LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
Joining a New World
The past few years have been immensely challenging for Grupo Saesa. New social, regulatory and technological demands have led us to redouble our efforts to provide a better and more stable service to our customers. Although there is still some way to go, we can say with satisfaction that we are consistently moving forward.
2017. New and very stringent parameters were set for the supply, products and services that we provide to our customers. This challenge is in line with our ongoing commitment to permanent improvement and we will succeed in this undertaking through substantial investments, leading-edge technology and infrastructure, and the support of our growing staff.
Last year brought major challenges for Chile’s electricity sector. The new technical standard that regulates electric power distribution and is aimed to upgrade quality of service to worldclass standards was published in December
We are committed to the development of Chile’s electricity sector and we are increasingly aware that sustainability plays a key role in that endeavor. In an ever-changing world, we understand that we have a duty to pioneer the
10
new technologies that will allow us not only to improve the quality of life of all people, but also care for our environment. Clean energy sources, energy efficiency solutions and electro-mobility, among other initiatives, will allow us to join this crusade we all need to be part of. For example, our involvement in the photovoltaic electrification projects advanced by the authority to supply clean and efficient electric power to remote areas in our country is a source of great pride for us. Not only do these projects rely on renewable energy sources, but they dramatically improve the quality of life of many communities along the country. In the same vein, the electric heating projects we will be launching shortly are driven by regulatory changes in an effort to clean up the large cities in the south of Chile.
Improvements and Projects Honoring our commitment to better serve our more than 860,000 customers, in 2018 we commissioned three new substations and over 1,500 km of lines, which allowed us to strengthen our power grids and reach new townships and customers. One project warranting special mention is Kimal Substation. Located in the middle of the Atacama desert, this substation has successfully reduced the congestion on the transmission grid in the north of the country and comprehensively improved the electrical stability of that grid. This major work in the national transmission grid required an investment of USD 27 million. In addition, the Ministry of Energy ordered that this project be expanded by investing a further USD 14 million. Commissioning of this expansion is scheduled for the second quarter of 2019.
11
Financial Performance Grupo Saesa’s Ebitda totaled CLP 108 billion, up by 9.1% compared to the preceding year, reflecting the company’s increased efficiency. Added to the aforementioned are the revenues from commissioning of new projects, the total investment of which amounted to CLP 121.7 billion, up 14% from 2017, which evidences the confidence and commitment of our shareholders for supporting sustainable development in our sector.
An Ongoing Commitment At Grupo Saesa we are well aware of our responsibility towards our community, its quality of life and opportunities. Accordingly, we are continuously developing social responsibility programs –many of which our personnel feels as their own due to the many years they have been implemented– that we believe are equally or more important than our corporate business. In so doing, we contribute to the development of our company from our region, the geography and climate of which impose increasingly greater challenges on its people. Among the examples of this commitment are programs like “Somos Vecinos”, “A la Escuela con Energía”, “Conexión de Sedes Sociales” or “Liceos Eléctricos,” which consider contributions
12
to education, the creation of working groups, the development of tools to enhance access to employment, ensure friendly relations with the community, and provide energy solutions, to name a few.
Our Employees Our employees are not only our main asset but the main pillar of our company. Consequently, their safety and wellbeing are the lens through which we view our day-to-day activities. Safety is non-negotiable and there would be no growth if safety were not a priority. We are working on and we will continue to develop tools, training programs, campaigns and oversight instruments that will allow us to remain a benchmark for the national industry and keep reducing accident rates among our employees and contractor staff. We aspire to be a place where our employees want to stay and grow. Values like innovation, cooperation, readiness and flexibility are now part of our everyday language. We do understand that there are new and more efficient ways to work that will enable us to make of our work a rewarding experience that is compatible with our personal life. This concern has allowed us to climb to place No. 4 in the Great Place to Work ranking that measures the best companies to
work in Chile.
Acknowledgements
We strive to be a company that does things well and in an ethical manner. This is why, over the past years we have complemented our existing integrity policies and standards with a crime prevention model and compliance program aimed to ensure that our employees’ behaviors will reflect our principles and values.
Over recent years we have achieved significant growth, which has allowed us to position Grupo Saesa as a leader in the electricity sector in Chile. This has been made possible by the great efforts of each and every one of our employees, shareholders and directors and the support of a culture of cooperation, values and principles to the benefit of our people, community and the development of the electricity sector in Chile.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company is managed by the Board of Directors, which is vested with the broadest powers conferred by Law 18,046 on Corporations and its regulations to act in the name and on behalf of the company. The Board of Directors holds regular monthly meetings during which it oversees the matters of interest to the Company that fall within its field of competence and receives the CEO’s report on the management and operations of the Company. The Board of Directors might also need to meet occasionally to conduct special business. In any case, Directors have the right to be informed at any time of all matters corporate. The remuneration of Directors is set by the Regular Shareholders’ Meeting on a yearly basis. Shareholders meet on occasion of Regular and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings. Regular Shareholders’ Meetings are held once a year, within the first four months, to discuss and decide on matters within its field of competence. Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings may be held at any time, when required by company needs, to decide on any matter which according to the law or the company’s bylaws are within the field of competence of the Shareholders’ Meetings. The Company has a Manual on Acquisition or Transfer of Shares and Management and Disclosure of Information of Interest to the Securities Market, the latest version of which was approved by the Board of Directors on January 28, 2010. The manual is available on the Company’s Website.
CRIME PREVENTION MODEL AND COMPLIANCE PROGRAM Grupo Saesa abides by values and commitments that aim to promote a corporate culture in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations and strives to ensure that all its companies and employees shall conduct themselves ethically, transparently, honestly, and with integrity. This mentality has translated into a series of instruments, company policies and training courses, including the adoption and implementation of a Crime Prevention Model and a Compliance Program:
CRIME PREVENTION MODEL In 2011, Grupo Saesa adopted and implemented a Crime Prevention Model across its companies. This model was developed in accordance with the guidelines under Law 20,393 on the criminal liability of legal persons for the crimes of money laundering, terrorist financing and bribery. Initially, this Model aimed to prevent the crimes of money laundering, financing of terrorism, and bribery of local and/or foreign public officials. Subsequently, Law No. 20,931 known as “Short Agenda against Crime” was enacted in 2016. This new
23
law added receiving to the crimes prescribed in Law 20,393, which led to the need of updating the Model for the first time.
covered include the concepts established in the Standards of Integrity and those contained in Law 20,393.
On November 20, 2018 the Official Gazette published Law 21,121, which increases the penalties for crimes of corruption and substantially amends the Statute relating to criminal liability of legal entities contained in Law 20,393 by adding four new crimes: disloyal administration, corruption between private individuals, incompatible negotiation and misappropriation.
