Santiago, May 19, 2020 - Following the forecast for heavy rainfall in the Metropolitan Region, Enel Distribución has activated its preventive plan to address possible events that could affect the electrical distribution system. It has therefore enhanced its on-site technical operating capacity and its information channels for interaction with clients.
It has also strengthened its call center (600 696 0000) and its digital channels to facilitate contact with clients. These channels are: the enel.cl website, the @EnelClientesCL Twitter account, the “Enel Chile” Facebook fan page, and the “Enel Clientes Chile” mobile app, which is the fastest way of contacting the company. To use it, download the app and enter your client number when you start it up, so that the users are registered and activated.
The company operates a georeferenced technological platform that allows users to check the detailed electrical supply status for each sector, with district-level summaries. It is updated every 15 minutes on the www.enel.cl website, and can be accessed directly at https://www.enel.cl/es/clientes/servicios-en-linea/mapa-en-linea-cortes.html
In the event of any interruption to electricity supply, Enel Distribución encourages its clients to remain prudent, and not to make any attempts to restore the service by themselves, so as to avoid any risk of electrocution.
