PUBLIC COMPANY

Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A ("Company" or "Eletrobras") (B3: ELET3, ELET5 & ELET6; NYSE: EBR & EBR. B; LATIBEX: XELT. The & XELT. B) presents the following clarifications in attention to Official Letter No. 233/2023/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM"), attached to this market announcement, in which the technical area of CVM reports to the news published on July 12, 2023 in the electronic media Broadcast, News section, under the title: "President of Eletrobras: Only in transmission can we add R$ 1.1 billion in revenues" ("News").

The news about the aggregation of annual revenue allowed in transmission ("RAP") is not new information or guidance since it is already duly disclosed, through the appropriate channels, and refers to projects and reinforcements and major improvements already contracted and, therefore, from a regulatory point of view, authorized with the respective RAPs.

As stated in the Company's results presentation for 1Q23, and also in the annex - Information Operational Data of the 1Q23 earnings release, all duly filed with the CVM, Eletrobras has 169 large projects in the implementation of reinforcements and improvements, already authorized by ANEEL, which correspond to an already confirmed revenue of R$ 840 million.

In addition, Eletrobras also has projects under construction and to be built, within its pipeline, which will provide an increase in RAP. These projects have associated revenues already public. This is the case, for example, of the recent Transmission Auction 01/2023, which Eletrobras was the winner of lot 4, which has an associated revenue of about R$ 68.7 million, as stated in its published notice. In addition, Eletrobras also held a videoconference on June 30, 2023, informing the result of the Auction, and the aforementioned presentation is also filed with the CVM.

Therefore, the information of addition of R$ 1.1 billion of transmission revenue is related to the above projects, already authorized by Aneel and duly published, not being new information or guidance.

The Company reinforces that it does not disclose projections or guidance, and that, therefore, any numerical references do not have such a purpose, not should they be assumed as such.
