In the following chapters you will find a description of our operations in the electricity generation and distribution markets through our subsidiaries Enel Generación Chile and Enel Distribución Chile. First, I would like to thank the directors, officers, and every- one who works in our company, for the job they have done this year, for the trust they have placed on this administra- tion and, above all, for supporting the new direction we are taking as a Company. During 2017, in addition to achieving good economic re- sults, we have carried out one of the most important re- organizations that the Chilean market has seen in recent times. The Elqui plan was conceived as the means to face the changes in the electricity industry. It became essential to incorporate the non-conventional renewable energy as- sets in Chile owned by Enel Green Power Latinoamérica into Enel Chile and it was accomplished through a merger. The Enel Generación Chile PTO was also carried out suc- cessfully and offered minority shareholders of Enel Gener- ación Chile the opportunity to become a part of Enel Chile. The Elqui plan represents the beginning of a clear and sustainable path that will allow us to successfully face well-deserved growth in a very different energy market. It is with pride that we can say that today we are the most diversified company in this sector in Chile. In Generación we rely on a total installed capacity of 7.5 GW, of which 4.7 GW are renewable energies and 2.8 GW are thermal. 4 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017In Distribución we serve 1.9 million customers, 40% of the As you know, Enel Generación Chile’s Board of Directors put domestic market. an end to their 51% interest in the HidroAysén project, return- ing the water rights to the State.

These meetings are focused on employees interacting with Human Resources to learn about the Com- pany’s employee policies and good practices, and for the Company to learn about the developing needs of employ- ees. The program “Areas are Presented” was implemented during 2017, in which employees deepen the roles, func- tions and challenges in the different areas of the company. The importance of this program lies in promoting a col- laborative culture among separate areas of the company, transforming, guiding and projecting different teams into a culture based on the question: “¿How can I help you?” Additionally, several programs aim towards meritocracy and development. Professional development is managed by offering promotions based on merit, and job opportuni- ties both locally and abroad, wherever the Group is pres- ent. Another initiative that has been maintained is the “One on One”. It is a personalized conversation program that allows learning about employees’ motivations and aspirations, strengthening our relationship with our internal clients. In Enel Chile, feedback occasions between managers and employees are opportunities to create closer bonds, in- crease transparency, align expectations, and support em- ployees’ professional development. Fostering a culture of constant feedback develops our employees’ talents and leads the way towards the formation of high performing teams. Workplace climate management Work climate is a priority for Enel Chile. Therefore, a work- place climate and safety survey is performed twice a year, with widespread employee participation. An action plan is drawn from the results of this survey to strengthen and enrich the company’s work environment. Work climate management and commitment are fundamental pillars of the company’s strategy, due to their close relationship with the people that make up the company’s human resource. During 2017, we have continued with initiatives that main- tain workers’ motivation, satisfaction and commitment regarding leadership, communication, meritocracy and de- velopment, conflict resolution measures, and good work practices. Regarding leadership, Enel Chile has a program that aims to promote and reinforce the important role of managers in creating organizational environments that foster workers’ satisfaction and development. “Leaving Traces” is a pro- gram that was designed to encourage leadership and the role of the manager in our “Open Power” culture, from a strategic and active standpoint that focuses on the mobili- zation of teams and the ability to help the learning process 48 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017During 2017 we have renewed the program “Recognizing The Policy has established three main principles: Ourselves”, which seeks to encourage a culture of recogni- tion within the Company.

There are also training workshops held during the external processes won by women. 50 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017Internships and young talent program This project is worthy of being mentioned because it rep- resents a new recruitment method that offers candidates that have experienced our organizational culture. It involves incorporating young professionals from the best universi- ties in the country as interns. They are given the opportu- nity to consolidate their theoretical knowledge in the Enel Chile business, shaping professionals who are familiar with the Group’s reality and challenges. This internship program is carried out permanently through- out the year, although the greatest number of interns are received during the summer. During 2017, a total of 55 in- terns were part of this Enel Chile program. To generate bonds with universities and attract the greatest number of students, during 2017 Enel Chile participated in Job Fairs held in the School of Physical Sciences and Math- ematics of Universidad de Chile, and in the Engineering School of Universidad Católica de Chile. Our stand received students studying industrial engineering, electric engineer- ing, mechanical engineering and hydraulic engineering. 51 Human Resources Diversity and inclusion For Enel Chile, diverse work teams and an inclusive work environment is essential to create a culture of innovation. Di- versity grants the possibility of visualizing different points of view and opinions that enrich the work environment, adding value to the business. In our company we value differences and transform them into our competitive advantage; by stimulating creativity, flexibility, learning and respect we are able to improve our processes. This also strengthens our position as employers when searching for talent in the market. To encourage diversity in all its forms, we highlight the in- creasing participation of women in internal contests, grad- ually promoting women’s empowerment and leadership. It is worthy of noting that out of the total external admissions, 77% were women. This year we have implemented the On-Boarding program, in which each worker that enters Enel Chile must be accom- panied by a tutor who offers professional and personal sup- port, guiding in the day to day dynamics of the company, and helping to create networks that will allow feeling welcomed and in a trustworthy environment. This program helps the rapid adaptation into the company´s culture and also offers the Company exposure to any suggestions made by new employees. 52 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017Educational action Training The Company’s training program for 2017 was based on two main pillars: The first is to achieve the balance between training activities focused on developing competences and those focused on the technical knowledge to improve job performance. The second is to define the training program based on a mechanism that allows, the employee and the manager, together, to detect the technical and behavioral gaps the employee needs to close, regarding individual job productivity, and also to have access to potential future de- velopment opportunities. The mechanism is entitled Profes- sional Development Itinerary (IDP In its Spanish acronym) and has a two-year implementation period. In general terms, Enel Chile’s training activities during 2017 reached 89% coverage, which means that 379 employees In terms of developing new behavioral and management abilities, several programs were implemented during 2017. Among these, we highlight the activities related to the de- velopment of leadership skills, particularly the program for every manager to identify his/her leadership gap and create a specific plan according to his/her individual needs. During participated in at least one training activity during the year. 2017, 22 managers participated in this program. The total number of training hours reached 20,596, resulting in a 1.9 % training rate (training hours for every 100 hours worked). The training activities included e-learning courses about the Company’s Criminal Risk Prevention Model for workers. This training program was extended to the directors of Enel Chile Technical training, which is critical due to the importance of and its subsidiaries in 2017. updating technical knowledge and acquiring new manage- ment tools, reached 46% of total training hours. Within the technical training activities carried out, we highlight those related to knowledge management- that is, the implemen- tation of activities in which there is a transmission of knowl- edge and experience from workers who have a greater ex- pertise in specific subjects towards others who are learning. This reaffirms our commitment to employee development, recognition and dissemination of knowledge within the company. Finally, and as it has been declared to everyone, in very lev- el and segment within the company, risk prevention, health and the general safety of every person is particularly rele- vant and has he Company’s permanent attention. 53 Human Resources09Stock Market Transactions 54 Annual Report Enel Chile 201755 Letter from the ChairmanQuarterly transactions of Enel Chile shares in Chile during the year, on the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Electronic Stock Exchange and the Valparaíso Stoc k Exchange, as well as in the United States of America on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are detailed below.

