemig sees the CDP as a management tool, in a context of increasing production of information and
consistent carbon management initiatives.
In 2014 the CDP recognized Cemig as the leading
company in Brazil in terms of excellence in transparency of
information and business strategy in relation to climate change. It conducts its questionnaire every
year. In 2014,
when 52 large Brazilian companies answered the questionnaire, Cemig obtained the highest score in transparency –
with 98 out of a total of 100 points.
This was the third consecutive year that Cemig has been
recognized by the organization, and the first in which it
obtained the top score in the category. The assessment takes into account the level of detail and the
quality of
responses, based on a set of criteria such as management of risks and opportunities, measurement results, and
emissions management, as well as the Company’s overall climate change strategy.

EMISSIONS
In 2014, Cemig’s direct emissions
totaled 617,717 tCO2e – and were 4.8% of the Company’s total calculation of Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) emissions. Scope 1 emissions were higher than in 2013
because the amount of time the Igarapé thermoelectric
plant operated was significantly greater in 2014. Igarapé has installed capacity of 131 MW, and
operates when required by
the Brazilian Grid. In 2014, it operated for 6,541 hours – compared to 1,653 hours in 2013. This resulted in Igarapé’s
CO2
emissions being 577,922 tCO2e in 2014 – compared to 130,985 tCO2e in 2013. The resulting final intensity of Cemig’s direct
emissions in 2014 was 0.023467 tCO2e/MWh, well below the emission factor for the whole grid, of 0.1355 tCO2e/MWh.
It should be noted that the dispatching decisions in Brazil are taken by the National Electricity System Operator (ONS), weekly,
based on current and past volumes of hydroelectric and thermal generation, and after analyzing forecasts of future supply
flows, expected growth in electricity consumption, and data on the pace of growth in supply (new plants and expansion).
When hydrology is favorable and reservoir water storage levels are high, dispatching of thermal power plants is minimized,
and hydroelectric generation is prioritized. When hydrology is unfavorable and storage levels are low, or, also, to increase
security that there will be supply for the market, or if, for example, there is uncertainty about generation expansion programs,
the ONS will tend to increase thermal generation. Hydroelectric generation can be reduced to raise levels of water storage in
the flow-regulating reservoir system.
This list shows Cemig’s Scope 1 greenhouse gas
emission sources:
At Cemig’s Scope 2, indirect emissions in 2014 were measured as 858,014 tCO2e, which represents 6.7% of the Company’s
total emissions. Of this total, 99.19% is attributed to energy losses in power transmission and distribution systems. Note that
Scope 2 is strongly influenced by the emission factor attributed to the national grid, which was 41.08% higher in 2014, at
0.1355 tCO2e/MWh, compared to 0.0960 tCO2e/MWh in 2013.
This list shows Cemig’s Scope 2
greenhouse gas emission sources:
Cemig’s largest sources of emissions are principally in Scope 3: emissions that derive from the Company’s activities but
occur in sources that it neither owns nor controls. The main source of emissions calculated in Scope 3 is electricity
consumption by Cemig’s end consumers. In 2014, the Company recorded a 5% increase in total sales, which generated a
48.15% increase in indirect emissions over 2013 – again highlighting the increase in the national grid’s emission factor, used
for the calculation of emissions.

The emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) .
come from the combustion of fuels by thermoelectric power plants and vehicles. The 228% increase in SO2 emissions, and
the 31% increase in NOx emissions, from 2013, was mainly due to the high level of operation of the Igarapé thermal plant: it
was dispatched during the entire year of 2014.

