of these two mechanisms, was far below the parameters 

defined by the Company, thus showing that the proposed 

reorganziation  process  was  completely  positive  for  Enel 

Américas. 

Today  we  are  the  most  important  private  electricity 

company  in  the  Region,  and  to  keep  that  position  we 

see  great  possibilities  of  growth  for  our  generation 

and  distribution  businesses,  which  we  will  continue  to 

achive not only through our permanent aim at efficiency, 

but  also  through  our  active  search  for  new  acquisition 

opportunities. 

Acquisition  
of CELG in Brazil   

During  the  second  half  of  2016,  through  Enel  Brasil,  we 

increased  our  share  capital  of  the  electricity  distribution 

company Celg Distribuição S.A. (“CELG”) to 94.8%. This 

company  operates  in  the  Brazilian  state  of  Goiás,  and 

covers a territory of 337 thousand square kilometers, 

and  the  standing  concession  is  in  force  until  2045 

for 2.9 million customers. With this acquisition, the

Educational Action

Training

Enel América’s training program for 2016 was built and executed on the basis of two main management principles. 

First of all, to achieve the right balance between educational activities focused on skills development and essencial technical 

knowledge for the best performance of our employees in their positions, and also the training of behavioral competencies, 

which will enable our employees to increase their possibilities of development within the Group. 

The second principle is relates to the training program financing, regarding the needs detection mechanism that enables the 

identification, together with the collaborator and the manager, of technical and behavioral gaps that needs to be covered, 

with regards to the individual productivity in the workplace in order to access to possible future development opportunities. 

The needs detection system is denomintated IDP (Profesional Development Itinerary), whose implementation takes two 

years.

  Material Investments  
Related to the Compay’s  
Investment Plan

We  coordinate  the  overall  financing  strategy  of  our  subsidiaries  and  intercompany  loans,  in  order  to  optimise  debt 

management, in addition to the terms and conditions of our funding. 

Our subsidiaries develop independent capital investment plans that are funded by funds generated internally or by direct 

funding. One of our goals is to focus on those investments that will yield long-term benefits, such as projects to reduce energy 

losses. Additionally, focusing on Enersis group and seeking to provide services to all companies in the group, our goal is to 

reduce investment at the individual subsidiary companies in elements such as procurement systems, telecommunications 

and information systems. While we have studied how to finance these investments as part of the budget process of the 

Company, no particular financing structure has been committed and our investments will depend on market conditions at the 

time they need to get the cash flow. 

Our investment plan is flexible enough to adapt to the changing circumstances by giving different priorities to each project 

according to its profitability and strategic consistency. Investment priorities are currently focused on developing the works 

plan in Peru and Colombia.

For  the  period  form  2017  to  2019,  we  expect  to  spend  Ch$  2,755  billion  on  a  consolidated  basis,  in  investments  in  the 

subsidiaries  we  control,  and  related  to  investments  currently  under  development,  the  maintenance  of  our  distribution 

networks, maintenance of existing generation plants, and the studies required to develop other potential generation projects.  

The  table  below  shows  the  capital  expenditures  expected  to  carry  out  from  2017  to  2019  and  the  capital  expenditures 

incurred by our subsidiaries in 2016, 2015 and 2014.

    Investments  
in 2016, 2015 and 2014 

Our capital expenditures in the last four years were mainly related to El Quimbo project (400 MW) in Colombia, 

as well as the maintencance of the existing installed capacity. El Quimbo project began commercial operations 

on November 16, 2015. 

In December 2014, the optimization of Salaco project was completed, adding 145 MW to the Colombian grid. In 

2015 started the investments in the Malacas TG6 project, which comprises the replacement of three turbines 

for more efficient ones that operate with gas. Additionally, we also invest for these purposes: (i) expand our 

distribution service to cope with the growing electricity demand, (ii) improve the quality of service, (iii) improve 

safety, and (iv) reduce energy losses, mainly in Brazil. 

The aforementioned capital investments were financed as follows: 

>   El Quimbo: Local and international bond issuances.

>   Salaco: Funds generated by the Company.

  Generation

Our capital expenditures in generation amounted to $197 billon in 2016, and $447 billion in 2015.

In Colombia and Peru, we continue investing in studies and the development of the projects pipeline both hydro 

and thermoelectric projects.

In Colombia, our main investment in expansion was concentrated in the commissioning of 400 MW El Quimbo 

hydroelectric project, which is currently operating. 