The subsidiaries generally develop their capital expenditure plans independently, financing them with in- ternally generated funds or direct financing. One of the objectives is to focus on investments that will provide long-term social and economic benefits, such as, the envi- ronmental and sustainability improvement projects of Bo- camina II. Other examples are projects that adjust medium and low voltage networks to connect new customers and also real estate projects. The funds required to finance these investments have been analyzed and included in the Company’s budget, but no particular financing structure has been committed and Generation In Chile, the main investments developed during 2017 focused on the construction of the Los Cóndores pass through hydroelectric power plant (150 MW) that began construction in 2014 and also the investments related to finishing the Bocamina II power plant (350 MW). Relevant Investments in 2017, 2016 and 2015 the investments will depend on the market conditions at The capital investments carried out over the last three the time the cash flows are needed. years were mainly related to: The investment policy of Enel Chile S.A. is flexible enough 1.

These were registered in the Securities Register of the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (SVS in its Spanish acronym) in 2009 and expire in 2019. Indebtedness The consolidated financial debt of Enel Chile reached US$ 1,272 million, mainly international bonds and local bonds with a 10-year average life. Interest Rate The Enel Chile Group interest rate hedging policy seeks to maintain a balanced debt structure to minimize financial expenses and reduce income statement volatility. Hedging instruments are purchased based on market conditions, given the Company’s projections and debt structure objec- tives. At year-end 2017, consolidated fixed debt to total financial debt was 92%. Risk Rating The main events related to risk rating in 2017 are summa- rized below: Enel Chile was rated for the first time by Feller Rate on June 19, 2017. The Company was rated “AA” on the local scale with a stable outlook. This rating was later confirmed on July 8. Net consolidated debt was US$ 590 million at year-end 2017 and the leverage ratio was 0.5 times. Fitch Rating began assigning a credit rating to Enel Chile S.A. on April March 15, 2017. The local rating given to the Company was “AA” with a positive outlook. Hedging Policy Exchange rate Furthermore, on July 31, 2017, Standard & Poor’s gave Enel Chile S.A. a “BBB+” international credit rating with a sta- ble outlook. This rating is an “investment grade” rating. The Company’s ratings are based on its diversified asset portfolio, strong credit parameters, adequate debt struc- ture and high liquidity. The exchange rate hedging policy of the Enel Chile Group is based on cash flows and seeks to maintain a balance between flows indexed to foreign currency (US$) or local currencies, and the levels of assets and liabilities denom- inated in such currency. The goal is to minimize cash flow exposure to risk related to exchange rate variations.

The basic principles defined by Group in establishing its risk management policy include the following: The objective of interest rate risk management is to achieve a debt structure balance that allows minimizing the cost of debt and maintain low income statement volatility. The comparative financial debt structure of the Enel Chile Group, regarding fixed and hedged interest rate to total debt, net of derivatives, is the following: Fixed Interest Rate 92% 92% 12-31-2017 12-31-2016 Depending on the Group’s estimates and debt structure objectives, hedging operations are performed by purchas- ing derivatives that mitigate these risks. > Comply with rules of good corporate governance. > Comply strictly with the Group’s norms and procedures. > Each business and corporate area defines: Exchange rate risks I.

To mitigate exchange rate risk, the Enel Chile Group seeks to maintain a balance between flows indexed in US dollars or local currencies, should there be any, and levels of as- sets and liabilities in such currency. The objective is to mini- mize cash flow exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. The instruments currently used to comply with this policy are currency swaps and exchange rate forwards. interest rate. 82 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017 Commodities risk Liquidity risk The Enel Chile Group is exposed to certain commodity The Group’s liquidity is provided by sufficient committed price fluctuations, primarily through: long-term credit facilities and short-term financial invest- ments to finance projected needs for a certain period of > Fuel purchases in the process of generating electricity. time, which is calculated as a function of the overall situa- > Energy trading operations in local markets. tion and expectations regarding debt and capital markets.

