ENEL ENTERS HYDROELECTRIC MARKET IN PANAMA
  Acquisition of a joint controlling stake in Fortuna SA for a consideration of 150 million US$(about 118 million euro)
  Fortuna has 300 MW of hydro capacity and generates approximately 30% of the country’s electricity
  Enel continues its expansion in renewables in Central and South America
Rome, August 3, 2006 – Enel has acquired 100% of Hydro Quebec International Latin America Ltd. (HQILA), through its Dutch subsidiary Enel Investment Holding, from Hydro Quebec International Inc. and Fonds de Solidarité des Travailleurs du Québec. The transaction allows Enel to own, indirectly, a 24.55% stake in EGE Fortuna S.A. (Fortuna), a Panamanian hydro generation company. This stake enables Enel to carry, jointly with its partner Globeleq (a private equity fund), the substantial control of Fortuna. In particular, Enel is in charge of the operational management of the power generation plant named Fortuna.
Enel Investment Holding paid a consideration of 150 million US$ (equal to about 118 million euro at current exchange rates) for the shareholding in HQILA.
Fortuna is one of the leading Panamanian electricity companies, operating in the province of Chiriquì with a 300 MW power plant. It generates a total of about 1,600 GWh a year, giving Fortuna an approximately 30% share of national power output.
In 2005 Fortuna posted revenues of 128.7 million US$, an EBITDA of 97.8 million US$ and an EBIT of 66.6 million US$.
Since 1997 the Panamanian electricity market has been liberalised, being currently characterized by the presence of major international operators and fast growing electricity demand.

 


Table of Contents

The Panamanian market is part of the larger Central American power market, which is experiencing extensive development characterised by economic and regulatory integration. Enel already operates in this area through its subsidiary Enel Latin America.
In addition this acquisition represents for Enel Latin America an excellent platform for developing further its hydro portfolio.
Enel continues to pursue its global strategy of developing renewable energy sources, also with a view to seizing new opportunities aimed at containing greenhouse gas emissions — especially in emerging countries — that the Kyoto protocol offers to integrated operators such as Enel. As part of this strategy, last June Enel Latin America signed a contract for the acquisition of 11 Brazilian companies from the Rede Group that hold concessions for 22 mini-hydro plants with a total installed capacity of 97.68 MW.
The Enel Group already operates in Central and South America in the generation of electricity from renewables in the following countries:
    In Costa Rica Enel Latin America operates two hydro plants (30 MW) and one wind facility (24 MW).
 
    In Nicaragua and El Salvador Enel Latin America is working in partnership with La Geo (which has about 100 MW of installed capacity) to develop geothermal resources, a field in which Enel is the world leader.
 
    In Guatemala Enel Latin America operates two hydro plants (63 MW), with a further two under construction (110 MW).
 
    In Chile Enel Latin America operates two hydro plants (87 MW) and is conducting explorations for the development of that country’s promising geothermal resources in partnership with Enap (Chile’s hydrocarbon agency).

Press Release
ENEL: 2006 STOCK OPTIONS ASSIGNED
Rome, August 4, 2006 – Today the 2006 stock option plan has been implemented in compliance with the resolutions of the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 26, 2006.
The 2006 plan is being implemented in compliance with the recent amendment to the tax regulations, passed after the approval of the plan by the aforesaid Shareholders’ Meeting. The tax regulations were further defined when the Law Decree n° 223 of July 4, 2006 turned into law and was then approved a few days ago by the Parliament.
The plan entailed the assignment of a total of 31,790,000 options to about 470 Group executives, including 1,500,000 options to the Chief Executive Officer of Enel (as General Manager).
The options can be exercised subject to the joint achievement of two long-term performance objectives aimed at bringing about a convergence between the interests of the shareholders and those of the management, since they are also linked to Enel stock performance compared with market parameters.
The illustration of the plan’s scheme, its goals and the terms for exercising the options are described in more details in the press release issued on April 12, 2006 (available at the URL http://www.enel.it/azienda_en/sala_stampa/comunicati/ss_comunicatiarticolo.asp?IdDoc=1463553) and in the Board of Directors’ Report drawn up in view of the aforesaid Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on last May 26, 2006 (available at the URL http://www.enel.it/azienda_en/chi_siamo/corporate_governance/assemblee_azionisti/assemblea_25_05_06/).
In accordance with the plan’s criteria, the strike price was calculated as the arithmetic average of the prices at which the ENEL share was traded on the Italian stock exchange in the timeframe between today, date on which the options are assigned, and the same day last month, in accordance with the tax regulations. The strike price is to be paid entirely by the participants in the plan, because the plan does not provide for any facilitations in this regard.
The plan does not envisage any time restraints on the possibility of transferring the shares that are assigned following the exercise of the options.