In Peru, during 2016 investments were allocated to the substitution of Malacas thermo power plant’s turbines 

for more efficient ones that operate with gas.  

  Distribution

During 2016 the Company made investments of $624 billion, mainly to meet consumption needs, resulting 

from the growth of population and the entrance of new customers, through investments not only related with 

them, but also in capacity increases and strengthening of the High (HT), Medium (MT) and Low Tension (MT) 

facilities of the companies. On the other hand, in 2015, investments amounted to $600 billion, in order to meet 

consumption needs that result from the incease of population and new clients, and also to improve the quality 

of service. 

In 2016 Edesur in Argentina made investments for $132 billion to meet the growth of demand and improve 

the  quality  of  service. These  investments  allowed  the  Company  to  accomplish  several  golas:  complete  the 

expansion of Caballito substation, restoration of 54 kilomeers of medium and low voltage electricity grids, 150 

new transformation centers, 21 new transformation MT/BT centers.

In Perú, Edelnor performed investments for a total of $83 million pesos mainly focused mainly in satisfying 

demand growth, seeking to reinforce security of the Medium and Low Voltage feeders. 

In Brazil, total investments reached $283 billion pesos. In particular, Enel Rio performed investments for a total 

of $178.7 billion pesos, mainly focused on energy losses reduction and in energy losses reduction projects. 

Furthermore, the company invested in control systems through the use of technology and social activities. In 

the case of Enel Ceará, investments reached $104,1 billion pesos with the purpose of meeting the grid needs 

and connection of clients. Additionally, the investments needed to endure the sustained demand growth of the 

State of Ceará in the last years, also including projects for the electric charge increase. 

In Colombia, total investments amounted to $143 billion pesos mainly focused in projects that improves the 

quality of service through the normalization, modernization and telecontrol of grids, and also the works required 

to meet the growth of demand, the repowering of circuits, safety of operations, control of energy losses and 

issues related with technology, properties and legal requirements. Worth is to highlight the progress of Nueva 

Esperanza Substation, project that implies a total investment of $22 million; as such the continuity of the Public 

Lighting Modernization Project will include installation of LED lighting and halides in Bogota.

Coverage Policy 

Exchange Rate

The  exchange  rate  hedging  policy  of  the  Group  is  based 

on  cash  flows  and  seeks  to  maintain  a  balance  between 

flows indexed to foreign currency, and the levels of assets 

and  liabilities  denominated  in  that  currency. The  goal  is  to 

minimise the flows’ risk exposure from changes in exchange 

rates.  As  part  of  this  policy,  the  Enel  Américas  contracted 

forwards for US$300 million approximately to cover the flows 

in different currencies coming from foreign subsidiaries.

Likewise, 

in  December  the  Company  completed  the 

acquisition  of  the  Brazilian  distribution  company  CELG,  as 

part  of  the  assets  privatization  process  of  the  electricity 

sector in Brazil, for a total amount of $2,187 million Brazilian 

reais. This acquisition was financed with funds provided by 

Enel Américas, and the exchange rate risk was covered with 

forward contracts. 

Enel Américas, as part of the reorganization process, decided 

to  change  its  functional  currency  from  the  Chilean  peso  to 

the US dollar. As such, part of the cash of the Company was 

covered  to  make  the  conversion  of  Chilean  pesos  into  US 

dollars, for a total amount of US$750 million approximately. 

Overall,  Enel  Américas  operated 

forward  derivatives 

contracts for more than US$ 1,700 million during 2016. 

Interest Rate 

The Group’s policy is to maintain levels of fixed and protected 

debt over total net debt within a band of plus or minus 10% 

compared  to  the  ratio  established  in  the  annual  budget.  In 

case of any deviation from the budget, hedging transactions 

were made, based on market conditions. At the closing date 

in December, consolidated fixed debt plus protected debt in 

relation to net bebt was 44%.

Américas (today Enel Américas) in national scale rating. The 

assigned  rating  was  “AA-”  with  stable  outlook. This  credit 

opinion was later confirmed on July 7, 2016.

December  30,  2016,  and  assigned  “Baa3”  rating.  Outlook

   Enel Américas Annual Report 2016

  Risk Management Policy

The  companies  in  the  Enel  Américas  Group  are  exposed  to  determined  risks  that  it  manages  through  the 

system application of identifying, measuring, limiting concentration and supervision.

