Letter from the Chairman We continue to grow in public transportation. Enel X pur-

chased the first 100 electric BYD buses that will be oper-

ated by Metbus under a leasing arrangement. This fleet of 

buses operate in the Grecia Avenue corridor since Decem-

ber.  We  also  installed  Latin-America´s  first  electrotermi-

nals, one in the Peñalolen district and one in Maipu. I have 

no doubt that these first 100 electric buses we imported 

with the support of the Government, represent an auspi-

cious beginning to a new public transportation system that 

will integrate the subway and a significant number of bus 

routes.

During  2018,  we  also  expanded  into  other  cities  in  Chile, 

other than Santiago.  We brought the first electric bus to 

Concepción, and along with the municipality and the De-

partment  of  Transportation,  we  inaugurated  the  first  free 

electric bus route in this city. 

Such developments have led us to be included in the Dow 

Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index, in the Dow 

Jones Sustainability MILA 1 Pacific Alliance Index, and in 

the Dow Jones Sustainability Chile Index for the first time.  

This  recognizes  the  importance  the  Company  has  placed 

on responsible corporate governance and sustainability. 

Looking  beyond  the  work  we  perform  on  a  daily  basis, 

we  also  aspire  to  contribute  to  the  community  in  other 

ways. This year we were part of the Code Blue Plan and 

offered our corporate gymnasium in Santiago as a shelter 

for homeless people on the coldest and rainiest nights of 

the winter season. We continued to encourage youngsters 

to participate in sports through the Enel Cup that received 

more  than  150  teams  from  three  regions  of  the  country, 

making  it  the  most  important  scholastic  soccer  tourna-

ment in Chile. We are also proud to tell you that Enel Chile 

participated in the 40th Annual Telethon, an opportunity to 

contribute to a special cause that also motivates and brings 

joy to our collaborators.

MW to the system. This balance between different types

working on improving energy efficiency to better respond 

to the needs of an electro dependent society. I refer to effi-

digital metering devices, among other things. The improve-

Enel Chile S.A., formerly “Enersis Chile S.A.”, was created 

as a consequence of the corporate reorganization that be-

gan in April 2015.  Enersis S.A. controlled the generation, 

transmission  and  distribution  business  in  Chile  and  four 

other countries in the region (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, 

and Peru).  

The  Extraordinary  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  Enersis  S.A. 

held  on  December  18,  2015,  approved  the  first  phase  of 

the  reorganization  plan  named  “the  Division,”  which  cre-

ated  Enersis  Chile  S.A.  as  the  only  vehicle  to  control  the 

Group’s generation and distribution assets in Chile. Enersis 

S.A became Enersis Americas S.A., the vehicle to control 

all assets of the businesses in other countries in the region. 

The Division was recorded in a public deed issued on Jan-

uary 8, 2016 by the Santiago Notary Public, Mr. Ivan Torre-

alba Acevedo, and its extract was registered in the Com-

mercial  Register  (Registro  de  Comercio  del  Conservador 

de Bienes Raíces y Comercio de Santiago) on pages 4,288 

No 2,570 of 2016 and published in the Official Gazette on 

January 20, 2016.

Later,  on  October  4,  2016,  the  shareholders  of  Enersis 

Chile S.A. approved changing the name of the Company to 

“Enel Chile S.A.” This agreement was recorded in a public 

deed on October 18, 2016 by the Santiago Notary Public, 

Mr.  Ivan  Torrealba  Acevedo.  Its  extract  was  registered  in 

the Commercial Register (Registro de Comercio del Con-

servador  de  Bienes  Raíces  y  Comercio  de  Santiago)  on 

pages 79,330 No 42,809 of 2016 and published in the Offi-

cial Gazette on October 28, 2016.

Diversity

As  part  of  the  Company’s  Diversity  and  Inclusion  Policy, 

Enel Chile has developed several practices addressing gen-

der,  age,  nationality,  and  disability.    This  policy  promotes 

the  principles  of  non-discrimination,  equal  opportunities, 

inclusion and work-life balance as fundamental values.

The Policy has established three main principles: 

1.  Reject any and all forms of arbitrary discrimination and 

ensure and promote diversity, inclusion, and equal op-

portunities. 

2.  Promote and maintain an environment of respect for 

people’s dignity, honor and identity.

portunity to consolidate their academic knowledge of Enel

Annual Report Enel Chile 2018Market 
information

The level of risk appetite this year was lower than 2017 and 

investors  fled  from  emerging  markets.  In  general,  uncer-

tainly increased globally due to the possibility that central 

banks  would  reduce  liquidity  and  that  the  United  States 

would increase the interest rate.  Market volatility in 2018 

was significant as a consequence of the economic conflict 

between China and the United States, which resulted from 

imposing reciprocal trade tariffs on imports.  The global re-

percussions of this conflict have been difficult for emerging 

markets to overcome.

Letter from the Chairman History 
of the 
Company 

Enel Chile S.A. was created as part of the corporate reor-

ganization process of Enersis S.A that began in April 2015.  

Enersis  S.A.  controlled  the  generation,  transmission  and 

distribution  business  in  Chile  and  four  other  countries  in 

the region (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru).  The Ex-

traordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Enersis S.A. held in 

December 2015 approved the first phase of the reorgani-

zation  plan  entitled  “the  Division”,  which  created  Enersis 

Chile as the only vehicle to control the Group’s generation 

and distribution assets in Chile. Enersis S.A became Ener-

sis Americas S.A., the vehicle to control all assets of the 

businesses in other countries in the region.

