2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

Carta del Presidente

Dear shareholders, 

Once more I direct myself to you to offer an 
assessment of our main accomplishments 
with the objective of delivering quality electric 
services, safely and at competitive prices in the 
five countries of which the Group operates in 
South America. In 2012, we exceeded more than 
15,000 MW in installed capacity and 14 million 
clients, being the main private electric company 
in the Southern Cone. Our strategy seeks to 
make each operation profitable, maintain a solid 
financial position, add value to the investments 
of our shareholders, and deepen our integration 
in the communities we are present in.

The year 2012 was marked by external events that 
influenced our performance, to greater and lesser 
extent, such as the drought that has afflicted the 
center and southern parts of Chile for the past 
three years, regulatory changes, and the events 
that have taken place in the European Economies. 
In this context, and before venturing into the 
regional analysis of the results corresponding 
to this period, I would like to highlight a matter 
that is shaping the future of Enersis: the capital 
increase proposed by our controlling shareholder, 
Endesa (Spain) that was released to the market on 
July 25th of this past year. 

When this annual report becomes public, the 
operation will be in its final stages. The period of 
preemptive rights in the local market and in the 
United States will be closed. It is also to be noted 
that by this time we will have already announced 
to the market the fulfillment of the condition 
precedent to which the increase in capital was 
tied to, declaring it a success. 

Throughout this annual report, esteemed 
shareholder, there are several chapters that address 
the capital increase proposal. We even present a 
review dedicated in its entirety to this transaction, 
describing the transaction in fine detail from a legal 

4     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

and financial standpoint. For more information, 
you can access a complete report in our website 
(www.enersis.cl) or in the company’s offices. Taking 
this into consideration, in the following exposition 
I will only explore the key aspects for the future of 
the company, after the operation was approved by 
a vast majority in the Extraordinary Shareholder 
Meeting that took place on December 20th of 2012. 

Capital increase

 Endesa (Spain) proposed the capital increase 
in Enersis, which it would subscribe, in the 
proportion of its current shares, paying said 
subscription through the transfer to Enersis of 
the entirety of the shares it possesses in different 
companies it operates in the electricity industry 
of South America. Said shares have been grouped 
into a new company, named Cono Sur, whose only 
assets are these shares; while the rest of Enersis 
shareholders could subscribe to their proportional 
part of the increase in capital in the form of cash.  

2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

Within this framework, the Board strove to 
create a project that would achieve, on the basis of 
Endesa’s (Spain) proposal, the greatest benefit to 
all of its shareholders, under market parameters 
and conditions that were beneficial for the future 
of Enersis. This was not exempt of discrepancies 
within the Board, a normal situation – which 
was resolved – and that ultimately enriched the 
process to reach, as I mentioned, an operation that 
would benefit every shareholder of the company. 

Enersis’ Board is convinced that using Enersis is 
the best choice for growth, as it has an attractive 
asset base at a regional level, unrepeatable and 
diversified, with a privileged organizational 
structure. 

Additionally, the increase of Enersis’ capital is of 
great significance for the market and the interests 
of Chile, which, apart from being the largest 
capital increase to take place in our country, it also 
places our nation in a relevant position to serve as 
a center of operations for the development of new 
investments in South America. 

The objectives of the capital increase proposed 
by Endesa (Spain) are fundamentally two: unify 
in Enersis all the shares of Endesa (Spain) in 
South America, excluding Enel Green Power, 
subsidiary dedicated to the development of 
renewable energy; and secondly, equip Enersis 
with the necessary resources to carry through a 
significant growth and expansion plan. 

The independent evaluators, the Directors 
Committee, and the Board agreed in that by 
completing certain conditions, the capital increase 
is positive from a strategic point of view and also 
contributes to the social interest of Enersis.

The project in itself represents a great 
opportunity, not only to incorporate valuable 
assets, but also to grow healthily within the 
region, without increasing debt and maintaining 
Enersis’ financial strength. 

In conclusion, the operation that was passed on 
December 20th by a wide margin of shareholders, 
brings assets to Enersis that the company, in its 
majority, already manages; it ensures the control 
of the Colombian firms Emgesa and Codensa, and 
makes Enersis the only vehicle of expansion for 
Endesa (Spain) and Enel in South America. 

With this operation, the company will receive 
benefits by increasing its subsidiaries’ input 
towards Enersis, simplifying the organizational 
structure, and could reduce the holding 
discount effect. 

The addition of Eepsa, for example, implies an 
increase in presence in the generation sector in 
Peru, through a high quality asset that presents 
attractive growth opportunities. Said society is 
currently building a power plant with a capacity 
of 200 MW, launching its operations during 2013. 

If we compare the amount contributed with 
the net result after taxes that the new shares of 
Enersis would provide, this would have a positive 
effect on Enersis’ current shareholders in terms of 
each share’s profit for this year and those to come. 

Additionally, and to give the proposal more 
soundness, the Board requested that Enel and 
Endesa (Spain) complete a series of commitments, 
which were accepted and ratified by the 
controlling shareholders at the Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting on December 20th. These 
commitments are as follow: have representatives 
and a guarantee for all the added societies that 
are currently not included under Enersis, being 
Eepsa, Yacylec, and Central Dock Sud; with the 
expressed condition that Enersis will be the sole 
vehicle of investment of Enel Group in South 
America, with the exception of Enel Green Power; 
the commitment to protect Enersis, in a time 
frame of five years, regarding tax contingencies 
derived from the structure of the operation, and 
maintaining the commitment to not promote, 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  5

2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

within a period of two years, an excessive 
distribution of dividends as a result of the capital 
increase underway. 

On December 20th the Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting approved, with a majority 
of nearly 86% of the shareholders with the right 
to vote attending the assembly, the equivalent 
of 81.94% of all shares, the capital increase 
proposal, which can be synthesized as follows:

•	 A	maximum	of	16,441,606,297	shares	will	be	

issued.

•	 The	price	per	share	will	be	$173.
•	 Endesa	(Spain)	will	endorse	a	split	in	its	
shares at a total of 9,967,639,058 shares 
(paying said endorsement through the 
transfer of its shareholdings in thirteen 
companies grouped in Cono Sur).
•	 Minority	shareholders	will	be	able	to	

subscribe a total of 6,473,976,239 shares. 

The money provided by minority shareholders 
separate from their respective shares, 
complemented by the contribution made by 
Endesa (Spain), will be used for the company’s 
growth, for the purchase of minority interests 
and for the acquisition (M&A) of new firms in 
the region. Each minority interest purchase 
operation and M&A will be previously approved, 
on an individual basis, by Enersis’ Board in the 
time and way they are presented, being analyzed 
by the company’s administration, a task of 
which the managerial team at Enersis is already 
performing under the Board’s instruction.

Enersis will be the main private investor in the 
electricity market in the region, having its base in 
Chile. We will be able to launch a new expansion 
process without having to acquire greater debt 
and with sufficient resources to increase our 
presence in the markets in which we operate. 

Enersis will be larger, more robust, and will have 
the muscle to allow it to continue to lead the 
energy industry in South America. 

Growth Prospects

The new expansion process we are launching 
in the main countries in which we operate, are 
based on the current positive macroeconomic 
prospects for the region. Despite a complex global 
setting, South America continues to offer solid 
foundations and growth prospects. 

In 2013, we are expecting a GDP growth of 
approximately 4.3% in the five countries in which 
we are present, far above the 1.9% forecast for 
North America and the 0.1% in Western Europe. 
For the 2013-2017 quinquennium regional 
economic growth will be on average (CARG) 
4.2%, while electricity demand will grow 4.8% on 
average (CARG). 

South America stands favorably in terms of 
growth potential, due to its demographic and 
macroeconomic factors, in comparison to other 
regions in which Enel currently operates, Enel 
being one of the more important utilities at a 
global level. Present in forty countries, Enel 
generates, distributes and commercializes 
energy to over 60 million customers, while 
respecting communities and the environment. 

In this context of growth and with the support 
provided by a world-class energy group such 
as Enel, we have the certainty and tranquility 
that we have the necessary tools to confront 
the day-to-day challenges posed by the regional 
electricity sector and society in general. 

Results 2012

During 2012, a large increase in electricity demand 
was confirmed in the markets in which we operate, 
especially in: Peru, Chile, and Brazil, exhibiting 
increases of 5.9%, 5.2%, and 4.5%, respectively. 
Our client base in the distribution sector rose by 
approximately 360 thousand, which ratified the 
natural growth in this segment, an important 
factor of stability within this line of business. 

6     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

On December 31st the number of customers 
in the distribution sector reached 14 million, 
representing a rise of 2.6% with respect to the 
13.66 million at December, 2011. 

Installed capacity went from 11,832 MW in 2011 to 
15,173 MW, a 2.3%increase. The observed growth 
during that period came from the startup of 
commercial operation of the power plant Bocamina 
II (350 MW) in Chile towards the end of October. 

Revenue amounted to $6,577,667 million, which 
represented a rise of 0.7%, equivalent to $42,787 
million. This slight increase offset a portion of 
the 5.1% rise in the cost of supplies and services, 
which reached a total of $3,717,125 million.

The EBITDA exceeded, for its fourth consecutive 
year, the US$4,000 million bar, by reaching 
$1,982,924 million (about US$4,075 million), 
confirming an effective strategy and balanced 
portfolio of assets that the company owns in 
the business of generation, transmission, and 
distribution of electricity. 

Thanks to a diversified presence in South 
America, the Group maintained the contribution 
to EBITDA balanced by its type of business: 
generation and transmission with a 52% and 
distribution with 48%. 

The operating result (EBIT) went from $1,566,311 
million to $1,496,965 million, a decrease of 
$69,346 million, or the equivalent to 4.4%. 

The net benefit attributable to the dominating 
company equaled $377,351 million, a figure 
that represented a 0.5% rise with respect to the 
$375,471 million from 2011. The Group’s result 
after taxes from reached $893,562 million, 2.4% 
greater than the $872,540 million from the 
previous year. 

From a financial viewpoint, during this period, 
Moody’s ratified the corporate listing at Baa2 
with stable prospects, Standard & Poor’s, on 
their part, confirmed the rating of international 

credit risk as BBB+ with stable prospects, and 
Humphrey’s awarded the grade of AA to local 
bonds, AA level 1 to the commercial paper 
program and 1° class level 1 to the company’s 
shares. On January 15th of 2013, Feller Rate 
confirmed the current local mark at AA for the 
bonds, shares, and commercial papers, ratifying 
stable prospects.

Projects

With the objective of confronting the energy 
needs in the countries in which we operate, in 
keeping our leading position, and adding value 
to the investments of our shareholders, the 
Group possesses 11,400 MW of new capacity in 
different evaluation stages, as well as 545 MW 
under construction. These will begin operations 
between 2014 and 2015.  

During 2012, we took relevant steps towards 
the construction of the hydroelectric power 
plant El Quimbo (400 MW), in Colombia. We 
concluded the construction of a deviation 
tunnel, the evacuation for the same facility, and 
the cofferdam. In terms of the fulfillment of 
responsibilities derived from the environmental 
license, we have advanced in the development 
of the Social Environmental Management 
Plan, carrying out, among other means, the 
preparation of collective resettlement, the 
realization of four individual relocations, and 
compensating 118 families with ownership of 
land within an area of less than five hectares. 

Another project under construction is the 
Salaco chain, also located in Colombia. Through 
this initiative the smaller plants San Antonio, 
Limonar, and La Tinta-La Junca will be 
modernized, which for Emgesa implies a growth 
in installed capacity of an additional 144.8 MW, 
as well as an average energy increase of 482 Gwh. 

Another relevant milestone was reached by 
our subsidiary Edegel, which obtained the 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  7

2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

environmental approval for the hydroelectric 
plant in Curicamba in Peru. The plant will be 
located in the basin of the Tulumayo river, in the 
province of Jauja, located in the Region of Junín 
(about 360 kilometers from Lima), and will have 
an installed capacity of 188 MW. 

The main objective will be to take full advantage 
of the hydroelectric potential from the Comas 
and Uchubamba rivers, found in the Tulumayo 
river basin. The plant will have a designed 
maximum flow volume of 86 m3/s, a gross drop 
height of 259 meters, and an average generation 
of 1,010 Gwh/year. 

In Chile, in December, after the refusal of the 
Environmental Evaluation Commission(CEA) 
in the Atacama Region in June of 2012, 
the Committee of Ministers approved the 
Environmental Impact Assessment of the 
thermoelectric project Punta Alcalde (740 
MW), accepting an appeal placed by Endesa 
Chile that claimed that the decision made by the 
CEA in Atacama was based on non-technical 
parameters and did not take into account all the 
records presented by the company during the 
evaluation process, which took place for over a 
period of three years.  

The Punta Alcalde project, which will be located 
thirteen kilometers from the city of Huasco, 
will adopt the highest standards in technology, 
efficiency, and environmental commitment, 
heeding to international levels of emissions and 
operations. The initiative will be one of the most 
efficient electricity plants in Chile and South 
America. 

As part of the additional commitments 
acquired by Endesa Chile while processing the 
environmental standards for the project, an 
agreement was reached with the Compania 
de Aceros del Pacifico, CAP, to install an 
electrostatic precipitator in the chimney of the 
Pellets plant that CMP, a subsidiary of CAP, has 
in Huasco, and that will be financed by both 
parties. This ensures the complete reduction of 

the equivalent emissions of the project in Punta 
Alcalde and generates a greater effect on the 
improvement of air quality in the Huasco area. 

In this same plant, the company voluntarily 
assumed the responsibility to establish the 
maximum level of MP emissions at 27 mg/Nm3, 
or in other words, 10% below what is normally 
required by the emissions standard. Moreover, 
the coal field will be completely isolated by 
domes, eliminating any fugitive particles that 
could be carried by wind. 

Regarding the HidroAysen project, we maintain 
the firm conviction that this initiative must 
be understood as an essential project for the 
country, and that Chile cannot afford to waste 
a priori a resource such as water, that is clean, 
available in nature, renewable, and offering low 
cost operations.  

In April of 2012, the Supreme Court ruled in 
favor of HidroAysen, rejecting the appeals 
presented. Said actions had already been 
reviewed by the Court of Appeals of Coyhaique 
and later by its equal in Puerto Montt, also ruling 
in favor of HidroAysen. 

Our partner in the HidroAysen project, Colbun, 
presented in May an essential fact before the 
Superintendence of Securities and Insurance 
(SVS), proposing that the Board of HidroAysen 
postpone the environmental processes of 
the transmission line until consensus was 
attained concerning the country’s energy policy. 
Subsequently, HidroAysen, by the means of a press 
release, indicated that the Board of the company 
entrusted senior management to direct a series of 
evaluations of the resolution suggested by Colbun. 

The project is still underway, advancing slower 
than what we had hoped. We are working in 
tandem to the pace of the relative outlines 
established by the Electricity Highway Law 
project, which is currently under review by 
Congress and the Committee of Ministers, which 
must resolve the appeals presented by both 

8     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

HidroAysen and environmental organizations 
opposing the Environmental Qualification 
Resolution (RCA), granted favorably to the 
generation project on June 9th of 2011. 

Today, more than ever before, it is absolutely 
necessary and fundamental to count on clear 
guidelines to develop long-term investment 
projects. During 2012 we witnessed a substantial 
shift in the relationship between companies 
and communities, between communities and 
the authorities, a change that we are not foreign 
to and to which we feel a part of, as a company 
responsible for the surroundings we operate in.  

A New Scenario

The year 2012 was not easy for productive 
firms in Chile. The cases of Freirina and 
the rejection by the Supreme Court of the 
Castilla project after being approved by 
environmental authorities are still in our retina. 
The greater social demand, profuse judicial 
process of projects, and the lack of clarity in 
certain matters have led to the paralysis of 
investments or halting them until the rules 
of the game normalize. This all instills an 
amount of risk in the future for the supply of 
electricity, particularly if one considers the 
greater dynamism that the Chilean economy is 
displaying. 

We experienced a process of great change. 
Numerous communities no longer want 
industrial projects in their areas. The few 
times these were accepted, they demanded 
that the companies insert themselves as good 
neighbors from the very first moment, and that 
the benefits be shared between the company 
and the people. A symptom of change? Yes. The 
economies of the region reflect a continuous 
dynamism, never seen before, and seem 
isolated from the turbulence that shook 
developed countries with the subprime crisis, 
and now, Europe with its debt crisis. 

Situations such as the opposition of hydroelectric 
projects in Chile, Colombia, and Brazil, or 
claims stemming from indigenous issues in Peru 
and Chile, are expressions of the new scenario 
brewing in South America. As a company and 
Group with the vocation to remain in the region, 
we must be a part of this new configuration and 
must improve our efforts to adjust to it. 

The challenge is even greater: we must be capable 
of combining the authorities’ expectations, 
needs of the community, and the legitimate 
interests of the companies. We want to be a 
part of the solution and not the problem, due 
to this, and going along the same lines as last 
year, we have arranged a new way to relate to 
our surroundings, by the means of projects that 
integrate, since their inception comments made 
by communities (design through mitigation), 
sharing with our neighbors (early immersion), 
looking after their needs and demands. 

But we also have another challenge: be capable of 
satisfying the growing needs of our customers.

Innovation

In the segment of electricity distribution we 
have launched innovative ideas such as the 
Full Electric and Solar Electric solutions. We 
have seen significant progress in the telemetry 
projects and took a great step towards officially 
inaugurating the first smart city in South 
America in Buzios, Brazil. 

Cidade Inteligente Búzios, located in ArmaÇão 
dos Búzios, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, is 
designed to be the model in terms of applications 
and technologies of smart networks and efficient 
consumption of electricity. 

The smart city is based on the experience and 
success of other initiatives developed by Enel 
and Endesa, such as Smartcity Málaga (2009), 
which has transformed the city into one of the 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  9

2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

smartest in the distribution of electricity at an 
international level. Furthermore, the Group also 
accounts for Smartcity Barcelona in Spain, and 
three projects in Italy, located in Turin, Genova, 
and Bari. 

The Brazilian initiative, developed through 
the subsidiary Ampla, will allow the city and 
its residents the application, among others, of 
different tariffs according to consumption hours, 
the use of sustainable systems of public lighting, 
and the development of energy efficiency in 
public buildings and residences, allowing the 
control of consumption in real-time. 

In this same field, this past January 7th 
our subsidiary Chilectra, alongside Ciudad 
Empresarial, placed the first brick for “Smartcity 
Santiago”, the first prototype of a smart city in 
Chile. This model permits the incorporation 
of electric mobility projects, telemetry, home 
automation operations, photovoltaic generation 
through solar energy, automation of the 
electric grid, public lighting using LED, remote 
monitoring, among others. 

We have also progressed in fulfilling our 
commitment to lead electric mobility in the 
markets in which we operate, placing new 
recharging docks for electric vehicles at our 
users’ disposition. 

An example of this was developed by our 
subsidiary Codensa in Colombia. During 2012, 
fifteen electric vehicles were incorporated to 
the transportation fleets of the firms owned by 
the Group; a pilot plan launched of fifty taxis 
using the business model structure, and thirty-
four electric motorcycles were incorporated 
in the operation as a pilot plan to evaluate its 
performance. 

I cannot omit two milestones in the generation 
business. On one hand, the certification for the 
use of an Energy Management System SGE) 

based on the international norm ISO 50001, 
Energy Management Systems, achieved by the 
Quintero thermoelectric plant, located in the 
Region of Valparaiso, Chile. 

The approval of Quintero, an open-cycle unit 
that uses natural gas as fuel, was outstanding. 
The plant became the first open-cycle unit in 
the Group to receive this validation, making 
Endesa Chile the first utilities company in South 
America to carry ISO 50001 certification. 

The second milestone is linked to the agreement 
endorsed by both Endesa Chile and Crystal 
Lagoons to carry out research regarding the 
utilization of cooling pools for thermal plants as 
an alternative to conventional cooling systems. 
This project will be employed in the San Isidro 
thermoelectric plant, located in the Region of 
Valparaiso, Chile. 

Endesa Chile undertook this project as a 
research and trial initiative, which aims to 
determine its viability as an alternative to 
conventional processes, such as cooling towers. 
We seek to understand the empirical details 
of this technology, which eventually would be 
an environmentally-friendly solution and, in 
theory, requires less water. This pilot pool, being 
a research initiative, will only use 1% of the 
water currently used by San Isidro for cooling 
purposes. 

Plan 2013-2017

Esteemed shareholder, for the upcoming 
years our strategy will focus on the generation 
business with the following characteristics: a 
demand that is supported by solid economic 
performance, an increase in installed capacity, 
greater efficiency in our generation plants, and 
starting new businesses. The objective is to rise 
the production of electricity and the amount of 
energy sold in 2017 vs. 2012, having a portfolio 

10     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Chairman´s Letter to Shareholders

of projects that generate over 11,000 MW, and 
improve load factors during period, and gas 
supply. 

