**EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE FIFTY-FOURTH MEETING OF THE FISCAL COUNCIL OF CENTRAL ELÉTRICAS BRASILEIRAS S.A. – ELETROBRAS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **DATE, TIME AND PLACE**: Ordinary meeting held on 02.15.2023, exclusively remotely through the digital platform Webex Meetings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **CALL:** Performed by email on 02.08.2023. The documents for this meeting available on that date were inserted in the Atlas Governance Portal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **ATTENDANCE:** Chairman ANTÔNIO EMILIO BASTOS DE AGUIAR FREIRE and Councilors CARLOS EDUARDO TEIXEIRA TAVEIROS, INGRID PALMA ARAÚJO, RAFAEL REZENDE BRIGOLINI and RICARDO TAKEMITSU SIMABUKU participated. The quorum, therefore, was 100%. Ms. Marcella Fuchs Salomão was designated as the secretary of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **AGENDA: 4.9 Governance Secretary.** The article was presented by the secretary of the meeting, Marcella Fuchs Salomão.

As instructed at the January 2023 ordinary meeting, it was imperative that the Bylaws of the Fiscal Council be updated in order to be in line with the recent changes that occurred at Eletrobras. In this sense, the proposal to amend the aforementioned regulations to include the effects of the Company's privatization process was again made available for analysis, ceasing to be a mixed-capital company to become a corporation, the consequent change in the governing law*,* and the various statutory reforms subsequent to the approval of the last version in 2019. In addition, specific redactional adjustments were made and due to changes brought about by the pandemic, such as the issue of standardization of virtual meetings and digital documents. The updated Bylaws were approved by all, without reservations, and are attached to these minutes.

The other matters taken at this meeting were omitted in this certificate, as they relate to interests merely internal to the Company, legitimate caution, supported by the duty of secrecy of the Management, according to the "caput" of Article 155 of Law No. 6.404 (Brazilian Corporation Law), being, therefore, outside the scope of the rule contained in paragraph 1 of article 142 of the aforementioned Law.

Rio de Janeiro, February 17, 2023.