On  September  28,  2016  the  Shareholder’s  Meeting 

of  Enersis  Américas,  Endesa  Américas,  and  Chilectra 

Américas  approved  the  second  phase  of  the  plan  called 

“the  Merger”  in  which  Enersis  Américas  absorbed  the 

businesses  of  Endesa  Américas  and  Chilectra  Américas.  

During the same meeting, shareholders agreed to change 

the name of Enersis Américas S.A to Enel Américas S.A.

On  October  4,  2016,  the  shareholders  of  Enersis  Chile, 

Endesa Chile and Chilectra agreed to change their names 

to Enel Chile, Enel Generación Chile and Enel Distribución 

Chile respectively.

The organizational simplification process of the Group has 

concluded,  and  Enel  Chile  participates  in  the  electricity 

generation business through its subsidiary Enel Generación 

Chile.  This  subsidiary  has  111  generation  units  installed 

throughout the National Electricity System reaching a total 

aggregate installed capacity of 6,274 MW, placing it among 

the most important energy companies in the country.

Endesa Chile S.A. and Chilectra S.A. went through a simi-

lar division process.

Enel Chile participates in the distribution business through 

the  subsidiary  Enel  Distribución  Chile,  Empresa  Electrica

Letter from the Chairman Relevant projects of the 
Company’s Investment 
Plan

Enel  Chile  coordinates  the  global  financing  strategy  of  the 

Group´s companies, including loans among such companies, 

in addition to the terms and conditions of financings, to op-

timize the Group´s debt management. The subsidiaries gen-

erally develop their capital expenditure plans independently, 

financing them with internally generated funds or direct fi-

nancing. One of the objectives is to focus on investments 

that  will  provide  long-term  social  and  economic  benefits, 

such as, the environmental and sustainability improvement 

projects of Bocamina 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 par-

ticular financing structure has been committed and the in-

vestments will depend on the market conditions at the time 

the cash flows are needed.

Generation 

The  main  investments  developed  in  Chile  during  2018 

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  optimization  projects  of  Bocamina  II  power 

plant  (350  MW).  The  current  priorities  include  the  devel-

opment of environmentally and socially responsible hydro-

electric  and  non-conventional  renewable  energy  projects 

to guarantee adequate levels of electricity supply.

In  2018  a  total  Ch$  21  billion  were  invested  in  medium 

voltage and low voltage networks allowing to connect new 

customers, both residential and large customers and con-

Additionally, a total Ch$ 4 billion were invested in relocating 

public network infrastructure, of which the most relevant 

were the Independencia and Matta-Quilicura corridors.   

To comply with regulation, Ch$ 4 billion were invested in 

legal procedures to normalize lines and substations.

Investment  in  anti-theft  projects  to  shield  the  network 

amounted  to  Ch$  3  billion,  including  installing  Ananda 

boxes, turtle anti-theft devices, reinforcing lines and other 

technical measures to more than 16,500 customers.

Nearly Ch$ 3 billion were used to finance corrective main-

tenance of transmission lines, and substations. A series of 

maintenance works also focused on high risk facilities.

Finally, one of the greatest achievements of the Company 

in  2018  was  the  installation  of  190,846  smart  meters  in 

Santiago representing a Ch$ 12 billion investment, reaching 

a total 291,731 smart meters in operation in the 32 districts

Letter from the Chairman Risk 
management 
policy 

All  Enel  Chile  Group  companies  are  exposed  to  certain 

risks that are managed through the application of systems 

of identification, measurement, limit of concentration and 

supervision. 

The  basic  principles  defined  by  Group  in  establishing  its 

risk management policy include the following:

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate fluctuations modify the fair value of assets and li-

abilities that accrue interest at fixed rates, as well as the future 

flows of assets and liabilities based on a variable interest rate. 

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:

linked to currencies different than their respective op-

To mitigate exchange rate risk, the Enel Chile Group seeks 

to  maintain  a  balance  between  flows  indexed  in  US  dol-

lars or local currencies, should there be any, and levels of 

assets  and  liabilities  in  such  currency.  The  objective  is  to 

minimize cash flow exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. 

The instruments currently used to comply with this policy 

are currency swaps and exchange rate forwards.

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. 

In  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 qualify 

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 measured 

and monitored.

Reorganization - 
Elqui Project

95

Letter from the Chairman Elqui project

On August 25, 2017, the Board of Directors proposed a cor-

porate  reorganization  (hereafter  the  2018  Reorganization) 

to  the  shareholders  to  consolidate  the  conventional  and 

nonconventional renewable energy businesses in Chile in 

one  sole  company,  Enel  Chile,  that  would  be  the  only  in-

vestment vehicle of Enel in Chile. The 2018 Reorganization 

involved the following transactions:

>  A  merger  of  Enel  Green  Power  Latin  America  S.A. 

(EGPL) with and into Enel Chile (hereafter the Merger). 

EGPL is a limited liability corporation incorporated in 

Chile.  Before  the  2018  Reorganization,  EGPL  was 

a  member  of  the  Enel  Green  Power  group.  Enel 

Green  Power  is  a  multinational  company  dedicated 

to  electricity  generation  with  renewable  sources 

controlled  by  Enel.  EGPL  is  a  renewable  energy 

generation holding dedicated to electricity generation 

in  Chile  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary  Enel 

Green Power Chile Ltda. (hereafter EGP Chile).