As of December 31, 2016, there were swap operations outstanding for 3 million barrels of Brent oil to be settled between January and November 2017, and 3 million MMB- TU of Henry Hub gas to be settled between January and September 2017. These hedging instruments may be modified or could in- clude other commodities because of constantly changing operating conditions. Trade accounts receivables Credit risk associated to accounts receivables stemming from commercial activity has historically been limited, mainly due to short-term payment deadlines that prevent clients from accumulating significant individual amounts. This is applicable to our generation business as well as our electricity distribution business. 83 Risk FactorsIn the generation business, supply disruption is a possi- bility in the event of non-payment in some non-regulated customer contracts and payment defaults also may qual- ify as a cause for contract termination. For this purpose, and although the risk is limited, credit risk and maximum amounts exposed to payment risk are constantly mea- sured and monitored. Our electricity distribution company has the power to dis- connect supply due to contract breaches by our custom- ers. Disconnection is applied according to current regula- tion, which facilitates the credit risk evaluation and control process, which is also limited. Financial assets: Investments of cash surpluses are made in first class do- mestic and foreign financial institutions, within limits es- tablished for each entity. Banks considered for investments have investment grade qualification, considering the three major international rat- ing agencies (Moody’s, S&P and Fitch). Investments may be backed by Chilean Treasury bonds and securities issued by first-class banks, prioritizing the latter as they offer better returns (always within existing invest- ment policy guidelines). Risk measurement: The Enel Chile Group measures the Value at Risk of its debt and financial derivatives to monitor the risk taken by the company, thus limiting income statement volatility. The positions included in the portfolio used to calculate the present Value at Risk include: > Financial debt. > Debt-hedging derivatives. The calculated Value at Risk represents a potential loss of value of the portfolio described above in one quarter, with 95% confidence. To this effect, the company studied the volatility of variables at risk that affect the value of the port- folio, with respect to the Chilean peso, which includes: > US dollar Libor Rate. > Exchange rates of currencies included in the calculations. The calculation of Value at Risk is based on the extrapola- tion of future market value scenarios (one quarter out) of the variables at risk in scenarios based on real observations for the same period (quarter), for five years. The Value at Risk for the next quarter, with 95% confi- dence, is calculated as the percentile of the most adverse 5% of possible quarterly changes. Based on the hypotheses stated above, the Value at Risk for the aforementioned positions, one quarter out, is ThCh$ 66,890,686. This value represents the potential increase in the debt and derivatives portfolio, and therefore is intrinsically linked, among other factors, to the value of the portfolio at the end of each quarter. 84 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017Other risk factors About 55% of installed generation capacity in 2017 was hydroelectric. Accordingly, extremely dry hydrological con- ditions could adversely affect the business, results of oper- ations and financial condition.

(2) A Public Tender Offer of Shares to be carried out by Enel Chile to purchase up to 100% of the shares and American Depository Shares (“ADS”) issued by Enel Generación Chile held by its minority shareholders (“Enel Generación PTO”) and that will be subject to the condition, among others, that Enel Chile reach at least a 75% shareholding of Enel Generación Chile and that the minority shareholders that agree to sell their shares and ADSs, also agree to subscribe either shares or ADSs, as the case may be, issued by Enel Chile provided by the capital increase identified in nu- meral (3) below, and to pay for those Enel Chile shares with part of the price of their Enel Generación Chile shares sold in the Enel Generación PTO. (3) A capital increase (“Capital Increase”), to be paid in cash, of Enel Chile to provide for sufficient shares and ADSs to deliver to the shareholders of Enel Gener- ación that accept to sell their shares in the Enel Gen- eración PTO. (4) The success of the Enel Generación PTO is subject to the amendment of the company´s bylaws that would eliminate the restrictions imposed by Title XII of D.L 3,500/1980, which limit the possibility for a sole share- holder to concentrate more that 65% of the capital with voting rights of Enel Generación Chile (the “Enel Generación Bylaw Amendment”). All operations described are instrumental to carry out the Reorganization and it makes no sense to consider them individually, separate from each other. Within this context, the Shareholders´ Meeting approved the Reorganization assuming that each and every one of these event is part of the Reorganization. The Reorganization will be subject to compliance with the conditions indicated hereafter, that are all related to each other, so that, the success of the Reorganization depends on the materialization of them all. The Reorganization will not be carried out if the Enel Gen- eración PTO is not declared a success or if the conditions precedent to the Merger are not fulfilled. Therefore, every phase of the Reorganization will be subject to the following conditions (“Conditions of the Reorganization”): (1) Merger: It was approved subject to fulfilling all the fol- lowing conditions: a. That the shareholders of Enel Generación agree to the Amendment of the Enel Generación By- laws. b. That Enel Chile declare the PTO a success. c. That the withdrawal rights the shareholders of Enel Chile exercise related to the Merger do not exceed 5% of the company’s common stock with voting rights, and that the withdrawal rights of the shareholders of Enel Chile do not lead a share- holder to exceed the 65% maximum shareholding concentration limit of Enel Chile at the withdrawal expiration date. The number of shares considered is the number the new capital of Enel Chile will be divided into once the Merger and the Capital Increase of Enel Chile are approved. d. That no court ruling or resolution with the intent to object, sew or demand action or judicial process is pending at the effective date of the Merger that would reasonably result in the following conse- quences: (i) prohibit or impede the materialization of the Merger, or (ii) impose material limitations on Enel Chile to exercise its ownership rights of Enel Green Power assets that are assigned to Enel Chile as the result of the Merger; (iii) impose limitations on Enel Chile to continue developing 98 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017or operating any project owned by Enel Green b.

Limits to integration and concentration a.1 Generation segment The operations of generation companies are conditioned by the operations plan of the System Coordinator, although they may freely decide whether to sell their energy to ei- ther regulated or nonregulated customers. Any surplus or deficit between sales and production is sold to or bought from other generators at the spot market price.