In an effort to ensure full compliance with all legal requirements and to guarantee its efficiency, the Crime Prevention Model has been certified every year since 2014.
This last amendment entailed a long and strenuous process of updating the Crime Prevention Model and related policies, including the preparation of risk matrices for the new crimes introduced into the catalog of crimes, with a view to ensuring Grupo Saesa’s successful adaptation to the country’s current social and legal scenario while retaining its integrity standards. The Model is led by the Head of Crime Prevention, who was specifically appointed by the Board of Directors of the companies that make up Grupo Saesa. The Head is an autonomous position from management; it has its own financial and material resources that are sufficient for carrying out its duties; and reports, at least twice yearly, to the Board on the current state of the Crime Prevention Model. Since the implementation of the Model, the company has trained its own staff as well as its contractors’ through in-person and e-learning sessions. The topics
24
In addition, in 2017 the Crime Prevention Model was brought under the company’s Compliance Program, which has introduced a number of internal rules and procedures to strengthen it. As a result, today Grupo Saesa has a solid and robust Crime Prevention Model in full compliance with each and every legal requirement, thus ensuring the adoption of the right measures to prevent unlawful behavior within the company and to maintain integrity as one of the pillars of our activities.
COMPLIANCE In 2017, Grupo Saesa introduced its Compliance Program, which consists of organizational management policies, procedures, actions and initiatives aimed at setting up good practices for full compliance with the current legislation while adhering to the principles of ethics and integrity, thus reducing the risk of actions that may result in cases of
regulatory non-compliance. For Grupo Saesa, the term “compliance” is not limited to abiding by a set of rules and standards. It implies creating a culture of ethics and integrity that guides the behavior and decisions of all members of our organization, giving them a distinctive way of working towards the company’s strategic guidelines and objectives vis-à-vis its stakeholders. Along this line, Grupo Saesa modified its organizational chart and processes in order to place the focus of its actions on a common ethical framework defined according to certain basic principles, especially those included in its Standards of Integrity. Thus, the creation of the Compliance Department in 2017 under the criteria and guidelines of Senior Management laid the foundations of a management system that seeks to become a driver in the implementation of good practices whenever the situation calls for efficient risk management.
operation, forbidding any actions that may actually or potentially hinder, restrict or hamper free competition. Grupo Saesa categorically rejects all instances of unfair competition and any act, fact or convention that contravenes applicable laws or the internal regulation as set forth in the Manual of Compliance with Free Competition Defense Regulations published in 2017. The Compliance Program has been designed with a comprehensive approach that includes the identification, management, monitoring and reporting of risks as well as annual training and dissemination plans that seek to promote and reinforce compliance with the priorities established in the Compliance Policy. The program’s components attest to the company’s commitment to laying the foundations of a system of efficient management and continuous improvement that involves the entire organization in strengthening a culture of compliance, transparency, integrity and respect for the ethical standards embraced by the group.
The basic pillars of the Compliance Program are, on the one hand, internal leadership to promote values and good corporate governance, transparency and integrity, and, on the other, an approach based on risk analysis and management that helps to identify vulnerabilities and the actions needed to prevent and/ or correct them. In addition, the company’s guidelines and principles also include the respect of rules for proper market

OVERVIEW ACTIVITIES
MAY In the framework of international competitive bidding, Sociedad Austral de Transmisión Troncal S.A. was awarded the contract for the new Rio Toltén Substation on the national transmission grid consisting of construction of a sectioning substation for the Ciruelos-Cautín line in Freire, Araucanía Region.
AUGUST STC completed the construction of the
2x220 kV San Fabián-Ancoa transmission line that will convey the energy generated by Ñuble Hydropower Plant. The project consisted of building a 121 km-long, 220 kV double circuit transmission line, the 220 kV San Fabián Substation, and two 220 kV sections on Transelec's existing Ancoa Substation. Construction works took roughly 4 years.
OCTOBER
Grupo
Saesa's subsidiary SATT was awarded two zonal transmission projects as part of international competitive bidding: The Guardiamarina Substation project in Antofagasta (sectioning of 1x110 kV Mejillones-Antofagasta and 1x110 kV Esmeralda-La Portada lines) and the Valdivia-Picarte Transmission Line in Valdivia that will connect Picarte Substation to Valdivia Substation through a 66 kV transmission line.
NOVEMBER
SATT's new Kimal Substation in the Atacama desert started
operations in the National Electricity System (SEN grid). Execution of this project took 18 months and consisted of construction of the Kimal-Encuentro and Kimal-Crucero lines and a 220 kV bay. The project also considered four new diagonal lines that will connect the lines originating from sectioning of Laberinto-Crucero and Crucero-Chuquicamata-Salar lines and two additional diagonal lines to connect the 500 kV bay where the Changos-Kimal national interconnection line will connect to the grid. Also in November, substations Masisa and Mapal were acquired through subsidiary Sagesa S.A. in the Bío Bío Region and tolling agreements were executed for 20 and 10 years, respectively.

RISK FACTORS
The risk management strategy aims to protect the Company, its employees and its environment against situations that may impact them negatively. Risk management is orchestrated by the Company’s senior management and materializes both at a general level and at the individual level of each participating sector, considering the special characteristics of each one. To achieve the objectives, the financial risk management strategy seeks to hedge all significant exposures, provided there is an availability of suitable instruments and the cost is reasonable. The main risks the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to are addressed below (supplemented by Note 4. To Financial Statements “Risk Management Policy” and section V in the Company’s Risk Analysis):
REGULATORY RISK The electricity market is a regulated sector. Rate cases regulate the energy distribution, transmission and transformation tariffs, as well as generation of medium-voltage grids like those served by subsidiary Edelaysen. Through the aforementioned rate cases, the regulator sets tariffs based on product and operation quality standards as well as rights and obligations that are essential for provision of these services. The regulator seeks economic optimization of both operations and investments in each grid based on tariffs that ensure recovery of the initial investment and coverage of the costs necessary to operate in compliance with the regulations in force. The foregoing considers an efficiently-sized organization and facilities to provide rated services. The risk in this area is mostly associated to changes that the regulator may initiate regarding regulatory
matters and on occasion of each rate case, which could potentially affect the Company’s revenues. Accordingly, the main components of this risk are as follows:
A) CHANGE IN REGULATIONS The electricity sector is governed by regulations in effect since 1982 that are applicable to key industry aspects including tariffs, capacity of the companies to supply their customers, and quality of service, among others. To date, various amendments have been introduced to electric power regulations (See Note No. 3, item 3.4 Regulatory Framework of Financial Statements). In general, changes to the aforementioned regulatory framework may result in a risk for the Company and the power industry as those changes may affect operating aspects, the company’s margins and profits, and other key aspects. The Company is regularly monitoring potential regulatory changes so that It can implement the necessary mitigation actions on a timely basis. At present, company representatives sit in advisory committees and participate in public consultations on regulations that may potentially affect company businesses. In this sense, the main regulatory changes anticipated include: • Review, discussion and public consultation of potential changes to the General Law of Electric Services advanced by the Ministry of Energy. The regulator has already expressed its intention to introduce improvements in the recent Transmission Law, a new regulation for power distribution and
41
medium-voltage grids. • Drafting and public consultation on Law 20,936 regulations to be defined by the Ministry of Energy. • Drafting or review, discussion and public consultation of various regulatory bodies (medium-voltage grids, NetBilling, Small Means of Distributed Generation (PMGD), Technical Standard on Safety and Quality of Service (TSS&QoS), supplementary services (SSCC), among others) based on the annual plan to be determined by CNE.
