Santiago, June 2, 2020 - As a result of rain forecasts announced for the Metropolitan Region, Enel Distribución activated its prevention plan to address potential incidents that could affect the electric power distribution system. Within this context, the company reinforced its technical and operational capacity in the field and its customer information and interaction channels.

It also reinforced its call center (600 696 0000) and digital channels to facilitate contact with customers. These are: the website enel.cl, Twitter account @EnelClientesCL, Facebook fan page "Enel Chile" and the mobile app “Enel Clientes Chile,” which is the fastest way to contact the company.

The company has a georeferenced technology platform that shows the status of the electric power supply, detailed by sector and summarized by municipality.

Electro-dependents

Enel Distribución has over 400 generators available for priority cases, which are assigned to the homes registered as electro-dependents and who lose power at any time. Likewise, the company distributed additional generators to the different municipalities around its concession zone, so that they, too, can assist electro-dependent patients in their respective communities.

In the event of an interruption in the electric power supply, the company asks customers to act prudently and not intervene or attempt to fix the problem on their own, in order to avoid risk of electrocution.