The surplus (deficit) of production after supplying cus- tomer commitments are transferred by selling (buying) to (from) other generators connected to the system. Electricity transfers are priced at the marginal cost of the system. Capacity transfers are carried out at the corresponding node price, as set every semester by the authority. In Chile, capacity payments to each generator depend on the calculation, based on current rules, performed annually by the National Electricity Coordinator that determines the firm capacity of each power plant. Firm capacity mainly de- pends on availability, of the facilities and of the source of generation. Non-conventional energies renewable a.2 Transmission segment Transmission systems are comprised of lines and substa- tions that form an electric system that are not distribution installations. They are divided into five segments: Nation- al Transmission, Development Pole Transmission, Zonal Transmission, Dedicated Transmission and also Internation- al Interconnection Systems. Transmission installations are open access to any user that requests it, without discrimination. The compensation for existing transmission installations, either national or zonal, is determined by a tariff setting process performed every four years. This process determines the Annual Transmis- sion Value comprised of efficient operations and manage- ment costs and an investment value annuity, determined by a discount rate (minimum 7% after tax) set by the au- thority every four years based on a study and the useful life of assets. The development of the national and zonal transmission systems is determined by a regulated and centralized pro- cess carried out by the National Electricity Coordinator, which presents an expansion plan every year that must be approved by the CNE. The expansion of both systems is granted through an open tender process that discriminates new installations from enlargement of existing installations. The tenders carried Law 20,257 enacted in April 2008 creates incentives to use out for new installations grant the winner ownership of the Non-Conventional Renewable Energies (NCRE).

The VAD is based on an efficient model company scheme and For regulatory purposes, the distribution segment is de- fined as all electricity supplied to end customers at a volt- age of up to 23kV. Distribution companies operate under the framework of a public service concession. They have the obligation to provide electricity at regulated prices to regulated custom- ers (customers with under 5,000 kW connected capacity, unless falling within the 500 and 5,000 kW category and chose the nonregulated tariff). Nonregulated customers may negotiate their electricity supply with any generation or distribution company, but must pay a regulated toll for using the distribution network. Regarding electricity supply to regulated customers, the law determines that distribution companies must perma- nently have electricity available to supply its customers and it must obtain such electricity through open, non-dis- criminatory and transparent public tenders. These tenders are designed by the CNE and are carried out at least five years in advance to award 20-year term contracts. If de- mand changes unexpectedly, the authority has the power to call a short-term tender and also a regulated procedure to remunerate noncontracted electricity sales. The processes for setting distribution tariffs are carried out every four years based on a cost analysis to determine the the typical area concept. To determine the VAD, the CNE classifies the companies with similar distribution costs into groups named “typical areas”. For each typical area, the CNE and the distribution companies hire independent consultants to carry out stud- ies to determine the costs of an efficient model company, considering fixed costs, average energy and capacity loss- es, and standard investment, maintenance, and operations costs related to electricity distribution. The annual invest- ment costs are calculated based on the Net Replacement Cost (VNR in its Spanish acronym) of facilities adjusted to demand, expected life and a 10% real annual discount rate. The VAD is then determined as a weighted average, one- third of the value estimated by the study of the companies and two-thirds by the CNE. The CNE then determines the basic tariffs and verifies that the aggregate return of the industry is within the 10% plus/minus 4% range. Additionally, every four years, when the VAD is being calcu- lated, the Antitrust Court reviews the services considered to be Related Services and subject to price regulation. The Chilean distribution model is a consolidated model that has carried out eight price-settings processes since the pri- vatization of the sector. 107 Industry regulation and electricity system operationsb) Regulatory issues 2017 Law 20,928 - Tariff equality law On June 22, 2016, the Ministry of Energy published Law 20,928 in the official gazette. This Law establishes “elec- tricity tariff equality mechanisms” and modifies the Elec- tricity Law D.F.L. 4/2006. This law states that the maximum tariffs that distribution companies may charge residential customers must not exceed the average national tariff by more than 10%. The differences arising from the appli- The process was led by the Secretary of Energy in collab- oration with the university Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. During November and December of 2016 and until late January of 2017, workshops were carried out dis- cussing the following issues: “Development of the distri- bution network”, “Financing the Network of the future and its tariff structure”, “Electricity distribution business model”, and “Services offered by the network of the future”. This first diagnostic stage of the distribution sector concluded on April 13. The results are expected to be disclosed by the authorities of the next government.

