Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz
 PROFILE
Companhia Paulista de Forca e Luz - CPFL was one of the first Sao Paolo power companies to turn on to privatization. The company generates electricity for one-fifth of the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, providing service to more than 2.6 million customers. Industrial customers comprise 41% of sales. The company's territory includes more than 230 municipalities that pull electricity from CPFL'S 20 power plants -- 19 hydroelectric and one thermoelectric. In a consortium with Electricidade de Portugal (EDP), it owns a part of neighboring utility Empresa Bandeirante de Energia; EDP and CPFL have decided to split the company and each take half. Serra da Mesa Energia, which is owned by VBC Energia, owns about 35% of CPFL.