B) SETTING OF GENERATION TARIFFS At present, a generation company can play various roles, either exclusively or simultaneously, regarding sales of the electricity produced by a power plant. On the one hand, it can act solely as a generator, that is to say, the company will sell all the energy produced by the power plant in the spot market; or as a generatortrader, in which capacity the company may execute supply agreements with customers not subject to tariff regulation, or it can also participate in electricity supply tenders for regulated customers called by the National Energy Commission. The energy sold in the spot market is priced at its hourly marginal cost in the bus bar where the energy is injected, which for these purposes is calculated by the Toll Division of the Coordinator based on the variable costs of the units that were dispatched in the system to economically and safely meet its hourly demand. Power is priced according to the prices calculated by the National Energy Commission during rate cases conducted every six months. On the other hand, if the generation company has also executed supply agreements, it must buy the energy necessary to fulfill its agreements with the trader in the marginal market. The trader, in turn, will supply the energy to its customers at the price set in the said bilateral supply agreements.
42
At present, subsidiary Sagesa S.A. is focused on selling the energy it produces to subsidiary SGA, which in turn sells it in the spot market in the Central Interconnected System Grid. In addition to the power purchased from Sagesa S.A., SGA sells energy purchased from other grid generation companies with which it holds purchase agreements. For medium-voltage grids, generation tariffs are set every four years based on the average efficient generation costs of the relevant zone and according to a mandatory expansion work plan. The tariffs set are made part of the total tariff charged to end customers. The new tariffs applicable to mediumvoltage grids from November 2014 onwards were published in 2015. Those tariffs will remain in effect until publication of the new ones that were determined in the rate case held in 2018, which in turn will be applicable between November 2018 and October 2022.
C) SETTING OF DISTRIBUTION TARIFFS Power distribution tariffs (or Distribution Added Value – DAV / Valor Agregado de Distribución – VAD) are set every four years. On August 24, 2017, the Ministry of Energy published a new Executive Order on tariff formulas (DS N°11T-2017) that would be in effect between November 2016 (retroactively) and October 2020. However, as a result of publication of the Technical Standard on Quality of Service for Distribution Grids in late 2017 higher standards were provided for the duration and frequency of power outages, commercial quality, and product and metering, monitoring and control system (SMMC) quality levels that will be required once their implementation cost is reflected in distribution tariffs, which will allow companies to finance the investments required to meet the new standards. Accordingly, the new tariffs (Executive Order (EO) 5T2018) consistent with the new standards that will be in effect until 2020 were published in late September 2018.
These tariffs are fixed and adjusted every year based on an economy of scale factor (recognizing the efficiencies occurring at every company as a consequence of increased sales) and an indexation formula that considers monthly variations of the local inflation rate (IPC), the inflation rate in the U.S. (CPI) and the exchange rate. As to the rate case for electric power supply related services (SSAA) carried out every 4 years as part of the DAV Setting Process, new tariffs were published in July 2018 under Executive Order 13T-2017. The risks related to regulation of the distribution business are monitored on a permanent basis so that any changes the regulator may introduce during each new tariff cycle are properly identified to safeguard the assets and business profitability of the Company and its subsidiaries. To that end, the Company may turn to any of the entities identified in the current regulation, that is, it can submit its observations to the CNE or its discrepancies to the Honorable Panel of Experts or the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic, as the case may be.
D) SETTING OF TRANSMISSION TARIFFS Pursuant to the current laws, the yearly tariff to be charged by the existing Transmission grids must be set every four years. Existing assets are assets whose investment value did not originate from competitive bidding or those that were awarded through a bidding process over 20 years ago. The coming rate case is underway and the tariffs so set will be in effect in 2020-2023. Law 20,805 enacted in 2015 extended the application of Executive Order No. 14 that set the zonal transmission tariffs for the period comprised between 2011 and 2014 until December 31, 2015. Subsequently, Law 20,936 further extended the validity of EO No. 14 until December 31, 2017.
In addition, the same law set forth a new regulatory framework for Zonal Transmission. The law laid down a new tariff structure for 2018-2019 that will allow the value of the existing facilities to be assessed. The calculation process started in late 2016 and the resulting tariff decree was published in October 2018 for the facilities commissioned until 2015. In the case of facilities commissioned in subsequent years, in late 2018 the CNE released a standardization criterion for their remuneration starting on their commissioning date. The same law sets forth a 4-year review period for an assessment of the value of regulated Dedicated, Zonal, and National Distribution applicable from 2020 onwards. Qualification of facilities started in late 2018 and is still underway. Once completed, the assessment process corresponding to 2020-2023 will be launched. The risks related to the regulation of the national and zonal transmission business are monitored on a permanent basis so that any changes the regulator may introduce during each new rate case are properly identified to safeguard the Company’s assets and the profitability of the business. To that end, the Company may turn to any of the entities identified in the current regulation, that is, the CNE, the Honorable Panel of Experts or the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic, as the case may be
RISK INHERENT TO POWER SUPPLY AGREEMENTS A) AGREEMENTS CUSTOMERS
TO
SUPPLY
REGULATED
Electric power distribution companies are required to operate based on energy supply agreements awarded by means of bidding processes to supply their regulated customers for at least the following five (5) years. At present, supply is the matter of agreements executed as a result of the latest electricity supply
43
bidding processes carried out jointly by distribution companies based on the Contract Documents published by CNE. It should be noted that the bankruptcy of a supplier does not jeopardize power and energy supply to regulated customers as a result of the legal changes introduced by Law 20,805 of 2015 that allow surplus energy to be transferred among distribution companies. After enactment of Law 20,085, every year during the first quarter CNE requests all distribution companies to submit their regulated customer demand projections. Based on such information as well as an adjusted projection by the Commission, the Regulator issues a Bidding Process Report on the overall requirements in terms of electricity supply. With that information, CNE launched bidding process 2017/01 (January 2024 – December 2043 supply), which was awarded in October 2017 for 100% of the tendered energy. The relevant supply agreements were executed in early 2018. In addition, CNE’s 2018 demand projection process showed that regulated consumption demand has declined as a result of significant customer migration to the unregulated power supply system, the energy efficiency projection, and growing connection to distributed generation. The latest results of the tenders for the supply of distribution companies have supported the development of new projects, including the development of renewable energy projects that will allow the future requirements of regulated customers to be met.