In the distribution business, our actions will 
cater to: new connections, the development of 
new projects, reduction of energy losses, and

2012 Annual Report Administration

situation in Argentina, concern shared and 
also expressed by the Directors’ Committee, 
requesting that the Regional Planning and 
Control Manager, Ramiro Alfonsín Balza, refer 
to the latest news and changes experienced in 
the Argentine context. Ramiro Alfonsín Balza 
made a brief presentation relating the changes 
that had occurred in the generation market 
to the expectations in terms of a potential 
revision of distribution tariffs in the country and 
certain actions adopted by public authorities 
in Argentina. The Director, member of the 
Committee, Mr. Rafael Fernández Morandé, 
inquired about the behavior of the financial 
sector in Argentina, and his vision of the entire 
process taking place in the country, which was

at the time, Alfredo Ergas S. The Director Mr. 
Rafael Fernández Morandé, requested discussing

for each one and confirming what had been 
resolved by the this body, in terms of it being 
responsibility of the Chairman of the Directors’ 
Committee to determine whether or not to call 
for an extraordinary meeting, if the complaint 
would justify it, according to the Chairman of 
the Committee´s opinion. Also, The Directors´ 
Committee agreed that hiring a previous 
employee of the external auditing firm KPMG 
Auditores Consultores Ltda., external auditors of 
Endesa Chile, to fill an “auditor” position within 
the Internal Auditing Department does not 
contravene the requirements of independence of 
external auditors determined by the Securities 
and Exchange Commission (SEC) nor local 
legislation and therefore, there would be no 
legal obstacle to do so.  It was stated that, in 
compliance with Enersis´ Group Employment 
Policy of ex-employees of External Auditing 

firms, a letter of the main partner of KPMG 
Auditores Consultores Ltda. was received, 
explicitly stating that having analyzed the 
background and performing the corresponding 
internal verification, the proposed does not 
contravene the requirements of independence of 
external auditors determined by the Securities 
and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United 
States of America, nor would it represent a 
violation to rules and regulations that would 
affect Enersis or its subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding, the opinion of Directors 
Mr. Leonidas Vial and Mr. Rafael Fernández 
Morandé was to analyze if it was really necessary 
that Enersis S.A. hire an employee of the 
subsidiary Endesa Chile external auditor firm, 
KPMG Auditores Consultores Ltda., and if there 
were other alternatives available in the market 
considering that such person worked, precisely 
on the external audit of the subsidiary Endesa 
Chile and its Chilean and Peruvian subsidiaries. 
The Chairman of the Directors Committee 
noted that if it was in compliance with applicable 
legislation, he could see no inconvenient as long 
as it was not a widespread practice. Finally, 
and in virtue of the above, the hiring proposal 
was not approved by the directors Mr. Vial 
Echeverría, and Mr. Fernández Morandé. 
Certain services rendered by other external 
auditors, different from the firms that performed 
the external audit, were examined, and it was 
agreed to declare that the technical suitability 
or the independence of judgment of the external 
audit firms is not at risk, and proceeded to issue 
the corresponding report, all according to the 
dispositions of Section 202 of the Sarbanes 
Oxley Act and Article 242, final paragraph of the 
Securities Market Law 18,045. Considering that 
the Chairman of the Directors’ Committee, Mr. 
Hernán Somerville Senn, had requested that 
in this session complementary information be 
presented regarding the provisions in Argentina 
and, particularly, with respect to the situation 
under certain circumstances that could affect 
argentine subsidiaries, the Chief Executive 
Officer,  Ignacio Antoñanzas Alvear, referred 
to particular scenarios, not yet confirmed, 
that could lead to new provisions, but at this 
time, due to the application of IFRS standards, 
the company is prevented from so doing. The 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  37

2012 Annual Report Administration

Chairman of the Directors’ Committee, asked 
about the assumptions of the hypothetical 
scenarios and the performance of certain 
argentine subsidiaries if certain assumptions 
changed.

In the seventh meeting of the period, held on 
June 22, 2012, certain services rendered by other 
external auditors, different from the firms that 
performed the external audit, were examined, 
and it was agreed to declare that the technical 
suitability or the independence of judgment 
of the external audit firms is not at risk, and 
proceeded to issue the corresponding report, 
all according to the dispositions of Section 202 
of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and Article 242, final 
paragraph of the Securities Market Law 18,045. 
The Director, Rafael Fernández Morandé, 
stated that, although he was aware that during 
the Board meeting to take place following 
the present meeting, the matters relating to a 
potential capital increase to take place of Enersis 
S.A., he considered it was necessary to refer 
to it in the current Directors Committee. The 
Director Fernandez Morandé stated that, in 
his view, this capital increase was a transaction 
between related parties and should be led by 
the Committee of Directors.  The Legal Counsel 
and secretary of the Directors Committee, 
Domingo Valdés Prieto, explained the reasons 
and rational of why he considered it was not an 
operation among related parties. Additionally, 
the Legal Counsel and Secretary of the Board 
informed that a legal opinion report had been 
performed by the  Olivos, Novoa and Errázuriz 
law firm and that such opinion confirmed 
that a capital increase which is, due to a legal 
mandate, a matter exclusive to an Extraordinary 
shareholders meeting, should not be considered 
an operation among related parties, that the 
Chairman of the Directors’ Committee, Mr. 
Hernán Somerville Senn, asked  Legal Counsel 
and secretary of the Directors Committee, if, 
from the United States of America legislative 
perspective, the Directors Committee should 
comply with additional obligations to those 
established by Chilean Law, and therefore the 
operation described should be analyzed by 
the Directors Committee. Legal Counsel and 
secretary of the Directors Committee responded 
that neither Chilean Law nor United States of 

America legislation applicable to foreign issuers, 
such as Enersis S.A., confer powers or duties to 
the Directors Committee in order to discuss or 
comment on a capital increase with non-cash 
contributions. The Directors Committee agreed 
to record Rafael Fernández Morandé concerns 
in the session’s minute and file an official copy 
of the Guerrero, Olivos, Novoa y Errázuriz Law 
firm’s opinion which explains that the potential 
capital Increase referred to does not constitute a 
transaction among related parties. 

On July 12, 2012 the eighth session, 
extraordinary, was held due to a request 
presented by the Director and member of this 
Committee Rafael Fernández Morandé, in 
which he stated his concern with respect to the 
role of the Directors Committee in terms of the 
operation proposed by Endesa Latinoamérica, 
the Directors Committee, by the majority of 
its members and with the vote of the Director 
Fernández Morandé against the proposal, 
declaring that this capital increase of Enersis 
S.A., did not constitute a transaction among 
related parties and, therefore, should not be 
governed by Title XVI of the Corporations 
Law. Finally and due to differences of opinion, 
the director Fernandez Morandé proposed to 
consult with the Superintendence of Securities 
and Insurance, which was dismissed by the rest 
of the Committee, taking into consideration 
the strength and clarity of the opinions that 
had been presented by leading legal firms.  Also, 
the Directors Committee resolved filing the 
legal opinions issued by the law firms Carey y 
Cía., Guerrero, Olivos, Novoa y Errázuriz and 
Chadbourne and Parke and the letter of the 
Director Rafael Fernández Morandé as official 
documents.

During the ninth session of the period, held on 
July 25, 2012, certain services rendered by other 
external auditors, different from the firms that 
performed the external audit, were examined, 
and it was agreed to declare that the technical 
suitability or the independence of judgment 
of the external audit firms is not at risk, and 
proceeded to issue the corresponding report, 
all according to the dispositions of Section 
202 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and Article 
242, final paragraph of the Securities Market

On August 31, 2012 the tenth session of the 
period took place, in which certain services 
rendered by other external auditors, different 
from the firms that performed the external audit, 
were examined, and it was agreed to declare that 
the technical suitability or the independence of 
judgment of the external audit firms is not at risk, 
and proceeded to issue the corresponding report, 
all according to the dispositions of Section 202 
of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and Article 242, final 
paragraph of the Securities Market Law 18,045.

N°18,684 (Memorandum that had been analyzed 
in depth by the Board of Directors of the 
Company in sessions taken place on August 6 and 
9 of 2012) by means of which the capital increase 
taking place should consider the rules of Title  

XVI of the Publicly Traded Corporations Law, 
given that the Board of Directors of Enersis S.A. 
had assigned an independent evaluator, should 
begin a procedure to assign an independent 
evaluator different to that nominated by the 
Board of the Company. In compliance with such 
administrative interpretation, the Chairman 
stated that the Chief Executive Officer, Ignacio 
Antoñanzas Alvear, had proceeded to submit 
all information available to the Board to that 
date; and that the Board of Enersis S.A. had 
adopted an agreement resolving that all the 
new information that the latter corporate body 
would receive would be promptly forwarded to 
the Directors Committee. The Chairman stated 
that a work team should be formed to adequately 
support the Directors Committee and that such 
corporate body should develop a plan involving, 
if necessary, meetings in situ, in the offices of 
the main domestic and foreign subsidiaries 
of Enersis S.A., and  at the same time have the 
support of a professional completely dedicated to 
the matter, and therefore agreed to Cristián del 
Sante as coordinator of all activities that arise

The twentieth session of the period was held on 
November 28, 2012, in which certain services 
rendered by other external auditors, different 
from the firms that performed the external audit,

Company. 

On December 12, 2012, the twenty first session of 
the period took place. Certain services rendered 
by other external auditors, different from the firms 
that performed the external audit, were examined, 
and it was agreed to declare that the technical 
suitability or the independence of judgment of the 
external audit firms is not at risk, and proceeded 
to issue the corresponding report, all according 
to the dispositions of Section 202 of the Sarbanes 
Oxley Act and Article 242, final paragraph of the 
Securities Market Law 18,045. During such session, 
the calendar of the Directors Committee’s ordinary 
sessions for year 2013 were approved. 

On December 13, 2012, the twenty second 
session of the year, extraordinary, was held.  The 
Directors Committee analyzed the Subscription 
Contract that the Company should subscribe with 
Endesa (Spain), required in order to materialize 
the capital increase taking place. This took 
place with the presence and presentation of the 
partner in the law firm of Carey y Cía., Claudio 
Lizana Anguita, who had prepared the draft 
of the document. The Chairman informed the 
members of the Committee that in the opinion 
of Carey y Cía. the Subscription Contract was set 
to right and reflected the constraints expressed 
in the proposal of Endesa (Spain); and that, with 
respect to the representations and warranties and 
indemnification clauses, such law firm considered 
that the Subscription Contract contained 
conditions that were adequate in order to document 
the proposal of Endesa (Spain) and customary for 
an operation such as the proposed, all confirmed by 

the partner of Carey y Cía., Claudio Lizana Anguita. 
Notwithstanding the above, suggestions of the 
Directors Committee emerged from the debate 
to be included in a new draft, which would be 
analyzed in a forthcoming meeting. The Directors 
Committee, with the unanimous favorable vote of 
its members agreed to request Carey y Cía., with 
the support of Enersis S.A. management, to proceed 
to negotiate the additional aspects suggested 
by the Directors Committee resulting from the 
presentation made by Claudio Lizana Anguita and 
that, once the mentioned negotiations took place, 
the corporate body should session again to discuss 
the matter.

In its twenty third board session, extraordinary, 
held on December 18, 2012, called for the purpose 
of revising the outcome of the negotiation of 
the comments proposed to the subscription 
of shares contract to take place between the 
Company and Endesa  (Spain), and which arises 
from the suggestions presented by the Directors 
Committee In its session dated December 13, 
2012. The partner Claudio Lizana in the Carey y 
Cía. Law firm, and counsel of the same law firm, 
Mariana Gómez Moffat, were present. After 
analyzing the modifications to the Subscription 
Contract explained by Counsel Lizana Anguita, 
and having the Directors Committee expressed 
their acceptance of the changes, the Chairman 
of the Committee proposed that, in clause seven, 
Endesa (Spain) not limit their liability in respect 
of any damage that may occur due to a lack of Tax 
ID or inaccuracy of one or more of the statements 
made by the Subscriber regarding Cono Sur and 
that they be established in clause six, in addition 
to put on record that for purposes of this clause 
the value of the investment contribution of Dock 
Sud S.A. to be considered is US$10,000,000 .  
Additionally, the floor was given to the Director 
Rafael Fernandez Morandé, who suggested the 
incorporation of the subjects that follow with 
the purpose of defining some of the terms and 
obligations contained in the contract:    a) That 
Appendix 1 of the Subscription Contract also 
contain la legal opinion of a Spanish lawyer 
with respect to the incorporation  and validity 
of such company; b) In the background section 
number III, specify that Appendix II Indicates 
the value, in terms of the Subscription Contract, 
of Cono Sur shareholdings; c) Within this same 

42     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Administration

section, specify that Appendix III contains legal 
opinions about Cono Sur shareholdings belonging 
exclusively to Cono Sur; d) In section 6.2 numeral 
(iv),  specify that according to Appendix IV, which 
contains the “pro forma”  balance statement of 
Cono Sur, such entity has no liabilities, and no 
relevant contingencies; e) In section 6.3, change 
the words “significant contingencies” to “relevant 
contingencies”; f) In section 6.3 letter (f), add 
that the change in control of Cono Sur does 
not generate and will not generate obligations 
or contingencies “derived from contractual 
obligations” , that could have a material adverse 
effect on Cono Sur and/or Enersis; g) Add to 
section 6.4 letter (c) compliance of all relevant 
aspects of “its contractual obligations”; h) Add 
the word cost in all charges that Endesa (Spain) 
is to be responsible of according clause; and i)  
In clause twelve, clarify that the Subscription 
Contract is subject to Chilean Law. After the 
matter is negotiated by lawyers of Carey y Cía., 
Claudio Lizana Anguita, partner of such firm, 
and Mariana Gómez Moffat, with Endesa (Spain), 
the acceptance of the changes is informed, with 
the sole exception of changes suggested to clause 
seven. In this regard they explained that Endesa 
(Spain) proposed that, for purposes of clause 
seven, the limit of liability in terms of Southern 
Cone be the value of the contribution of the shares 
of Cono Sur to the Company. The members of the 
Directors Committee express their conformity 

with regard to the change suggested by the 
counterpart. The Directors Committee, with the 
unanimous favorable of its members, declared 
not having and additional comments to the draft 
of the Subscription Contract that was analyzed 
during the session and also agreed that it be 
submitted to the consideration of the Board of 
Directors  of the Company, along with the report 
issued according to requirement by Article 50 
bis of the Corporations Law  stating that they 
believing that the aforementioned contract 
contributed to the social interest and is consistent 
with conditions to those prevailing in the market 
at the time of its approval.

Committee of Enersis S.A. has been completely 
dedicated to the matters defined by Article 50° bis 
of the Corporations Law N°18,046 and has analyzed 
and contributed to the better development of the 
operations previously analyzed.

management

4.1. Human resource development

4.1.1.Executive skills development program 

During the year 2012 the Second Climate and 
Security Survey for Endesa Chile took place. 
The study represents a valuable channel for 
communication and diagnosis that addresses all 
employees. The focal point of the latest version 
deepens into two related themes of great priority 
for the Group, health and safety. 

It is important to highlight that the courses of 
action and improvements defined in the previous 
survey of 2010 were executed in their entirety, 
and in that manner three transverse and relevant 
aspects were emphasized:

•	 Merit-based	recognition	and	appreciation.
•	 Training	and	development.	
•	 Communication	and	vision.

4.1.3. Eighth place in best firms for 
working parents

The magazine Ya of El Mercurio alongside 
Fundación Chile Unido list an annual ranking 
of the best firms for working parents. In 2012, 
and for its third consecutive year, Enersis Group 
participated jointly, obtaining the eighth place in 
the ranking. 

This award recognizes the companies with the 
best policies in the area of work-life balance, and 
which simultaneously promote the adoption of 
these practices among their employees, this year 
featuring the implementation of the pilot project 
called telecommuting.

4.1.4. Performance Evaluation

Performance management is an important tool 
for employee development. For this reason, since 
2010 a transverse evaluation system has been 
applied to all firms at a national level, which 
includes one evaluation on behavior BARS 
(Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales), as well 

as another one on reaching objectives. These 
evaluations are an essential tool for a person’s 
development, and are a means to guide training 
development activities. 

4.1.5. Great Place to Work

In the months of May and June of 2012 we 
partook in the Study “Great Place to Work”. The 
objective was to know employee perceptions 
in the dimensions of: Credibility – Respect – 
Impartiality – Pride – Camaraderie. This study 
allows the company to compare itself with the 
best firms to work for in Chile, understanding 
their good work practices as a means to design 
and execute courses of action and improvement 
in accordance to the needs of each office and/or 
business with the purpose to ascend within the 
ranking of the best firms to work.

4.1.6. Family-Responsible Firm

This involves a Spanish standard created by the 
foundation Masfamilia which aims to improve 
human sustainability and bolster the quality 
of life of employees, especially in the resolve 
between personal, family, and work life with equal 
opportunities. The Group took on the challenge 
and commitment to obtain this certification, 
which has implied a significant diagnostics task 
during 2012 in terms of legal aspects, management 
and employee opinions, as well as benchmarking 
with multinational firms within the market. After 
this diagnostics stage, the certification process 
was initiated under the external auditing of 
AENOR, becoming the third firm in the country 
and the first energy firm certified in the standard.

4.1.7. Telecommuting Pilot Program

The Group’s companies in Chile implemented a 
pilot project called Teletrabajo (telecommuting). 
The objective this practice seeks is to encourage 
the balance between work and family life among 
employees by one day of telecommuting per week. 
This pilot program lasted two months and was 
positively received by employees and obtained 
excellent reviews from the project’s participants. 
The fundamental principles of this practice are: 
reinforcing a managerial style based on trust and 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  51

2012 Annual Report Human resources

commitment; promote work based on results and not 
on office time, and favor the reconciliation between 
professional, personal, and family life. It is important 
to highlight that in 2013, fifty open positions will be 
filled via the voluntary application of employees.

4.1.8. “Reconocernos” Program 

This program was launched in 2012 and seeks 
to promote culture based on meritocracy and 
recognition from within the firm. It is a model that 
cements employee recognition on two levels; the 
first, is on a day-to-day basic level of recognition; 
and the second, is based on great achievements, 
allowing employees and their important and 
exceptional contributions to be recognized publicly 
at award ceremonies. In this manner the Program 
“Reconocernos” helps build the commitment 
employees have towards the Company. 

4.2. Selection

Enersis, with the objective to promote the 
professional development of its employees within 
the organization, during 2012 has continued to 
strengthen internal mobility, aiming to provide 
development opportunities to its employees by 
announcing and filling job vacancies internally. 
By using this method, during 2012, 74 internal 
placements were effected (through internal 
contests and promotions), which correspond to 
25% of the internal movements arranged through 
Selección Chile. 

Additionally, during 2012, 451 open positions were 
posted on domestic selections, 81% of which were 
filled by December. In 2012 the selection process 
had an average duration of 20.35 business days. 
Moreover, a satisfaction survey was provided to 
internal clients once the selection process was 
closed, receiving an 89% in service satisfaction. 

As a result of the constant concern for our 
employees, during 2012 the Induction Program 
was implemented to serve new employees that 
joined the company. The purpose of the program 
is to facilitate new employee adjustment to their 
roles and the firm, as well as delivering a tangible 
perspective about the business of electricity 

generation and distribution, necessary tools to 
develop efficiently in the tasks of their respective 
roles. The Program had 120 participants. 

Alternatively, as a strategy to capture market 
talent, especially young individuals with great 
potential searching for opportunities to develop 
international careers, the Young Professionals 
project took place. This pioneer initiative 
involved inviting the best students from several 
universities to participate. After recruiting over 
500 individuals, five candidates were selected 
and placed into different areas of the Group in a 
Program that will allow them to lead a successful 
career in the company. 

With the purpose to satisfy the support needs of 
different areas of the company, the Recruitment 
process of Interns was initiated. This initiative 
allows the best students to be selected for the 
process. During 2012, 213 students interned 
in diverse areas, later being evaluated with 
satisfactory reviews by their managers. During 
2012, 14 interns were later incorporated into 
different positions within the organization. 

The company has continued to take on the 
challenge to provide job positions for people living 
with disabilities. In this direction, in 2012 the 
project “Entrada” was strengthened, incorporating 
11 individuals with some form of disability as 
student interns. 

Finally, under the framework of the agreement 
signed in Spain between the Fundación Adecco 
and the Group with the objective to promote 
employment among low-income youth in South 
America, the Project Crecer+ was created, 
consisting of job training for youth at social risk, 
offering participants the opportunity to receive 
overall orientation on the job search process. 
Three, four-meeting workshops were offered, 
where 57 youths between the ages of 17 and 18 
from different schools could learn about their 
individual potential and how to take advantage 
of it during their first job search, covering themes 
such as self-awareness, curriculum building, and 
job market knowledge, among others.

5. Educational action

Starting from the process of detecting training 
needs when defining the training programs for 
2012, Enersis established a training schedule 
oriented towards rotation needs, which was 
expressed through a training offer articulated 
in two lines of action: one Transverse Plan with 
training themes for development and the other 
on functional technical training. 

For its third consecutive year, professionals 
from Regional Procurement Department and 
from different subsidiaries attended the course 
“Category Management”, led by the Spanish 
consulting firm Management International 
Purchasing (MIP). The Category Management 
Purchase model is a systematic approach used 
by world-class organizations to maximize the 
contribution of procurement to the business. 
The objectives are to teach category buyers 
the needed tools and methods to: segment the 
total cost into categories in accordance to its 
impact on the business and market in which it 
is purchased, understand Market Intelligence, 
the suppliers markets, design a strategy for 
each category, analyze strategies, situations, 
and perspectives of materials, investments and 
services markets, and evaluate risk situations, 
establishing mitigation and contingency plans. 