Notwithstanding the above, the law empowers the regu- lator to incorporate certain services that are not electricity distribution supply into the VAD. Within this context, in January 2017, the Ministry of En- ergy, the CNE and the Chilean SEC announced that the cost of the “interruption and reconnection” service due to non-payment would no longer be charged as a distri- bution-related service, but to be included in the electricity distribution tariff for 2016 – 2020. Distribution Law Rules published in 2017 Several rules related to the Transmission Law (Law 20,936) were published in 2017. The rules enacted to this date are: Long term Electric Energy Planning Rules; Rule setting the requirements and procedures applicable to international trade of electric services; Rules to determine the prelimi- nary sections of new transmission system works; Rules to determine and pay compensation for unavailability of elec- tricity supply and the Rules to dictate the technical norms governing technical aspects, such as, safety, coordination, electricity information and figures regarding electricity sec- tor operations. In December, the Rules on Complementary Services were submitted to the Government Comptroller Office. It is expected to be published in early 2018. The work carried out regarding the Transmission Law was published through Exempt Resolution 659: Technical provi- On September 29, 2016, the seminar entitled “The Future sions to implement Article 8 of Law 20,870 that regulates of Electricity Distribution” took place formally opening the the tax payments for thermal electric power plant emis- discussion on the new national electricity distribution law. sions as indicated in the Tax Law Reform. 108 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017Technical service quality norm applicable to distri- bution systems Exempt Resolution CNE 706 that set the technical service quality norm for distribution systems was published on De- cember 18, 2017. The preparation of this norm was part of the CNE 2017 Regulatory Plan. It was carried out by form- ing an advisory committee and then submitting the text to public consultation. The new regulation increases electricity distribution tech- nical and commercial requirements. The aspects worth highlighting among the new rules are: Reliability indicators (includes SAIDI, SAIFI, TIC and FIC indicators); product quality; measurement; monitoring and control; and com- mercial quality. 2017 Transmission expan- sion plan The Electricity Law includes a procedure that must be carried out every year to plan for new transmission facili- ties. Within this context, on December 29, 2017, the CNE published Exempt Resolution 770 that defined the new projects and expansion projects resulting from this annual planning process. According to the stages identified by the Law, those interested (duly registered in the citizen par- ticipation register) may present their observations to the expansion plan during the first days of January 2018. c) Tariff reviews and supply processes c.1 Electricity distribution tariff setting process The tariff setting process for the 2016-2020 period conclud- ed with the publication of tariff decree 11T in the Official Gazette that sets the distribution tariff formulas effective, retroactively, from November 4, 2016. 109 Industry regulation and electricity system operationsc.2 Tariff setting process of electricity distribution re- lated services The “Final Electricity Distribution-Related Services Cost Study Report” was published on January 20, 2017. The CNE approved the technical report entitled “Tariff Formu- las of Non-Electricity Supply Services, related to Electricity Distribution” through Exempt Resolution 213 dated April 27, 2017. To the date of this report, the tariff decree with the new tariffs is pending. c.3 Tariff setting process of zonal transmission As determined by Article 20 of the transitory provisions of Law 20,936, the results of the tariff process carried out for the 2016-2019 period are applicable to the 2018-2019 period. The “Preliminary Technical Report on the Annual Value of the Zonal System and the Dedicated Transmission System 2018-2019” was published on February 10, 2017 through CNE Exempt Resolution 83. The Final Technical Report was published on March 28, 2017 through CNE Exempt Resolution 149. To the date of this report, the tariff decree that will set the new tariffs is pending. c.4 Transmission tariff set- ting process 2020-2023 Within the context of the Electricity Transmission Tariff setting process for 2020-2023, the regulator issued the preliminary technical report “Rating of Transmission Sys- tem Installations” through CNE Exempt Resolutions 771 dated December 29, 2017. Also, through Exempt Reso- lutions 769 the CNE issued the Preliminary Technical and Administrative Terms required to carry out the Valuation of Transmission System Installations. According to the stag- es identified by the Law, those interested (duly registered in the citizen participation register) may present their ob- servations to these documents during the first days of Jan- uary 2018. 110 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017c.5 Electricity tenders Three tenders have been carried out under the new ten- der’s law: Supply Tender 2015/01, Supply Tender 2015/02, and Supply Tender 2017/01. The 2015/02 tender began in June 2015 and concluded in October 2015. It awarded three blocks for a total 1.2 TWh/ yr (100%) at an average 79.3US$/MWh.

Operational and commercial scenario General view of the operational and commercial scenario The hydrology in the SIC was, on average, better than 2016 (one of the driest in statistical history) but maintained the dry trend present over the last nine consecutive years since 2010, experiencing only some relief in 2014, 2015 and towards the end of 2017. This led to an increase in the hy- droelectric contribution to the system when compared to 2016, and a slight reduction in thermal generation dispatch. Generation costs were, on average, higher during the first semester and gradually declined during the second semes- ter and more significantly during the last quarter, because hydrology intensified towards the last quarter of 2017 and fuel prices increased when compared to 2016. A moderate increase in consumption, which was 2.4% in the SIC, and the greater generation of renewable solar and wind power contributed to containing generation costs. The renewable solar and wind generation capacity increased 1,460 MW in 2017, which represents a 91% increase when compared to the solar and wind capacity that was added to the system (3) Celta S.A. was absorbed by GasAtacama Chile S.A. on November in 2016. 1, 2016. Enel Generación Chile increased its hydroelectric contribu- tion following the trend in the SIC, but maintained its level of thermal generation when compared to 2016. Coal fueled power plants, Bocamina I and II, reduced generation, but were compensated by greater natural gas fueled genera- tion. 115 Electricity Generation The integration of the SIC and SING began in November A total 24 generation companies presented offers, a high 2017 with the start-up of operations of a 1,500 MW trans- number of participants, reaching an aggregate 20,700 mission line extending 3,100 km. that allows integrating GWh/yr., slightly more than nine times the energy ten- the production and consumption of the country’s two most dered, which reflects a high level of competition in this bid important electricity systems.

Hydroelectricity increased from 36% in 2016 to 39% in 2017, representing a 12.5% ca power plant to generate about 1.7 TWh during 2017, pos- itively adding to the commercial margin of both companies. During 2017, the average price of fuels increased when compared to 2016. Coal was the predominant fuel in elec- tricity generation and its price increased a significant 42% from an average 82 US$/ton in 2016 to roughly 117 US$/ton in 2017. Regarding the price of LNG, although the purchase prices of Enel Generación Chile are confidential, according to information provided by the electricity authority, the av- erage price increased 19% from 2.49 US$/MMBTU in 2016 to 2.97 US$/MMBTU in 2017.