Our work was conducted using Bureau
Veritas’ internai protocol for the lndependent Assurance of Sustainability Reports, based on current best practiceand included the following activities:
1.
lnterviews with the personnel responsible for material issues and Report content;
2. Analysis of documentary evidence provided by Cemig in relation to the
reporting period (2014);
3. Desk review of Cemig’s stakeholder engagement activities and response to
stakeholders through the reporting process;
4. Evaluation of the method used to define
material issues and aspects included in the Report, taking into account the sustainability context and the scope of CEMIG’s activities;
s. The following
facilitieswere visited:Head Office in Belo Horizonte (MG); Logistic and

The process was designed to provide a high levei of assurance concerning the nature and extent of Cemig’s adherence to the AA1000 AS accountability principies, and a high
levei of assurance concerning the reliability of specified performance information within the report, providing a sound basis for our conclusions.
TECHNICAL REPORT
a- CEMIG sets out a documented method for the analysis of Materiality and the establishment of the material issues for inclusion in the Report. We evidenced the
application of this method in 2014, which encompassed an extensive global analysis of sustainability trends, and consults with internai functions of CEMIG, responsible for engagement with stakeholders (including local governments) identified for the
Materiality analysis. Communication records between internai and externai stakeholders relating to the materiality assessment were also reviewed. We considered the method used by CEMIG and its results to be appropriate;
a- CEMIG continued to publish its short and medium term Objectives and Targets, in line with the strategy of the company, accounting for the company’s performance in 2014;
a- CEMIG resubmitted its lnventory of Greenhouse Gas emissions for independent externai certification in compliance with the NBR ISO 14064 standard. The data used
to compile the EN3, EN4, EN16, EN17 and EN19 GRI indicators were derived from this inventory;
a- Concerning the recovery of riparian woodlands, CEMIG explains that
the company donates saplings of native species, but it monitors only the projects for the recovery of the margins of the reservoirs that are under the company’s responsibility;
a- lt is positive that CEMIG reports upon measurement and monitoring systems adopted for business contingency planning, as well as the management plan and training programs for
disasters/emergencies (EU21 indicator);
270
Table of Contents
,.. Regarding the lndex of Satisfaction with the Quality Perceived (ISQP) information was evidenced regarding the actions taken by the
company to improve its performance with clients, which are followed up and validated by the CEMIG Clients Committee;
,.. CEMIG continued to publish information
about projects, programs and actions of companies in which it has an interest. Such information was gathered from queries raised concerning material issues associated with the companies in question;
,.. lnformation on human rights management in the supply chain of the Distribution Business was evidenced, related mainly to criteria of registration, selection and contracting of
suppliers. However, there was limited information on the systematic monitoring of human rights, social, environmental and labor practices concerning CEMIG’s suppliers;
,.. Significant improvements in the methodology for collecting quantitative data for the Report was seen, as well as training for the employees engaged for this purpose
(Respondents) across the identified 11 material issues. During field visits more precise data consolidation and a better understanding of the information was also evidenced;
,.. CEMIG sets out a new communication flow regarding environmental fines and non- monetary sanctions and the data and information obtained to comply with indicator EN28 was deemed
to be reliable;
.a. The channels for grievances used by CEMIG do not fully meet the criteria set out in GRI
key performance indicator for environmental and social grievances (EN34, 5011);
.a. During the
course of the assurance, inconsistencies identified in the Report regarding one or more principies of the GRIG4 were satisfactorily revised;
,.. lt was noted that
recommendations made in the assurance Statement for the previous reporting period were addressed by CEMIG in this reporting cycle, with the exception of one. For continuity, that recommendation is maintained below, alongside new recommendations from
this assurance cycle.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE NEXT CYCLE CEMIG should:
,._
lmprove its management of human rights, labor practices, environmental and social responsibility in its supply chain, establishing a monitoring system for the requirements
it sets out in contracts and procedures applicable to suppliers;
... lmprove the system for
collecting and consolidating information concerning the SOB indicator (fines and non monetary sanctions for non compliance with laws and regulations), given that there was no evidence of centralized management of this issue, making difficult the
collection of associated data (recommendation from previous cycle, updated);
... lmprove the management of environmental and social grievances, with the
standardization of the reporting channels used, enabling grievance follow up, concerning it’s classification, quantification, handling and solution.
CONCLUSION
As per the scope of the assurance, the information and data
presented in the Report were deemed to be accurate, free from significant error or misrepresentation, accessible and understandable to stakeholders.