December  20,  2017,  the  Extraordinary  Shareholders’ 

Meeting of Enel Chile approved the corporate reorganiza-

tion  process  (the  “Reorganization”)  that  includes  the  fol-

lowing phases:

According to Chilean law, the 2018 Reorganization was a 

related party transaction subject to the legal requirements 

established in Title XVI of Chile´s Corporations Law.  There-

fore, the following additional requirements were satisfied: 

>  A public tender offer in cash of shares by Enel Chile 

to  purchase  all  ordinary  shares  (including  American 

Depository Shares or ADS) of Enel Generación Chile, 

except  those  already  held  by  Enel  Chile  (hereafter 

Public  Tender  Offer)  The  Public  Tender  Offer  was 

subject to the condition that the shareholders offering 

their  shares  and  ADS  accept  to  use  Ch$  236  of  the 

Ch$ 590 offered for each Enel Generación share and 

Ch$  7,080  of  the  Ch$  17,700  for  each  ADS  of  Enel 

Generación to subscribe Enel Chile ordinary shares at 

an Ch$ 82 subscription price per share (or Ch$ 2,460 

per  ADS  of  Enel  Chile)  (hereafter  Enel  Chile  share/

ADS subscription condition);

>  A  capital 

increase 

(hereafter  Capital 

Increase), 

to  make  enough  ordinary  shares  available  to  be 

delivered  to  those  shareholders  and  ADS  holders  of 

Enel  Generación  selling  their  shares  and  ADS  and 

satisfying the condition to the Public Tender Offer to 

subscribe shares/ADS of Enel Chile.; and

> 

The board member and executives that had an inter-

est in the related party transaction declared such in-

terest;

> 

Two  thirds  of  the  outstanding  shares  with  voting 

rights  approved  the  related  party  transaction  in  the 

ESM held on December 20,2017; and

> 

The board resolutions that established the related par-

ty transactions and the identity of the board members 

that approved such transactions were disclosed in the 

OSM held on December 20, 2017.

The following requirements were also satisfied: 

> 

The  board  of  directors  appointed  an  independent 

evaluator  to  inform  shareholders  on  the  conditions, 

effects, and potential impacts of the operation on the 

Company;

96

Annual Report Enel Chile 2018> 

The directors´ committee appointed an additional in-

dependent evaluator;

> 

The opinions of independent evaluators were publicly 

disclosed; and

> 

Each board member publicly disclosed its opinion on 

whether the related party transaction was in the best 

interest  of  the  company  and  disclosed  any  possible 

interest in the related party transaction.

All  phases  of  the  2018  Reorganization  were  approved  by 

the shareholders of Enel Chile, Enel Generacion and EGPL 

in their respective extraordinary shareholders´ meetings, all 

held on December 20, 2017. The Public Tender Offer took 

place from February 16, 2018, to March 22, 2018; the pre-

emptive rights period related to the Capital Increase took 

place from February 15, 2018 to March 16, 2018 and the 

2018  Reorganization,  including  all  its  phases,  concluded 

and became effective on April 2, 2018.

The  materialization  of  the  2018  Reorganization  increased 

our shareholding in Enel Generacion from 60.0% to 93.5%.  

We continue to own 99.1% of Enel Distribucion. We cur-

rently consolidate the conventional and renewable electric-

ity generation business in Chile through Enel Generacion, 

the Chilean distribution business through Enel Distribución, 

and the nonconventional renewable electricity generation 

business in Chile through EGP Chile.  After the materializa-

tion of the 2018 Reorganization, Enel continues to be our 

parent company and controlling shareholder with a 61.9% 

shareholding  with  voting  rights  (excluding  the  shares 

owned by the company itself that will be cancelled).

Letter from the Chairman General 
features

a) Regulatory 
framework: 

Chile’s  electricity  sector  is  regulated  by  the  Chilean  Elec-

tricity Law 20,218, contained in the Ministry of Mining DFL 

1 issued in 1982.  Its restated text was established by Min-

istry  of  Economy  DFL  4,  issued  in  2006  (the  “Electricity 

Law”) and its respective regulations contained in D.S. 327 

issued in 1998. 

The  main  authority  in  the  energy  industry  is  the  Ministry 

of Energy that is the government body responsible for pro-

posing  and  delivering  comprehensive  public  policies  as  a 

coordinate  effort.    It  exists  since  February  1,  2010  as  an 

autonomous entity after being part of the Ministry of Min-

ing for many years.  

The  National  Energy  Commission  (”CNE”,  in  its  Spanish 

acronym)  that  regulates  the  electricity  industry  and  the 

Superintendence of Electricity and Fuel (Chilean “SEC”, in 

its Spanish acronym) that is the supervising body, are also 

relevant industry authorities.  They report to the Ministry 

of Energy.  Other entities that report to this Ministry are:  

the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission (“CChEN”, in its 

Spanish acronym), the Chilean Sustainable Energy Agency.

The CNE is the entity in charge of proposing the regulated 

tariffs, approving the annual transmission expansion plans, 

and elaborating the indicative plan for the construction of 

new electricity generation facilities.  The SEC inspects and 

oversees  compliance  with  the  law,  rules  regulations  and 

technical norms applicable to electricity generation, trans-

mission and distribution, liquid fuels and gas. 

Additionally, the law provides for a Panel of Experts, com-

prised of professional experts, whose main responsibility 

is to acts as a court, issuing enforceable resolutions in dis-

putes related to subjects referred to by the Electricity Law 

and other electricity related laws.  