Metrogas, Enap and Enel Generación Chile, jointly promot- ed the development of the GNL Quintero Terminal, a facility that has played a crucial role in the supply of energy to the central region of Chile for both residential and industrial customers and also for the electricity system as a whole. In 2017, Enel Generación Chile sold its entire 42.5% owner- ship share of Electrogas to Aerio Chile, a subsidiary of the Portuguese company REN-Redes Energeticas Nacionais for US$ 180 million. This sales contract does not affect the use of Electrogas´ pipeline to transport the gas required by Enel to supply electricity generation power plants. In terms of electricity operations, the availability of LNG provided by the long-term supply contract with BG Global Energy Ltd (BG) in addition to the two shipments of LNG tially unloaded the first LNG shipment transported from the Quintero terminal to the Mejillones terminal since both power plants began operations. This allowed providing a greater amount of LNG to the central region to face the existing drought conditions. In terms of LNG trading activities, there were no significant events during 2017. Enel Generación Chile sold three LNG shipments, includ- ing the sale of two shipments of LNG to Enel Trade to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This was the first interna- tional trading transaction outside Latin America related to the BG contract. Also, the Company, along with ENAP and Agesa (compa- ny related to Metrogas) reached a new export agreement Enarsa (with Empresa Nacional de Energia Argentina), to export natural gas from the Quintero terminal to Argentina. Natural gas exported amounted to 277 million cubic me- ters. Enel Generación Chile contributed with 32% of such amount. In 2017, the Company once again signed a terminal use agreement, TUA, with GNL Mejillones that allowed unload- ing an LNG shipment. This transaction allowed renewing natural gas sales contracts with mining and industrial cus- tomers located in northern Chile making Enel Generación Chile the main industrial gas trader in northern Chile. It also makes natural gas available for the generation units of Enel Generación Chile (Taltal and GasAtacama) connected to the northern gas pipeline network. 119 Electricity Generation The main satellite regasification plant built to this date, The main actions carried out are described below. located in Teno, began operations in 2017 and is supplied with Enel Generación Chile LNG transported in trucks.

The project involves the construction of a pass-through hydroelectric power plant with installed capacity of approximately 150 MW, using 2 vertical axle Pelton units that will utilize water from the Maule lagoon reservoir. The plant will be connected to the national elec- tricity network by an 87 km transmission line to the Ancoa substation. The environmental qualification resolutions required for the power plant and the transmission line were obtained in 2011 and 2012 respectively. In 2014, the hydraulic works plan of the project was approved. By the end of 2017, the physical progress of the project was 61%, the excavation of the tunnel reached 7.2 km, the civil works of the underground powerhouse cavern had concluded and the installation of electromechanical equip- ment was in progress. Regarding the transmission lines, 60% of the structure was assembled and 4.6 km of cable have been installed. The total investment accrued as of December 31, 2017 was Ch$ 274,958 million. Based on the information available up to the date of this report, the investment is estimated to exceed the nominal amount approved for the development and construction stage, in 20% to 25%. The power plant is expected to begin operations during the second semester of 2020. 121 Electricity Generation Tarapacá DeSox & DeNOx environmental equipment project The Tarapacá power plant is a 158 MW coal fired thermal unit whose average annual generation is 1,100 GWh, and is connected to the Northern Interconnected System (SING). On June 23, 2011, DS 13 was issued to regulate the emis- sions of thermal power plants, forcing the reduction of SO2 and NOx emissions by June 23, 2016. This rule im- plied adapting the Tarapacá power plant to comply with the decree by installing a desulphurization system (DeSox) and adopting methods to reduce NOx emissions (DeNOx). Main progress achieved in 2017: • Since December 15, 2016 the power plant became available to operate commercially and is mitigating its environmental impact. • During 2017 the works pending were concluded and the principal contracts related to the project were closed. The estimated total investment is Ch$ 68,240 million, of which Ch$ 67,696 million was accrued as of December 31, 2017. Optimization of Bocamina´s second unit Bocamina is a coal fired generation power plant located in the Coronel district (Concepción. southern Chile) com- prised of two units, 128 MW and 350MW. Bocamina unit 2 began commercial operations in October 2012, but was interrupted in December 2013 due to a judi- cial order issued by the Concepcion Court. Enel Generación Chile submitted a new environmental im- pact study (EIA in its Spanish acronym) in December 2013, proposing a technical optimization plan. The EIA was ap- proved on March 16, 2015 and obtained the RCA approval on April 2, 2015. The plan involves performing the following works: • Installation of Johnson filters to both units to mitigate the suction of microbiological organisms. • Installation of a geodesic structure on the north and south coal fields. • • • Improvement of the landfill for ashes. Evaluation of a new landfill for ashes. Installing a rainwater treatment plant. Main progress achieved in 2017 was the following: • The Municipal Works Department (DOM in its Spanish acronym) of Coronel approved the dome built on the north coal field on July 12, 2017, and it became opera- tional on July 17. • The construction permit of the dome for the south coal field was granted by the Coronel DOM on January 27, 2017. • The installation of the metallic structure on the south coal field concluded on December 21, 2017, 62 days before the programmed date. The construction is ex- pected to conclude in 2018. The total estimated investment is Ch$ 62,026 million. As of December 31, 2017, a total Ch$ 53,695 million had been disbursed. 122 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017 Enel Chile projects under evaluation Neltume and Choshuenco Hydroelectric Project Taltal optimization project The project is located in the Antofagasta Region.