Press Release
ENEL S.P.A’S TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS COMPLETED
Rome, September 6, 2006 – In compliance with Consob Communication no. 6064313 of July 28, 2006, Enel S.p.A. announces that the external auditor KPMG S.p.A. has completed a full audit of the reconciliation statements for the Parent Company envisaged under IFRS 1 (First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards).
The text of KPMG S.p.A.’s report on the document “Transizione di Enel S.p.A. ai principi contabili internazionali (IFRS)” (“Enel S.p.A.’s transition to international accounting standards (IFRS)”) can be found, together with the document itself, on Enel’s website (www.enel.it) and that of Borsa Italiana (www.borsaitaliana.it).
The Parent Company, Enel S.p.A., has adopted international accounting standards (IFRS) as from 2006, with an IFRS transition date of January 1, 2005. It has therefore prepared the balance sheet at January 1 and December 31, 2005 on the basis of the provisions of IFRS 1. Compared with the accounts of Enel S.p.A. at December 31, 2005 prepared in accordance with Italian GAAP, the following main differences emerged:
  an increase of 202 million in the value of investments in associated companies as a result of their measurement at fair value;
  the recognition of financial liabilities of 125 million in respect of derivatives used to hedge interest rate and exchange rate risks measured at fair value;
  an increase of 43 million in the liability for staff termination benefits and other employee benefits calculated on an actuarial basis;
  an increase of 38 million in liabilities, mainly attributable to the fair value measurement of Terna bonus shares, which were distributed in January 2006;
  the recognition of 62 million in respect of the positive tax effects on impairment adjustments.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
In the first six months of 2006 electricity demand in Italy rose by 2.1%, from 163.4 TWh (terawatt-hours, or billions of kilowatt-hours) to 166.8 TWh (statistics from Terna as of July 2006). 87.7% of demand was covered by domestic production while the remaining 12.3% came from net imports which decreased from 26.7 TWh to 20.6 TWh. The decline in imports was attributable to the increase in demand at the European level, which led to an increase in prices on the principal foreign markets. Gas consumption rose by 1.6%, from 44.7 billion cubic metres to 45.4 billion cubic metres. The strong increase in volumes used by thermal electric generation more than offset a 2.1% decline in sales to end users.
In this context, Enel, despite seeing total sales decline from 73.9 TWh to 71.1 TWh (-3.8%), experienced significantly increased electricity sales on the free market, which rose by 10%, from 9 TWh to 9.9 TWh.
In the gas market, Enel continued its strategic focus on offers for small and medium-sized enterprises, increasing the customer base by 10%, despite a decline in volumes sold.
In power generation, Enel’s power stations generated 53.1 TWh in the period (55.5 TWh in the first half of 2005) with a flexible and balanced fuel mix: generation from renewables, rising from 28% to 29.1% of the total, while that from coal increased from 25.3% to 25.7%. The decrease in electricity generated in gas combined-cycle plants (16.7%, compared with 20.3% in the same period last year) is attributable to gas shortages at the start of 2006, which required increased use of fuel oil. Enel’s market share (net generation plus imports) was equal to 34.8% in the first half of 2006, compared with 38% in the first half of 2005.
The volume of electricity distributed by Enel in Italy rose by 1.7%, from 124.2 TWh to 126.3 TWh, broadly in line with growth in demand. The volume of gas distributed decreased by 1.7%, reflecting the decline in sales to final users.
Enel’s international operations expanded on all fronts as a result of organic growth and the contribution of the Romanian electricity distribution companies and Slovenske Elektrarne. Enel’s foreign electricity sales rose from 3.3 TWh to 4.9 TWh (+48.5%) and electricity distributed increased from 3.8 TWh to 6.2 TWh (+63.2%). Generation capacity increased from 3,786 MW (megawatts or thousands of kilowatt) to 9,996 MW (+164%). Enel’s generation mix was expanded with the return of nuclear power to the portfolio, which, due to the Slovakian power stations (2,400 MW), now accounts for approximately 26% of all of the power produced by the Group internationally (a total of 9.8 TWh in the first half of 2006, compared with 7 TWh in the same period last year).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Revenues totalled 19,065 million in the first half of 2006, representing an increase of 18% on the 16,152 million in the first half of 2005. The rise is attributable in part to increased revenues from international operations and in part to greater electricity revenues in the domestic market, which essentially covered the higher generation costs driven by the rise in fuel prices.
EBITDA totalled 4,361 million in the period, up 159 million or 3.8% on the 4,202 million in the year-earlier period, due to the growth recorded by the International Division and the good performance of Domestic Sales and Domestic Infrastructure and Networks Divisions, as well as the improvement in the margin achieved by the Parent Company. The Domestic Generation and Energy Management Division saw EBITDA decline due to a smaller contribution from non-recurring items and the impact of the recognition at fair value of contracts for difference with the Single Buyer, that were only partially offset by the improvement of the generation margin.
EBIT came to 3,565 million in the first half of the year, up 479 million (+15.5%) compared with the 3,086 million recorded in the first six months of 2005.
Group net income totalled 1,978 million, a 3.3% increase compared to the 1,915 million posted in the same period of 2005. Group ordinary net income rose by 8.5% from 1,587 million in the first half of 2005 to 1,722 million in the same period this year. This comparison excludes gains of 328 million on the disposal of 13.86% of Terna from the figures for the first half of 2005 and 256 million in income from the exchange of 30.97% of Wind for 20.9% of Weather Investments in the first half of 2006.
Net capital employed amounted to 33,072 million at June 30, 2006, 57.4% of which was financed by shareholders’ equity of 18,995 million and 42.6% by net financial debt of 14,077 million, which increased by 1,765 million (+14.3%) from its level at December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of the acquisition of 66% of Slovenske Elektrarne and the consolidation of its debt. The debt/equity ratio at June 30, 2006 was 0.74, compared with 0.63 at end-2005.
Group employees at June 30, 2006 numbered 59,503, an increase of 7,725 on the 51,778 at December 31, 2005. The rise reflects the change in the Group’s scope of consolidation, notably the acquisition of Slovenske Elektrarne (7,582 employees), while the net balance of new hires and reductions was negative, at 1,010.