100

According  to  the  Law,  the  operation  and  coordination  of 

the Chilean electricity system is to be carried out by a Na-

tional  Electricity  Coordinator.    It  is  an  independent  entity 

in  charge  of  coordinating  the  operation  of  the  electricity 

system  with  the  following  objectives:  i)  maintain  service 

security;  ii)  guarantee  the  efficient  operation  of  the  fa-

cilities  connected  to  the  system;  and  iii)  guarantee  open 

access  to  all  transmission  networks.    The  main  activities 

of this entity include the coordination of electricity market 

operations,  authorization  of  connections,  supplementary 

services management, implementation of information sys-

tems available to the public, and monitor competition and 

payments, among others.  

The Chilean electricity sector is physically divided into three 

main networks, the National Electricity Network (“SEN” in 

its  Spanish  acronym)  and  two  smaller  isolated  networks; 

Aysén  and  Magallanes.    The  SEN  is  the  outcome  of  the 

integration of the Central Interconnected System (“SIC” in 

its Spanish acronym) and the Norte Grande Interconnected 

System (“SING” in its Spanish acronym) that took place in 

November 2017.  Until then the SIC was the main grid and 

extended 2,400 km from Taltal in the north to Quellón on 

the  island  of  Chiloé  to  the  south.  The  SING  covered  the 

northern part of the country, from Arica to Coloso, and ex-

tended 700 km. 

The  electricity  industry  in  Chile  is  divided  into  three  seg-

ments or businesses: generation, transmission, and distri-

bution.  Operations of the related facilities must be inter-

connected and in coordination to supply electricity at the 

minimum  cost  within  the  certain  safety  and  quality  stan-

dards required by electricity industry regulation.  

Given  the  structural  characteristics  of  the  transmission 

and  distribution  segments,  they  are  considered  natural 

monopolies  and  are  therefore  subject  to  special  industry 

regulation, the network is open access, and tariffs are reg-

ulated.  

The Chilean electricity market trades two products (energy 

and capacity), and additionally several related services. The 

National Electricity Coordinator performs the calculation of 

market  balances,  determines  the  transfers  among  gener-

ation  companies  and  calculates  the  hourly  marginal  cost, 

which is the price at which energy transfers are carried out.  

The CNE determines the price of generation capacity.

Annual Report Enel Chile 2018Customers  are  classified  according  to  their  demand  as 

regulated or unregulated.  Regulated customers are those 

whose connected capacity is below 5,000 kW.  Customers 

with connected capacity between 500 kW and 5,000 kW 

may choose to be regulated or unregulated, subject to the 

respective price regime.

Non-conventional renewable 
energies 

Law  20,257  enacted  in  April  2008  creates  incentives  to 

use Non-Conventional Renewable Energies (NCRE).  This 

rule determined that by 2014, at least 5% of energy com-

mercialized  by  generators  must  come  from  renewable 

sources and must progressively increase 0.5% every year 

from 2015 until 2024 to reach 10%. This law was modified 

in 2013 by Law 20,698, entitled the 20/25 law, establish-

ing  that  by  2025,  20%  of  the  electricity  matrix  must  be 

covered by NCRE sources. For contracts in force up to July 

2013, the withdrawals established by the previous law are 

to be respected.

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-

The expansion of both systems is granted through an open 

tender  process  that  discriminates  new  installations  from 

enlargement of existing installations.  The tenders carried 

out  for  new  installations  grant  the  winner  ownership  of 

the  installation  to  be  built.    The  expansion  of  existing  in-

stallations, on the other hand, belongs to the owner of the 

original  installation,  who  must  tender  the  construction  of 

the required expansion. 

The remuneration of the new facilities is determined by the 

outcome of the bid and represents the income for the first 

20 years of operations. The remuneration of new facilities 

is determined by the investment amount resulting from the 

bid  and  the  applicable  operation  and  maintenance  costs. 

In both cases from year 21 on, the remuneration of such 

transmission facilities is determined as existing assets.

The  regulation  currently  in  force  determines  that  trans-

mission remuneration is the sum of tariff revenue and the 

billings of a fee for the use of transmission lines. Such fee 

is defined every six months by the CNE as an amount of 

Ch$ per kWh.

102

Annual Report Enel Chile 2018a.3 Distribution segment

Cost (VNR in its Spanish acronym) of facilities adjusted to 

demand, expected life and a 10% real annual discount rate.

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  serve  all  customers  and  provide  electricity  at  regulat-

ed  prices  to  regulated  customers  (customers  with  under 

5,000 kW connected capacity, unless falling within the 500 

and  5,000  kW  category  and  chose  the  nonregulated  tar-

iff). Nonregulated customers may negotiate their electrici-

ty 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-discrim-

inatory 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  demand 

changes unexpectedly, the authority has the power to call 

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 cal-

culated,  the  Antitrust  Court  reviews  the  services  consid-

ered to be Related Services and subject to price regulation. 

The Chilean distribution tariff model is a consolidated mod-

el that has carried out nine price-settings processes since

The  tariff  setting  process  for  the  2016-2020  period  con-

cluded  with  the  publication  of  Decree  11T  in  the  Official 

Gazette  on  August  4,  2017,  that  set  the  distribution  tariff 

formulas effective, retroactively, from November 4, 2016.

