Dear Sir,

1. In reference to the letter filed with the CVM on March 7, 2018, through which was submitted an appeal against the decision of this technical department, as stated in Official Letter 41/2018/CVM/SRE/GER-1, in connection with the request for registering the public tender offer for control of CPFL Energias Renováveis S.A.

2. Said letter requested that “(...) this appeal results in a suspensive effect, in view of the potential losses arising from the fulfillment of the original decision of the Company Relations Superintendence (SRE) (...)”.

3. In view of the arguments presented, we inform that the period for complying with Official Letter 41/2018/CVM/SRE/GER-1 and, consequently, with Official Letters 43/2018/CVM/SRE/GER-1 and 44/2018/CVM/SRE/GER-1 (which reiterate the requirements in connection with the analysis of the request for registration of the public tender offer), is suspended as from said date (March 7, 2018), and will take effect once again, if applicable, after a consideration of the merits of this appeal by the Board of Commissioners of the CVM.

4. If you require any additional clarifications, please contact Mr. Diogo Luís Garcia at the telephone +55 (21) 3554-8500.