The “Final Electricity Distribution-Related Services Cost la Frontera. Enel Distribución Chile Enel Distribución Chile is the largest electricity distribution company in Chile in terms of electric energy sales. It oper- ates in 33 districts of the Metropolitan Region and its con- cession area covers more than 2,105 square kilometers, including the areas covered by its subsidiaries Empresa Eléctrica de Colina Ltda. and Luz Andes Ltda. In 2017, the Company provided electricity to 1,882,394 customers, 3.1% more than in 2016. Of total customers, 89.6% are residential customers, 7.7% are commercial customers, 0.7% are industrial customers and 2.0% are other customers. During 2017, Enel Distribución Chile sold 16,438 GWh to its final customers, which represents a 3.2% increase when compared to 2016. Enel Distribución Chile successfully fulfilled its Losses Plan for 2017, developed and implemented to keep losses at economically acceptable levels. As of December, the TAM indicator was 5.1%. Later, the CNE approved the Technical Report entitled “Tar- iff Formulas of Non-Electricity Supply Services, related to Electricity Distribution” through Exempt Resolution 213 dated April 27, 2017. To the date of this report, the tariff decree with the new tariffs is pending. Enel Distribución Chile also presented its observations on this Report, as es- tablished by the rules of the process. As of this date, the decree to set the new tariffs has not been published. Infrastructure and network projects Smart Meters Project The Enel group has more than 40,000 smart meters in operation, especially in Italy and Spain. This smart meter solution involves new meters, data concentrators, tele- communications infrastructure and centralized systems that allow remote and automated (reading, disconnections, reconnections, and tariff changes) management of meters through a two-way information flow. It also allows custom- ers to install solar panels and inject their surplus energy into the distribution network without the need of any addi- tional equipment. Distribution tariffs are set every four years based on cost studies conducted by specialized consulting firms.

One of our goals for 2018 will be to expand our presence outside our concession area. The office we opened in Concepcion contributes to this goal. Our success in the residential segment and our eagerness to continue developing this industry has led us to develop products for Small and Medium Sized Companies (“PYME” in its Spanish acronym). This sector demands more energy and are clearly interested in these products. We therefore developed 5, 7, and 10 kWp three-phase kits to add to our photovoltaic product line. We have also developed a 500 Wp kit (may be increased to 3 kWp) to be installed by us following the same procedure applicable to the rest of our products. We are confident that this kit will allow other types of customers to have ac- cess to this technology thanks to the financing options we offer our customers to purchase these products. In addition, we have installed more than 110 photovoltaic systems for residential customers and PYMEs within the framework of the Distributed Electricity Generation Law 20,571, which represents an important milestone in the massification of this type of technology.

These buses have a charging system, installed by Enel, that has the capacity to cover 250 kilometers after charging for two to three hours. Electric Transantiago The first two 100% electric buses began operations as part of the Transantiago fleet of the 516 Metbus route on Tues- day, November 14, benefitting eight districts in Santiago. The vehicles provided by Enel under a leasing contract are BYD and may accommodate 81 passengers. The seats are padded, there is air conditioning, wifi, USB cellular char- gers, and a safe and separate cabin for the driver. The business model offered by Enel to Metbus consists of a monthly fee that includes the bus, energy and charging infrastructure. Maintenance is provided directly by the manufacturer of the bus to Metbus. 131 Electricity Distribution19Environment and sustainability 132 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017133 Letter from the ChairmanEnvironmental management highlights Regarding the San Isidro thermal power plant, during 2017 a new flow rate available for dilution to discharge into the river was approved and new alternative wells to supply wa- ter to the plant were identified. On December 20, 2017, the General Water Authority (DGA in its Spanish acronym) authorized changing the location of the underground water intake, providing the power plant with flexibility regarding fresh water supply. On that same day, the DGA approved the request presented by Enel Generación Chile to in- crease the months available for dilution, which also adds flexibility to comply with the discharge limits of waste to the Aconcagua River. Regarding progress in environmental management of ther- mal plant Bocamina, on June 5, 2017, the construction of the roof on the north coal field was approved and the con- struction of the roof on the south coal field began. Also worth mentioning is Bocamina´s pilot project of real time data transmission to the Superintendence of the Environ- ment (SMA in its Spanish acronym)). Bocamna is the first power plant to make this connection in the country. In 2017, the environmental authority also resolved in favor of the questions we submitted to the SEIA relative to new locations for Bocamina to dispose of coal ashes. This pro- vides flexibility in managing coal ashes avoiding the need to build a new landfill. As part of the Environmental and Social Recovery Program of Coronel (CRAS Coronel), the company, with the com- munity, regional authorities and other companies defined a plan of environmental and social measures to be perma- nently developed in the district. With regard to the environmental management activities of the hydroelectric power plant´s Action Plan, the con- struction of the new storage room to store hazardous sub- stances at the Laja power plants was completed, which allows satisfying the requirements of D.S. 43/2016 issued by the Ministry of Health. The new Hazardous Waste Man- agement Plan for the Maule power plants was approved by the Health authority, which allows satisfying the require- ments of D.S. 148 “Health Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management” (Seremi de Salud Res 0764). Regarding the commitments related to the RCA of the Ral- co hydroelectric power plant, 2017 highlights are the fol- lowing: • In January, Enel Generación Chile and Universidad de Concepcion implemented the reforestation plan to plant a total 700 hectares with native trees as part of the Ral- co power plant construction mitigation program. Several members of the indigenous community of the Bio Bio and Araucania Region were trained to collect the seeds of the native trees. • The activities to recuperate the lots used as dumps and deposits during the construction of the Ralco power plant began in January. The goal is to recuperate the land by planting native trees. • In March, Enel Generación Chile officially handed over the cemetery to the El Barco community. The Bio Bio re- gional director of the National Indigenous Development Corporation, (Conadi in its Spanish acronym) performed the honor. Building this cemetery was a commitment of Enel Generación Chile related to the construction of the Ralco Power plant. • In March, a thematic map identifying the location of her- itage sites in the district was presented to the mayor of the Alto Bio Bio district, Nivaldo Piñaleo, to be exhibited in the local museum. Three thousand brochures written in three languages (English, Spanish and Chedungun) were also donated to promote these sites. This activity is part of the project “Identifying and Protecting Heritage Sites”, which Is one of the five compensatory measures defined by the environmental authority in 2006. • The construction of the Lonquimay Bridge, one of the compensatory measures related to the construction of the Ralco Power plant, concluded in April. It is the access to the New Barrio community in Lonquimay. 134 Annual Report Enel Chile 2017 • Within the context of Ralco’s RCA, the implementation proposal of the Long-Term Development Plan for the Ayin Mapu and El Barco communities that were relo- cated was prepared in 2016. The proposal was defined by the members of the communities, and their leaders through workshops in which they Identified their Inter- ests, and opportunities for Improvement, by defining the activities and projects they expect to begin developing in 2017. Green taxes The SMA approved the proposed methodology to quantify emissions the entire thermal park of Enel Generación and its subsidiary GasAtacama, as defined by resolutions of the Superintendence. During 2017, the power plants reported their emissions based on the approved methodology and taxes for 2017 will be paid in 2018 based on such reports. Compliance with thermoelectric power plant emission standard The thermoelectric park of Enel Generación Chile and its subsidiary GasAtacama continue working to comply with the latest versions of protocols and guidelines defined by D.S 13/11 issued by the Superintendence of the Environ- ment. In July 2017, the SMA published the reports verifying com- pliance with the limits established by D.S No 13/11 based on the quarterly reports uploaded by each power plant to the SMA´s “Thermal Power Plant” website. The SMA ver- ified that all Electricity Generation Units (UGE in its Span- ish acronym) of the company complied with the emissions limits. New projects The hydroelectric power plant Pehuenche was chosen as the “Sustainable Pilot Power Plant”. This initiative seeks to develop projects with shared value that additionally con- tribute to the operational efficiency of the plants. On January 17, 2017, the Evaluation Commission of the Antofagasta Region approved the DIA of the Optimization Project to transform the TalTal power plant into a combined cycle that began in December 2013. The Environmental Qualification Resolution was Res. Ex. 24/2017. On December 28, 2017, the Evaluation Commission of An- tofagasta approved the Environmental Impact Study of the Ttanti Thermal power plant (1,290 MW combined cycle lo- cated in Mejillones).