B) ENERGY SUPPLY The security of energy supply for the entire National Electrical System Grid (Sistema Eléctrico Nacional– SEN) during future years could be affected by prolonged outages at thermal power plants and/
44
or gas supply problems and/or drought or energy transmission constraints. Nevertheless, these risks are mitigated because: • Legislative changes fostered incentives to investments in electric power generation and transmission. • The regulator increased the available energy matrix through tenders for energy supply and transmission work. Still, the Company makes estimations for a deficit supply scenario in order to plan possible actions (agreements between distribution companies, reports to generation companies and authorizations from CNE) to transfer energy surpluses available at distribution companies or to include new requirements in forthcoming bidding processes.
FINANCIAL RISK Management of the financial risks of the Company and its subsidiaries is aimed to ensure that operating cash flows and financial liabilities are balanced. The Company and its subsidiaries’ cash flows, mostly generated by their interest in the electricity business, have a highly stable, long-term profile. Note 4. To Financial Statements “Risk Management Policy” specifies the financial risks inherent to financing, financial assets, return on investment time frames, and the cost and variability of funds, i.e., credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.
Through the new Technical Standard on Quality of Service, the Ministry of Energy established greater trade and technical demands on local distribution companies, including Smart Metering.
45
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE 2018 was a positive year for Grupo Saesa in terms of quality of service as indicators improved compared to 2017. Last year’s achievements include a decline in both the average outage duration by customer measured by SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index by Customer) and their frequency, measured by SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index). As to the former indicator, at the end of 2018 SAIDI was 26.9, which is 31.1% below the preceding year or 13 hours less of outages for all customers compared to 2017. Regarding SAIFI, Grupo Saesa’s distribution companies had an average value of 9.9 or 8.9% lower than last year.
SUSTAINABILITY Grupo Saesa strives to improve people’s quality of life and contribute to the country’s sustainable development by supplying reliable, secure energy. The group’s daily activities revolve around its strong commitment to its customers, the care and development of its associates and the modernization of the electricity sector in Chile, thus creating the long-term value our shareholders expect. Sustainability is pivotal to this challenge and therefore is at the core of the company’s guiding values. This means focusing our efforts towards a socially, environmentally and economically responsible corporate performance that pays special attention to the present and the future expectations of our stakeholders (investors, customers, contractors, associates, communities, suppliers, etc.). It is through our ordinary daily actions that we can improve our service and address the various impacts caused by the Group’s operations, constantly looking to contribute and add value to the development
46
of the regions where the company has a presence. And to achieve that, all these actions must be in full consonance with the strategic points defined in our Sustainability Policy: Dialogue, Awareness and Shared Value. • Dialogue: Exchange and conversation spaces constitute excellent vehicles to build relationships with our stakeholders. We want communication with them to be timely, useful and legitimate, having active listening and closeness as the pillars to create bonds based on mutual knowledge. • Awareness: We understand the impact of our activities and act with a deep sense of social and environmental responsibility. We want our operations and projects to materialize in a framework of care, respect and empathy towards the communities and territories where we operate. • Shared value: We build relationships that give us the chance to have a positive impact on our interest groups by undertaking collaborative and mutually beneficial work. We strive to create value and innovate in our processes to achieve real social progress, not just mitigate our immediate impact. But in order to move forward and underscore the importance of working towards sustainable development, we must first cement our commitment to each member of our organization. That is why we are permanently strengthening leadership among our associates to embrace this challenge, promoting in each one the willingness to take active part in our sustainability efforts, both present and future. Two Sustainability Committees have been created, which include members of the Executive Committee, Managers, Heads of Departments and Units, to implement programs, processes or projects that contribute to enhancing and consolidating this value through their objectives, targets, results and indicators. These committees are contained in the current Sustainability Plan, which, together with specific actions from the Strategic Plan, show the
path to follow in the medium term. During 2018, community-focused Sustainability Programs continued implementing activities to significantly contribute to the welfare of neighbors, children, youth, and the overall local development. We are neighbors Program: A space for dialogue and exchange with the community that has as its mission to address concerns, work cooperatively on issue resolution and provide useful information to different actors by organizing participatory meetings. Gathering with the community around a working table guarantees effective dialogue, promotes the involvement of local organizations and ensures prompt and proper response to their concerns. This will eventually produce sustainable bonds between the company and its neighbors. More than a community linkage program, Somos Vecinos offers an open, warm, transparent, practical, and educational approach to communication that seeks to humanize the company beyond our corporate logo or the monthly bill sent by mail. In 2018, meetings were held with neighborhood organizations as well as various social entities, including the Fire Department, Police Department, Detective Bureau (PDI), trade associations, chambers of commerce, municipal councils, sports clubs, educational institutions, etc. In addition, the program implemented Somos Vecinos Radio, an initiative that brings the topics discussed in the meetings and useful information to a larger audience. A total of 60 radio programs were broadcast in the seven zone departments, reaching communities in remote locations and resolving many of their concerns. A total of 463 meetings with over 6,000 participants were held in 2018, which represents a 116% increase from 2017. The program has enabled meetings and dialogue with the community, fostering progress and benefits to all participants and creating shared value.