SIGNIFICANT POST-PERIOD EVENTS
July: Acquisition for 14.2 million of Erelis, a French wind plant development company with projects totalling approximately 500 MW of power.
August: Acquisition for 118 million of joint control of Fortuna, a company with 300 MW of hydroelectric capacity in Panama, accounting for 30% of power generation in that country.
OUTLOOK
In the first half of 2006 Enel continued its international expansion. In April it completed the acquisition of 66% of Slovenske Elektrarne, the largest power generator in Slovakia and the second largest in Central and Eastern Europe, which, with approximately 7,000 MW of capacity well balanced between thermal, hydro and nuclear, enables electricity generation at highly competitive costs. Also in the first half, Enel acquired a 49.5% stake in the Russian electricity trader RusEnegoSbyt and reached an agreement to acquire the entire share capital of 11 companies with concessions for 22 hydro plants in Brazil with an installed capacity of about 98 MW. The Company also won the tender to acquire 67.5% of Electrica Muntenia Sud (a distribution company serving more than 1.1 million customers in the Bucharest region).
Enel will continue to pursue its international expansion strategy in the second half of 2006, evidenced by the recent acquisitions in the renewables sector in France and Panama.
In Italy, Enel will continue to develop programmes to increase operating efficiency and reduce costs. Enel will maximise synergies between the electricity and gas sectors, will continue to optimise fuel supplies and plant efficiency and pursue an increasingly secure, efficient fuel mix through the repowering programme of power plants. Net financial debt is expected to stand at approximately 15 billion at the end of the year, taking into account cash flows from current operations and scheduled acquisitions.
On the basis of the results achieved in the first half of the year, and the initiatives undertaken by Enel, net of Wind and Terna’s contribution we expect Group ordinary net income for 2006 to exceed that posted in 2005.
ENEL S.p.A.’S RESULTS IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2006
Enel S.p.A.’s unconsolidated semi-annual report at June 30, 2006 was prepared using the accounting principles established in the IFRS. The figures of 2005 used for the purposes of comparison were also calculated in accordance with the IFRS as specified in the document “Enel S.p.A.’s transition to IFRS” approved by the Board of Directors on July 27, 2006.