On  September  28,  2018,  Ministry  of  Energy  Decree  5T, 

which  replaces  Decree  11T,  2016,  became  effective 

updating  electricity  distribution  tariffs  until  the  next  tariff 

setting process.

c.2 Tariff setting process 
of electricity distribution

Non-Electricity Supply Services related to electricity distri-

bution.  Such prices are applicable since the Decree was 

published and are currently in force.

c.3 Tariff setting process of 
zonal transmission

The  Ministry  of  Energy  published  Decree  6T  on  October 

5, 2018.  This decree sets the annual value per section of

Operational 
and 
commercial 
scenario

General view of 
the operational and 
commercial scenario 

The National Electricity System began operations as the in-

terconnection of the SIC and SING in November 2017 and 

therefore has been in operation for a full year for the first 

time.  This  interconnection  allowed  both  markets  to  work 

as one, both operationally and commercially. The SIC, pri-

marily hydroelectric installed capacity, represented 75% of 

rainfall during the fall and winter months and greater during 

the last few months of the year, which resulted in overall 

hydrology and hydroelectric generation to be slightly higher 

than in 2017. NCRE generation was also higher in the SEN 

during  2018,  particularly  solar,  wind  and  biomass,  allow-

ing  thermal  generation,  mainly  oil  fueled  and  to  a  lesser 

extent natural gas and coal, to decline. Consequently, the 

system´s  generation  costs  in  2018  were  lower  than  2017 

despite the higher average fuel prices in 2018 when com-

pared to 2017, mainly oil, followed by coal and natural gas 

that increased less.

tions.  The  goal  of  such  policy  has  been  to  combine 

achieving an attractive return with a low exposure to

iv) 

Innovation is a priority for the Company and therefore 

it  is  constantly  adapting  to  new  market  challenges. 

For example, the reorganization of its generation busi-

ness  model  previously  mentioned  (subsidiaries  EGP 

Chile and Enel Generación Chile) allows sustaining fu-

ture growth and competitiveness in the industry. 

Hydrologic condition 

Hydroelectricity  represents  a  significant  portion  of  Enel 

Chile´s  generation  mix  and  has  a  significant  direct  impact 

on the Company´s margin. Therefore, a detailed discussion 

on  the  hydrologic  condition  is  relevant  to  the  Company.   

Hydrology in 2018 was similar to 2017.  Rainfall and water 

availability were irregular when compared to expectations. 

The first part of 2018 was quite dry, with rainfall below the 

normal  level  during  the  winter  months  until  august.  The 

Niño phenomena in spring brought a higher amount of rain 

during the last four months of the year partially reversing the 

dry  trend  present  in  previous  months  and  ending  the  year 

with a level of hydrology above 2017. Consequently, the first 

eight  months  of  the  year  were  dry  with  low  water  inflow 

and  high  average  accumulated  exceedance  probability, 

roughly  81%.  The  last  four  months  of  the  year,  the  snow 

melting  season,  was  better,  consistent  with  an  “average” 

exceedance  probability  of  roughly  65%,  which  led  to  a 

significant  recovery  of  reservoir  levels,  which  resulted  in 

a  75%  total  accumulated  exceedance  probability,  similar, 

although slightly better than in 2017 (78%).

Annual Report Enel Chile 2018The relevance of 
liquefied natural 
gas (LNG)

Enel  Chile  entered  the  LNG  market  in  2009  through  its 

subsidiary  Enel  Generación  Chile  when  the  GNL  Quinte-

ro Regasification Terminal began operations, which was a 

project of national interest that required a significant public 

and private effort to ensure the country a supply of natural 

gas since the Argentine supply had been interrupted. 

Enel Generación Chile, Metrogas, and Enap, jointly promot-

ed the development of the GNL Quintero Terminal, a facil-

ity 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.

The electricity generated by the Nueva Renca facility that is 

considered to be Enel Chile´s generation due to the rental 

agreements of the thermal power plant Nueva Renca with 

AES Gener and latter with Empresa Eléctrica de Santiago 

when it changed ownership to AME (Empresa de Merca-

do  Eléctrico  S.A),  amounted  to  0.5  TWh  and  along  with 

the electricity generated by San Isidro and Central Quinte-

ro (roughly 3.7 TWh)  totaled 4.2 TWh generated by Enel 

Generación with natural gas. This figure represented 5.5% 

of  the  SEN´s  annual  generation,  including  all  generation 

technologies.

In  terms  of  gas  commercialization  in  2018,  Enel  Chile 

through  Enel  Generación  Chile  sold  five  LNG  shipments, 

including the sale of two shipments of LNG to Enel Trade to 

be delivered in the United Kingdom, continuing with inter-

national trading transactions outside Latin America related 

to the BG contract to relevant international markets.

During 2018, the Quintero terminal unloaded 44 shipments 

of natural gas, a total 3,523 MMm3. Of that amount 1,096 

MMm3 were for Enel Generación Chile, to satisfy its com-

mercialization  and  electricity  generation  requirements. 

Roughly 692 MMm3 of gas belonging to other partners of 

the terminal, were sold to other generators connected to 

the SEN to generate electricity.

Also,  Enel  Generación  Chile  along  with  ENAP  and  Age-

sa  (company  related  to  Metrogas)  reached  a  new  export 

agreement Enarsa (with Empresa Nacional de Energia Ar-

gentina), to export natural gas from the Quintero terminal 

to  Argentina  I  2018.  Natural  gas  exported  amounted  to 

90.6 MMm3.  Enel Generación Chile contributed with 55% 

of such amount.

In  terms  of  electricity  operations,  the  availability  of  LNG 

provided by the long-term supply contract with BG Global 

Energy Ltd (BG) was key to compensate for the lower level 

of hydroelectricity available during most of the year due to 

the dry conditions present during the winter months. 

