Achieved strong operational and financial performance in 2Q26, with Fenix resuming normal operations after the TGP disruption.
Diversified fuel sourcing and a reliable thermal fleet ensured system reliability and cost efficiency.
Returned to a net surplus energy position, supported by ongoing storage projects.
Maintained a unique position in high-growth markets, with installed capacity and generation increasing year-over-year.
Hydrological conditions in Chile showed mixed trends, with some reservoirs above historical averages and others below.
Business profile and strategy
Operates 5,034 MW of installed capacity, with 57% renewable and 43% thermal sources.
Maintains a leading market share in Chile and Peru, with a strong presence in both regulated and unregulated markets.
Fuel strategy emphasizes margin maximization, risk mitigation, and operational flexibility.
Lower hydro generation was partially offset by increased wind and coal output.
Contractual positions are balanced across distribution zones, with a net positive energy balance as of June 2026.
Fuel supply and procurement
Diversified fuel portfolio includes LNG, Argentine natural gas, and coal, providing security and flexibility.
Most LNG volumes are contracted and priced in advance, limiting commodity exposure.
Coal procurement was optimized by renegotiating cargoes, reducing costs and aligning with market conditions.
Sufficient on-site inventory and flexible contracts support operational needs.