Another important activity that took place in 
Chile and other subsidiaries in South America, 
with the same consulting firm, was the course 
Cost Breakdown, the objectives being to 
elucidate if the composition of costs in an offer 
are reasonable or not, with the real costs that 
our request involves for the supplier. It also 
confirms whether the costs shown are coherent 
within their accounting information, and seeks 
to measure the impact on the suppliers’ margin 
and costs after our order, estimating how their 
production capacity both is affected, both in the 
short and the long term. 

With the participation of 31 employees of 
the Enersis Group, the second version of the 

2012 Annual Report Human resources 

course Electricity Markets was launched at the 
Universidad del Desarrollo. The objectives of 
this program include, among others, delivering 
the conceptual bases and practices that permit 
a greater analytical ability in regulatory and 
operative aspects that govern electricity 
systems, besides allowing to understand 
and analyze electricity market regulatory 
principles and provide tools and concepts that 
improve negotiation capacities in contracting 
electricity supply. 

There was special concern on the subjects of 
work safety and health. In this context, the 
third version of the course “Occupational Risk, 
Safety and Health Management” led by the same 
University, concluded successfully. Its purpose 
being to develop the necessary skills for the 
management of these principles, and likewise 
to strengthen the tools that allow a stronger and 
more efficient control over them. Additionally, 
its fourth version took place between September 
and December with a total of 108 hours, attended 
by of 21 employees from the Enersis Group.

2. Historical background  

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 Chilean government’s privatization 
policy, 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 
management companies (AFPs), company 
employees, institutional investors and thousands 

of small shareholders joined the Company. Its 
organizational structure was based on activities 
or operative 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 electricity 
distribution business. 

In 1987, the company’s board proposed forming 
a division for each of the parent company’s 
activities. Four subsidiaries were therefore 
created to be managed as business units each 
with its own objectives, thus expanding the 
company’s activities toward other non-regulated 
activities but linked to the main business. This 
division was approved by the extraordinary 
shareholders meeting of November 25, 1987 

72     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report The Company’s businesses

which defined its new corporate objects. 
Compañía Chilena Metropolitana de 
Distribucion Electrica S.A. thus became an 
investment holding company.

On August 1, 1988, as resolved at the 
extraordinary shareholders meeting of April 
12, 1988, one of the companies born from the 
division changed its name to Enersis S.A. At the 
extraordinary shareholders meeting of April 
11, 2002, the company’s objects were modified, 
introducing telecommunications activities and 
the investment and management of companies 
whose businesses are in telecommunications and 
information technology, and internet trading 
businesses.

In 1988, and in order to successfully meet its 
development and growth, the company was 
split into 5 business units which in turn gave 
birth to five subsidiaries. Of these, Chilectra 
and Río Maipo were responsible for electricity; 
Manso de Velasco concentrated on electrical 
engineering and construction services, plus 
real-estate management, Synapsis in the area 
of information technology and data processing, 
while Diprel focused on providing procurement 
and commercialization of electrical product.

Today, Enersis is one of the largest private 
electricity groups in Latin America in terms 
of consolidated assets and operating revenue, 
achieved through steady and balanced growth 
in its electricity businesses: generation, 
transmission and distribution. The development 
of the electricity distribution business 
abroad has been implemented jointly with its 
subsidiary Chilectra, a company that distributes 
electricity in the Metropolitan Region, Chile. Its 
investments in electricity generation in Chile and 
abroad have been developed mainly through its 
subsidiary Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. 
(Endesa Chile).

In addition, it is involved in businesses that 
complement its principal ones through 
majority holdings in the following companies: 
Inmobiliaria Manso de Velasco Ltda. committed 
to the real-estate business through the 
integral development of real-estate projects 
and the administration, rental, purchase and 
sale of the property assets of Enersis and its 
subsidiaries in Chile; ICT Servicios Informáticos 
Limitada is a consulting services company in 
technology, information and computing, and 
telecommunications

If the project is carried out, it would imply 
adding 2,750 MW of hydroelectric capacity 
to the Chilean electricity system, from 
five power plants, making an important 
contribution to reliability of the electricity 
supply of the country. The project 
also considers building a high tension 
transmission line, developed by third parties, 
approximately 1,912 Km long, that will begin 
its approval process shortly. 
In	August,	Endesa	Latinoamérica,	S.A.	
(wholly owned subsidiary of Endesa, S.A.) 
informed, as a significant event, entering

to acquire EDP’s 7.70% stakes in Endesa’s 
Brazilian subsidiaries Ampla Energia e 
Serviços S.A. and Ampla Investimentos 
e Serviços S.A. for Euro 76 million and 
Euro 9 million, respectively. After these 
acquisitions, the Endesa Group will 
control 99.64% of the share capital of both 
companies, whose shares trade on the Sao 
Paulo stock exchange. In compliance with 
securities market regulations in Brazil, 
once the acquisition is complete Endesa will 
launch a tender offer for the remaining 0.36% 
stakes held by the minorities shareholders 
of Ampla Energia and Ampla Investimentos 
under the terms set out in these regulations. 
In	September,	the	Enersis	Group	measured	
the Carbon Footprint of its generation 
power plants in Latin America. Through 
its subsidiary Endesa Chile, the company 
carried out the calculation of the carbon 
footprint for 13 generation plants located in 
Argentina, Chile and Colombia, and also for 
the corporate building in Santiago, Chile. 
Simultaneously, in Peru, a methodology 
of calculation was developed in house and 
applied to calculate the Carbon Footprint 
of hydroelectric and thermal power plants 
and also corporate headquarters in Lima. 
Chilectra on the other hand, has measured 
carbon footprint and has disclosed results 
publicly in its Sustainability Report since 

2007. The distributor brought up this subject 
with the objective of offering its customers 
various actions to reduce emissions of 
CO2, through Energy Efficiency (EE) or 
the implementation of Non-Conventional 
Renewable Energy. In order to do so, 
Chilectra has a strategic alliance with the 
environmental company POCH Ambiental, 
a firm with extensive experience in Climate 
Change and Carbon Footprint consulting, 
which offers calculation and certification 
services, and also reduction of emission by 
EE or ERNC.

•	 On	February	29,	2012,	the	power	

plant Bocamina II began commercial 
operations.  This allows compensating the 
hydroelectricity generation deficit present 
for the last 3 years and contributes with 
an important increase in efficient low cost 
thermal electricity as back up capacity of the 
Central Interconnected.

1. Capital increase

1.1. Highlights of the operation

On the occasion of the letter, dated June 
18, 2012, that Endesa Latin America, S. A. 
(controlling shareholder) sent to the Chairman 
of the Board of Directors of Enersis proposing 
a capital increase, the company’s board agreed 
unanimously, to convene an Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting for it to resolve on the 
capital increase proposed, which involved 
issuing ordinary nominative payment shares 
for up to US$8,020 million, which would be paid 
by the controlling shareholder, in proportion 
to its shareholding, by means of a non-cash 
contribution, priced by the independent expert 
Eduardo Walker Hitschfeld at US$4,862 
million, while the rest of the shareholders of the 
Company would subscribe by paying for the new 
shares in cash. 

Once the Superintendence of Securities and 
Insurance requested additional Information 
about the operation from the Company, 
it performed an interpretation through 
memorandum  N°18,684, dated August 3, 2012, 
in which it states that the capital increase 
in place should be complemented by the 
application of Articles 15, 67 and Title XVI of 
Law 18,046 involving related party transactions, 
coinciding with the opinion of the Director 
Mr. Rafael Fernández Morandé stated during 
the Board session held July 25 and during the 
Committee’s sessions taken place June 22 and 
July 12, as well as In several letters sent to the 
Chairmen of the Board and of the Committee. 
The Board of Directors of Enersis informed 
through a Significant Event disclosed August 9, 
2012, its decision to continue with the capital 
increase operation proposed by the controlling 
shareholder, complementing the process with 
the applicable rules of Title XVI referred to, 
and therefore suspended the Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting called for on July 25. 

The Superintendence of Securities and 
Insurance, through memorandum N°21,001, 
dated August 29, 2012, answered the letter 
sent by the Chief Executive Officer of Enersis 
in which he asked several questions about 
different aspects that should be clarified by 

such entity in order to apply the regulations 
regarding transactions among related parties 
to the capital increase operation in progress. 
The Superintendence interpreted, among 
other matters that the board members that had 
been elected with the votes of the controlling 
shareholder should be considered “directors 
with interest” according to Article 44 of Law N ° 
18,046 -established by the regulator for private 
companies - and therefore should be considered 
involved directors according to the terms of 
Title XVI.

On August 31, 2012, the Board of Directors 
informed, through a significant event, that 
all Board members of the company, except 
Rafael Fernández Morandé, had expressed 
having an interest in the operation according 
to the conditions defined by article 147 of the 
Corporations Law, considering the interpretation 
given through the Superintendence 
memorandum N°21,001. Similarly, the 
unanimous decision of the Board of directors to 
continue with the operation and that the search 
for an independent evaluator had begun was 
disclosed. 

The Board of Directors, during its extraordinary 
session taken place September 5, 2012, agreed 
to hire the company IM Trust as independent 
evaluator, and was informed that same day 
through a Significant Event. Also, Enersis’ 
Directors Committee designation of the 
company Claro y Asociados Ltda. as independent 
evaluator was informed through a Significant 
Event disclosed on September 7. 

El Board of directors, informed, as a Significant 
event, that on October 24, 2012 both the 
Directors Committee and the Board of Directors 
had officially received, each body respectively, 
the reports that had been commissioned to the 
independent Claro y Asociados and IM Trust.

After a complete analysis of all background 
information and within the framework of article 
50 bis of the Corporations Law, the Company’s 
Directors Committee proceeded to issue 
its report on the capital increase operation, 
which was communicated by Enersis through 
a Significant Event dated October 30, 2012 
and known by the directors, who gave their 
respective individual statements regarding 

82     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

November 6, 2012, the Board of Directors of 
Enersis, with the approval of a majority of the 
Board members and the disapproval of Director 
Rafael Fernández Morandé, agreed to convene 
an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting to 
take place December 20, in order to give its 
opinion regarding the capital increase, as it was 
proposed by Endesa (Spain). A capital increase 
in an amount not less than US$5,915 million and 
no more than US$6,555 million, or the amount 
determined by the Shareholders Meeting, would 
be presented for approval, among other matters. 
Through another Significant Event, the Board 
of Directors agreement with respect to several 
matters of interest to shareholders regarding 
the capital increase, was informed, including 
the contribution of Endesa (Spain), with its 
shareholdings in different companies in South 
America, which should fall within a range of no 
less  than US$3,586 million nor greater than 
US$3,974 million, and the Board of Directors 
agreed to request that Endesa (Spain) give its 
opinion about a series of topics of social interest. 

On November 21, Enersis received a

Meeting to take place December 20. The Board 
of Directors decided to convene the Meeting 
with the objective of reporting in detail on the 
arguments of each of its members, regarding

shareholders meeting, among other matters.  

On December 14, 2012, the Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting requested by the 
pension fund administration companies took

December, 2012.

rights and no par value. The proportion of 
the shares corresponding to the controlling 
shareholder were to be paid for with the total 
equity of Cono Sur Participaciones, S.L.,, 
company that will concentrate the shareholding 
of the controlling shareholder in South America, 
with the exception of Enersis, and that have been 
valued at Ch$ 1,724,400,000,034 corresponding 
to 9,967,630,058 shares to be issued by 
Enersis representing a reference value of US$ 
3,634,754,015.5 at an observed exchange rate of 
Ch$ 474.42 per dollar. A fixed price of $173 per 
nominative payment shares that are issued as a 
consequence of the capital increase.

The Extraordinary Shareholders meeting also 
agreed to reject the proposal to create a series 
of ordinary shares of a same special series, 
without preferred rights and without nominal 
value, that would be denominated Series B, that 
would have exactly the same rights as the shares 
currently issued, with the sole exception of its 
exchange rights established by the Exchange 
Convention agreed upon on September 24, 2008 
between Enersis, Citibank N.A. and the Central 
Bank of Chile.  

Establishing a Preemptive Subscription Period 
in compliance with the Corporations Law 
was agreed so that the shareholders have the 
possibility to subscribe the number of shares of 
the new issuance according to their respective 
prorate, within a 30 day period.  Similarly, it 
was agreed to establish a remnant Offer Period, 
in which the shares not subscribed during 
the preemptive rights period, as well as the 
corresponding fractions that result from the 
prorate, are offered to the shareholders and/
or third parties in a manner determined freely 
by the Board of Directors, within a 15 day 
period beginning the day that the Preemptive 
subscription period expires, subject to the 
restriction that the shares may not be offered at 
lower prices or under more favorable conditions 
than those offered during the Preemptive 
Subscription Period.   The Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting also established that the 
capital increase must be completed beginning 
the date of the Extraordinary Shareholders 
Meeting. Once the one year time period is over, if 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  83

2012 Annual Report Investments and financing activities

the total amount of the capital increase has not 
been reached, it is to be reduced to the amount 
actually issued, subscribed and paid. 

Similarly, the Extraordinary Shareholders 
Meeting agreed to approve that all stock 
subscription contracts be subject to satisfying 
a condition precedent requiring that those 
interested subscribe and paid, either in the 
preemptive subscription period or In the 
remnant subscription period, at least the number 
of shares necessary to allow Endesa (Spain)  to

according to its prorrata, without exceeding 
the 65% of capital with voting rights legal and 
statutory concentration limit. In the event that 
the total number of shares subscribed and paid 
implies that Endesa (Spain) exceeds such limit, 
the condition shall automatically be deemed not 
satisfied and the subscription contracts of shares 
would have no legal effect, returning the amounts 
delivered for the shares to the subscribers.

The Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting 
also informed that the Board of Directors had 
proposition with regard to the Use of Proceeds 
Plan presented, which forecasted that the cash 
to be obtained by the Company, if the capital 
increase was completed, would be primarily 
used to purchase shareholdings in Companies 
that Enersis already consolidates  and carry out 
acquisitions in South America and in activities 
in which Enersis S.A. currently operates, that 
contribute to the best interest of the Company 
because they add value and allow taking 
advantage of market opportunities (M&A).

to amend articles fifth permanent and second 
transitional of the Company’s by-laws according to 
the agreements adopted in the same Shareholders

observations to the Board of Directors.

Finally, the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting 
agreed to authorize the Board of Directors to, 
among other matters, determine the shape, 
time and procedure for the placement of shares 
related to the capital increase operation, 
the registration of the stock issuance in the 
Securities Registry, the deadline for the issue, 
subscription and payment of the shares; establish 
the procedure and characteristics of the remnant 
shares placement that are not subscribed 
during the preemptive subscription period, 
and also to adopt all necessary agreements 
conducive and convenient for the development 
and implementation of the respective decisions 
adopted by the Board.

1.2. Other matters of interest

1.2.1. Expert report and independent 
evaluations

The expert report prepared by Eduardo Walker 
Hitschfeld, priced the assets of Cono Sur at 
US$4,862 million using the DCF methodology, 
while the independent evaluators commissioned 
by the Board of Directors and the Directors 
Committee determined the value of Cono Sur 
using the discounted cash flow methodology 
(DCF) and an estimate of the market value of the 
assets themselves. IM Trust, hired by the Board of 
Directors of the company, using DCF determined 
that the assets were worth US$4,709 million, 

while the market value of the assets would be 
within the US$3,445 million and US$3,621 million 
range. Claro y Asociados, commissioned by the 
Directors calculated the value of the assets to be 
US$4,627 million using the DCF, and the market 
value of Cono Sur was estimated within the US$ 
3,870 million and US$3,912 million range.

1.2.2. Endesa (Spain) contribution

Endesa (Spain) will subscribe to the 
capital increase by contributing Cono Sur 
Participaciones S.L., a company that owns 
shareholdings of 25 generation, transmission 
and distribution companies in the 5 countries in 
which Enersis operates in South America. 

Enersis currently holds shareholdings in 20 of 
such companies that are consolidated into the 
financial statements of the Company. Eléctrica 
Cabo Blanco S.A.C., Empresa Eléctrica de Piura 
S.A., Yacylec S.A., Inversora Dock Sud S.A. and 
Central Dock Sud S.A. are the new companies 
that would be added if the operation is successful. 

1.2.3. Main impacts if the operation in 
Enersis is successful 

1)   Enersis incorporates, all at once, 

shareholdings of companies with operations 
in electricity generation and distribution in 
South America, allowing the Company to 
significantly increase its investment without 
incurring in transaction costs nor greater 
risks, given that the companies are, almost all 
of them, already managed by Enersis. 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  85

2012 Annual Report Investments and financing activities

2)   The contribution of Emgesa and Codensa will 
allow Enersis to consolidate these investments 
without needing the votes of Endesa (Spain), 
that it needs currently.

3)   The addition of Empresa Eléctrica de Piura 
S.A. implies increasing Enersis presence in 
the generation sector in Peru, through a good 
quality asset that presents attractive growth 
opportunities. This company is currently 
building a 200 MW installed capacity power 
plant that will begin operations during the first 
trimester 2013.

4) 

 If the contribution to net income after tax that 
these new shareholdings would is compared 
to the new shares of Enersis to be issued in 
exchange for these shareholdings, it would have 
a positive effect for the current shareholders of 
Enersis in terms of profit per share, both this 
year as well as following years.

5)   The contribution of these shareholdings leads to 
a significant reduction in minority interest at the 
Enersis level, which should translate into a lower 
price discount of the Enersis stock, considering 
that Enersis would have a greater share of these 
subsidiaries, reaching o getting close to 100% in 
several of them. 

6)   The cash that would be raised, complementing 
the capital Increase, would represent an 
important source of growth, fostering the 
aforementioned even more. 

7)   The debt ratio, calculated as Total Liabilities 
divided by Total Equity will improve. For 
example, using December 2012 figures, the 
debt ratio de Enersis was 0.91, and if the 
capital increase had already taken place it 
would have been 0.80.

1.2.4. Use of Proceeds

1.2.4.1. Acquisition of relevant minority 
shareholdings

There are different potential minority 
acquisitions that could take place in the short/ 
midterm.  Such acquisitions must add value to 
the company.

1.2.4.2. M&A opportunities.

The electricity industry in South America Is 
currently in a consolidation stage and Enersis 

is in an excellent position to take advantage of 
the context. 

Opportunity to create value through M&A 
operations in: Brazil, Colombia and Peru

Any investment decision will be approved by 
the Board of directors de Enersis, according to 
the Company’s investment policy and ensuring 
benefits for all shareholders

2. Investment plan 

We coordinate the overall financing strategy 
of our subsidiaries and intercompany loans to 
optimize debt management as well as the terms 
and conditions of our financing.  Our subsidiaries 
independently develop their capital expenditure 
plans that are financed by internally generated 
funds or direct financings.  One of our goals is to 
focus on investments that will provide long-term 
benefits, such as energy loss reduction projects.

Our investment plan is flexible enough so as 
to adapt to changing circumstances by giving 
different priorities to each project in accordance 
with profitability and strategic fit.  Investment 
priorities are currently focused on developing 
projects in Chile, Peru and Colombia.

86     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Investments and financing activities

2.1. Generation

Our capital expenditure in generation totaled 
$311 billion in 2012, of which $68 billion were

country, while in 2011, these amounts totaled 
US$289 billion, of which US$116 billion were 
invested in Chile and the rest overseas. 

Our expansion plan investments in 2012 were 
concentrated in Chile, Colombia and Peru. In

a 350 MW installed capacity power plant, was 
our main expansion investment. In Colombia, 
our most important expansion investment was 
the construction of the hydroelectric project El 
Quimbo, a 400 MW installed capacity power plant.

2.2. Distribution

Our investments in 2012 totaled $403 billion, 
mainly to meet consumption needs resulting 
from population growth and new customers, not 
only investing to connect these new customers, 
but also to increase capacity and strengthen the 
companies’ high voltage, medium voltage and 
low voltage installations. Of this amount, $52 
billion were invested in Chile and $351 billion 
outside the country. On the other hand in 2011, 
capital expenditures totaled $465 billion, to meet

$ 52 billion in projects related primarily to growing 
energy demand, offering an increasingly reliable 
service to all its customers, and also in projects of 
service quality, safety and loss prevention projects. 
Chilectra, as it did in 2011, continued developing 
Intelligent Connectivity plans, which aim to integrate 
new technology into electricity infrastructure, 
information and communication systems.

In high voltage, works were performed to increase 
capacity of SS/EE El Salto 220/110 KV by 400 MVA 
(reaching a total 800 MVA capacity), and reinforce 
the 110KV “El Salto – San Cristóbal” and “Chena 
– Cerro Navia” transmission lines. With respect 
to medium voltage, the new SS/EE Bicentenario 
110/12KV (25 MVA) was connected to the 
electricity system, and the Level of Voltage change, 
from 12 kV to 23 kV, has continued, and has added 
3,750 MVA. This modification allows increasing the 
networks capacity, leading to less medium tension 
(MT) lines, lower technical losses and reduce the 
visual impact of electricity lines in the city. Also, 11 
new lines were built in the Alonso de Córdova, la 
Reina, Vitacura, San José, Chacabuco, Lo Boza, Lo 
Valledor and Bicentenario substations.