Regarding natural gas supply (NG), a new scenario of co-

operation and energy integration among private and public 

authorities of Chile and Argentina allowed reactivating the 

import of natural gas from Argentina to Chile that was in-

terrupted for eleven years. Within this context, Enel Chile, 

through  its  subsidiary  Enel  Generación  Chile,  signed  an 

interruptible  natural  gas  supply  agreement  with  YPF  and 

Total Austral and obtained the respective export permits in 

Argentina to begin to supply the San Isidro power plant on 

December 28, 2018.  

In  2018,  the  Company  signed  a  terminal  use  agreement, 

TUA, with GNL Mejillones once again 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  Chile  the 

main  industrial  gas  trader  in  northern  Chile.  It  also  made 

natural gas available for the generation units of Enel Chile 

(Taltal  and  GasAtacama)  connected  to  the  northern  gas 

pipeline network.  

The commercialization of LNG in trucks increased 30% in 

2018 when compared to 2017. Agreements were signed to 

deliver LNG to two new cities, in addition to the 5 existing 

ones, allowing the company to maintain its relevant posi-

tion in this market.

Enel  Generación  Chile  has  continued  consolidating  its 

position  as  a  relevant  player  in  the  gas  market  in  Chile, 

innovating and expanding its activities in the commercial-

ization of gas and LNG in the local and international market.

In the 
commercial 
front

The commercial actions carried out by Enel Chile through its 

subsidiary  Enel  Generación  Chile  in  2018  were  consistent 

with its commercial policy. The commercial policy focuses 

on  accomplishing  the  following  goals:  maintain  industry 

leadership; adequately manage risk and return under the ex-

isting supply and competitive market conditions; implement 

plans  to  strengthen  customer  loyalty,  add  additional  new 

customers, increase energy sales and increase commercial 

management efficiency within the company. The main ac-

tions carried out are described below.

New electricity supply contracts were signed with important 

nonregulated  industrial  customers  for  nearly  580  GWh/yr. 

with terms that go from 9 to 15 years. Important contracts 

were also signed with distribution companies to supply their 

nonregulated customers for 420 GWh/yr. with a 5 to 8-year 

term. 

As a consequence of a change in regulation in Chile allowing 

smaller customers to choose to be either regulated or non-

regulated, Enel Generación Chile signed approximately 150 

electricity supply contracts in 2018 with smaller nonregulated 

customers for a total 800 GWh/yr. for a 5-year term. 

In  November  2018,  the  Company  revealed  having  signed 

an  electricity  back  up  supply  contract  with  the  generator 

Engie  to  supply  electricity  to  regulated  customers.  Enel 

Generación Chile was awarded a contract with an average 

1,200 GWh/yr. for a 12-year period to begin supply in 2019.

Hydroelectric 
Project Vallecito

The project is located in the Maule Region, specifically on 

the  upper  basin  of  the  Maule  River.  It  is  a  pass-through 

hydroelectric  power  plant  with  nearly  55  MW  installed 

capacity.  The  energy  it  produces  will  be  supplied  to  the 

interconnected  system  using  the  line  that  is  currently  in 

construction  to  evacuate  electricity  from  the  Company´s 

Los Cóndores Hydroelectric power plant. 

Since  2015,  Vallecito  has  been  developed  based  on  sus-

tainable  criteria,  which  consists  of  defining  the  technical, 

economic, environmental and social aspects of the project 

considering high sustainability standards. This project has 

included community collaboration processes that have con-

tributed to a shared vision of the territory, and to identify 

the activities to be carried out in each of nine communities 

of the Pehuenche Route.

The  basic  engineering  studies  were  performed  in  2017, 

the  environmental  campaigns  concluded,  and  the  imple-

mentation of the sustainable development plan began by 

supporting the activities defined as a shared vision for the 

territory.

Based  on  the  commercial  opportunities  envisioned  for 

Vallecito,  the  next  step  will  be  the  preparation  of  the  en-

vironmental  studies  to  present  to  the  authority,  once  the 

design of the project, defined along with the community, 

has concluded.

quency variations, among others.

On  May.25,  2018,  the  environmental  authority  referred  to 

above issued Exempt Resolution 106/2018 stating that the 

project is not to be submitted to the Environmental Impact 

Evaluation System before its construction because it does 

not involve a material change to Central Taltal.

energy efficiency project that uses the heat generated by 

the existing gas turbines to produce steam. This is done by 

installing a steam turbine and its generator, which allows 

converting the existing Taltal open cycle plant into a gas-

fired combined-cycle plant.

The environmental permit requested through the Environ-

mental  Impact  Declaration  submitted  to  the  authority  in 

December 2013 was approved in January 2017.

Any decision related to the construction of this project will 

depend, among other things, on the commercial opportuni-

ties envisioned for the following years, such as, the prices 

of future tenders to supply the electricity required by the 

regulated market and/or existing or new nonregulated cus-

tomers.

Ttanti Combined 
Cycle Project

The  Ttanti  project  is  to  be  developed  in  the  Antofagasta 

Region,  on  land  adjacent  to  the  existing  Atacama  power 

plant that is located in the industrial zone of the city of Me-

jillones.  The project involves the construction of a natural 

gas combined-cycle power plant with an installed capacity 

of 1,290 MW (three units with 430 MW each).

On  December  28,  2017,  the  Environmental  Evaluation 

Commission  of  the  Antofagasta  Region  voted  in  favor  of 

the power plant’s environmental approval. 