Some of the basic principles defined by the Group in the establishment of their risk management policy are:

>   Comply with the norms of good corporate government.

>   Strictly complying with the normative system of the Group.

>   Each business and corporate area defines:

I.  The  markets  where  the  Company  can  operate  in  relation  to  the  knowledge  and  sufficient  capabilities  to 

ensure effective risk management.  

II.  Criteria on counterparts.

III.  Authorized Operators.

>   The  business  and  corporate  areas  established  for  each  market  in  which  they  operate  their  predisposition  to 

coherent risk with the defined strategy.

>   Every business operations and corporate areas are performed within the approved limits in every case.

>   The business, corporate areas, lines of business and companies establish risk management policies necessary to 

ensure that the market transactions are completed according to policy, norms, and procedures of Enel Américas. 

  Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate variations modify the reasonable value of those assets and liabilities that bear a fixed interest rate, 

and also the aforementioned future active and passive flows at a variable interest rate. 

The  objective  of  risk  management  of  interest  rates  is  to  reach  a  debt  structure  equilibrium  that  allows  a 

minimization of debt cost with a reduced volatility in the income statement. Dependiendo de las estimaciones 

del  Grupo  y  de  los  objetivos  de  la  estructura  de  deuda,  se  realizan  operaciones  de  cobertura  mediante  la 

contratación de derivados que mitiguen estos riesgos. 

Currently, the instruments used are interest rate swaps that sets variable rate to fixed rate. 

The comparative structure of the financial debt that Enel Américas Group has, according to the fixed interest 

rate and/or protected by the total gross debt, after contracted derivatives, is the following:

   Measuring  
Risk

The  Enel  Américas  Group  develops  a  Risk  Value 

measurement in its debt positions and financial derivatives, 

with  the  objective  of  monitoring  the  risk  assumed  by  the 

company, limiting the volatility of the income statement.

The portfolio includes for the calculation of the Value at Risk 

composed by: 

>   Financial Debt.

>   Derivatives for Debt coverage.

The calculated Value at Risk represents the possible variation 

of the portfolio’s value previously described in the duration 

of  a  quarter  with  a  95%  of  confidence.  For  that  purpose 

there is a volatility study of the risk variables that affect the 

position portfolio’s value, with respect to the Chilean Peso, 

including:

>   US dollar Libor interest rate.

>   The different currencies in which our company operates, 

the regular local indexes for banking practices.

>   The exchange rates of the different currencies considered 

in the calculations.

The Value at Risk calculations are based on the extrapolation 

of future scenarios (in one quarter) of the market values of 

the  risk  variables  in  terms  of  the  scenarios  based  on  real 

observations for the same period (quarter) in five years.

The Value at Risk of a quarter with a 95% of confidence is 

calculated as a 5% percentile more adverse of the possible 

variations in the period.  

Considering  the  hypothesis  described  above,  the Value  at 

Risk in a quarter of the positions described, corresponds to 

M$ 112,729,307.

This value represents the potential increase in the debt and 

derivatives portfolio, so this value at risk is directly related, 

among other factors, to the value of the portfolio at the end 

of each quarter.

122 

   Enel Américas Annual Report 2016

During 2016 a process of corporate reorganization process was concluded that pursued the division of Chilean and non-

Chilean companies.

The first phase of the reorganization consisted of the separation of the then Endesa Chile, Chilectra and Enersis between 

the  Chilean  and  non-Chilean  businesses  of  electricity  generation,  distribution  and  transmission  by  means  of  a  Spin-

Off  according  to  the  Chilean  legislation  (the  “Spin-Offs”).  Following  the  approval  of  the  Spin-Offs  by  the  respective 

shareholders of Endesa Chile, Chilectra and Enersis at their Extraordinary Shareholders Meetings held on December 18, 

2015. The companies division took place on March 1, 2016 and the Spin-Offs were concluded on April 21, 2016, giving 

room for the creation and public listing of the shares of the new companies constituted by Spin-Offs, Enersis Chile S.A., 

Endesa Américas S.A. and Chilectra Américas S.A.

The second phase of the reorganization was the merger between the companies “Américas”, which consolidated non-

Chilean assets. On September 28, 2016, the respective shareholders of Enersis Américas, Endesa Américas and Chilectra 

Américas  approved  the  Endesa  Américas  Merger  and  Chilectra  Américas,  Enersis  Américas,  with  Enersis  Américas 

remaining as the continuing company. The merger combined the non-Chilean generation, transmission, and distribution 

businesses under a single company, contributing to the simplification of the group’s corporate structure and providing 

benefits such as reducing the flight of cash flows in the subsidiaries, aligning strategic interests, taking more efficient 

decisions and greater operational efficiencies.