Enel Chile opposes to any form of cor- ruption, direct or indirect, within any process of the value chain, any business location and with any stakeholder. This model is based on the Global Compliance Program of the Enel Group, which is comprised of a series of spe- cific programs that respond to local legislation and the highest international standards, such as, ISO 37,001, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act FCPA (U.S.A) and the Brib- ery Act (United Kingdom). The Group has also incorporated the definitions of the Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Objectives, both developed by the United Nations. The Penal Risk Prevention Model covers all the require- ments of the Crime Prevention Model defined by Law 20,393. The objective of the Compliance System is to contribute to Enel’s development of a long-term relationship of trust with its stakeholders, implementing activities in a respon- sible manner and communicating them transparently.

Suppliers and contractors’ employees adhere to the provi- sions of these programs by means of the General Contract- ing Conditions, a set of clauses that stress the importance and facilitate the control and proper implementation of the Compliance System specified in Law 20,393 applicable to Enel Chile and all its subsidiaries. Enel Chile and each sub- sidiary has its own specific compliance system. If a potential or real action that opposes the principles of the Penal Risk Prevention Model were to take place, any stake- holder may present a complaint through the Complaints Channel managed by the Internal Audit Department. This channel has specific management procedures that guar- antee confidentiality and no retaliation to the complainant. This channel is managed with an external platform that uses industry standards in terms of confidentiality and is accessible through the internet, telephone or in writing. Open Power Vision Enel Generación Chile has identified the “Open” concept as the focal point of its business, a cornerstone of its strategy and operations. The idea is to Open energy to more people; Open energy to new technologies; offer people new ways to manage energy; add new uses to energy; and add more contributors to energy. 137 Environment and Sustainability Sustainable development objectives 1.

Given that the above-mentioned interim dividend has already been paid, the distribution and pay- ment of final dividend No 3 shall amount to a total Ch$121,527,144,216, or Ch$2.47546 per share. • On August 25,2017, it was informed as a significant event that the Board of Directors of Enel Chile S.A. (hereafter “Enel Chile” or the “Company”), in its ex- traordinary session held August 25, 2017, analyzed a let- ter sent to the Company by its controlling shareholder, Enel SpA, (the “Enel SpA Letter”) in which Enel SpA favorably viewed the non-binding proposal sent by Enel Chile to Enel SpA on July 3, 2017 (the “Enel Chile Let- ter”). The proposal contained in the Enel Chile Letter consists of a corporate reorganization within the Enel Group, through which Enel Chile S.A. would merge with Enel Green Power Latin America Ltda., adding the latter’s non-conventional renewable energy generation assets in Chile to Enel Chile S.A.. The Enel Chile Letter was sent to the Superinten- dence of Securities and Insurance (“SVS”) on July 4, 2017 as a Confidential Event and a copy is being made available to all shareholders and the market in general through this filing. As indicated in the Enel Chile Letter, the proposal also implies that the merger is conditioned to the success of a Public Tender Offer (“PTO”), to be carried out by Enel Chile to acquire up to 100% of the common shares issued by its subsidiary, Enel Generación Chile S.A. owned by mi- nority shareholders. The aforementioned PTO would be a mixed tender offer, that is, partly payable in cash and partly in common shares issued by Enel Chile, and subject to the condition precedent that after the PTO, Enel Chile must own at least 75% of Enel Generación Chile’s issued capital. For the PTO to be possible, Enel Chile must carry out a capital increase so as to incorporate Enel Generación Chile’ shareholders who tender their shares. Likewise, the success of such PTO will be subject to the execution of an amendment to Enel Generación Chile’s bylaws, to eliminate the restrictions imposed by Title XII of Decree 3,500/1980, on stock concentration and other restrictions.
