In a year characterized by the real risk of suffering 

electricity rationing in Chile’s central zone, Enersis and 

its subsidiaries Endesa Chile and Chilectra took the 

actions necessary for mitigating this risk and working 

in cooperation with the authority with the objective of 

seeking and designing suitable solutions for managing 

this delicate situation.

We thus confirmed the position of leadership and 

commitment that we have in the region, and especially 

with Chile, ratifying our belief in alternatives that 

contribute to guaranteeing electricity supplies in the 

five countries where we operate (Argentina, Brazil, 

Chile, Colombia and Peru).

We have the financial strength and necessary assets 

for assuming this responsibility and continuing forward 

as the leading electricity company in Latin America.

Other Businesses

On June 19, 1981, Compañía Chilena de Electricidad S.A. 

formed a new corporate structure which gave birth to 

a parent company and three subsidiaries.  One of these 

was Compañía Chilena Metropolitana de Distribucion 

Electrica S.A.  In 1985, under the privatization policy 

of the Chilean government, the process of transferring 

the share capital of Compañía Chilena Metropolitana 

de Distribucion Electrica S.A. to the private sector 

was begun, ending finally on August 10, 1987. In this 

process, the pension fund managers (AFPs), company 

employees, institutional investors and thousands of small 

shareholders joined the corporation Its organizational 

structure was based on activities or operating functions 

whose results were evaluated functionally and its 

profitability was limited by a tariff structure as a result 

of the company’s exclusive dedication to the business 

of electricity distribution.               

In 1987, the company’s board proposed forming a 

division for each of the parent company’s activities. 

Four subsidiaries were therefore created to manage 

themselves as business units each with its own objects, 

thus expanding the company’s activities toward other 

non-regulated activities but linked to the main business. 

This division was approved by the extraordinar y 

shareholders meeting of November 25, 1987 which