Any  decision  related  to  the  construction  of  the  project 

will  depend,  among  others,  on  the  commercial  opportu-

nities  foreseen  in  the  upcoming  years,  e.g.,  prices  in  fu-

14 MW of installed capacity and 7 MWh of energy storage 

capacity,  connected  to  the  11.5  kV  bar  of  the  existing  23 

MW capacity turbine installed in the power plant.

In December 2017, the SEA of the Tarapacá Region issued 

a resolution waiving the obligation to submit the project to 

environmental assessment before its construction.  Despite 

this fact, any decision related to the construction of the project 

will depend, among others, on the commercial opportunities 

foreseen  in  the  upcoming  years  and,  particularly,  on  the 

evolution of the regulatory framework for the provision and 

remuneration of the ancillary services.

Management Highlights

Environmental protection is a major pillar in Enel´s strategy. 

Hence,  they  have  directed  their  efforts  towards  constant 

improvement by searching for potential efficiencies in their 

processes and products, incorporating cutting-edge tech-

nology. Their purpose is not just to comply with norms and 

reduce environmental externalities, but also to take care of 

their environment.  

Implementation of 
the Integrated Model 
for Environmental 
Measurements (MIMA) 

Enel's policy and internal process implementation does not

just focus on reducing environmental risks; they also seek 

being  jointly  developed  by  diverse  areas  of  the  company, 

to  consolidate  the  company’s  leadership  position  in  the 

prioritizing the most relevant environmental commitments. 

This  is  an  internal  mechanism  that  ensures  compliance  of 

energy  market.  Human  resource  and  environmental  pro-

tection,  the  struggle  against  climate  change  and  sustain-

able economic growth are all strategic factors considered 

during the planification, implementation and development 

of Enel Chile’s activities.

In terms of complying with the demands established by the 

Green Taxes

In  April  2018,  the  thermoelectric  power  plants  reported 

their  emissions  according  to  the  emissions  quantification 

method presented and authorized by the SMA to determine 

green  tax  payments.  A  total  tax  of  Ch$  16,437,440,924 

was  paid,  which  considers  the  atmospheric  emissions 

from  the  Enel  Generación  Chile  thermal  park  and  its 

D.S. 13/11 Thermoelectric Power Plant Emissions Standard, 

GasAtacama S.A. subsidiary. 

during  2018,  Enel  Generación  Chile's  thermal  park  and  its 

GasAtacama  subsidiary  carried  out  several  improvements 

to  the  Continuous  Emissions  Monitoring  System  (CEMS), 

such  as  changing  the  data  acquisition  systems  (DAHS)  of 

the thermal plants and the installation of CEMS to monitor 

thermal energy flow, installing flow CEMS in the Taltal, San 

Isidro and Quintero thermoelectric power plants. 

During  2018,  the  Environmental  Superintendence  (SMA) 

published  the  verification  reports  of  compliance  with  the 

established  limits  according  to  the  decree,  based  on  the 

emissions figures in the quarterly reports that each power 

plant uploaded to the "Thermoelectric Power Plant" website 

of such Superintendence. The SMA verified that the emis-

sions from all the company's electric generation units (UGE) 

complied with the established limit.

ment Committee, through the Exempt Resolution N° 016.

On May 25, 2018, the Environmental Assessment Service 

(SEA)  of  the  Antofagasta  Region  issued  Exempt  Resolu-

Environment and Sustainability 
Sustainability 

Sustainable 
business model 

Enel Chile´s sustainable business model seeks to focus the 

business itself on sustainability.

The  Company  has  played  a  leading  role  in  the  country´s 

energy  transition  by  having  more  than  1  GW  of  non-con-

ventional renewable installed capacity; by promoting elec-

tric  mobility;  bringing  in  100  electric  buses  through  a  pri-

vate-public partnership; by promoting electric heating; and 

by installing almost 300,000 intelligent meters for custom-

ers to manage their consumption. 

This is how Enel Chile intends to have an active role in the 

sustainable development of Chile. The 2018 sustainability 

plan focuses on 4 strategic guidelines:

• 

Innovation and asset optimization

• 

Growth in low carbon products and services

• 

Inclusion of local communities

• 

Inclusion of the people we work with  

In  2018,  the  milestones  of  each  one  of  these  guidelines 

involve  the  investment  in  digitalization,  adding  flexibility 

to  the  Company´s  generation  mix,  prioritizing  renewables 

and  also  installing  the  second  dome  on  the  coal  field  of 

the Bocamina thermal plant, which today is recognized as 

a  power  plant  with  high  environmental  standards  in  the 

region.

Regarding growth in low carbon services and technology, 

the leadership position of Enel Green Power as the number 

1 renewable operator with 1 GW installed capacity is worth 

highlighting. Enel X invests in decontaminating cities, play-

ing  a  leadership  role  in  electric  mobility  by  providing  100 

buses  for  Santiago,  and  replacing  more  than  2,500  tradi-

tional heaters with electric ones.

With  respect  to  the  work  with  local  communities,  Enel 

Chile  has  employees  dedicated  to  community  relations, 

maintaining  a  fluent  dialog  with  more  than  100  commu-

nities,  and  building  and  managing  long-term  agreements 

with each one of them.