Revenues amounted to 592 million in the first half of 2006, up 17.5% on the 504 million posted in the first half of 2005. The rise is mainly attributable to increased revenues from power sales as a result of an increase in prices during the period.
EBIT came to 284 million, down 38 million on the year-earlier period. Excluding the gain on the disposal of 13.86% of Terna (equal to 443 million for the Parent Company) from the result for the first half of 2005 and income of 146 million generated in the exchange of 30.97% of Wind for 20.9% of Weather Investments from the figures for the first six months of this year, EBIT rose by 259 million.
Net equity income totalled 3,025 million (1,424 million in the first half of 2005). It includes dividends from subsidiaries amounting to 3,069 million (1,536 million in the first half of 2005) and net financial expenses of 44 million (112 million in the year-earlier period).
Net income for the period amounted to 3,264 million, compared with 1,772 million in the first half of 2005. The difference of 1,492 million is largely attributable to the increase in income from equity investments.
Net financial debt declined from 2,805 million at the end of 2005 to 2,394 million at June 30, 2006.
Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2006 totalled 15,673 million (15,025 million at December 31, 2005). The change is primarily due to net income for the period less distributed dividends.
The debt/equity ratio stood at 0.15 at June 30, 2006 compared to 0.19 at December 31, 2005.

BOARD APPROVES DISTRIBUTION OF INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR 2006
Given that the Parent Company posted net income of 3,264 million in the first half of 2006, and due to the performance expected for the remainder of 2006, the Board of Directors has voted to distribute an interim dividend for 2006 of 0.20 per share.
Pursuant to Article 2433-bis of the Civil Code, the external auditor KPMG S.p.A. issued a favourable opinion on September 6, 2006.
The interim dividend, gross of any withholding tax, will be paid as from November 23, 2006, with the ex-dividend date for coupon no. 8 falling on November 20, 2006.
BOND ISSUES AND MATURING BONDS
In the first half of the year Enel S.p.A. issued a new tranche of a bond to the value of 51 million with a 2024 expiry, placed privately with a leading Italian insurance company.
Following the acquisition of 66% of Slovenske Elektrarne, at June 30, 2006 Enel has consolidated a 195 million bond issued by Slovenske Elektrarne in 2004 and maturing in 2011.
Between July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2007 bonds totalling 507 million will be maturing, all issued by Enel S.p.A.
Taking into account the large size of the maturing bonds, we report that on November 28, 2006 a fixed-rate bond of 150 million placed privately with institutional investors will fall due.
*****
At 10 am (Rome time) today, September 7, 2006, at Enel’s Auditorium, Viale Regina Margherita 125, Rome, Enel will present the first half 2006 results and an update on the progress of the business plan to financial analysts and institutional investors. The presentation will be followed by a press conference.
Documentation relating to the presentation will be available on Enel’s website in the investor relations section from the beginning of the event.