Community Center Connection Program: A company that considers itself responsible and sustainable must develop community engagement programs so that its presence in a certain territory provides actual opportunities for the development and welfare of the adjacent communities through legitimate social investments that add real value. Along its 7 years providing electricity to more than 100 social organizations, the Community Center Connection Program has had a positive impact on more than 6,500 families that now have access to a well-lit place to conduct their productive, recreational and community activities, even in winter. Although seemingly trivial, this is especially relevant because the lack of electricity prevented them from holding meetings after dark. Grupo Saesa has therefore created value for its neighbors and they have opened the doors of their community centers to converse with and get to know the company better. In practice, the contribution consists of connecting the buildings to the power grid and providing protection and metering equipment, as well as all interior wiring and the TE1 certificate required by the SEC. In 2018, 28 new community centers were given electricity in 22 townships across the Company’s area of operation. To school with energy Campaign: A program that provides backpacks, school supplies and audiovisual equipment to schools in rural areas at the beginning of the school year, benefiting mostly schoolchildren from low-income families. The program also intends to support homeroom teachers in charge of all children from 1st to 7th grade. In 2018, 32 schools and approximately 1,500 students received the benefit, completing more than 300 facilities assisted since the beginning of the initiative in 2011. Another interesting activity developed under the program was the 3rd edition of the interschool energy efficiency competition. During 4
47
months, participating schools competed to reduce their electric consumption as much as possible, comparing it against the same period a year earlier. Between the months of July and October, schools received monthly performance reports, tips for saving electricity, and videos on energy efficiency to show to their students. Also, a number of lectures on this topic were conducted by the zone engagement team. In 2018, 5 winners were selected among the 30 entrants: The first place went to Escuela Rural Cristo Rey de Ralún, in Puerto Varas, with 46% energy savings. The other four winners were school de Purrehuín from San Juan de la Costa; Rural school la Península del Río Rollizo from Cochamó; Rural school Pumol from Futrono; and School Héroes de Chile from Yumbel. These schools were visited to assess their needs and conduct a technical evaluation of the buildings in order to determine the most appropriate prize. In most cases, the prize consisted of a new internal and external electric connection for the entire facility to replace the old, irregular one. Technical Schools with Electricity Specialization Program: This education-oriented program supports training on electricity for junior and senior-year students of technical high schools in Grupo Saesa’s area of operation. The program includes classes and hands-on training, distribution of personal protection equipment, and implementation of a training bay in the school, as well as visits to substations, capacitybuilding and job shadowing activities, and internships offered to advanced students. Eleven high schools from 11 different townships were chosen for this program in 2018, benefiting 416 students and 22 teachers. Saesa League Program: This initiative is one of the main pillars of Grupo Saesa’s community-oriented sustainability programs. More than 6,000 youth have participated in the Saesa League, which is considered
48
the leading basketball training tournament in the country, now in its 20th edition. Generation after generation of children and adolescents have had their lives changed by this sport, which has instilled in them positive values and habits such as responsibility, discipline, respect and teamwork. Participants develop great competitive skills and many of them become professional basketball players or members of the national team in lower categories. Besides, they are given the possibility of gaining admission to university via athletic scholarships. This year, 18 clubs representing 15 townships in 3 regions took part in the 6 months of uninterrupted playing every weekend (a total of 560 matches), convening approximately 1,450 players including children, youth and adults. Saesa League provides an opportunity for athletic development and personal growth that not only impacts the life of the athletes involved, but also their families and the community who receive the benefits of healthy coexistence and the creation of approximately 450 jobs.
ENVIRONMENT Grupo Saesa has actively advanced and developed renewable energy projects. Accordingly, in 2018, the generation capacity from renewable sources reached 681 kW, through 11 solar and wind generation projects. Five new projects are scheduled for implementation in 2019, pushing generation capacity further to 925 kW. For years, the Group has promoted the value of sustainability within its organizational culture,
incorporating a number of initiatives aiming at building relationships and generating positive impacts on the community through collaborative work. For example, since 2014 the company has organized activities to educate on the proper and safe use of highly toxic waste like alkaline household batteries. The “RecoPila” battery stewardship project was created to ensure proper management and disposal of exhausted batteries by means of hazardous waste collection campaigns organized in conjunction with the Regional Environmental Offices of La Araucanía, Los Ríos and Aysén and several municipalities from the Bío Bío to the Los Lagos regions. The idea is to encourage the participation of children, promote respect for the environment and mitigate our footprint. During 2018, 16.6 tons of used batteries were collected from school facilities and numerous collection points installed at Saesa’s bill payment centers, city halls and municipal libraries, raising the battery management and disposal rate by 37% compared to 2017. It is important to mention that the collection and proper management cycle would not be complete if the batteries were not disposed of safely in authorized locations. In this sense, Hidronor Chile S.A. has become an active partner in providing safe, sustainable and efficient solutions for the waste disposal needs of Grupo Saesa. They have the best waste management practices and technologies in Chile. The spent batteries collected during the annual campaigns are sent to Hidronor’s plant for inertization, a process whereby toxic materials are confined in watertight containers to prevent seepage into the soil and/or groundwater. In 2018, Edelaysen and Corporación Patagonia Viva teamed up to launch the first-ever battery collection campaign in the Aysén Region through which 68 tons of used batteries were disposed of. On a different environmental note, and as a consequence of the civil works executed to strengthen electric systems within the company’s concession zones and the tree-trimming and pruning activities along power lines, every year the company is obligated to submit Trimming Management and Reforestation Plans for the execution of civil works to the forestry agency Corporación Nacional Forestal (CONAF) in compliance with Law 20,283 on the recovery of the native forest and forest development. In this context, Grupo Saesa is fully aware of the impact of its operations and therefore has placed environmental conservation at the center of its priorities. The company is permanently verifying that its operations and projects adhere to the principles of care and respect for the environment, restoring the trees affected by the implementation of its projects. In 2018, 21 hectares of land were reforested with 32,867 native trees.
OUR STAFF, OUR GREATEST ASSET Grupo Saesa has embarked on a new journey filled with challenges in which our staff plays an essential role for the way things are done has changed. Accordingly, new behaviors have been added to the 7 values on which our corporate culture is supported. These new additions will allow the company to join the era of Disruption: Innovation, Flexibility, Readiness, and Cooperation. We are trainers Program • As part of its professional development agenda, Grupo Saesa’s Corporate Training Plan delivered 173,380 hours of training to over 2,800 employees and contractor staff in 2018. • In turn, the Crece (Grow) Program offered over 64,000 hours of professional training to 88 participants. • 56 youngsters graduated from the Linemen Training Program. There are now 139 participants from 9 training programs that have successfully completed the training. • In accordance to the newly introduced requirements, the first Smart Metering training program was carried out and successfully completed by 22 participants who will undertake this major technological challenge. • For a second year in a row, the Supplier Development Program (PDP) aimed to improve business and quality management standards was successfully carried out in 2018. Eight contractor firms –5 from Temuco and 3 from Concepción, respectively– participated in this training. The average number of participants per session was 26 people. • Already in its third year, the Performance Evaluation and Reward System (SEDR) has introduced a new way to do things, evaluate and offer feedback that has enabled supervisors and a second evaluator to have a 360-degree view of employees. Work has continued uninterruptedly over these three years to develop a feedback culture that fosters excellence in management. • The new Inclusion Law that promotes hiring of employees with disabilities in public and private institutions entered into force in early 2018. In this light, the Company started working on a plan that views the new law as an opportunity to foster an inclusive culture. Consequently, large efforts are being made to make of Grupo Saesa a more diverse company that values talent and offers work opportunities by means of inclusive positions.

Safety is not negotiable. That is a belief that encourages Grupo Saesa to continue to carry out actions aimed to ensure the safety of its workers and that safety and the determination to take care of themselves are values that go beyond the workplace, so that the culture and habits of care is transferred to the workers’ very households. The foregoing is intimately linked to Grupo Saesa’s statements, where the safety of its employees is a core concern while performing their work but also during their spare time.

