i.Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A.

Enel Generación Chile had a 51% interest in Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. (hereinafter “Hidroaysén”), whose corporate purpose was to develop, finance, own and exploit a hydroelectric project in Region XI Aysén, Chile.

On November 17, 2017, the Board of Directors of Hidroaysén agreed to cease the company’s activities and terminate the Hidroaysén’s electrical project. The decision was made because the forecasted value of the investment in generation and transmission for the electrical project, its related costs and the long-term market prospects indicated that the project was not economically feasible in every possible valuation scenario. Also, the significance amount of the investment and its related risks, both legal and administrative, would add a second uncertainty factor that definitively precluded continuing with the project.

On December 7, 2017, at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Hidroysén it was agreed to terminate the company and the liquidation process of the company’s assets. The liquidation process considers the distribution of assets to the shareholders and it is expected to be completed in the first half of 2018.