In Argentina, our subsidiary Edesur, Invested 
nearly $50 billion mainly in important electricity 
infrastructure projects, including the new 
substation Rigolleau and also increasing and 
renovating the medium and low voltage network. 
Finally, the remote control of the medium voltage 
network project that began in 2011 continued, 
and the technical quality of the service.

which In total add up to approximately US$228 
million.  

Also, Enersis and Endesa Chile and their 
subsidiaries in Chile, at year end 2012, have non-
committed credit lines available in the domestic 
market for the equivalent of US$349 million and 
US$235 million, respectively. 

During 2012, Enersis´ domestic bond program 
for 12.5 Unidades de Fomento remained open, 
which the Company registered in the Securities 
Register of the Superintendence of Securities and 
Insurance in February 2008. 

In addition to the revolving credit facilities and 
bond programs mentioned, both Enersis and 
Endesa Chile along with their subsidiaries in 
Chile, ended the year with available cash of US$451 
million, US$438 million for Enersis and US$13 
million for Endesa Chile.

The consolidated financial debt of Enersis at 
December 2012 was US$7,236 million. Of this 
amount, US$4,080 million corresponded to Endesa 
Chile consolidated. This debt is mainly composed 
by international bonds, local bonds and bank debt, 

The consolidated cash position of Enersis closed 
at US$2,196 million, thus the net debt amounts to 
US$5,039 million.

With respect to the bank financing, Endesa Chile 
maintains the US$200 million syndicated loan 
signed in June 2008 expiring in June 2014, whose 
agent is BBVA Bancomer

3.2. Finanzas internacionales

Year 2012 was marked by the fragility of the Euro 
Zone, due to their fiscal and financial problems. 
In spite of this, the majority of the emerging 
economies had a solid performance in terms of 
economic growth. The financial debt markets in 
most of the countries in which the Enersis Group 
assets are located are open and allowed foreign 
subsidiaries to continue refinancing their debt on 
longer term conditions, even improving interest 
rates and complying with financial risk control 
policies. In Argentina the complex operational 
situation has caused company cash flow 
instability, although through diverse operational 
and financial measures adopted, a balance has 
been achieved by year end 2012.

In 2012, financial operations included both 
rollovers and new financings and coverage in 
foreign subsidiaries for a total amount equivalent 
to US$1,376 million, US$117 million in Argentina, 
US$533 million in Brazil, US$623 million in 
Colombia and US$104 million in Peru.

3.3. Main financial operations 
closed during 2012 

3.3.1. Argentina

During 2012, Endesa Costanera refinanced 
bank debt maturities for approximately US$99 
million. Hidroeléctrica El Chocón obtained bank 
loans for US$8 million to finance working capital. 
Edesur, refinanced bank debt maturities for 
approximately US$ 13 million.

3.3.2. Brazil

Ampla carried out a successful local bond issue for an 
amount equivalent to US$197 million allowing them 
to increase average maturity of their debt. 

Ampla and Coelce also purchased interest rate 
swaps for amounts equivalent to US$108 and US$52 
million respectively. Agreements were signed with 
BNDES to finance investments in Ampla and Coelce 
for amounts equivalent to approximately US$223 
and US$108 million respectively

3.3.3. Colombia

In Emgesa, the most relevant financial operation 
in 2012 was refinancing a syndicated loan 
equivalent to approximately US$173 million and 
structuring a local bond issuance for an amount 
equivalent to US$283 million, which will be used 
to finance the Quimbo project.

3.3.4. Peru

Edelnor refinanced US$68 million short term 
maturities, extending the average maturity of 
their debt. Chinango, subsidiary of Edegel, signed 
a 5 year US$10 million bank loan, whose proceeds 
were used to refinance maturities.   Interest rate 
hedging operations were also carried out for 
approximately US$10 million.

3.4. Coverage/Hedging policy

3.4.1. Exchange rate

The Group’s exchange rate hedging policy is based 
on cash flows and its objective is to keep a balance 
between flows indexed to foreign currency 
(dollar) and the levels of assets and liabilities in 

that currency. During 2012, Enersis’ financial 
transactions enabled it to maintain a level of 
dollar liabilities adjusted to the expected flows in 
that currency, with the exception of Argentina.

As part of this policy, forwards for US$244 
million were contracted in Chile to cover the 
dividends being received from subsidiaries in 
different currencies.  The other companies of the 
Group within the region purchased exchange 
rate forwards for US$10 million in order to 
redenominate future cash outflows according to 
the indexation of its inflows.

3.4.2. Interest rate

The Group’s policy consists of maintaining 
levels of fixed rate debt and protected over total 
net debt, within a band of more or less 10% with 
respect to the ratio established in the annual 
budget. If a deviation when compared to the 
budget occurs, hedging operations are contracted 
according to market conditions.   

Based on the above, during 2012, Interest rate swaps 
for the equivalent to US$160 million were contracted 
in order to fix the CDI (variable interest rate indexed 
to inflation in Brazil) and US$10 million to fix the 
libor (London Interbank Offering Rate). At year 
end, December 2012, the consolidated fixed plus 
protected debt over total net debt ratio was 61%.

4. Credit risk rating

On November 9, 1994, Standard and Poor’s and 
Duff & Phelps rated Enersis for the first time as 
BBB+, i.e. an investment grade company. Later, 
in 1996, Moody’s rated the company’s foreign 
currency long-term debt as Baa1.

Over time, most of the credit ratings have varied. 
They are currently all “investment grade” with 
a stable outlook, rating that is based on the 
diversified asset portfolio, the liquidity and 
appropriate debt hedging policies.

Enersis subsidiaries have a solid financial 
condition and a leadership position in the 
markets in which they operate. 

90     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

Among the main events that have taken place 
over the last few months, we may highlight the 
following:

•	 On	October	19,	2012	Standard	&	Poor’s	

Enersis BBB+ international rating with a 
stable perspective. This occurred when 
Enel SpA y Endesa (Spain) were reviewed, 
and in which both credit risk ratings were 
confirmed, but in which both changed 
perspectives from stable to negative, due to 
the downgrade of Spain’s country risk rating.

•	 Finally,	On	September	26,	2012,	Humphreys	
gave Enersis local bonds an “AA” rating, “AA/
level 1” to the commercial papers program 
and “1° class level 1” to the company stock. 

•	 On	June	18,	2012,	Moody’s	reaffirmed	Enersis	
corporate Baa2 rating with a stable outlook 

The ratings are based on the company´s 
diversified portfolio of assets, strong credit 
parameters, appropriate debt profile and ample 
liquidity.   The geographical diversification 
of Enersis within Latin America provides 
natural hedging against the diverse regulatory 
frameworks and weather conditions.

2012 Annual Report Risk Factors

1. Risk Factors

The Group’s companies are exposed to certain risks 
that are managed by systems that identify measure, 
limit concentration of, and monitor these risks.

The main principles in the Group’s risk 
management policy include the following:

•	 Compliance	with	corporate	governance	

standards.

•	 Strict	compliance	with	all	the	Group’s	

internal policies.

•	 The	Group’s	Risk	Committee	is	the	

organization in charge of defining, approving, 
and updating the basic principles that are to 
inspire actions taken regarding risk.

•	 Risk	Governance	is	organized	operationally	

through the Risk Control and Risk 
Management areas, which are two 
independent functions.

•	 Each	business	and	corporate	area	determines
I.   The markets and product areas in which 
it will operate based on its knowledge 
and ability to ensure effective risk 
management.

 II. Criteria regarding counterparts.
 III. Authorized operators.

•	 Business	and	corporate	areas	establish	their	
risk tolerance in a manner consistent with 
the defined strategy for each market in which 
they operate.

•	 Business	limits	are	ratified	by	the	Group’s	

Risk Committee.

•	 All	of	the	operations	of	the	businesses	and	
corporate areas are conducted within the 
limits approved for each case.

•	 Businesses,	corporate	areas,	lines	of	business	

structure to minimize the cost of debt with 
reduced volatility in profit or loss.

In compliance with the current interest rate 
hedging policy, the proportion of fixed debt and/
or hedged debt over the net total debt was 61% as 
of December 31, 2012.

Depending on the Group’s estimates and on 
the objectives of the debt structure, hedging 
transactions are performed by entering into 
derivatives contracts that mitigate interest rate 
risk. Derivative instruments currently used to 
comply with the risk management policy are 
interest rate swaps to set floating rate at fixed rate.

1.1.1. Coverage and protection: 

With the purpose of reducing the volatility of 
financial statements resulting from changes 
in the interest rate, we maintain an adequate 
balance in our debt structure. Additionally, we 
have interest rate swaps for US$ 463 million.

The financial debt structure of the Enersis Group 
in terms of fixed, protected and variable, after 
derivatives, id\s the following:

1.2. Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risks involve basically the 
following transactions:

and companies design the risk management 
controls necessary to ensure that 
transactions in the markets are conducted in 
accordance with Enersis’ policies, standards, 
and procedures.

•	 Debt	contracted	by	the	Group’s	companies	
that is denominated in a foreign currency 
•	 Payments	to	be	made	in	international	markets	
for the acquisition of project-related materials.
•	 Group	company	income	directly	linked	to	the	

1.1. Interest rate risk

Changes in interest rates affect the fair value of 
assets and liabilities bearing fixed interest rates, 
as well as the expected future cash flows of assets 
and liabilities subject to floating interest rates.

The objective of managing interest rate risk 
exposure is to achieve a balance in the debt 

US dollar.

•	 Cash	flows	from	foreign	subsidiaries	to	the	

Chilean parent company, exposed to exchange 
rate fluctuations.

The Group’s foreign currency risk management 
policy is based on cash flows and is aimed 
towards maintaining a balance between cash 
flows in foreign currency (US$) and the assets 

94     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

 
2012 Annual Report Risk Factors

and liabilities denominated in this currency. We 
also have US$ 1,470 million cross currency swaps 
and forwards for US$ 28 million 

1.3. Commodity price risk

The Enersis Group is exposed to risk arising 
from the price volatility of some “commodities”, 
fundamentally related to: 

-  Purchase of fuel used to generate electricity

-   Purchase and sale transactions of electricity 

that take place in local markets

In order to reduce the risk in situations of 
extreme drought, the company has designed 
a commercial policy that defines the levels of 
sales commitments in line with the capacity 
of its generating power plants in a dry year 
and includes risk mitigation clauses in certain 
contracts with unregulated customers.

Considering the operating conditions faced 
by the power generation market in Chile, with 
drought and price volatility of commodities in 
international markets, the Group is constantly 
verifying the convenience of hedging against the 
impact of these prices on profits. As of December 
31, 2012, we have swaps for 462 thousand barrels 
of Brent to January 2013 and 365 thousand tons 
of coal from February thru June 2013. 

Operating conditions are constantly monitored, 
which may lead to changes in hedging amounts or 
lead to include other commodities. 

1.4. Liquidity risk

The Group maintains a liquidity risk 
management policy that consists of entering 
into long-term committed banking facilities 
and temporary financial investments for 
amounts that cover the projected needs over 
a period of time that is determined based on 
the situation and expectations for debt and 
capital markets. The projected needs mentioned 
above include net financial debt maturities, 
that is, net of financial derivatives. For further 
details regarding the features and conditions of 
financial obligations and financial derivatives, 
see Notes 18 and 20, and Appendix No.4.

As of December 31, 2012, the Group has cash and 
cash equivalent totaling Th$ 857,380,018 and 
unconditionally available long term credit lines 
totaling Th$ 240,683,000. As of December 31, 
2011, the Enersis Group had Th$ 1,219,921,268 in 
cash and cash equivalents and Th$ 238,832,000 in 
unconditionally available long term credit lines

1.5. Credit risk

Given the current economic situation, the Group 
has been closely credit risk.

1.5.1. Trade receivables

The credit risk for receivables from our 
commercial activity has historically been very 
low, due to the short term period of collections 
from customers, resulting in non-significant 
cumulative receivables amounts. This situation 
applies to both the electricity generation and 
distribution lines of business.

In our electricity generation business, some 
countries’ allow the suspension of supply to 
customers with outstanding payments, and most 
contracts have termination clauses for payment 
default. The Company monitors its credit risk 
on an ongoing basis and measures quantitatively 
its maximum exposure to payment default risk, 
which, as stated above, is very low.

In our electricity distribution companies, the 
suspension of energy service for customers in 
payment default is permitted in all cases, in 
accordance with current regulations in each 
country. This facilitates our credit risk management, 
which is also low in this line of business.

1.5.2. Financial assets

Cash surpluses are invested in the highest-rated 
local and foreign financial entities (with risk 
rating equivalent to investment grade) with 
thresholds established for each entity.

Banks that have received investment grade 
ratings from at least two of the three major 
international rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P, and 
Fitch) qualify in order to invest.

Investments are backed with treasury bonds 
from the countries in which the company 
operates and/or with commercial papers issued 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  95

2012 Annual Report Risk Factors

by the highest rated banks; wherever possible 
and when market conditions permit, the treasury 
bonds are preferred.

Derivative instruments are entered into 
with entities with solid creditworthiness and 
therefore all transactions are carried out with 
investment grade entities 

1.6. Risk measurement

The Enersis Group measures the Value at Risk of 
its debt positions and financial derivatives in order 
to ensure that the risk assumed by the company 
remains consistent with the risk exposure defined 
by management, thereby reducing income statement 
volatility.

The portfolio of positions included in calculating the 
current Value at Risk consists of the following:

 - Debt
 - Financial derivatives
The Value at Risk determined represents the 
potential loss in value of the portfolio of 
positions described above in one day with a 
95% confidence level. To determine the VaR, 
we take into account the volatility of the risk 
variables affecting the value of the portfolio 
of positions including: 
- U.S. dollar Libor interest rate.
 - The customary local indexes used in the 

banking industry for debt, considering the 
various currencies in which our companies 
operate.

 - The exchange rates of the various currencies 

used in the calculation.

The calculation of VaR is based on generating 
possible future scenarios (at one day) of market 
values (both spot and term) for the risk variables, 
using Bootstrapping simulations. The number 
of scenarios generated ensures compliance with 
the simulation convergence criteria. The table of 
volatilities and correlations between the various 
risk variables calculated based on the historical 
values of the logarithmic price return has been 
applied to simulate the future price scenario. 
Once the price scenarios have been obtained, 
the fair value of the portfolio is calculated using 
such scenarios, thereby obtaining a distribution 
of possible values at one day. The one-day 
95%-confidence VaR number is calculated as the 
5% percentile of the potential increases in the 
fair value of the portfolio in one day. The various 
debt positions and financial derivatives included 
in the calculation have been valued consistently 
using the financial capital calculation 
methodology reported to management.

Taking into account the assumptions described 
above, the Value at Risk of the previously 
discussed positions, broken down by type of 
position, is shown in the following table:

Financial positions

maturity of operations throughout each year.

1. Description of the 
Industry 

Enersis and its subsidiaries and joint control 
companies participate in electricity generation and 
commercialization in five countries, each having its 
respective regulatory framework, energy matrix, 
participating companies, and consumption and 
growth profile. The following briefly summarizes 
the main bodies that regulate the activity, the size 
of the market and the most important aspects with 
respect to the agents of each of the countries in 
which the company operates. 

1.1. Argentina  

1.1.1. Industry structure

The electricity industry In Argentina is governed 
by Law No. 15,336 In place since 1960 and 
Law No. 24,065 since 1992. In the Wholesale 
Electricity Market (MEM in its Spanish 
acronym) there are four categories of local 
agents (generators, transmitters, distributors 
and large customers) and foreign agents (traders 
of generation and traders of demand) who are 
allowed to buy and sell electricity as well as 
related products.

The generation sector is organized on a 
competitive basis, with independent generators 
selling their output on the MEM’s spot market 
or through private contracts to purchasers on 
the MEM’s contract market or to CAMMESA 
through special transactions like contracts. 

Transmission operates under monopoly conditions 
and is comprised of several companies to whom the 
Federal Government grants concessions.

Distribution operates under monopoly 
conditions and is serviced by companies who 
have also been granted concessions. Distribution 
companies have the obligation to make 
electricity available to end customers within a 
specific concession area, regardless of whether 
the customer has a contract with the distributor 
or directly with a generator.  

In year 2002, due to the economic crisis that 
affected the country, Law 25,561, the Public 

Emergency Law, was enacted, which forced the 
renegotiation of public service contracts and 
imposed the conversion of dollar denominated 
obligations and rights into Argentine pesos. 
This mandatory nominal conversion from 
dollars to pesos had a significant impact on the 
entire electricity industry in Argentina.  The 
Government also began approving several 
regulatory changes that gradually began to 
interfere in the development of the industry.  
Within this context, in 2012, the Government 
announced its intention to move forward 
with the implementation of a new regulatory 
framework, based on average costs, maintaining 
a segmentation based on the activity segment to 
ensure a balance between compensation, level 
of investment and reasonable return. Until its 
final implementation (In 2014) and during this 
transitional period, the companies of the Group 
present In Argentina are reaching different 
specific agreements with the Secretary of Energy, 
allowing to continue operations of the companies. 

1.1.2. Generation regulation   

All generators that are MEM agents have to be 
connected to the Argentine Interconnected 
System (SIN in its Spanish acronym) and are 
obliged to comply with the dispatch order to 
generate and deliver energy to the Argentine 
SIN, in order to be sold in the spot market or in 
the term market. (MAT in its Spanish acronym). 
Distribution companies, traders and large 
customers that have entered into private supply 
contracts with generation companies, pay the 
contractual price directly to the generator 
and also pay a toll to the transmission and/or 
distribution company for the use of their systems.

The emergency regulations enacted after 
the Argentine crisis in 2001 had a significant 
impact on energy prices.  Among the measures 
implemented pursuant to the emergency 
regulations were the pesification of prices in the 
spot market, and the requirement that all spot 
prices be calculated based on the price of natural 
gas, even in circumstances where alternative fuel 
such as diesel is purchased to meet demand due 
to the lack of supply of natural gas. This forces 
the market price to decline, considering that 
operating with natural gas is less expensive than 
with liquid fuels.  

100     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

In addition to energy payments for actual output 
at the prevailing spot market prices, generators 
would receive compensation for capacity placed 
at the disposal of the SIN, including stand-by 
capacity (for system capacity shortages) and 
ancillary services (such as frequency regulation 
and voltage control).  

The regulatory framework governing payment 
for generation capacity continues to be the same 
that governed in 2002, with generators receiving 
compensation for available capacity at Ar$ 12 
per MW until today. During 2011 the payment 
for thermal generation capacity increased as 
an incentive to increase installed capacity, 
particularly for steam turbines and combined 
cycles, but this was not renewed for year 2012.

Generators may also enter into agreements in 
the term market to supply energy and capacity to 
distributors and large customers.  Distributors are 
able to purchase energy through agreements in the 
term market instead of purchasing energy in the 
spot market.  Term agreements typically stipulate a 
price based on the spot price plus a margin.  

In order to stabilize the prices for distribution 
tariffs, the market has a seasonal price as the 
energy price to be paid by distributors for their 
purchases of electricity traded in the spot market.  
It is a fixed price determined every six months by 
the Secretariat of Energy after CAMMESA has 

recommended the seasonal price level for the next 
period according to its estimated spot price, which 
is based on its evaluation of the expected supply, 
demand and available capacity, as well as other 
factors.  The seasonal price is maintained for at 
least 90 days.  In order to adjust for the differences 
between this price and the real cost of generation, 
a stabilization fund is created. If the seasonal price 
is lower than the cost of generation, an amount 
is withdrawn from the fund to compensate 
generation, if the opposite occurs a contribution 
is made to the fund. Since 2002, the Secretariat 
of Energy has maintained the average seasonal 
price. Therefore, a significant deficit has built up 
in the stabilization fund, which the Argentine 
Government has been covering, through subsidies. 

Within the framework of agreements with the 
Government in order to allow the development 
of our operations in Argentina, on October 12, 
Endesa Costanera subscribed an agreement 
in order to carry out an investment plan for 
the generation units of Central Costanera, 
to optimize the reliability and availability of 
such equipment, for a total amount of US$304 
million, over a 7 year period. The agreement 
also considers the payment of the commitments 
included in the maintenance contract, (Long 
Term Service Agreement –LTSA-) of the power 
plant’s combined cycles.

1.1.3. Distribution regulation

Distributors are companies holding a concession 
to distribute electricity to consumers.  
Distributors are required to supply any and 
all demand of electricity in their exclusive 
areas of concession, at prices (tariffs) and 
conditions set in the regulation.  Penalties 
for non-supply are included in the concession 
agreements.  Concessions were issued for 
distribution and retail sale, with specific terms 
for the concessionaire stated in the contract.  
The concession periods are divided into 
“management periods” allowing companies to 
give up the concession every so long. 

Most distribution companies have been 
renegotiating contracts since 2005 and 
although tariffs were partially and temporarily 
established, the Comprehensive Rate Revision 
Process (RTI in its Spanish acronym) process is 
still pending. 