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION Grupo Saesa companies have a sustained commitment to contribute to the progress and wellbeing of the communities in which they operate. Rural Electrification Projects are a proof of it, as the company joins efforts in a 3-player partnership of the Government of Chile, the Society and the Beneficiaries to supply electricity to the most remote locations stretching from north to south along the country.
The distribution lines and in-house installation work for 52 Rural Electrification Projects in remote areas of 27 townships of the Bío Bío, La Araucanía, Los Ríos and Los Lagos regions were completed and 49 new projects were signed for 27 townships in the aforementioned regions, which are currently at the authorization and engineering stages. Completion and commissioning of these projects has allowed the company to meet the objective of supplying power to 1,865 households from rural areas. It should be noted that these projects involve 249 km of MV lines, 170 km of LV lines on individual poles, 43 km of LV lines on common poles, and 540 5-kVA to 15-kVA distribution transformers. In addition, Grupo Saesa was awarded the “Isla Huapi Household Solar System Construction” Project, an initiative that falls within the framework of the energy access and equality program advanced by the Ministry of Energy to supply electric power to all the families on that island through non-conventional renewable energy (ERNC) sources. 151 households will benefit from this project.
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT In 2018, Grupo Saesa’s business activity revolved primarily around strengthening the CustomerFocused Culture by giving this corporate value the same priority as safety. That course of action led to the creation of “Customer Mode / Safe Mode” concept that has allowed smooth integration of the company’s passion for its customers. This concept was complemented by a plan consisting of various initiatives along the lines of strategic planning that were disseminated throughout the company. Among the largest projects are: Management of information on power outages: A
53
mechanism that allows the company to keep its customer base fully abreast of power outages through direct communication. Artificial intelligence has been gradually incorporated to this project as well. This project is expected to continue to evolve along 2019 and is in line with other major initiatives like customer data capture. Experience Tree Model: This tool represents evolution of customer satisfaction and experience indicators. It consists of relating process indicators to perception indicators in an attempt to establish a causal relationship among results to act proactively. This endeavor is leading to the establishment of a customer-focused culture in the different levels of the organization in a highly participatory environment in which business and technical teams cooperate. Greater availability and promotion of remote channels: Including fostering of customer migration to the digital bill and use of the ‘Report an outage button on the website. Customer Segmentation: A new way to see business customers has been implemented through new functionalities at on-site outage response level. Displays were implemented in segment, subsegment, and customer sensitivity systems both at the “front” and in control centers to systematically manage outage response to most critical customers. Segmentbased changes have been introduced in customer relations in terms of information, billing and other processes. Another highlight is the implementation of unregulated tariffs for customers with a level of consumption above 500 kW and seasonal customers (like irrigation customers), which has been highly valued by the latter. Power-dependent users: Understanding the critical situation they face, a specific outage response service for power-dependent customers has been developed. In some critical cases, generators have been made available to households, which the latter have been very grateful for. In addition, the company worked
54
jointly the regulator to provide a clear definition of the ‘power dependence’ condition so as to prioritize the customers in greater need. As to initiatives in other areas of the company that have also been working in improving their relationship with customers, communication with customers through press releases on traditional and digital media like twitter has been enhanced and the dissemination of positive news has increased by 100% compared to 2017.
BUSINESS PROCESSES In terms of business processes, 2018 debuted with a number of digitalization efforts to encourage customers to sign up for the Digital Bill. A local printing activity was carried out in some Edelaysen districts as well. Among the improvements introduced are automation of supply interruption lists, and use of smartphones including a mobile app for field personnel that improved traceability of the disconnection and reconnection process as it allows our staff to work online and ensures that the customers who settle their past due bills will not face service interruption. Customer focus was also applied in this area through a new vision added to the bill distribution process. Enhanced technology was introduced through a more robust industrial smartphone and subsequently development of the supporting application, all of which will ensure traceability and recording of this activity.
MANAGEMENT OF OUR PROJECTS AND SERVICES 2018 was particularly successful in terms of project management, awarding, execution of work, and unregulated services in the field of energy as a result of sales of projects and materials to private customers and differentiative business ventures like adaptation of poles so that telecom companies can install their antennas on them. Centralized business management efforts continued through energy efficiency projects and new value propositions for customers, including electric AC and heating, and standardization of a photovoltaic kit for on-grid connection. Likewise, public lighting projects involving LED technology continued in 2018, particularly in townships like Purranque and Codegua, both outside our service area. In addition, connection works were carried out in inaccessible areas, like the photovoltaic project implemented in Ancapi Ñancucheo indigenous community in Ercilla, La Araucanía Region, and in the San Luis sector in Cochamó.
SMALL MEANS OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION (PMGD) In 2018, two new power plants (3.2 MW) were added to Grupo Saesa’s distribution grid, which now consists of 48 small means of distributed generation (PMGD) owned by third parties with combined installed power of 125.4 MW. Among the non-conventional generation means used are run-of-the-river power plants, cogeneration plants, and wind farms. Also in 2018, two power plants were connected to the company’s grid: 0.2 MW El Brinco Hydropower Plant located in Mulchén and 3.0 MW Almendrado Power Plant located in Chonchi.
EL BRINCO This 0.2 MW run-of-the-river power plant was connected to the MV grid of the Picoltué Substation’s Mulchén outgoing feeder, located in the Quitralman Estate in Mulchén. El Brinco collects water from an irrigation canal fed by River Bío Bío and according to the new Technical Standard on Connection and Operation (NTCO) it has No Significant Impact (INS), which means that no additional work is required for connection to the grid. This project is owned by Hidro Munilque Spa and was commissioned on March 23, 2018. EL ALMENDRADO This 3.0 MW thermal power plant was connected to Chonchi Substation’s Notuco outgoing feeder on Chiloé Island. This plant is owned by IMELSA S.A. Unlike others, this plant is equipped for isolated operation, which means that it can provide backup for power consumption in the area in case of power outages in the grid. EL ARREBOL Efforts in this project focused on executing the necessary works in Lebu for connection of 9 MW El Arrebol Wind Farm, which involved an investment of nearly USD 1.94 million in La Fortuna’ feeder medium-voltage grid. This project located north of the Lebu Substation was scheduled for commissioning in January 2019. EL NOGAL Execution of the agreement for additional works on June 22, 2018 marked the start of works associated to Parque Eólico El Nogal Wind Farm located in Negrete, under which USD 330,000 will be invested in improving the MV grid of the area. Commissioning is scheduled for March 2019.