On December 1, 2016, the Merger took place and from that date Enersis Américas has incorporated the entire shareholding 

of Endesa Américas and Chilectra Américas and succeeded them in all their rights and obligations. On the same date, 

Endesa Américas and Chilectra Américas were totally dissolved without liquidation. As a result of the merger, we issued 

9,232,202,625 new shares and our final controlling shareholder, Enel SpA, now owns 51.03% of our shares.

As part of this process: (i) Enersis changed its name to Enersis Américas S.A. on March 1, 2016 and then to Enel Américas 

S.A. on December 1, 2016); (ii) Endesa Chile changed its name to Enel Generación Chile S.A. on October 1, 2016; (iii) 

Chilectra changed its name to Enel Distribución Chile S.A. On October 1, 2016, and (iv) Enersis Chile S.A. changed its 

name to Enel Chile S.A. on October 1, 2016.

2016.  Its  application  is  included  in  Resolution  MEM  No. 

7/2016, which changed the supply procedures and defined

Also, the ENRE issued Resolution No 2/2016, which ended 

the  FOCEDE  and  established  a  new  procedure  for  funds 

from  Resolution  ENRE  347/12,  in  substitution  for  Edesur 

and Edenor confidence for a commercial account. 

On April 5, 2016, Resolutions N° 54 and 55 were enacted 

by  the  National  Electricity  Regulating  Entity.  The  first 

approves the Bases and Conditions for Private Companies, 

for the hiring of a Consultant for the RTI of EDESUR and 

EDENOR,  and  the  second  approves  the  timetable  and 

emits  guidelines  for  the  same,  indicating  that  ENRE 

defines the Parameters of Quality and the RATE.

Continuing  with  the  tariff  renegotiation  process,  on 

August  8  the  ENRE  issued  Resolution  463/16,  which 

provide details of the parameters of the technical service 

and quality, and the cost and values of unsupplied energy 

required for the modification of the RTI. This also receives 

most of the contributions and modifications demanded by 

EDESUR to the draft that was informally delivered.

Similarly, on August 29 through Resolution ENRE 492/16, 

the  Quality  of  Commercial  Service  and Technical  Product

On  the  other  hand,  on  August  3,  the  regulation  entity 

proceeded to inform the value of the Rate of Profitability.

On  September  28,  through  Resolution  ENRE  0522/2016,

Audience with the objective of acknowledging and listening 

to  opinions  with  regards  to Tariff  Proposals  presented  by 

the  distributing  companies  for  the  next  five-year  period; 

this is part of the Integral Tariff Revision Process (RTI) and 

with previous character to define the tariffs to apply by the 

referred Subsidiaries in said five year period. 

On  Wednesday  February  1,  2017,  the  ENRE  published 

Resolution N° 0064 which closed the RTI process and as a 

result, establishes the annual remuneration recognized by 

EDESUR S.A. amounting to $14,539,836,941.

With regards to the application of new structures and tariff 

charges, the MEyM considered as timely and convenient

emerged as an RTI process results to be applied starting

complete the resulting value application of the new VAD, 

in two stages: the first in November 2017, and the last on

Also,  it  was  decided  that  the  ENRE  must  recognize

the  distributors  used  an  approximate  amount  of  18  billion 

reals  of  the  ACR  account,  however,  it  was  not  enough  to 

cover the entire deficit. A new loan to the ACR account was 

approved in March 2015 to cover the deficits of November 

and December of 2014. An extension of the repayment term 

for all loans was approved, which should now be paid in 54 

months starting from November 2015.

Due  to  the  mismatches  between  the  costs  recognized 

in  tariff  and  the  real  costs  outside  the  management  of 

the  distributor,  and  intensified  by  the  implicit  costs  of  the 

drought,  ANEEL,  in  January  2015,  began  to  implement  a 

system  (known  as  Tariff  Banners)  of  additional  monthly 

charge on the consumer rate provided that the marginal cost 

of the system reaches levels above the regulatory standard. 

The  objective  of  the  regulator  is  to  give  the  consumer  an 

economic signal of the cost of the generation already in the 

subsequent  month,  moving  forward  an  amount  (of  right) 

that the Distributor would only collect it in next tariff event.

of flags: green, yellow, red level 1 and red level 2.