EBIT
    113       30       +276.7 %
Capex
    14       16       -12.5 %
Revenues from electricity and gas sales amounted to 10,533 million in the first six months of the year, an increase of 1,347 million (+14.7%) on the year-earlier period. The rise is mainly due to greater revenues from electricity sales allocated to cover the rise in the price of fuels used for generation.
EBITDA came to 162 million for the period, up 87 million on the same period of 2005 (+116%). The increase is largely due to the growth in the margin on electricity sales from non-recurring items resulting from electricity purchases in previous periods. The rise more than offset the contraction in the margin on gas sales following a number of regulatory changes to the mechanism for adjusting gas supply prices.
EBIT totalled 113 million in the first six months, up 83 million compared to the same period of 2005.
Enel is making significant progress towards achieving its 2007 target of sales to the free market, having increased the total number of customers from 60,000 to 220,000 at the end of August. Sales contracted for 2007 currently stand at 29 TWh, which represent 97% of the 2007 target.

Revenues came to 7,932 million in the first half of 2006, up 1,335 million (+20.2%) on the first half of the previous year.

 


Table of Contents

EBITDA amounted to 1,850 million, down 384 million (-17.2%) with respect to the corresponding period of 2005 owing to a smaller contribution from prior-year items (-262 million) and to the impact of fair value measurement of contracts for differences with the Single Buyer (-422 million), which were only partly offset by an increase in the generation margin (up 308 million).
EBIT for the period totalled 1,413 million, down 244 million (-14.7%) on the same period last year.
Enel’s repowering programme of thermal plants is progressing according to plan. In addition, in the first half of 2006 the renewables development was strengthened as eight plants were put on line with an overall capacity of approximately 60 MW.
Domestic Infrastructure and Networks
Results (millions of euro):
                         
    H1     H1        
    2006     2005     Change

EBIT
    1,334       1,217       +9.6 %
Capex
    648       712       -9.0 %
Revenues totalled 2,767 million in the first half of the year, up 146 million (+5.6%) on the same period last year due to increased revenues from electricity operations (162 million), which include 85 million in gains on the disposal of the grids of a number of municipalities in the province of Modena. This more than offset the decline in gas revenues (-16 million) owing to the reduction in gas transported and to the fact that non-recurring revenues had been recognized in the first half of 2005.
EBITDA totalled 1,736 million in the first half of 2006, an increase of 157 million (+9.9%) with respect to the same period last year. The rise is attributable to better performance from the electricity sector (178 million), which offset the decrease in the margin in the gas sector (21 million) associated with the factors mentioned above.
After depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses totalling 402 million (362 million in the year-earlier period), EBIT amounted to 1,334 million in the period, up 117 million (+9.6%) on the first half of 2005.
Enel continued to focus on improving processes and on network technology. The Automatic Meter Management System project, launched in 2002, is due for completion at year end.

EBIT
    251       128       +96.1 %
Capex
    130       116       + 12.1 %
Revenues rose by 474 million (+59.1%) from 802 million in the first half of 2005 to 1,276 million in the first half of 2006. The increase is largely attributable to the consolidation of Slovenske Elektrarne (244 million) and the acquisition of the two Romanian electricity distribution companies in the second quarter of 2005 (169 million).
EBITDA came to 373 million, up 158 million (+73.5%) on the first half of 2005, mainly as a result of the consolidation of Slovenske Elektrarne ( 70 million) and the contribution of Romanian distribution companies (44 million), Maritza (31 million) and the U.S. subsidiaries (25 million).
EBIT totalled 251 million in the period, an increase of 123 million (+96.1%) on the first half of 2005.
Services and Other Activities
Revenues amounted to 510 million in the first half of this year, compared with 693 million in the same period last year (-26.4%). The change is mainly attributable to the transfer of engineering and construction operations to the Domestic Generation and Energy Management Division (-262 million). EBITDA totalled 97 million, a moderate decrease with respect to the figures for the first six months of 2005 (104 million). EBIT also fell slightly, from 63 million in the first half of 2005 to 55 million in the first six months of 2006.