As a result of this renegotiation process, during 
2006, our subsidiary Edesur entered into an 
“Agreement for Renegotiation of Concession 
Contract.”  This Agreement established, among 
several conditions, a temporary tariff regime 
which considered an increase in the VAD, a 
service quality regime, and a Comprehensive 
Rate Revision Process (RTI in its Spanish 
acronym) to be implemented by ENRE in the 
future. The Agreement considered defining 
a semiannual tariff adjustment based on the 
performance of an ad hoc inflation index, 
known as Cost Monitoring Mechanism 
(MMC in its Spanish acronym). The first 
adjustments due to inflation took place in 
2008, but since then it has never again been 
officially acknowledged. Notwithstanding the 
aforementioned, the Argentine government 
has created different alternative regulations 
that have allowed distribution companies to 
continue supplying electricity.  

One of them has been called Energy Efficiency 
Program, PUREE (in its Spanish acronym). This 
program was created in 2004 by the Secretary 
of Energy and established bonuses and penalties 
to customers depending on their level of energy 
savings based on a referential consumption; the 

net difference between the bonuses and penalties 
was originally deposited in the Stabilization 
Fund, but this was subsequently modified at 
the request of Edesur and Edenor, authorized 
by the Secretary of Energy, in order to use these 
funds to compensate for the variations in costs, 
the greater, not recognized costs, MCC (in its 
Spanish acronym.) 

Additional costs to include in customers tariffs 
have also been approved to finance expansion 
and quality plan investments of distributors. 
In November, 2012, Resolution ENRE 347 was 
approved, enabling to differentiate charges 
among customers based on future RTI. This tariff 
adjustment has implied 437 million argentine pesos 
of additional revenue for Edesur, which represents 
a 40% increase of VAD and 20% Increase of tariffs.  

1.1.4. Transmission regulation 

Transmission was shaped on the basis of the 
general conception and principles established 
in Law 24,065 for the transmission business, 
adapting the activity to the general criteria 
contained in the concession granted to Transener 
S.A. by Decree 2,743/92.  This transmission 
business, for technological reasons, is related 
to economies of scale which do not allow for 
competition, and is therefore a monopoly and is 
subject to considerable regulation.

1.1.5. Environmental regulation 

Electricity facilities are subject to federal and 
local environmental laws and regulations, 
including Law 24,051, or the Hazardous Waste 
Law, and its ancillary regulations.

Certain reporting and monitoring obligations 
and emission standards are imposed on the 
electricity sector.  Failure to satisfy these 
requirements entitles the government to impose 
penalties, such as suspension of operations 
which, in case of public services, could result in 
the cancellation of concessions.

Law 26,190, enacted in 2007, defined the use 
of non-conventional renewable energy for 
electricity production as a national interest and 
set as a target 8% market share for generation 
from renewable energies within a 10 year period

1.2.  Brazil  

1.2.1. Industry structure  

Brazil’s electricity industry is organized into 
one large interconnected electricity system, the 
National Interconnected System, which covers 
most of Brazil´s regions, and several other small, 
isolated systems. Generation, transmission, 
distribution and trading are legally separated 
activities in Brazil.

The industry is regulated by the Federal 
Government, through the Ministry of Mines and 
Energy (MME in its Portuguese acronym) and 
also through the Brazilian National Electricity 
Agency (ANEEL in its Portuguese acronym).

According to Law Nº 10,848, in 2004, the 
electricity wholesale market, as an instrument for 
spot price determination, is residual. On the other 
hand, the wholesale price is based on the average 
price of biddings, having biddings for existing 
energy separate from biddings for new energy. 
The latter consider long term contracts in which 
new generation projects must cover the growth in 
demand projected by distributors. Old energy bids 
consider shorter term contracts and aim to satisfy 
the electricity needs that arise from expiring 
contracts. Each bidding process is coordinated 
by the authority, defining maximum prices and, 
as a result, contracts are signed in which all 
participating distributors buy their corresponding 
percentage to each of the offering generators. 

Transmission operates under monopoly 
conditions.  Tolls for transmission companies are 
fixed by the Brazilian government.  This applies 
to all electricity companies with transmission 
operations in Brazil.  The transmission toll 
is fixed and, as well as transmission company 
revenues, does not depend on the amount of 
electricity transmitted.

Distribution is a public service that operates 
under monopoly conditions and is provided 
by companies who have also been granted 
concessions.  Distributors in the Brazilian system 
are not allowed to: (i) develop activities related to 
the generation or transmission of electricity; (ii) 
sell electricity to unregulated consumers, except 
for those in their concession area and under the 
same conditions and tariffs maintained with 
respect to captive customers in the Regulated 
Market; (iii) hold, directly or indirectly, any 
interest in any other firm, corporation or 
company; or (iv) develop activities that are 
unrelated to their respective concessions, except 
for those permitted by law or in the relevant 
concession agreement.  Generators are not 
allowed to hold more than 10% equity interests in 
distributors.

The unregulated market includes the sale of 
electricity between generation concessionaires, 
independent producers, self-producers, traders, 
importers of electricity, unregulated, and 
special consumers.  It also includes contracts 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  103

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

between generators and distributors that were 
signed under the previous regulatory framework 
until they expire, point in which new contracts 
must be entered into under the terms of the 
new regulatory framework.  According to the 
specifications set forth in Law No. 9,427/96, 
unregulated consumers in Brazil are currently 
those customers who: (i) demand a capacity of at 
least 3,000 kW and choose to contract the energy 
supply directly with generators or traders; or (ii) 
demand capacity in the range of 500-3,000 kW 
and choose to contract the energy supply directly 
with generators or traders.

The Brazilian system is coordinated by the 
Brazilian Electricity System Operator (ONS 
in its Portuguese acronym) and is divided 
into four sub-systems: South-East, Mid-West, 
South, North-East and North.  In addition to 
the Brazilian system, there are also the isolated 
systems, i.e., those systems that are not part of 
the Brazilian system and are generally located 
in the Northern and North-Eastern regions 
of Brazil, and have as sole sources of energy 
the electricity generated by coal or oil fuelled 
thermal plants.

1.2.2. Generation regulation 

Generating agents, whether public generation 
concessionaires, IPPs or self-producers, as 
well as trading agents, are allowed to sell 
electric power within the regulated contracting 
environment (ACR in its Portuguese acronym) 
or the free-market contracting environment 
(ACL in its Portuguese acronym), maintaining 
the competitive nature of generation and all 
agreements, irrespectively of having been 
entered in the ACR or in the ACL, are registered 
in the CCEE, and they serve as a basis for 
accounting and determining the difference 
adjustments in the short term market.

Pursuant to the market regulations, 100% of 
distributor´s energy demand must be satisfied 
through long-term contracts signed before the 
expiration of current contracts in the regulated 
environment. 

Generators can sell their energy to other 
generators through direct negotiation, at freely-
agreed prices and conditions.

Another change imposed on the electricity 
sector is the separation of the bidding process for 
“existing power” and “new power projects.”  The 
government believes that a new power project 
needs more favorable contractual conditions 
such as the term of the power purchase 
agreements (15 years for thermal and 30 years 
for hydro) and certain price levels for each 
technology.  On the other hand, existing power, 
which includes depreciated power plants, can 
sell their energy at lower prices in shorter term 
contracts.

Selling agents are responsible for payments to 
the buying agent if they are unable to satisfy 
their delivery obligations.  ANEEL regulations 
set forth the fines applicable to electricity agents 
based on the nature and the materiality of the 
violation (including warnings, fines, temporary 
suspension of the right to participate in bids for 
new concessions, licenses or authorizations and 
forfeiture).  ANEEL may also impose restrictions 
on the terms and conditions of agreements 
between related parties and, under extreme 
circumstances, terminate such agreements.

Decree 5,163/2004 establishes that the selling 
agents must assure 100% physical coverage 
for their energy and capacity contracts.  This 
coverage may be satisfied by physical guarantees 
from its own power plants or someone else’s; in 
the latter case through the energy or capacity 
purchase contract. Among other aspects, 
ANEEL’s Resolution 109/2004 specifies that 
when these limits are not met, the agents are 
subject to financial penalties.  

Generation agents may sell their electricity 
generation through contracts signed within 
the ACR or the ACL. Public service generators 
and IPPs must provide a physical coverage from 
their own electricity generation for 100% of their 
contracted sales.  Self-producers generate energy 
for their own exclusive use, and after obtaining 

104     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

ANEEL’s authorization they may sell excess 
power through contracts.

occur when an important event significantly 
affects the value of the tariff. 

Finally, in terms of generation, on September 11, 
the Government approved the Temporary Measure 
579, which establishes the conditions necessary to 
renew the electricity sector concessions that expire 
2015 and 2017 and the reduction of taxes within 
the electricity tariff. The Temporary Measure was 
approved with the purpose of reducing the final 
price of the electricity tariff and reboot economic 
activity in Brazil. The Measure does not affect the 
concession of any Enersis subsidiary in Brazil. In 
the official newspaper, on January 14, 2013, Law 
12,783 the Temporary Measure, was approved.

1.2.3. Distribution regulation

In the regulated market, electricity distribution 
companies buy the electricity through bids that 
are regulated by ANEEL and organized by CCEE.  
Distributors must buy electricity at public bids. 
There are three types of regulated bids: new 
energy bids, existing energy bids and adjustment 
bids.  The government also has the right to call 
special bids for renewable electricity (biomass, 
mini-hydro, solar and wind power).  ANEEL and 
CCEE hold the bids annually.  The contracting 
system is multilateral, with generating 
companies entering into contracts with all 
distributors who call for bids.

Distribution tariff rates to final customers are 
subject to review by ANEEL, which has the 
authority to adjust and review these tariffs in 
response to changes in energy purchase costs and 
market conditions. When adjusting distribution 
tariffs, ANEEL divides the Annual Reference 
Value, the costs of distribution companies, 
into: (i) costs that are beyond the control of the 
distributor (“Part A costs”), and (ii) costs that 
are under control of distributors (“Part B costs”), 
the Value-Added Distribution.  Each distribution 
company’s concession agreement provides for an 
annual adjustment.

The Concessions Law establishes three kinds of 
reviews for final consumer tariffs: annual tariff 
resetting, and both ordinary and extraordinary 
tariff reviews. The reviews are those every four 
or five years and are performed according to 
concession contracts (in Companhia Energética 
do Ceará, S.A. every four years and in Ampla 
Energia e Serviços, S.A. every five years). The 
annual review adjusts VAD costs according to the 
annual inflation (in Brazil tariffs are adjusted 
annually). Finally, the extraordinary revisions 

Distribution companies’ tariff setting aims to 
maintain concessionaire´s operating margins 
constant allowing for tariff gains due to Part A 
costs and permitting the concessionaire to retain 
any efficiency gains achieved for defined periods 
of time.  Tariffs to end users are also adjusted 
according to the variation of costs incurred in 
purchasing electricity.

 The ordinary tariff reviews take into account the 
entire tariff-setting structure for the company, 
including the costs of providing services and 
purchasing energy, as well as a return for the 
investor.  Under their concessions, Coelce and 
Ampla are subject to tariff reviews every four 
and five years, respectively.  The asset base for 
calculating an allowed return for the investor is 
the market replacement value depreciated during 
its accounting useful life, and the rate of return 
allowed for those assets is based on the weighted 
average cost of capital, or WACC, for a “model 
company”.  The WACC is reviewed every tariff 
cycle. The current value of the real before tax 
distribution WACC is 11.4. 

The law guarantees an economic and financial 
equilibrium for a company in the event that there 
is a substantial change in its operating costs.  
In the event that the Part A cost components, 
such as energy purchases and taxes, increase 
significantly within the period between two 
annual tariff adjustments, the concessionaire 
may request from ANEEL a pass-through of 
those costs to the final customers.

1.2.4. Transmission regulation  

Any electricity market agent that produces or 
consumes energy is entitled to use the Basic 
Network.  Free-market consumers also have this 
right, provided that they comply with certain 
technical and legal requirements.  This is called free 
access and is guaranteed by law and by ANEEL.

The operation and management of the Basic 
Network is the responsibility of ONS, which 
is also responsible for optimizing electricity 
dispatch from power plants, involving use of 
the interconnected power system hydroelectric 
reservoirs and thermal power plants.

On April 5, 2011 Ministerial Decree 210/2011 
and 211/2011 were published in the Official 
newspaper that make both interconnection 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  105

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

lines of Compañía de Interconexión Energética, 
S.A. public service concessions, to receive the 
payment of a regulated toll. The Receita Anual 
Permitida (from now on “RAP”) is adjusted 
annually, during the month of June, according to 
the National Consumer Price Index (from now 
on “IPCA”) and the tariff is reviewed every four 
years. A gross remuneration base was fixed at 
1,760 million Reals (US$885 million) and a net 
base at 1,160 million Reals (US$585 million). 
In 2012, ANEEL authorized the installation 
of transmission backup, acknowledging an 
additional 47 million Reals (US$23 million), in 
the base remuneration. The remuneration rate 
applicable was defined according to current 
regulation at 7.24% (In real terms after tax), 
authorized until June 2020 for Line 1 and until 
July 2022 for Line 2, considering the indemnity 
on non-amortized Investments.

1.2.5. Regulación medioambiental 

Although the Brazilian constitution gives the 
federal, state and local government power to 
enact laws designed to protect the environment, 
and to issue regulations under such laws, 
most environmental regulations in Brazil are 
determined at state and local levels.

Hydroelectric facilities are required to obtain 
concessions for water rights and environmental 
approvals.  Thermal electricity generation, 
transmission and distribution companies are 
required to obtain environmental approvals 
from environmental regulatory authorities.

1.3. Chile  

1.3.1. Industry structure 

The electricity industry in Chile is divided 
into three business segments: generation, 
transmission and distribution.  

The generation segment is formed by companies 
that produce electricity.  They sell their production 
to distribution companies, unregulated 
customers, or to other generation companies.  The 
transmission segment is formed by companies that 
transmit at high voltage the electricity produced 
by generation companies.  Finally, the distribution 
segment is defined for regulatory purposes to 
include all electricity supply to final customers at a 
voltage no higher than 23 kV.

In Chile there are four separate interconnected 
electricity systems.  The main systems that cover 
the most populated areas of Chile are the Sistema 
Interconectado Central(“SIC”), that services the 
central and south central part of the territory, 
where 93% of the Chilean population lives, and 
the Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande, 
(“SING”), which operates in the northern part of 
the country, where most of the mining industry 
is located. In addition to the SIC and the SING, 
there are two isolated systems in southern Chile 
that provide electricity in remote areas.  The 
operation of electricity generation companies in 
each of the two major interconnected electricity 
systems is coordinated by their respective 
dispatch center, commonly referred to as 

106     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

“CDEC” (CDEC-SIC and CDEC-SING), which are 
autonomous entities conformed by generators, 
transmission companies, sub transmitters 
and large customers.  CDECs coordinate the 
operation of their system as efficient markets 
for the sale of electricity, in which the lowest 
marginal cost producer is used to satisfy demand.  
As a result, at any specific level of demand, the 
appropriate supply will be provided at the lowest 
possible cost of production available in the 
system at any moment.

1.3.2. Generation regulation 

The generation segment comprises a group of 
electricity companies who own generating plants, 
which energy is transmitted and distributed to 
end consumers.  This segment is characterized 
by being a competitive market which operates 
under market-driven conditions.  They sell their 
production to distribution companies, unregulated 
customers, other generation companies, and their 
surpluses on the spot market.

The operations of generation companies, in each 
transmission system, are coordinated by the 
pertinent dispatch center or CDEC, autonomous 
entity that involves generators, transmission 
companies and large customers.  A CDEC 
coordinates the operation of their system as 
efficient markets for the sale of electricity, in which 
the lowest marginal cost producer is usually used 
to satisfy demand.  As a result, at any specific level 
of demand, the appropriate supply will be provided 
at the lowest possible cost of production available 
in the system at any moment. The marginal cost 
is used as the price at which generators trade their 
energy on an hourly basis, including the energy 
fed into the system and energy withdrawn or 
purchased to supply customers. 

Generation companies participate in energy 
bids for up to 15 years. The bids are performed 
according to the requirements of electricity 
demand present through distributors and are 
supervised by the Chilean National Energy 
Commission (CNE in its Spanish acronym, the 
regulator). This allows stable and predictable 
revenues for generators, avoiding volatility of 
the marginal cost and therefore fostering the 
investment in the sector.  

In Chile there is a fee to pay for capacity, given by 
the amount to compensate for the development 
of a gas turbine, as the marginal unit to supply 
the demand of the system. The industry rate of 

return is considered 10%.  The capacity payment 
gives generators a fixed revenue for being 
available to the system and contributing to the 
reserve margin of the country

1.3.3. Regulación en empresas de 
distribución 

The distribution segment is defined for 
regulatory purposes as all electricity supplies 
to end users at a voltage no higher than 23 
kV.  Distribution companies operate under a 
distribution public utility concession regime, 
with service obligation and regulated tariffs for 
supplying regulated customers.

The distribution companies supply both 
regulated customers, whose demand is less than 
500 kW, a segment for which the price and supply 
conditions are the result of tender processes 
regulated by the government’s National Energy 
Commission, and  unregulated customers, with 
bilateral contracts with the generators, whose 
conditions are freely negotiated and agreed.

Consumers are classified according to the size 
of demand, as follows: i) unregulated customers, 
those with a connected capacity over 2,000 
kW; ii) regulated customers, whose connected 
capacity is equal or lower than 2,000 kW; and iii) 
customers that opt for either a regulated-tariff or 
an unregulated regime, for a minimum period of 
four years in each regime, available to consumers 
whose connected capacity falls in the range of 
500 kW-2,000 kW.

The process of setting the distribution tariffs 
are carried out every four years. The CNE and 
the company considered to represent a certain 
typical area hire independent consultants to 
determine the Value Added of Distribution 
of that specific typical area. The preliminary 
basic tariffs are obtained by weighing the result 
obtained from the study performed by the CNE’s 
Independent consultant and by Chilectra in a 
ratio of 2/3-1/3 respectively. With these basic 
tariffs, the 10% return, with a 4% dispersion, on 
the aggregate industry is verified. The rate of 
return for the Industry recognized by law is 10%. 

Tariff revisions take place every four years in the 
sub transmission segment (high voltage facilities 
that connect distribution lines to transmission 
lines). This process is performed in an alternate 
manner with respect to the distribution tariff 
revision process, so that, both are two years apart. 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  107

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

Additionally, every four years, the ancillary 
services are reviewed, which are those services not 
considered within the distribution tariff revisions.

1.4. Colombia  

1.4.1. Industry structure

The Chilean distribution model is a solid model, 
having performed eight tariff setting processes 
since the privatization of the industry.

1.3.4. Transmission regulation 

The transmission segment comprises a 
combination of lines, substations and equipment 
for the transmission of electricity from the power 
plants (generators) to the centers of consumption 
or distribution.  Transmission in Chile is defined as 
lines or substations with a voltage or tension higher 
than 23 kV.  The transmission system is open access 
and transmission companies may impose rights 
of way to use the available transmission capacity 
through the payment of tolls.

Since transmission assets are built pursuant 
to concessions granted by the government, the 
law requires a company to operate on an “open 
access” basis, in which users may obtain access 
to the system by contributing towards the costs 
of operating, maintaining and, if necessary, 
expanding the system

1.3.5. Regulación medioambiental 

Chile has numerous laws, regulations, decrees 
and municipal ordinances that address 
environmental considerations.  Among them 
are regulations relating to waste disposal, the 
establishment of industries in areas in which 
they may affect public health, and the protection 
of water for human consumption.

There is a law that applies to Non-Conventional 
Renewable Energy, Law N° 20,257, which specifies 
that every electricity company that withdraws 
electricity from the system having an installed 
capacity of over 200 MW to commercialize 
with distributors or final customers, 10% of 
such withdrawals must be injected by means of 
non-conventional renewable generation. The 
aforementioned will be 5% from 2010 thru 2014, 
increasing 0.5% every year starting in 2015. This 
progressive increase will be applied, so that, the 
withdrawals subject to this obligation in 2015 
must comply with 5.5%, those of 2016 with 6% and 
so on until reaching 10% in 2024.

The Colombian electricity sector was reformed 
structurally by Laws 142 and 143 of 1994.  
According to Law 143 of 1994, different economic, 
public, private or mixed agents may participate 
in the sector’s activities, and shall be allowed 
to develop their operations in a context of free 
market competition.  In order to operate or start 
up projects, they must obtain the environmental, 
sanitation and water-right permits from the 
competent authorities and the permits of a 
municipal nature that are required.  

The Wholesale Electricity Market in Colombia 
(MEM in its Spanish acronym) is based on a 
competitive market model and operates under 
open access principles.  The MEM relies for its 
effective operation on a central agency known as 
the Colombian Administrator of the Commercial 
Exchange System (ASIC in its Spanish acronym).

There are two categories of agents, generators and 
traders, who are allowed to buy and sell electricity 
as well as related products in the MEM.  

The generation sector is organized on a 
competitive basis, with independent generators 
selling their output on the spot market 
or through private contracts with large 
customers.  Generation companies are required 
to participate in the MEM with all of their 
generation plants or units connected to the 
Colombian system with capacities equivalent 
to or exceeding 20 MW (power plants with a 
capacity between 10 and 20 MW can choose to 
participate)

Generation companies declare their energy 
availability and the price at which they are 
willing to sell it.  This electricity is centrally 
dispatched by the National Dispatch Center 
(CND in its Spanish acronym).