The projects developed this year are as follows:

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
DISTRIBUTABLE NET INCOME The company does not apply any adjustments to the item “Profit (loss), attributable to the parent company’s owners” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Consequently, the values of such item are taken as a base, minus accumulated loss, if any, and distributed dividends charged to the accounting period are deducted from such result. First IFRS adoption adjustments are not part of this calculation insofar as they remain unrealized.
This policy for calculation of the distributable net income is applicable since 2010, following adoption by the Board on October 7, 2010, and pursuant to instructions issued by the Financial Market Commission (former Securities and Insurance Supervisor) in Circular Letter No. 1,945 of September 29, 2009. Accordingly, the distributable net income of 2018 is as follows:

SECTION THREE
INDUSTRIAL ECONOMIC SECTOR ACTIVITIES AND BUSINESSES SUBSIDIARIES STATEMENT OF LIABILITY
INDUSTRIAL ECONOMIC SECTOR
THE LARGEST ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION COMPANY IN THE SOUTH OF CHILE.
REGULATION AND OPERATION CHILEAN ELECTRICITY SYSTEM
Grupo Saesa companies are mostly involved in distribution and transmission of electric power and, to a lesser extent, in power generation and trade. Consequently, the Company’s main asset are its distribution and transmission grids. Through subsidiaries Saesa, Frontel, Luz Osorno, and Edelaysen, Grupo Saesa is the largest electric power distribution company between the provinces of Concepción (Bío Bío Region) and Capitán Prat (Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Region).
Chile’s electricity sector consists of generation, transmission and distribution of electric power. These activities are carried out by private companies and the Government plays a regulatory, oversight, and subsidiary role. This structure implies that companies have decision-making capacity regarding investments, marketing of their services and operation of their facilities, which makes them responsible for the quality of service provided in each segment, as required by the sector regulatory framework.
With annual sales of 3,572 GWh and 867,000 customers in 2018, Grupo Saesa is the country’s third largest electric power distribution company, both in terms of sales and number of customers. The table below shows a breakdown of customers and sales by distribution company:
Through grids with an installed capacity equal to or higher than 200 MW, the various players of the electricity sector operate in concert and under the coordination of the National Electricity Coordinator (the Coordinator or CEN), which is responsible for:

• Guaranteeing open access to all transmission systems, in compliance with the Law. Chile’s two main power grids, which jointly account for over 99% of the country’s power generation, were interconnected in November 2017: Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande (“SING grid”) that supplies energy to the area between Arica and Antofagasta in the north of the country, and Sistema Interconectado Central (“SIC grid”), which covers from Tal-Tal to Chiloé. Together, they became the new Sistema Eléctrico Nacional (SEN grid).
The system also consists of various medium-voltage grids (SSMM grids), the installed generating capacity of which ranges between 1,500 kW and 200 MW, that supply regions like Los Lagos, Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo, and Magallanes y Antártica Chilena. These grids (like subsidiary Edelaysen) are usually operated by vertically-integrated companies, that is to say, they are responsible for generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power.
POWER GENERATION No concession or special authorization is required to engage in power generation in the SEN grid, but only for construction and operation of hydropower plants. The SEN grid consists of three main markets with different types of customers and tariffs: A) Wholesale Market: Segment in which generation companies engage in transactions among them, either through contracts or sales at marginal cost. B) Unregulated Power Market: Market segment corresponding to customers with an installed capacity in excess of 5 MW that freely negotiate tariffs with the generation company. Customers with installed power between 0.5 MW and 5 MW may opt to be treated as unregulated customers, which they negotiate for 4-year terms. C) Regulated Power Market: This segment corresponds to all energy transfers between generation and distribution companies aimed to supply power to customers subject to regulated power tariffs (hereinafter, “regulated customers”).
Thus, distribution companies become generation companies’ customers. The price at which energy is sold is set through open, transparent, and non-discriminatory tendering. Tariffs are usually set for a period of 20 years. It should be noted that electricity sales prices are set at national bar (national transmission) level. Subsequently, charges for use of zonal transmission grids are introduced as additional charges by the distribution company. Regardless of the end market established by a generation company, transfers between generation companies with surplus energy to those with energy deficit in the SEN grid are completed at the marginal hourly cost set by the grid. The entity responsible for such calculations is the Coordinator’s Toll Department. Medium-Voltage Grids differ greatly from one another; consequently, generation and transmission costs are set based on a tariff study conducted every four years. The Aysén, Palena, and General Carrera MediumVoltage Grids are operated by the same company, which manages both generation facilities and transmission and distribution installations (vertically integrated like subsidiary Edelaysen) and is responsible for ensuring that the grid operates as efficiently and safely as possible. The Cochamó MediumVoltage Grid is a special case in the sense that the generation and transmission assets are owned by one company (Sagesa), while distribution to end customers is managed by a different one (Saesa). The same is true for Hornopirén grid, where generation and transmission assets are owned by Cuchildeo and Sagesa, respectively, while distribution to end customers is managed by distribution company Saesa.
65
TRANSMISSION
Since enactment of Law 20,936 in 2016, transmission grids are classified into National, Zonal and Dedicated Transmission, all of them open access grids and the first two subject to tariff regulation. In dedicated transmission, charges for transport are regulated by private contracts executed by the relevant parties, while use of the grids to supply regulated customers is subject to regulated tariffs calculated by the regulator. The information used to set toll rates is publicly disclosed in all cases. Transmission companies charge tolls to generation companies and end users, which according to the Law will be gradually transferred to users in their entirety. Transmission tolls allow the owners of transmission facilities to recover and finance their investments in transmission assets and collect the costs associated to operation of such assets.
TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION GRID
66
TOLLS
NATIONAL
100% charged to end users based on anticipated withdrawal. Tolls are determined by the National Energy Commission (CNE) every 4 years based on efficient investment, operation, maintenance and administration costs of the existing facilities or the costs of bidding processes for new facilities.
ZONAL
Tolls set by CNE every 4 years based on efficient investment, operation, maintenance and administration costs of the existing facilities and charged to end customers in their entirety based on anticipated withdrawal.
DEDICATED
Tolls freely negotiated by the owner of the transmission facilities and its users. Tariff regulated according to use of the facilities to supply regulated customers.
DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant to the law, distribution is any electricity supply up to 23 kV. Distribution companies operate according to concessions under which territories are defined for each company, which in turn has the obligation to supply regulated customers under a maximum tariff structure combined with an efficient business model set by the regulator. Given access barriers to this activity as a result of strong economies of density, distribution companies operate as a natural regulated monopoly. Although the regulator may grant overlapping concessions, in practice, existence of several distribution companies in the same area is discouraged because the tariffs set by the regulator aim at an optimal technical-economic scenario, that is to say, they do not finance distribution facilities which the company deems redundant or unnecessary to meet the existing requirements. Regulated and unregulated customers (either a customer of the distribution company or not) are to pay a distribution added value– DAV (VAD as per the Spanish acronym) for use of the grid. A) REGULATED CUSTOMERS The tariffs charged by distribution companies to regulated customers consist of: • Average Node Price: This component reflects the average power and energy purchase price that is passed on to end customers through distribution companies. This price is set twice a year through an Average Node Price Decree issued in January and July and published in the Official Gazette. • Transmission Payment: Charged by national, zonal, and dedicated transmission companies to customers subject to regulated tariffs. • Utility Charge: Component that finances the budgets of the Coordinator, Panel of Experts, and utility strip study. • Distribution Added Value (DAV): Price component
consisting of the cost of capital of distribution assets and the administrative, maintenance and operating costs of the grids, billing and customer service costs, and average losses incurred during distribution. The aforementioned amounts correspond to those of an efficient business model. Additionally, during the distribution rate case, tariffs may consider some of the services associated to power supply that have been previously set as part of the distribution added value. The tariff charged by each distribution company is set by CNE according to a classification process of each company in typical distribution areas that takes into consideration economic criteria, such as population density, energy consumption per capita, and unit costs of distributed power. Various model companies are simulated, one in each typical distribution area, considering primarily construction and operational standards ensuring supply of an actual company’s demand based on characteristics of special distribution, category of customers, and other restrictions imposed by the concession area to the actual company called “company of reference.” The tariff is set based on a target internal return rate of 10% for each model company. To validate the tariffs so set, it should be ensured that the return of all the distribution companies in operation, taken as a whole, is within 4% of the theoretical 10% (between 6% and 14%). DAV comprises power (kW) and energy (kWh) charges, fixed charges and efficient loss level and is set every 4 years, same as its indexation formulas. B) UNREGULATED CUSTOMERS These customers (whether served by a distribution company or not) are required to pay a distribution toll for use of the distribution grids they are connected to, which corresponds to the DAV of each distribution company plus energy and power tariff losses. These tariffs are set every 4 years during every DAV rate case. C) OTHER SERVICES ASSOCIATED TO DISTRIBUTION In addition, distribution companies are paid for services associated (SSAA in Spanish) to electricity supply or provided in the capacity of utility concession holder, including meter rental, disconnection and reconnection, support to telecom companies, and late payment charges, among the core ones. Tariffs for these services are set every 4 years during every DAV rate case.

To conduct business, Grupo Saesa companies rely on electric power distribution concessions awarded through an Executive Order (EO) issued by the Ministry of Energy by order of the President of the Republic.
entitled to charge for the said supply, which are set every 4 years through a decree issued by the Ministry of Energy and set by means of formulas that that represent the cost of the resources used by users at generation – transmission, and distribution level.
Distribution concessions entitle the concession holder to develop, build, and operate overhead and underground electric power facilities within the concession area set by the relevant executive order and to supply electricity to the end customers situated in that area or to any customer outside the concession area that is connected to the concession holder’s facilities through its own or third-party lines. To lay their distribution grid within the concession area, distribution companies are entitled to use and go through national property for public use, as well as to occupy and use private property by means of voluntary or legal easements. In the latter, the owner of the relevant property is obligated to refrain from building or planting or using the land in any way that may interfere with the easement, provide access to the personnel of the concession holder to conduct maintenance, repair and other jobs in the distribution facilities located in the said property.
The concessions held by Grupo Saesa companies have been granted by the competent authority and are of indefinite duration.
On the other hand, the concession holder is obligated to supply electricity to any user located within the concession area that may so require, as set forth in the General Law of Electric Services and its Regulations. The concession holder is to provide a quality of service compliant with the regular standards laid down by the law, its regulations and the applicable technical standards, consistent with the tariffs the company is

MAIN SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS In 2018, suppliers Enel and Colbún accounted for 88% of distributed supply (purchase of energy and zonal transmission tolls).
The above translates into a significant improvement as only 26.7% of customers and 23.6% of feeders were below the standard in 2018.
In the case of the Company’s distribution companies, no customer concentrates on its own over 10% of the companies’ total revenues. In Sagesa and Edelaysen, mostly devoted to generation, Copec accounts for nearly 70% of diesel oil purchases. In STS, a company mostly devoted to transmission, 65% of its revenues are concentrated in Saesa, 8% in Enel Generación and 6% in CGE.
The regulator, in turn, continues to be rather strict in its review of the causes of the power outages presented as force majeure events, and the ones the regulator rejected were reclassified as internal causes. In spite of this, the regulator validated on average 90% of the outages that the Company reported had been caused by force majeure events.
In the case of trading companies SGA, SAESA, FRONTEL, and LUZ OSORNO, their revenues originate from some 130 unregulated customers, none of them with a share in total revenues over 10%. Finally, Enel Generación concentrates 80% of the energy purchases to the aforementioned companies.
The new technical standard applicable to electric power distribution systems was published in December 2017. This new standard is aimed to regulate quality of service in distribution by overseeing the following: • Quality of Supply: Rates the power supply provided by the company through SAIFI y SAIDI global indicators and TIC and FIC individual indicators.
QUALITY OF SERVICE
• Product quality: Quality of the electricity supplied by the company measured based on, among other factors, the magnitude, frequency and contamination of instantaneous supply voltage.
In 2018, Grupo Saesa showed improved quality of service compared to the preceding year. Specifically, the number of substandard feeders declined from 107 to 55.
• Commercial Quality: Rates the commercial and customer service provided by the distribution company.

Over the past 10 years, SAESA’s compound annual sales growth rate has increased by roughly 3.67%. One of the key drivers of such growth has been the significant development shown by the salmon industry and related sectors, particularly in the Llanquihue and Chiloé Provinces, forestry in the Valdivia Province, and the sustained growth of residential consumption all over its area of operation. At present, supply is the matter of contracts executed with Endesa, Colbún, Enel, Caren, ERNC, El Morado, Chungungo, SPV P4, San Juan, Pelumpen, Santiago Solar, Aela, Abengoa, Ibereolica, SCBII, and Amunche Solar. However, the companies awarded the contract under the last supply tender will join this group shortly. The National Energy Commission–CNE (Comisión Nacional de Energía) has advanced joint bidding processes intended to meet the regulated demand by the distribution companies supplied by the SEN grid. Accordingly, as part of one of such bidding processes, 91% of the tendered energy was awarded in December 2014, leaving only 9% yet to be tendered in future bidding processes. Given the enforcement of Law 20,085, supply bidding processes are managed by the CNE for the first time in 2015. During the first half of 2015, CNE requested all distribution companies to submit their regulated customer demand projections. Based on such information, as well as an adjusted projection by the Commission, CNE issued