In  terms  of  the  last  strategic  guideline,  our  accomplish-

ments are achieved with the daily effort of individuals that 

are  considered  the  focal  point  of  our  strategy.    We  build 

challenging routes with these individuals to move towards 

inclusion and destroying physical and cultural barriers to di-

versity. Facilitating the conciliation of work and family life 

is also part of this goal.  In 2018, 16% of Enel Chile collab-

orators have become part of the Smart Working and Work 

Flexibility program. 

The 2018 and the 2019 plan are based on prioritizing health 

and  occupational  safety,  solid  corporate  governance,  en-

vironmental sustainability, a sustainable supply chain, and 

the long-term creation of economic value for the sustain-

able development of our business.

employees in Chile.

Within this framework, the company performed a Human 

Rights diagnosis (Due Diligence) in Chile to identify situa-

tions at risk and prevent them.  The results of the diagnosis 

were  disclosed  to  the  stakeholders.  This  process  contin-

ues to be constantly monitored and specific plans are im-

plemented to minimize related risks.

In  2018,  the  company  implemented  significant  improve-

ments to mitigate the risks detected through due diligences 

performed  in  the  territories  in  which  it  has  electricity  as-

sets. 

3. Decent job and 
economic growth (ODS 8): 

Promote sustainable, inclusive job opportunities and eco-

nomic  growth  for  500,000  people.  Enel  Chile  expects  to 

add  150,000  people  to  the  beneficiaries  existing  in  2016 

by  2020.  During  2018,  nearly  30,700  have  had  access  to 

local  economic  development  by  forming  small  and  medi-

um sized companies or participating in training programs. 

Enel Chile has contributed with approximately 12% of the 

Group´s  goal  in  2018-2020  plan  regarding  this  objective, 

reaching  a  total  361,500  beneficiaries  during  the  2015-

2018 period.

4. Action for the climate 
(ODS 13): 

Adopt initiatives to fight climate change in order to be car-

bon  neutral  by  2050.  The  goal  is  to  reduce  CO2  (g/kWh) 
emissions.  Enel Green Power Chile has made significant 

investments in this area and is getting closer to accomplish 

its objective.

Letter from the Chairman Consolidated Significant 
Events 

In accordance with Articles 9 and 10, section 2, of the Se-

mon shares with voting rights, and that as a result of 

curities Market Law 18,045 and as established under Gen-

the exercise of such withdrawal rights, as of the date 

eral  Norm  N°  30  of  such  Superintendence,  the  following 

of  expiration  of  the  dissenting  shareholders’  with-

significant events were informed:

Enel Chile S.A.

•  On January 22, 2018, it was informed as a significant 

event that Enel Chile  S.A. (hereafter “Enel Chile” or 

the “Company”) on January 19, 2018, the legal peri-

od for dissenting shareholders to exercise their with-

drawal  rights  arising  from  the  merger  agreement  of 

Enel Green Power Latin America S.A. into the Com-

pany  (the  “Merger”)  approved  at  the  Extraordinary 

Shareholders’  Meeting  held  on  December  20,  2017 

(the “Meeting”) has expired.

During  such  period  and  based  on  the  information 

available as of this date, the shareholders that all to-

gether  represent  a  total  of  1,024,251,979  common 

shares  of  the  Company,  or  2.09%  exercised  their 

withdrawal rights. According to the relevant legal pro-

visions and regulations and particularly Official Letter 

No  32,435  issued  by  the  Financial  Markey  Commis-

sion (former Superintendence of Securities and Insur-

ance) dated November 7, 2017, the price of the shares 

of  the  shareholders  that  exercised  their  withdrawal 

rights will be paid by the Company as of the date the 

Merger is effective pursuant to the terms and condi-

tions agreed upon by the Meeting. The Company will 

opportunely inform on the aforementioned through a 

significant event.    

Consequently, one of the conditions precedent to the 

Merger  has  been  satisfied,  i.e.,  that  the  Enel  Chile 

shareholders that exercise their withdrawal rights do 

not represent more than 5% of the Company’s com-

mum shareholding concentration limit established by 

the  Enel  Chile  bylaws.  This  percentage  is  to  be  cal-

culated  considering  the  number  of  shares  in  which 

will be divided the new equity of Enel Chile, to be ap-

proved as part of the Merger and the capital increase 

that is required to have sufficient shares to deliver to 

Enel  Generación  shareholders  within  the  context  of 

the Enel Generación Tender Offer.

•  On February 8, 2018, it was informed as a significant 

event that, with regard to the Reorganization process 

approved  by  the  extraordinary  shareholders’  agree-

ment held on December 20, 2017 (the “Meeting”):

1. 

The  Company  will  commence  the  preemptive 

rights subscription period, both in Chile and in the 

United States of America, of the 10,000,000,000 

new common shares issuance financed with the 

Ch$8 20,000,000,000 capital increase approved 

by  the  Meeting  on  February  15,  2018.  The  no-

tice of the preemptive rights to subscribe these 

shares, which sets the beginning of the preemp-

tive  rights  subscription  period  will  be  published 

in  the  El  Mercurio  de  Santiago  newspaper  on 

the  previously  mentioned  date.    Pursuant  to 

the  ESM’s  agreement  and  the  terms  and  con-

ditions  of  the  Reorganization,  the  shares  that 

remain available once the preemptive rights sub-

scription  period  has  ended  will  be  allocated  to 

the  shareholders  of  Enel  Generación  Chile  S.A. 

(“Enel  Generación”)  that  tender  their  shares  in 

the  Enel  Generación  Offer  of  Shares  (the  “Enel 

Generación TO”), if it is declared successful, as 

required by its terms and conditions.