 Commercialization or trading consists of 
intermediation between the players that 
provide electricity generation, transmission 
and distribution services and the users of these 
services, whether or not that activity is carried out 
together with other electricity-sector activities.

108     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

Electricity transactions in the MEM may be carried 
out in the Energy spot market (short term or daily 
market); by means of Bilateral contracts (long term 
market); and/or by offering Firm energy.

Transmission operates under monopoly 
conditions and with a guaranteed annual 
fixed income that is determined by the new 
replacement value of the networks and 
equipment and by the resulting value of 
bidding processes awarding new projects for 
the expansion of the National Transmission 
System (SNT in its Spanish acronym).  This 
value is allocated among the traders of the SNT 
in proportion to their energy demand. The 
National Interconnected System El Sistema 
Interconectado Nacional (SIN in its Spanish 
acronym) serves 98% of the country’s demand. 
Non connected regional systems provide 
electricity to isolated areas of the country.

Distribution is defines as the operation of local 
distribution and regional transmission. Any 
customer may have access to a distribution 
network paying a connection fee. The 
distributors or network operators are responsible 
for planning, investing, operating and 
maintaining the electricity networks. 

1.4.2. Generation regulation

The State of Colombia as well as the private 
sector, may participate in the execution and 
exploitation of generation projects. The nation is 
only authorized to sign concession agreements 

relating to generation when there is no entity 
prepared to carry out these activities on 
comparable conditions.

The wholesale market facilitates the sale of 
excess energy that has not been committed under 
contracts.  In the wholesale market, an hourly 
spot price for all dispatched units is established 
based on the offering price of the highest price 
unit dispatched for that period.  The National 
Dispatch Center, CND in its Spanish acronym, 
receives price bids each day from all the 
generators participating in the wholesale market.  
These bids indicate prices and the hourly 
available capacity for the following day.  Based on 
this information, the CND, guided by an optimal 
dispatch principle (which assumes an infinite 
transmission capacity of the network), ranks 
the optimized dispatch for the 24-hour period, 
taking into account initial operating conditions, 
and determining which generators will be 
dispatched the following day in order to satisfy 
expected demand.  The price for all generators is 
set as the price of the most expensive generator 
dispatched in each hourly period under the 
optimal dispatch.  

Additionally, the CND plans the dispatch, 
which takes into account the limitations of the 
network, as well as other conditions necessary 
to satisfy the energy demand expected for the 
following day in a safe, reliable and efficient 
from a cost point of view. The cost differences 
between the “planned dispatch” and the “ideal 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  109

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

dispatch” are called “restriction costs.”  The 
cost of each limitation is initially assigned to 
the agent responsible of the restriction. When it 
is not possible to identify the agent, the costs is 
assigned proportionally to all the traders within 
the Colombian system, according to their energy 
demand, and these costs are passed through to 
the end customers.  

Generators connected to the Colombian system 
can also receive “reliability payments” which are 
a result of the Firm Capacity Obligation (OEF 
in Its Spanish acronym) that they provide to the 
system.  The OEF is a commitment on the part 
of generation companies backed by its physical 
resources capable of producing firm energy during 
scarcity periods (for hydro plants it is estimated 
to be the maximum electricity that a power plant 
is able to deliver on a continuous basis during a 
year, under extreme water flow conditions and 
for thermal plants It is estimated according to Its 
historical availability and the guaranteed amount 
and transportation of fuel). The generator that 
acquires an OEF will receive a fixed compensation 
during the commitment period, whether or not the 
fulfillment of its obligation is required.  The OEF 
for new projects are assigned through tenders for 
which generators must declare and certify their 
firm capacity. Existing generators may decide 
to participate in such bids or tenders accepting 
the resulting price. The assignment to existing 
generators is performed annually and in the case 
of new projects, for up to 20 years. When there are 
no bids, the assignment of OEF is carried out by 
the regulator proportionally according to the firm 
capacity declared by each generator. 

The price for each KWh of the OEF corresponds to 
the clearing price of the bid in which the generator 
sold its firm energy or Reliability Charge.  When 
this firm energy is required, which happens when 
the Spot Price surpasses the Scarcity Price, in 
addition to the Reliability Charge the generator 
also receives the Scarcity Price for each kWh 
generated associated with its OEF.  When energy 
generated is greater than the obligation specified 
in the OEF, this additional energy will be paid or 
rewarded at the Spot Price.

1.4.3. Distribution regulation

Distribution charges are set by CREG for each 
company based on the replacement cost of the 
existing distribution assets, the cost of capital, 
as well as operational and maintenance costs of 

each company for four different levels of voltage, 
that is: Level 1 up to1 kV, Level 2 up to 30kV, Level 
3 up to 57.5 kV and Level IV up to 115 kV. Voltage 
levels 1, 2 and 3 are called Local Distribution 
Systems (SDL In its Spanish acronym) and Level 
4 is called Regional Transmission System (STR in 
its Spanish acronym).

During 2009, after auditing the information 
reported by the companies, CREG defined the 
distribution charges applicable until 2013. Charges 
are set for a five-year period, and are updated 
monthly according to the price Index. The rate of 
return for local distribution assets was set by CREG 
at 13.9%, before taxes, and at 13% for Regional 
Transmission assets, based on the WACC/CAPM 
methodology. The methodology for the calculation 
of distribution charges includes incentives for 
administrative, operating and maintenance costs, 
service quality and energy losses

1.4.4. Regulación en transmisión 

The transmission networks that operate at least 
220 kV from the National Transmission System 
(STN in Its Spanish acronym). The transmission 
toll includes a charge to cover the cost of 
operating facilities, and a charge related to usage 
which only applies to traders which pass the cost 
through to final customers. 

CREG guarantees an annual fixed income to 
transmission companies.  Income is determined 
by the new replacement value of the network 
and equipment and at the value resulting of 
bidding processes awarding new projects for the 
expansion of the STN.  This value is allocated 
among the traders of the STN in proportion to 
their energy demand.

The construction, operation and maintenance 
of new projects is awarded to the company that 
offers the lowest present value of future cash 
flows needed to develop the project. 

1.4.5. Trading regulation

The trading market is divided into regulated 
and unregulated customers.  Customers in the 
unregulated market may freely contract their 
electricity supply directly from a generator or 
a distributor, acting as traders, or from a pure 
trader.  The unregulated customer market is 
composed by customers with a peak demand in 
excess of 0.1 MW or a minimum monthly energy 
consumption of 55 MWh.

110     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

Trading may be conducted by generators, 
distributors or independent agents, which comply 
with certain requirements.  Parties freely agree 
upon trading prices for unregulated customers.

Traders of Electricity are responsible of billing 
the costs of electricity to final customers and 
transfer those payments to the industry agents. 
Trading on behalf of regulated customers is subject 
to the “regulated freedom regime” under which 
tariffs are set by each trader using a combination 
of general cost formulas given by CREG and 
individual trading costs approved by CREG for 
each trader.  Tariffs include, among other things, 
energy procurement costs, transmission charges, 
distribution charges and a trading margin.

In addition, the final costs of the service are 
affected by subsidies or contributions that are 
applied according to the socio-economic level of 
each user.  

The trading tariff formula became effective on 
February 1, 2008.  The main changes to this 
formula are the establishment of a fixed monthly 
charge and the introduction of a charge for the 
costs of reducing non-technical energy losses in the 
trading charges.  In addition, CREG allows traders 
in the regulated market to choose tariff options to 
manage tariff increases

1.4.6. Regulación medioambiental 

The legal framework of environmental 
regulation in Colombia was established in Law 
99/1993, which also created the Ministry of 
the Environment as the authority to define 
environmental policies.  The Ministry defines 
issues and executes policies and regulations that 
focus on the recovery, conservation, protection, 
organization, administration and use of 
renewable resources.

Any entity planning to develop projects or 
activities relating to generation, interconnection, 
transmission or distribution of electricity that 
may result in environmental deterioration must 
first obtain an environmental license.

According to Law N°99, generation power plants 
that have a total installed capacity greater than 
10 MW must contribute to the conservation 
of the environment through a payment, at 
a regulated tariff, to the municipalities and 
environmental corporations where their 
power plants are located.  Hydroelectric power 
plants must pay 6% of their generation and 

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

thermoelectric plants must pay 4% of their 
generation, with tariffs that are determined 
annually.  

The National Development Plan 2010-2014 
issued Law 1,450 of 2011.  The plan establishes 
that between 2010 and 2014, the government 
must develop on environmental sustainability 
and risk prevention issues.

In 2011, Institutional Decree 3,570 established 
the new structure of the environmental sector, 
creating the Ministry of Environment and 
Sustainable Development (previously, the 
functions of the Ministry of Environment were 
established along with functions of the Ministry 
of Housing).  

During the last few years, the environmental 
regulation for the electricity sector has been 
focused on regulating aspects regarding power 
plant emissions, hydro policies (including 
water discharges and basin organization), and 
environmental licensing and penalties.

1.5. Peru  

1.5.1. Industry structure

The main characteristics of the electricity 
industry in Peru are (i) the separation of the 
three main activities: generation, transmission 
and distribution; (ii) free market for the supply 
of electricity in competitive market conditions; 
(iii) a system of regulated prices based on the 
principle of efficiency with a bidding regime; 
and (iv) privatization of the operation of 
interconnected electricity systems subject to the 
principles of efficiency and service quality.

There is one interconnected system, the National 
Interconnected Electricity System (SEIN in its 
Spanish acronym), and several isolated smaller 
regional systems that provide electricity to 
specific areas.

1.5.2. Generation regulation 

Generation companies that own or operate a 
power plant with an installed capacity greater 
than 500 kW require a concession granted by the 
Ministry of Energy and Mining (MINEM in its 
Spanish acronym).  A concession for electricity 
generation is an agreement between the 
generator and MINEM, while an authorization 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  111

2012 Annual Report Regulatory framework of the industry 

is merely a unilateral permit granted by said 
public entity.  Authorizations are granted by 
the MINEM for an unlimited period of time, 
although their expiration is subject to the 
same considerations and requirements as the 
termination of concessions under the procedures 
set forth in the Law of Electricity Concessions, 
and its related regulations.

The coordination of electricity dispatch, 
spot price determination and the control and 
management of economic transactions that 
take place in the SEIN are controlled by the 
Committee of Economic Operation of the 
System (COES-SINAC in its Spanish acronym).  
Generators may sell energy directly to large 
customers and buy the deficit or transfer the 
surplus between contracted energy and actual 
production in the pool market at the spot price.

Sales to unregulated customers are carried 
out at mutually agreed prices and conditions, 
which include tolls and compensation for the 
use of transmission systems and, if necessary, to 
distribution companies for the use of their network.

Sales to distributors can be signed under bilateral 
contracts at a price no greater than the regulated 
price in the case of regulated customers, or 
at an agreed price in the case of unregulated 
customers.  In addition to the bilateral method 
allowed by the Law of Electricity Concessions, 
Law 28,832 has also established the possibility 
that distributors meet their unregulated or 
regulated customers’ demand under contracts 
signed following a capacity and energy supply 
bidding process.

The Law to Secure the Efficient Development 
of Electricity Generation established a bidding 
regime for the purchase of energy and capacity 
by distributors through a mechanism that 
determines prices during the life of a contract.  
The approval of this mechanism is important 
to generators, because it sets a mechanism to 
determine a price for the duration of a contract 
that is not fixed by the regulator, and that can be 
subscribed for up to 20 years.

The new contracts to sell energy to distribution 
companies for resale to regulated customers 
must be made at fixed prices determined by 

public bids.  Only a small part of the electricity 
purchased by distribution companies, included 
in old contracts, is still maintained at node 
prices, which are set annually by the Supervising 
Entity on Investment in Energy and Mining 
(Osinergmin in its Spanish acronym). In these 
contracts, the transfer price to regulated 
customers may be the maximum price for 
electricity purchased by distribution companies.

In Peru, the payment received for capacity, 
given by the return for the development of a 
gas turbine, is the marginal unit to supply the 
demand of the system. The rate of return for the 
Industry Is 12%. The capacity payment received 
gives generators a fixed revenue for availability 
and contribute to the country’s back up margin.

1.5.3. Distribution regulation 

The regulated customers´ electricity tariff 
includes capacity and energy charges 
for generation and transmission and the 
Distribution Value Added (VAD in its Spanish 
acronym) which considers a regulated return 
on investments, fixed charges for operating and 
maintenance and a standard percent for energy 
distribution losses.

The VAD is set every four years.  Osinergmin 
classifies companies into groups, according 
to “typical distribution areas,” based on 
economic factors that group companies with 
similar distribution costs due to population 
density, which determines network equipment 
requirements.

The real return on investment for a distribution 
company depends on its performance relative 
to the standards given by the Osinergmin for a 
theoretical model company.  The tariff system 
allows for a greater return to distribution 
companies that are more efficient than the model 
company.  Preliminary tariffs are calculated 
as a middle point between the results of the 
Osinergmin commissioned study and the 
companies’ study. Preliminary tariffs are tested 
to ensure that they provide an average annual 
internal rate of return between 8% and 16% 
on the replacement cost of electricity-related 
distribution assets. Peruvian law establishes a 
12% return for the industry.

los clientes. La concesionaria de transmisión 
recibe un ingreso anual fijo, así como también 
ingresos de tarifas variables y tarifas de conexión 
por kW. Las líneas del sistema secundario y 
complementario están disponibles para todas las 
generadoras, pero se utilizan únicamente para 
ciertos clientes que son responsables de efectuar 
los pagos en relación con el uso del sistema, 
éstas se remuneran a un valor fijo a 20 años, 
revisándose sólo las inversiones adicionales.

1.5.5. Environmental regulation 

The environmental legal framework applicable 
to energy related activities in Peru is set forth in 
the Environmental Law (Law 28,611) and in the 
Environmental Protection for Electricity Activities 
Regulation (Supreme Decree 029-94-EM).  

In 2008, the MINEM issued Supreme Decree 
050-2008 to promote non-conventional 
renewable energy generation (ERNC in its 
Spanish acronym).  This decree states that 5% 
of the SEIN´s demand must be supplied by using 
ERNC. This 5% goal may increase every 5 years. 
The technologies considered to be renewable 
resources are: biomass, wind, tidal, geothermal, 
solar and mini-hydro (hydroelectricity plants 
under 20MW)

The last process for setting distribution tariffs 
was held in November 2009 and will be in effect 
until November 2013.

Transmission activities are divided into two 
categories:  main or primary, which are for common 
use and allow the flow of electricity through 
the national grid; and secondary, which are the 
activities related to the lines that connect a power 
plant to the system or that connects a substation 
to a distribution company or to a final customer. 
Primary transmission lines, belonging to the 
guaranteed transmission systems, are available 
to all generators and allow supplying electricity 
to all customers.  Transmission concessionaires 
receive annual fixed revenue, as well as variable 
tariff revenues and connection tolls per kW.  The 
secondary and complementary system lines are 
accessible to all generators but are used to serve 
only certain customers who are responsible for 
making payments related to their use of the system. 
These receive a 20 year fixed value payment, 
reviewing only for additional Investments.

1.5.4. Regulación en transmisión 

Las actividades de transmisión se dividen en 
dos categorías: principal, que es para uso común 
y permite el flujo de energía a través de la red 
nacional; y secundaria, que es de aquellas líneas 
que conectan a una central eléctrica con el 
sistema, o una subestación con una compañía 
distribuidora o un consumidor final. Las 
líneas principales y del sistema garantizado 
están disponibles para todas las generadoras y 
permiten que se suministre electricidad a todos

1. Electricity generation

2. Electricity transmission

The electricity generation business is conducted 
primarily through our subsidiary Endesa 
Chile. In this segment, the Enersis Group has 
operating subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, 
Chile, Colombia and Peru.  

The electricity transmission business of the 
Enersis Group is related to the interconnection 
line between Argentina and Brazil, through 
CIEN, a subsidiary of Endesa Brazil, with 2,100 
MW transportation capacity. 

In all, the installed capacity of the Enersis 
Group amounted to 15,173 MW as of December 
2012 and consolidated electricity generation 
reached 58,694 GWh, while energy sales totaled 
66,311 GWh.

In the electricity industry, the segmentation 
of the business between hydroelectric and 
thermal generation is natural as the variable 
costs of generation are different for each form 
of generation. Thermal generation requires 
the purchase of fossil fuels and hydroelectric 
generation needs water from reservoirs and rivers.

57% of our consolidated generating capacity 
comes from hydroelectric sources while 42% is 
thermal and 1% wind sources. 

Therefore, the commercial policy the generation 
company defines is relevant to managing the 
business adequately.

3. Electricity distribution

Our electricity distribution business is carried 
out through Edesur in Argentina, Ampla and 
Coelce (owned by Endesa Brasil) in Brazil, 
Chilectra in Chile, and Codensa in Colombia and 
Edelnor in Peru. Our principal subsidiaries and 
related distribution companies sold 73,104 GWh 
during 2012. 

Currently, Edesur, Ampla, Coelce, Chilectra, 
Codensa and Edelnor serve the main Latin 
America cities, providing electricity to over 14 
million customers. 

These companies faced growing electricity 
demand, obliging them to invest on a permanent 
basis, responding to natural growth and the 
maintenance of their facilities.

4. Argentina

4.1. Electricity generation

Enersis participates in electricity generation 
in Argentina through Endesa Costanera and 
Hidroelectrica El Chocón, in which it controls 
directly and indirectly, a 41.8% and 39.2% of 
ownership, respectively.

These companies have a total of five power 
plants, with total installed capacity of 3,652 MW. 
This capacity represented in 2012, 12% of the 
installed capacity of the argentine SIN. 

Electricity generation of the Enersis Group 
reached 11,289 GWh, 9.0% of the country total 
generation, with hydroelectricity representing 
24.8%. Physical sales of electricity reached 11,852 
GWh, 10% of total sales.

Endesa Costanera and El Chocón participate 
in companies in charge of the operation of two 
combined cycles, initiative coordinated by the 
Fondo para Inversiones Necesarias que Permitan 
Incrementar la Oferta de Energía Eléctrica en el 
Mercado Eléctrico Mayorista (FONINVEMEN in 
its Spanish acronym), with a 5.326% and 18.85% 
share of property, respectively. 

The commercial operation as combined cycles 
of Termoelectrica Manuel Belgrano and 
Termoelectrica San Martín began in 2010. 

The operation as a combined cycle determined 
the effective date of the Operation and 
Management of Plant Maintenance Contract 
and the Supply Contract, and for this reason, the 
companies that participate in FONINVEMEM, 
among them, Endesa Costanera and El Chocón, 
began to recover their credits with the cash 
flows generated by the Project, through a ten 
year contract to sell its generation to the MEM, 
managed by CAMMESA, having received, as of 
December 31, 2012, the payments according to 
expectations.

With regard to the agreement signed on 
November 25, 2010 by the Secretary of Energy 
and the main electricity generation companies, 
among them Costanera and Chocon, it is worth 
mentioning that the companies along with the 
generators participating in the new generation 
project, presented the relevant documentation 

to the Secretary of Energy. The project named 
Vuelta de Obligado S.A. (VOSA in its Spanish 
acronym) considers the installation of a roughly 
800 MW combined cycle.

In May 2011, the company Termoeléctrica 
Vuelta de Obligado S.A was incorporated and the 
necessary trust was signed.

After being approved by the authority, work 
during the year involved determining technical 
specifications and inviting to an international 
tender, which is currently in the evaluation and 
homologation phase.

Other generators connected to the argentine SIN 
are: AES Alicura, SADESA, Capex, Petrobras, 
Pampa Generación and Pluspetrol.

4.1.1. Endesa Costanera

Endesa Costanera Is located in the city of 
Buenos Aires and owns six steam turbine 
power units totaling 1,138 MW that can operate 
with natural gas or fuel oil. The company also 
operates two combined cycles of 859 MW and 
327 MW respectively, reaching 2,324 MW total 
installed capacity.   

In 2012, net generation reached 8,488 GWh 
and sales totaled 8,655 GWh. During 2012, the 
demand of the Argentine electricity system 
Increased 4.2% when compared to 2011. 

During 2012, the thermal figures in summer 
and winter were as usual. In February, capacity 
demand reached 21,949 MW, breaking the 2011 
record by 1.8%. 

The water flows of the river Limay and Collon 
Cura basins were substantially reduced as of 
May, leading to a dry year scenario in such 
basins. The availability of gas was similar to 
previous years, basically due to major shortages 
during the winter season, and therefore reaching 
high levels of generation using alternate liquid 
fuels to satisfy growing thermal dispatch. 

Worth mentioning, is the Government’s 
announcement, in August 2012, with respect 
to future changes to the electricity generation, 
transmission and distribution regulation, 
including modifications to the “marginal” system 
currently in force to determine generation prices 
towards a new model based on the costs of each 
generator plus a reasonable rate of return.  

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  119

2012 Annual Report Description of the electricity business by country

In terms of operations, during 2012, the most 
importance maintenance activities were those 
mainly focused on the development of the 2013 
Summer Plan, which began in November 2012, 
which included the inspection of Unit 6 and the 
ancilliary services common to all conventional 
units and the Major Maintenance of the 
Combined Cycle I.

With respect to financing, the financial strategy 
adopted in previous years continued, prioritizing a 
conservative management of financial resources to 
assure the adequate operation of the power plant. 