Regulation  
in Generation  
Companies

The  Colombian  State  can  participate  in  the  execution 

and  exploitation  of  the  generation  projects  as  well  as 

the  private  sector.  The  Law  142  of  1994,  established 

that  the  legal  regime  of  public  services  and  the  Law 

143  of  1994  focused,  particularly,  in  the  service  of 

electric power service, determined the types of entities 

authorized  to  provide  residential  public  service,  in  this 

sense  it  was  created  the “Public  Service  Company”  as 

the fundamental for this provision.

In  the  short-term  energy  market,  the  CND  receives, 

each  day,  the  offers  of  prices  and  the  declaration  of 

commercial  availability  for  each  hour  of  the  following 

day,  of  all  the  generators  participating  in  the  wholesale 

market. Based on this information, the CND performs an 

economic  dispatch  through  an  optimized  procedure  for 

the next 24-hour period of the following day, taking into 

account  the  electrical  and  operation  restrictions  of  the 

system, as well as other conditions necessary to satisfy 

the  expected  energy  demand  for  the  next  day  in  safe, 

reliable  and  economic  manner  from  the  cost  point  of 

view.  Unlike  the  rest  of  the  countries  where  the  office 

is  centralized  based  on  variable  costs  of  production,  in 

Colombia, the office is based on prices offered by agents.

The energy market is a market of adjustments, where the 

excess energy is sold or bought against the real energy 

demand of generators and retailers. The power exchange 

the  determined  spot  price  is  established  by  the  ASIC 

after the day of operation is established by means of an 

optimized procedure for the 24-hour period called the ideal 

dispatch, which implies an infinite transmission capacity 

in the network and takes into account the initial conditions 

of  operation,  thus  establishing  which  generators  had  to 

be dispatched to satisfy the actual demand. The price paid 

to  all  generators  that  are  dispatched  for  merit  of  price 

is the price of the most expensive generator dispatched 

every hour under the ideal dispatch.

Environmental 
Regulation

The  legal  framework  for  environmental  regulation  in 

Colombia  was  established  in  Law  99/1993,  which  also 

created the Ministry of Environment as the authority for the 

definition of environmental policies. The Ministry defines, 

issues  and  executes  policies  and  regulations  focused 

on  the  recovery,  conservation,  protection,  organization, 

administration and use of renewable resources.

Any  entity  contemplating  the  development  of  projects 

or  activities  related  to  the  generation,  interconnection, 

transmission or distribution of electricity, which may cause 

an  impact,  deterioration  and/or  introduce  significant  or 

notorious changes to  the environmental landscape, must 

apply  for  an  environmental  license  prior  to  the  start  of 

activities

For the power plants already operating, through Law No. 99, 

it was established that generating plants that have a total 

installed capacity of more than 10 MW, should contribute 

to  the  conservation  of  the  environment,  transferring  to 

municipalities  and  environmental  corporations  in  the 

area  where  the  power  plants  are  located,  a  percentage 

associated  with  the  generation  of  energy.  Hydroelectric 

plants must pay 6% of their generation and thermal plants 

must  pay  4%  of  their  generation,  with  rates  that  are 

determined annually.

In  2011,  Decree  3,570  established  the  new  structure  of 

the  environmental  sector  thus  creating  the  Ministry  of 

Environment  and  Sustainable  Development  (previously, 

the  functions  of  the  Ministry  of  Environment  were 

established  along  with  the  functions  of  the  Ministry  of 

Housing).  In  the  same  year,  Decree  3.573  created  the 

National  Environmental  Licensing  Authority  as  the  entity 

responsible  for  granting  and  monitoring  environmental 

licenses,  permits  and  procedures  of  the  Ministry  of 

Environment and Sustainable Development.

In Colombia, Law 1,715 was issued in 2014, which regulates 

the integration of NCREs into the National Energy System, 

with the objective of promoting the development and use 

of  non-conventional  sources  of  energy  and  promoting 

efficient management of the energy.

Environmental  General  Law  (Law  N°  28611)  and  in  the 

Environmental  Protection  Rules  for  Electric  Activities 

(Supreme Decree 029-94-EM). 