Regarding commercial aspects, we continued 
making an important effort to maintain and 
even increase, the level of contracts in the Term 
Market (MAT in its Spanish acronym). 

With respect to the “Management and Operation 
of Projects, Increase of Thermal Generation 
Availability and Adaptation of Remuneration of 
Generation 2008-2011 Agreement”, formalized 
by generators and the Secretary of Energy in 
November 2010, it was not acknowledged by the 
Secretary of Energy during 2012, which adversely 
affected the operating results of the Company. 

plan of approximately U$S304 million, over 
a period of 7 years, to optimize reliability and 
availability of the generation units of the power 
plant which will lead to an increase in generation 
and important cost savings of the system.

The plan provides for the execution of works in 
the steam turbo technology units, others works 
and short, medium, and long term investments 
necessary to assure the operations of the 
power plant, as well as the continuity of the 
maintenance contracts of the Mitsubishi and 
Siemens combined cycles.  

The financial resources required to finance 
this investment plan will come from the 
outcome of two Commitment of Availability of 
MEM Equipment Contracts, to be subscribed 
by CAMMESA y Costanera, according to 
instructions of the Secretary of Energy. On 
December 19, 2012, and on January 18, 2013, 
the “Commitment of Availability of Combined 
Cycles for the MEM Contract” and the 
“Commitment of Availability of Steam Turbo 
(TV in its Spanish acronym) Equipment for the 
MEM Contract” respectively, was signed by 
CAMMESA and Endesa Costanera”.

Worth noting, is the Agreement formalized 
in October 2012 between Costanera and the 
Secretary of Energy, to implement an investment 

At December 31, 2012, Endesa Costanera has 
$340.8 million negative equity due to recurring 
losses, among other reasons, as a consequence 

120     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Description of the electricity business by country

of the growing deficit between revenues and 
expenses, resulting from existing regulation. This 
situation has led to request the corresponding 
authorities to reconsider in order to adopt 
measures that would allow reverting the situation. 

4.1.2. Hidroeléctrica El Chocón

Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. (“HECSA In its 
Spanish acronym) is a hydroelectric generation 
company that operates the waters of, El Chocón 
and Arroyito, located above the Limay River. It 
is located in Neuquén and Río Negro provinces. 
The hydroelectric complex has total installed 
capacity of 1.328 MW, and includes El Chocón 
power plant with 1.200 MW installed capacity 
(artificial reservoir hydroelectric power plant) 
and Arroyito with 1.200 MW installed capacity, 
both using the water flows of rivers Limay and 
Collón Curá to generate.

The hydroelectric facility El Chocón is located 
in the Comahue region, formed by the Argentine 
provinces Rio Negro, Neuquen and the southern 
part of provinces Buenos Aires and La Pampa. 
The Chocon is located on the Limay River, some 
80 km upstream from its confluence with the 
Neuquén River. Arroyito is El Chocón’s dike and 
is located on the same river 25 km downstream.

During 2012, the water flows in the basins 
of rivers Limay and Collón Curá declined 

substantially as of May, profiling a dry year 
in such basins, and therefore the operational 
criteria applied by the Organism in Charge 
of Dispatch restricted the use of the strategic 
reserves accumulated. This led to the 
consolidation of the energy reserves of the 
Comahue. 

As the result of the dispatch of El Chocon 
reservoir, at the end of year 2012 net generation 
of the El Chocón–Arroyito Complex was 2,801 
GWh, marked a reservoir depth of 374.89 
m.s.n.m. The energy reserves of the Comahue 
reservoirs reached 5,279 GWh, of which 
1,832 GWh should be generated by Chocón, 
both figures measured with respect to the 
Extraordinary Operations minimum depth level.

In terms of operations, the accumulated 
availability of the El Chocón–Arroyito Complex 
in 2012 was 98.9% having satisfactorily 
completed the Programmed Major Maintenance 
of Central Arroyito Turbogrupo Nº2. This Major 
Maintenance implied an overall revision and 
maintenance of the turbine, generator, vibration 
systems, protections, electric and mechanical 
equipment and the main transformer. An Anti-
fire systems was also installed in Units Nº 1, 3, 4, 
5 and 6 of El Chocón Power Plant and a vibration 
monitor installed in Units Nº 3, 4 and 5 of the 
same Power Plant. 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  121

2012 Annual Report Description of the electricity business by country

Regarding commercial aspects, we continued 
with the strategy defined opportunely focused on 
assuring economic and financial sustainability 
of the company, oriented our actions 
towards diversifying our customer base by 
commercializing in other non-spot markets and 
prioritizing long term profitable relationships 
with financially solid customers.

As the result of the managing practices carried 
out over the past years, the company reached 
and maintained 98% of capacity contracted to 
large customers in the terms market, with a 
high percentage of contracts signed for terms 
above one year with first class customers. Sales 
in the spot market reached 1,886 GWh and in the 
contract market 1,311 GWh during 2012.

In terms of regulation, during 2012, the changes 
to the norms that regulate the Wholesale 
Electricity Market (MEM) remained in force and 
the accumulation of amounts due to generators 
due to delays in the payment of electricity sold to 
the Spot Market continued. 

In August 2012, the Government announced 
future changes to the electricity generation, 
transmission and distribution regulation, 
including modifications to the “marginal” system 
currently in force to determine generation prices 
towards a new model based on the costs of each 
generator plus a reasonable rate of return. Since 
the announcement, the Government has not 
issued any rules to change the current regulation.  

Regarding the agreement formalized on 
November 25, 2010, between the secretary of 

Energy and the main electricity generation 
companies, including HECSA, and additionally, 
in January 2012, the Secretary of Energy through 
Norm S.E. Nº 495/12 instructed to not apply, 
until further notice, the incremental payments of 
O&M and Capacity recognized in the Generation 
Agreement, which was rejected HECSA.

With respect to Finances, the Company, aware of 
the complex scenario in the electricity industry, 
made a partial US$ 25.8 million payment of its debt.

 The two new credit facilities obtained, are also 
worth mentioning, one $10 million one year loan 
from the Banco Hipotecario, payable in twelve 
monthly and consecutive installments, at the 
Adjusted Private Badlarrate plus a 5.5% spread, 
and a 180 day Bank Account Agreement with  
Banco Macro for $20 million, at an 18% fixed 
interest rate.  In December this last operation 
was renewed with similar conditions. 

The main investment projects that are expected 
to be developed are: i) Modernization of the 
Protections, Vibration and Startup/Stop 
Sequence Systems of Units 1; 2; 5 and 6 and 
the main transformers T1CH and T5CH of the 
El Chocón Power Plant, ii) Completion of the 
installation of “on line” Vibration Monitoring 
equipment of Units 1 and 6 of El Chocón Power 
Plant. Also, the improvements performed in 2012 
to the technological update of the remote control 
of the Arroyito damn Project, Stage 3, which 
was approved by the Secretary of Energy, are 
expected to be completed.

4.2. Electricity distribution

Enersis participates in electricity distribution in 
Argentina through its subsidiary Edesur in which 
it has a 65.4% direct and indirect shareholding.

2007, the electricity regulatory authority (ENRE 
in its Spanish acronym) resolved to extend the 
initial period by five years, as of the completion of 
the tariff renegotiation process (RTI in its Spanish 
acronym).

Market share of our Argentine subsidiary, in 
terms of physical sales, was approximately 20%.

Other distributors in the Argentine electricity 
system are: Empresa Jujeña de Energía 
(EJESA in its Spanish acronym), Empresa de 
Distribución de Energía de Tucumán (EDET in 
its Spanish acronym), Empresa Distribuidora 
de Energía de Santiago del Estero (EDESE in 
its Spanish acronym), Empresa Distribuidora y 
Comercializadora Norte (EDENOR in its Spanish 
acronym) and Empresa de Distribución de la 
Plata (EDELAP in its Spanish acronym).

4.2.1. Edesur

The principal objective of Edesur is to distribute 
and commercialize electricity in the southern part 
of greater Buenos Aires, comprising two-thirds of 
the city of Buenos Aires and twelve districts of the 
province of Buenos Aires, covering 3,309 sq.km 
for a period of 95 years beginning August 31, 1992. 

The concession contract establishes the 
obligation of Edesur to supply electricity at 
the request of the owners or inhabitants of 
properties within its concession area, meet 
certain quality standards related to electricity 
supplied, and comply with operational 
requirements with respect to the maintenance 
of the distribution assets and bill customers on 
the basis of effective metering.

transmission and trading of electricity in Brazil 
with the interconnection line between Argentina 
and Brazil, through the company, CIEN, in which 
it has a 54.3% holding.

5.2.1. Endesa Cien

Compañía de Interconexión Energética S.A. 
(CIEN in its Spanish acronym) is a Brazilian 
energy transmission company. It is formed by 
two frequency conversion stations, Garabi I 
and Garabi II, which convert the frequencies 
of Brazil (60 Hertz) and Argentina (50 Hertz) 
in both directions, and transmission lines. On 
the Argentine side, they are managed by two 
subsidiaries: Compañía de Transmisión del 
Mercosur S.A. (CTM in its Spanish acronym) 
and Transportadora de Energía S.A. (TESA in 
its Spanish acronym). Endesa Cien has 100.00% 
shareholdings in each. 

The interconnection system consists of two 
transmission lines with a total length of 1,000 
kilometers and the Garabi conversion station.

On April 5, 2011 the figures that define the annual 
value of the Annual Permitted Revenue (RAP) 
for CIEN were published in the Official Journal. 
With this, the regulator has leveled CIEN (whose 
assets are the Garabi lines 1 and 2), to other 
transmission concessionaires. Total annual RAP 
is adjusted annually, and tariff revision processes 
take place every four years. Since April 2011, 
CIEN is officially authorized to receive payment 
under this new business vision.

5.3. Distribución eléctrica

Enersis participates in distribution through 
Endesa Brazil and its subsidiaries Ampla and 
Coelce. Enersis directly and indirectly has 70.2% 
and 35.2% shareholdings in these companies, 
respectively.

The market share of our subsidiaries in Brazil, in 
terms of physical sales, was approximately 5%.

The Brazilian electricity system is formed by 64 
distribution companies, among them are: CPFL, 
Brasiliana de Energía, AES Elpa, Cemig, Light, 
Coelba and Copel.

5.3.1. Ampla

Ampla is an electricity distribution company that 
covers 73.3% of the territory of the state of Rio 
de Janeiro, corresponding to an area of 32,613 sq. 
km. The population is approximately 8 million 
spread out in 66 districts, of which the most 
important are Niteroi, São Gonçalo, Petrópolis, 
Campos and Cabo Frio. 

During 2012, Ampla supplied electricity to 
2,712,359 customers, 2.6% more than in 2011. 
Of this total, 90% are residential customers, 6% 
commercial customers, and 4% other customers.

The Company distributed 10,816 GWh to its 
final customers; representing an increase of 
approximately 6% when compared to 2011. 
Of total electricity distributed, 40% went to 
residential customers, 20% to commercial, 9% 
to industrial and 31% to other customers (which 
includes the 14% of customers paying tolls). 

Since 2003, Ampla has emphasized fighting 
against commercial losses, reducing it by 4.01 
percentage points (from: 23.64% to: 19.63%). The 
sustained reduction is only possible as the result 

of the joint success of the projects developed by 
Ampla (using technology and social behavior). 
For several years, the company has won awards 
that acknowledge the excellence of its projects.  

Although, today energy losses continue to 
represent one of Ampla’s main challenges. 
It closed 2012 with a 0.03 percentage point 
reduction, going from 19.66% to 19.63% offsetting 
the tremendous aggressiveness in the market, 
which has increased the zones of risk within the 
concession area of the company.   

5.3.2. Coelce

Coelce is the electricity distribution company of 
the state of Ceará, in north-eastern Brazil, and 
covers a 149 sq.km concession area. The company 
serves a population of more than 8 million 
people.

Distributor of Brazil (Abradee Award) and Latin 
America (CIER Award), both for the fourth 
consecutive time.

At year-end 2012, Coelce had 3,338,163 
customers, which represented a 3.5% increase 
compared to the number of customers at that 
date the previous year. Of the total amount, 73% 
are residential, 13% rural, 5% commercial, and 
the rest other customers. 

Sales of electricity in 2012 reached 9,878 GWh, 
a 10.1% increase when compared to 2011.  The 
types of consumption that affected this growth 
were: rural customers increased 35% due to the 
lack of rainfall during the year leading to greater 
use of electric pumps for watering; toll paying 
customers increased 17%; public institutions 
15%; and finally, residential and commercial 
customers increased 9% each. Industrial 
customers, on the other hand, declined 7%.

6. Chile

6.1. Electricity generation

Enersis participates in electricity generation 
through Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries, the 
largest electricity generation company in the 
country in terms of installed capacity, in which 
Enersis has a direct 60% shareholding.

Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries own and 
operate a total of twenty-eight generating 
power plants, sixteen of them hydroelectric, ten 
thermal and two wind farms, adding up to a total 
installed capacity of 5,961 MW, representing 
32.7% of Chile’s total capacity.

Electricity generation by the Enersis Group 
reached 20,194 GWh in 2012, 55% hydroelectric, 
which represented 34% of the total amount 
generated by the company in the region.  Physical 
energy sales in Chile amounted to 21,227 GWh, 
equivalent to 32% of the Group´s total sales in 
Latin America.  

The Central Interconnected System, for the third 
consecutive year, was affected by dry hydrology 
conditions. Due to these conditions, in early 
2011, a preventive rationing decree was adopted, 
which was extended until august 28, 2012. This 
situation, in addition to the high price of fuels 
used for electricity generation and the delay in 
the startup of two low production cost coal power 
plants, implied high costs of electricity in the 
SIC during 2012. This situation began to slightly 
change during the second semester of 2012, with 
still insufficient hydrology.

Although these events had an impact on the 
margin of the Company during 2012, they were 
mitigated by the characteristics of the generation 
sector, in terms of size, diversity, productive 
efficiency and the application of a commercial 
policy that has been designed using both 
favorable and unfavorable operation scenarios, 
including dry hydrology conditions such as the 
dry conditions that affected the SIC in 2012, 
and the delays in project development within 
the electricity sector, both in the electricity 
generation and transmission segments.  

Other generators in Chile are: AES Gener, 
Colbún, EC-L, and Noreen.

6.1.1. Endesa Chile

Endesa Chile supplies electricity to the main 
distributors, large non-regulated industrial 
companies (mainly in the mining, wood pulp and 
steel-making sectors) and to other generators 
through the spot market.

With the purpose of maintaining its leadership 
position in the industry and a level of 
commitment consistent with its commercial 
policy, Endesa Chile signed new electricity 
supply contracts to boost its customer base 
and carried out a series of activities with them 
during 2012. 

•	 Contracts	were	signed	with	Saesa,	Frontel,	

Luz Osorno, Coelcha, Copelec, Coopelan, 
Crell, Cooprel and Socoepa through tenders 
for period from 2012 to December 2014. The 
amounts are 308 GWh/year, 704 GWh/year y 
924 GWh/year for years 2012, 2013 and 12014 
respectively. Also, a contract with customer 
ESO La Silla for year 2013, with Emelectric 
(for its customer Minera La Florida) and 
an extension of the supply contract with 
unregulated customer CGE Distribución 
(from December 2012 to December 2015).

•			 Endesa	Chile	continued	its	policy	to	
strengthen its commercial relations 
with its customers, carrying out several 
activities. Within the framework of its 
Overall Customer Service Plan, in July 
2012, customers visited the Pangue and 
Ralco power plants. Seminars took place in 
august for customers in La Serena y Copiapó. 
In September, seminars were offered to 
customers in Concepción and Valdivia.
- 

In the month of November, the “VIII 
Seminar with Customers of Endesa Chile 
y Filiales”, took place, with a high level of 
participation of the representatives of the 
companies which electricity is supplied 
to. There were presentations regarding 
the supply situation, the electricity 
highway, and the Hydro meteorological 
outlook.

-  According to the results of the VIII 

Service Quality Survey, the Customer 
Satisfaction Index reached 80.4%, rating 
the customer base as “Satisfied”. The 
areas that received the best evaluation 
were commercial staff, communication 
channels, and billing process.

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  129

2012 Annual Report Description of the electricity business by country

•	 Endesa	Chile	and	the	company	CMPC	

reached an agreement in the arbitration 
process with respect to the application of the 
supply contract. The terms of the contract 
established that CMPC pay Endesa Chile 
a total of US$ 59.9 million in cash, lower 
consumption, and contributions to non-
conventional renewable energy (ERNC in its 
Spanish acronym).

On the other hand, and aiming to face the 
transmission limitations of the SIC, Endesa 
Chile, in 2012, signed a contract with Transelec 
for the construction “SVS PLUS” in the Diego 
de Almagro substation. This initiative was 
conceived and driven by Endesa Chile, the 
with the purpose of increasing Maitencillo 
transmission system capacity - Cardones 
220 kV by 80 MVA, without building new 
transmission lines. This will allow transmitting 
a greater amount of low cost electricity from 
the central area of the SIC to the northern area 
increasing supply reliability and access to lower 
cost electricity to supply our customers.  The 
companies Guacolda S.A. y AES Gener S.A. also 
participate in this project, which is expected to 
begin operations during the second semester of 
2013. 

As of May 1, 2012, the commitment to supply 
electricity contracted by SAESA and other 
electricity distributors organizations began, 
contract assigned through tenders within the 

framework of dispositions of Law N°20,018, also 
known as the Short Law 2, which introduced 
changes to the General Electric Utility Law. The 
energy committed is 308 GWh/yr., 704 GWh/
yr. y 924 GWh/yr. for years 2012, 2013 and 2014 
respectively.

6.2. Proyectos en estudio

6.2.1. Central Hidroeléctrica Los 
Cóndores

El proyecto Central Hidroeléctrica Los Cóndores 
se emplazará en la Región del Maule, Provincia 
de Talca, Comuna de San Clemente. Contempla 
la construcción de una central hidroeléctrica 
de pasada de aproximadamente 150 MW de 
potencia instalada, con un generación media 
anual de 560 GWh, que aprovecharía las aguas 
del embalse Laguna del Maule, mediante una 
aducción de 12 km de longitud. La central se 
conectaría al SIC mediante un enlace de doble 
circuito en 220 kV entre la Central Los Cóndores 
y la S/E Ancoa, con una longitud de 90 km, 
aproximadamente. 

En mayo de 2012, el proyecto de la línea 
de transmisión obtuvo la aprobación de su 
Resolución de Calificación Ambiental (RCA). 

6.2.2. Central Hidroeléctrica Neltume

The Neltume project will be located in Rivers 
Region, Valdivia province, Panguipulli district. 
It includes the construction of a pass-through 
hydroelectric plant of 490 MW of installed capacity, 
with an average annual generation of 1,880 GWh 
that would take advantage of electricity potential 
of lakes Pirehueico and Neltume.  It would be 
connected to the SIC through a double circuit 220 
kV transmission line, that has been divided in two 
portions, from central Neltume and Pullinque.

The project has finished the stage of basic 
engineering and currently in the process of 
environmental evaluation by the Region´s 
Environmental Assessment Service (SEA in its 
Spanish acronym). During 2012, complementary 
studies were developed to respond to ICSARA 
N°3 which will be presented during the first 
trimester of 2013.

6.2.3. Central Termoeléctrica Punta 
Alcalde

The thermoelectric power plant Punta Alcalde 
project will be located in the Atacama region 
province and district of Huasco, 13 kms south 
of this town. It foresees the construction of a 
thermal plant that will use sub-bituminous 
coal as its main fuel. It will have two blocks of 
370 MW installed capacity each. The power 
plant would be connected to the Maitencillo 
substation using a 220 kV transmission system, 
approximately 40 kms long. 

Endesa Chile presented the project to the 
Environmental Impact Assessment Service in 
2009. During that year and 2011, there was a 
change in the rules regarding emission standards 
which led to make important changes to the 
project. On June 12, 2012, the Environmental 
Assessment Commission (CEA in its Spanish 
acronym) of the Atacama Region decided to 
reject the project.  Endesa Chile therefore filed a 
Recurso de Reclamación al Comité de Ministros.

On December 3, 2012, the Ministers Committee, 
unanimously, decided to revert the decision 
adopted by the CEA of the Atacama Region, 
environmentally approving the project. The 
issuance of the corresponding RCA by the 
Ministers Committee is expected in early 2013.

During 2012, the environmental impact 
study (EIA in its Spanish acronym) for the 
transmission line that will connect the power 
plant to the SIC, has continued aiming to go 
through the environmental assessment process. 

6.2.4. Wind Farm Renaico

The project will be located in the Araucania 
Region, Comuna de Renaico. It includes 44, 95 
meter tall 2MW wind fired turbines, which all 
together will generate 255 GWh/yr. Electricity 
will evacuate through two transmission lines: the 
main transmission line, a simple circuit line, 27 
kms. long in 220kV ending at the Bureo substation 
to be built in the Biobio region, and the second 
line, in 66kV that will connect to the Renaico-
Angol line.

Basic engineering was completed in 2012 and 
two supply contract tenders were launched. The 
Environmental Rating Permits (RCAs) for the 
wind farm and for the 220 kV transmission lines 
were obtained. 