In  2008,  the  MINEM  enacted  the  Supreme  Decree  050-

2008  to  boost  the  generation  of  electricity  through 

Unconventional  Renewable  Energy  (ERNC).  Said  decree 

stipulates  that  up  to  5%  of  the  SEIN  demand  can  be 

supplied by using ERNC. This 5% cap could be checked by 

competent authorities by putting in service the Renewable 

Energy  National  Plan.  The  technologies  considered  as 

renewable  energy  are:  biomass,  wind,  tidal,  geothermal, 

solar, and mini-hydroelectric (hydroelectric smaller than 20 

MW).  

Until  December  2016  the  ERNC  percentage  was  2.6%  in 

the SEIN demand, as a result of the fourth bid adjudicated 

in 2016, the percentage will be 4,6% for December 2018.

Description  
of the Business by Country 

157

 
   Electricity  
Generation

In this segment, Enel Américas owns operating subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.

As a whole, the gross installed capacity of the Enel Américas Group reached 11,014 MW as of December 2016 

and the consolidated electricity generation amounted to 40,439 GWh, while energy sales totaled 50,575 GWh.

In the electricity industry, the business segmentation between hydro and thermal generation is natural, since 

the  variable  costs  of  generation  are  different  for  each  method  of  electricity  production. Thermal  generation 

requires the purchase of fossil fuels and hydroelectric generation requires the water that comes from dams 

and rivers. 

54% of our consolidated generation capacity comes from hydroelectric sources and 46% from thermal sources.

Terefore, the definition of the generation company’s commercial policy is relevant for the proper management 

of the business. 

   Electricity  
Transmission

The electricity transmission business of Enel Américas is mainly performed through the interconnection line 

between Argentina and Brazil, Enel Cien, subsidiary of Enel Brasil, whose transport capacity is 2,100 MW.

   Electricity  
Distribution

The distribution business is conducted through Edesur in Argentina, Ampla and Coelce (owned by Enel Brasil) 

in  Brazil,  Codensa  in  Colombia  and  Enel  Distribución  Peru  (former  Edelnor)  in  Peru.  During  2016,  our  main 

distribution subsidiaries sold 62,714 GWh.

At present, Edesur, Ampla, Coelce, Codensa and Enel Distribución Peru serve the main cities in Latin America, 

providing electricity service to more than 14.1 million clients.

Activities and Projects in Generation

Project under development: capacity expansion of 
Nueva Costanera Power Plant

In  the  context  of  the  changes  in  regulation  that  the Argentine  government  is  performing  and  the  variety  of 

biddings that have been done, and new ones that the government plans to convene to carry out new investments 

in energy, the Company is analizing the potential installation of a new combined cycle in Costanera. 

The purpose is to compete for electricity energy contracts in those biddings that the Ministry of Energy and 

Mining might offer during the second semester of 2017, and where a process has been already opened for the 

potential interested entities to present projects in this process.  

The project would consist on the installation of a combined cycle unit, with an installed capacity of 450 MW, 

connected to the voltage bars of 220 kV and 132 kV of the existing Costanera substation. The operation would 

work  with  two  types  of  fuel  (Natural  Gas  or  Diesel).  Nevertheless,  there’s  a  preference  for  natural  gas  and, 

when it’s not available, diesel would be used.

In  November  2016,  started  the  bidding  process  for  main  works.  Meanwhile,  the  studies  needed  to  get  the 

environmental licence and the connection to the electricity grid were completed in 2015 and in December 2016 

it was submitted to the corresponding authorities.

The  construction  period  is  estimated  in  30  months,  depending  on  the  technical  configuration  chosen. The 

commissioning  date  for  the  new  unit  is  estimated  between  2019  and  2020,  depending  on  the  bidding  date 

defined by the Ministry of Energy and Mining; in addition to the subscription date of the contracts awarded in 

such process.  

Improvements in Vuelta de Obligado Power Plant

With regards to the Vuelta de Obligado S.A. (VOSA) project, which includes the installation of a combined cycle of 

nearly 800 MW of installed capacity, during 2016 the two gas turbines of 270 MW of capacity each one continued 

operating in simple cycle. The commissioning of every installation of the new power plant is planned for the fist 

semester of 2017 – which is comprised by a Two Gas Turbine Combined Cycle and One Steam Turbine.

Once the combined cycle is put in motion, the devolution of the debt of CAMMESA with generation companies will 

start. These generation companies contributed to such project through a 10-year supply contract at a 30-day Libor 

rate plus 5%, pursuant to the Generators Agreement 2008-2011.