6.2.5. Mini hydroelectric project Piruquina  

The mini hydroelectric power plant project 
Piruquina is located on the island of Chiloe, district 
of Dalcahue. It considers two Kaplan turbines 
and one Francis turbine that would allow using 
the ecological water flow. The power plant has an 
installed capacity of 7.9 MW and an estimated 
average generation of 33.7 GWh/yr. During 2012, 
the project was optimized from a conceptual point 
of view, and civil works were simplified.

6.3. Associates projects 

6.3.1. HidroAysen 

HidroAysen, a company in which Endesa 
Chile has 51% of capital and Colbún S.A. the 
remaining 49%, is developing the construction 
and operation project of five hydroelectric plants 
in the Baker and Pascua rivers, in the Region of 
Aysén.

The power plants will have a total Installed 
capacity of 2,750 MW and a 18,430 GWh average 
annual generation capacity, equivalent to 38% of 
the consumption of the Central Interconnected 
System during 2012, and in 5,910 hectares 
reservoir area, equal to 0.05% of the Aysen 
Region.  

The HidroAysén Project is the most important 
hydroelectric initiative that has ever been 
proposed in Chile, due to its significant 
contribution to the national energy matrix, the 
amount of the investment involved, and due to its 
exceptional efficiency on a worldwide level.

In accordance to dispositions of Law N°19,300, 
the HidroAysen project filed its Environmental 
Impact Assessment (EIA) in August, 2008 and 
after three years of a complete and thorough 
evaluation, it received a favorable RCA in May, 
2011.

Since that moment, the project has focused its 
efforts on the transmission evaluation that will 
allow transporting the electricity generated in 
the five power plants to the main consumption 
areas, and in strengthening its relationship with 
the community of the Aysen Region.  

During 2012, the company ended a long judicial 
process started by persons opposing to the 
projects that intended to paralyze the project 

Enersis 2012 Annual Report  133

2012 Annual Report Description of the electricity business by country

by means of legal instances. In April 2012, the 
Supreme Court of Santiago ruled in favor of 
HidroAysen rejecting the allegations presented 
by the environmental organizations that had 
been previously seen by the Appeals Court of 
Coyhaique and then by the similar Court of Puerto 
Montt, ruling in favor of the Company. With this 
ruling, the highest court in the country endorsed 
the environmental approval of HidroAyeén. 

One of the important events of the year was the 
recommendation presented by Colbun, in May 
2012, to suspend the environmental evaluation of 
the transmission line. Through a Significant Event 
submitted to the Superintendence of Securities 
and Insurance (SVS), the company suggested to the 
Board of Directors, to postpone the submission of 
the transmission line of the HydroAysen project to 
Environmental Approval until there is a consensus 
on the country’s energy policy.

On July 20, 2012, HidroAysen, through a 
public statement, announced that the Board of 
Directors requested that top management of 
the Company perform a series of evaluations 
in order to make a decision regarding Colbun’s 
recommendation. 

In August 2012, HidroAysen restructured its 
top executive level and created a Community 
and Communications Department, based In the 
Aysen region, with the purpose of strengthening 
the relationship between the company and the 
community and foster a transparency, and direct 
dialog with neighbors. 

Since that date, HidroAysen has focused its 
efforts in the region, in complying with the 
commitments entered into with the community, 
respond to their concerns about the project, 
demystifying erroneous information introduced 
by opponents, and mainly, move forward in 
developing a socially viable project.  

Within this context, in December 2012, 
HidroAysen carried out a “Door to Door” 
communication plan in the Coyhaique and 
Puerto Aysen districts, allowing to respond to the 
questions asked by the community and inform 
the neighbor’s regarding the commitments in 
terms of benefits for the region.  

The work plan allowed visiting 11,131 homes 
in Coyhaique and Puerto Aysen, equivalent to 
60% of the population of both cities, with the 
participation of 60 people, 40 employees of the 
company and 20 people from the area, including 
young people receiving a grant from the project, 
and social organization leaders.  Thanks to this 
effort, it was possible to realize how interested the 
community is in knowing more about the project. 
One of the most popular subjects among the 
neighbors was the project’s commitment to give 
them the cheap energy benefit, aiming towards 
reducing the electricity bill of the residents of 
Aysen by 50%, when compared to their levels of 
tariffs and demand in 2011.   It is a commitment 
that HidroAysen acquired voluntarily with the 
region and that today is an obligation for the 
company, and considered in the Environmental 
Rating Permit (RCA) of the project. 

Also, the main benefits that the project brings 
to the development of the region were informed, 
such as employment opportunities, benefits in 
education and important infrastructure projects 
that will remain in the region forever and 
contribute to its development and connectivity.  

Giving continuity to its community relations 
policy, during 2012, HidroAysen remained firm 
in its commitment to education in the region, 
awarding 45 scholarships to attend technical 
education for people from Coyhaique and the 
Capitán Prat Province, benefitting, over the past 
five years, nearly 197 students.

6.4. Electricity distribution

Enersis participates in electricity distribution in 
Chile through its subsidiary Chilectra in which 
it directly holds 99.1% of the share capital. The 
market share of our subsidiaries in Chile, in 
terms of physical sales, was approximately 20%.

According to Chile’s tariff regulations governing 
the activities of electricity distributors, the 
service area of Chilectra is defined as one of 
high density and includes all the residential, 
commercial, industrial, state customers and 
those that pay tolls, among others. The Santiago 
Metropolitan Region is the most densely-
populated area in Chile and has the country´s 
highest concentration of business activities, 
industrial parks and commercial facilities.

Other electricity distribution companies that 
participate in the Chilean electricity system 
are: Empresa Eléctrica de Arica, Chilquinta 
Energía, CGE Distribución, Sociedad Austral de 
Electricidad, Empresa Eléctrica de la Frontera 
and Luz Andes Limitada, among others.

6.4.1. Chilectra

Chilectra is the largest electricity distribution 
company in Chile in terms of energy sales. It 
covers 33 districts of the Metropolitan Region 
and its concession zone covers a 2,118 sq.km, 

area including that of its subsidiaries, Empresa 
Eléctrica Colina Ltda. and Luz Andes Ltda. 

The company provided electricity to 1,658,637 
customers, 1.3% more than in 2011. Of the total, 
89.7% corresponds to residential customers, 
7.7% commercial, 0.7% industrial and 2.0% other 
customers. Also during 2012, Chilectra sold 14,445 
GWh to its end user customers, which represented 
a 5.6% increase when compared to 2011.

During the year, Chilectra´s energy losses were 
5.4%, one of the lowest in Latin America.  

Distribution tariffs are set every four years, bases 
on the cost studies performed by specialized 
consulting firms. The National Energy 
Commission (CNE in its Spanish acronym) 
establishes typical distribution areas and 
selects a reference company, for each typical 
distribution area, based on which the consultants 
must design an efficient model company.  

The latest tariff setting process took place in 
2008.

Although Chilectra is currently waiting for the 
outcome of the Tariff Revision Process for years 
2012 thru 2016, no matter when the decree 
is published, the new tariffs will be applied 
retroactively as of November 2012.

2012 Annual Report Significant events of the entity

1. Enersis 

By means of Essential Fact submitted on January 
31, 2012, Enersis S.A. informs that Enersis 
S.A. has recorded a provision to assets of its 
subsidiaries Empresa Distribuidora Sur S.A., 
and Central Costanera S.A., whose impact on the 
results of Enersis S.A. amounted to MM$106,750.

The above has been included in the Consolidated 
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2011, 
approved by the Board of Directors in the 
meeting held today. If such adjustments has not 
been recorded, the results of Enersis S.A. would 
have been similar to those for year 2010. 

On February 2, 2012, the Company informs that 
the information contained in Essential Fact sent 
on January 31, 2012, disclosing the provisions 
to assets of subsidiaries Empresa Distribuidora 
Sur S.A. (Edesur) and Endesa Costanera S.A. 
(Central Costanera), recorded and that impacted 
the results of Enersis S.A. in MM$106,750, is being 
complemented.

With this respect, it is worth mentioning that 
such amount responds to the effect on Enersis of 
the following:

•	

	A	provision	for	losses	recorded	as	an	
impairment account related to Property, Plant 
and Equipment of Edesur totaling $ 69,607 
million, net of non-controlling shareholdings 
(see note 15 d) vii) of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2011).

•	 The	reversal	of	tax	credits	on	taxes	paid	out	

by Edesur and Endesa Costanera for $ 17,220 
million and $ 7,723 million, respectively, net 
of non-controlling shareholdings.

•	 Finally,	a	provision	for	losses	recorded	as	an	
impairment account was made on existing 
goodwill balances in Edesur and Endesa 
Costanera, amounting to $ 8,931 million and 
$ 3,269 million, respectively, net of non-
controlling shareholdings (see note 14 of the 
Consolidated Financial Statements as of 
December 31, 2011).

In the case of Edesur, the measures above are 
attributable to the uncertainties generated by the 
delays in the recognition of tariff adjustments via 
the semi-annual Cost Monitoring System (MMC, in 
its Spanish acronym) and the implementation of an 
Integral Tariff Review (RTI, in its Spanish acronym).

With respect to Endesa Costanera, the situation 
is attributable to the difficulties in obtaining 
adjustments to revenue sufficient to cover real 
generation costs, working capital deficits, due to 
difficulties in the collection of the system operator’s 
sales, all of which factors have an impact on the 
company’s short-term financial stability.

On February 29, 2012, the Board of Directors of 
Enersis S.A., unanimously agreed to propose to 
the Enersis Ordinary Shareholders Meeting, to 
maintain the same dividend payout ratio paid for 
the previous period; namely, 50% of the Company’s 
distributable net income.  For this period, such 
percentage is equivalent to $ 5.7497 per share, from 
which the interim dividend of Ch$ 1.46560 per share 
paid in January 2012 must be deducted. Therefore, 
the amount to be distributed as a final dividend to 
shareholders would be Ch$ 4.2841 per share.  

This will represent a distribution of $ 139,880,862 
thousand of the results at December 31, 2011.

This modifies the current dividend policy which 
determined the distribution of a 55% dividend payout 
of the distributable net income of the Company.

In the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Enersis 
S.A. held on April 26, 2012, the shareholders agreed 
to distribute a minimum mandatory dividend 
(partially paid by Provisional Dividend No. 84) and 
an additional dividend, for a total of $ 5.74970.  Given 
that the above mentioned Provisional Dividend No. 
84 was already paid, we will distribute and pay the 
remaining amount of the Definitive Dividend No. 85, 
for $ 4.28410 per share.

On July 13, 2012, Enersis informs that through 
ENRE Resolution N° 183/2012, dated July 12th 2012, 
from the Argentine electric regulatory entity, Mr. 
Luis Miguel Barletta was designated as supervisor 
of our Argentine subsidiary, Empresa Distribuidora 
Sur S.A. (Edesur). This designation does not replace

the company’s current management, nor does it 
represent a type of joint management.

In its meeting held today, July 25, 2012,  Enersis 
S.A.’s Board of Directors agreed to summon 
an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting  to be 
held on September 13, 2012 at 10:30 a.m., at The 
Marriott Hotel, Av. Kennedy N° 5741, Las Condes, 
Santiago, Chile with the purpose to address the 
following issues:

1.-   Increase capital for the amount, equivalent in 
Chilean pesos, of US$ 8,020 million or In the 
amount determined by the  Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting, through the issuance 
of a certain number of common shares to 
be determined by the Meeting, to be paid 
in cash and/or in kind.  The shares to be 
issued will be nominative, all of the same 
special issuance, without any preference, and 
without a nominal value.

2.-   Approve each and every contribution in kind 

subject to being capitalized, as well as their 
respective estimated appraisals carried 
out by the independent expert appraiser, 
Mr. Eduardo Walker Hitschfeld, whose 
report will be made available today to the 
shareholders on the company’s web site at 
www.enersis.cl. The report estimates the 
total value of the contribution in kind in US$ 
4,862 million.

3. -   Agree on a value or price of issuance for the 
shares which will correspond to the capital 
increase that is agreed upon or delegate the 
determination of such value upon the Board 
of Directors.  

4.-   Modify the company’s bylaws in accordance to 
the agreements adopted in connection with the 
capital increase and authorize the Company’s 
Management to submit a consolidated and 
updated version of the bylaws. 

5.-   Adopt all necessary agreements that may be 
needed and convenient for the full execution 
of the respective decisions adopted at the 
Meeting including, but not limited to, the 
determination, timing, and procedure for 

the issuance of shares corresponding to 
the capital increase, the registration of 
such shares in the Registry of Securities, 
the period for issuance, subscription and 
payment of the shares; the establishment of 
the procedure for the issuance of any follow 
on shares left over after a preemptive rights’ 
issuance; or the full empowerment of the 
Board of Directors for each of these items, 
or for the adoption of any other agreement 
that may be needed to supplement or grant 
compliance to whatever may be resolved 
at the Meeting, or to satisfy any legal, 
regulatory, or administrative requirement 
of the Superintendence of  Securities and 
Insurance, the Chilean Tax Authority or, in 
general, any other publicly competent entity, 
and delegating powers for such purposes 
on the Chief Executive Officer, the Deputy 
Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s 
Counsel so that any of them, acting on an 
individual manner, may carry out all the 
actions and legal steps that may be required 
or convenient to fully bring about what has 
been hereby described. 

6. -  Information on all agreements relating to 

related party operations referred to in Title 
XII of Law 18,046 and any others that may 
have been subsequent to those informed 
in the last Extraordinary Shareholders 
Meeting, if any

Shareholders may obtain a copy of all the 
documentation that explains and backs the items 
submitted for the resolution of the ESM at the 
company’s headquarters, located in Santa Rosa 76, 
15 th  Floor, Santiago, Chile, fifteen days prior to 
the Meeting.  The complete information will also 
be made available on the Company’s web site.

The company takes note of the administrative 
interpretation and will evaluate, within the 
Board of Directors, what should be done, as 
a result of this new situation. Esta empresa 
toma nota de la interpretación administrativa 
y evaluará, en el seno de su directorio, lo que

S.A. (Endesa Spain or Endesa) dated October 
30, 2012, presenting a conditionality proposal 
regarding the Enersis’ capital increase ongoing 
process. The letter is attached to this form.

Through this letter, Endesa formally requests 
to Enersis’ Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting, 
which will address to the capital increase, that the 
subscription and payment of the issued shares as a 
result of the operation be subject to a conditional 
clause consisting in that those minority 
shareholders subscribe and pay, either in one or 
more preemptive rights’ subscription periods 
a minimum number of shares that would allow 
Endesa to subscribe at least its right to shares 
without exceeding the aforementioned legal and 
by-law 65% threshold of shares issued with voting 
rights. If the total number of shares subscribed 
and paid implies that Endesa exceeds such limit, 
the condition shall automatically be deemed not 
satisfied and the subscription contracts of shares 
would have no legal effect, returning the amounts 
delivered for the shares to the subscribers.

The Board of Directors of Enersis stated during 
its session held October 31, 2012,  that Endesa’s 
proposal contributes to the best interest of Enersis 
and that a future board meeting, will adopt the 
measures deemed appropriate to protect such 

best interests of Enersis and of those who would 
participate in the aforementioned capital increase.

On November 6, 2012, the company informs that 
at its meeting held today, the Enersis Board of 
Directors agreed to summon an Extraordinary 
Shareholders Meeting in order to give an 
announcement about the capital increase in 
progress, in the same terms that was proposed 
by our parent company Endesa, S.A. (“Endesa 
España”) as a single operation.  In such meeting, 
shareholders would be informed about other 
subjects not related to the capital increase.  
Such Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting will 
be held on December 20, 2012, at 12:30 p.m. 
(Santiago time), in the “Las Américas” room of the 
Intercontinental Hotel, located in Vitacura Avenue 
2885, Las Condes, Santiago.

The issues that will be submitted to the knowledge 
and decision of the ESM are the following, which 
may be discussed in the order determined by the 
Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, therefore the 
agreements to be adopted will be duly consistent:

1.-  Approve, in accordance with the terms of Title 

XVI of Law 18,046 of the Chilean Companies 
Act (“LSA”, in its Spanish acronym), the 
related parties transaction, which consists 
of the capital increase described in the 
following points of this notification, taking 
into consideration the information that 
for this effect is available to shareholders 
at the Company’s headquarters and on the 
Company’s website: www.enersis.cl.

 2.-  Increase the issued capital by an amount in 

Chilean Pesos, the legal currency of Chile, 
which will not be lower than US$ 5,915 
million nor higher than US$ 6,555 million at 
an exchange rate of Ch$ 482.29 per US Dollar, 
or by the amount that the Extraordinary 
Shareholder Meeting determines.  This 
capital increase will be accomplished via the 
issuance of the number of shares that will 
be determined for this effect.  All the shares 

162     Enersis 2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report Significant events of the entity

that will be issued will be nominative and 
ordinary from a single special series without 
preference and without nominal value, to 
be called Series B.  This Series B will have 
exactly the same rights as the shares already 
issued, with the only one exception of their 
exchange rights.  Series B will be created with 
the single purpose of differentiating these 
new shares from those already issued, since 
all of the latter are governed by the Exchange 
Convention agreed to on September 24, 
2008 between Enersis S.A. (the “Company”), 
Citibank N.A. and the Chilean Central Bank.

3.-  Approve those non-monetary contributions 
that may be capitalized and their respective 
contribution values, submitting to discussion 
for the effects of articles 15 and 67 No. 6 of 
the LSA the estimations included in the 
independent appraisal reports issued by 
Mr. Eduardo Walker Hitschfeld,, by IM 
Trust and by Claro y Asociados.  These 
reports are available to shareholders on the 
Company’s website: www.enersis.cl and at 
the Company’s headquarters.  Therefore, the 
shares that are issued as part of the capital 
increase will be paid in cash and with the 
contribution of ownership of all the equity 
interests of Cono Sur Participaciones S.L., a 
company that will group together the shares 
detailed in the aforementioned reports.  

4.-  Agree on a subscription’s price of the shares 
that are issued or establish a formula and, 
in the latter case, delegate the final decision 
about such price, to the Board of Directors, 
as long as the subscription starts within the 
180 days following the date of the Meeting, in 
accordance with article 23 of the Corporations 
Rule.  Bearing in mind the resulting 
subscription’s price, the Board of Directors 
must offer the quantity of shares corresponding 
to the number of shares that is strictly 
necessary so that, in relation to such price, the 
amount of the capital increase is obtained.  

Information will be made available about the 
treatment that will be given to the issuing and 
subscription cost of the shares issued, as well as 
the amount of the shares issued.

5.-  Establish that the first Instance of the share 
subscription offer must be made within the 
preemptive subscription period established 
in article 25 of the LSA, and the remaining 
shares not subscribed within that period must 
be offered in a remaining subscription period, 
at values not lower, nor in more advantageous 
conditions, than those offered in the 
preemptive subscription period.  Additionally, 
agree on the deadlines within which the 
shares must be issued, subscribed and paid.

6.-  Approve that all the share subscription 

contracts are subject to the fulfillment of a 
conditional clause whereby the interested 
parties should subscribe and pay, whether 
during the preemptive subscription period 
or during the remaining subscription period, 
at least a quantity of shares that makes it 
possible for the parent company Endesa 
España to subscribe and pay for the total 
amount of shares that corresponds to it 
in accordance with the pro-rata, without 
exceeding the legal and by-laws threshold 
of 65% of the outstanding issued shares 
with voting rights.  In the event that the 
total amount of shares subscribed and paid 
implied that Endesa España exceeded this 
threshold, the clause would be understood 
automatically failed and all the share 
subscription contracts would not produce 
any legal effect and would be returned to the 
subscribers their amounts. 

7.-  Approve the use of proceeds arising from the 

capital increase. 

8.-  Amend articles fifth permanent and second 
transitional of the Company’s by-laws 
according to the agreements adopted in the 
present Shareholders Meeting on the capital

2012 Annual Report Significant events of the entity

increase and to authorize the Company’s 
management to provide a consolidated and 
updated text of by-laws.

9.-  Agree on those other aspects of the 

described capital increase operation that 
the Shareholders Meeting deem the case to 
approve, being accessories or functional to 
the aforementioned operation.

10.- Adopt all necessary agreements conducive 
and convenient for the development and 
implementation of the respective decisions 
adopted by the Meeting, including, but not 
limited to determine the form, time and 
method of subscription of shares for the 
capital increase; registration of the issue of 
shares in the Securities Registry; term issue, 
subscription and payment of shares; establish 
the procedure for the subscription of the 
remaining shares that are not subscribed 
within the preemptive subscription period; 
or broadly empower the Board of Directors 
to all these effects, as well as to enable it to 
take any agreements required to complete 
or comply with decisions reached by the 
Meeting, or to meet any legal, regulatory or 
administrative provision or requirement 
of the Superintendence of Securities and 
Insurance, the Securities and Exchange 
Commission of the United States of America, 
Internal Revenue Service, or in general, any 
other public authority, authorizing to the 
CEO, the Deputy CEO and Attorney of the 
Company to any one individual acting they 
make all the measures, proceedings and legal 
acts which are necessary or convenient to 
carry out the aforementioned.

capital increase: 

12.1.- Request from Public Company

12.2.-Agreements on operations with related 
parties governed by Title XVI of the 
LSA, adopted after the last Ordinary 
Shareholders’ Meeting and other Board’s 
agreements that must be reported.

something different, as the case may be.
