PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

In this annual report, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "AES Gener", "we", "us", "our" and the Company refer to AES Gener S.A. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Our audited consolidated financial statements and, unless otherwise indicated, the other financial information presented in this annual report, are presented in Chilean pesos in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile, or
Chilean GAAP, and the rules of the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, or SVS. Chilean GAAP differs in certain important respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States, or U.S. GAAP. See note 37 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 contained in Item 18 herein for a description of the principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S.
GAAP as they relate to us. Note 37 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 also contains a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of our net income for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and
2004 and our total shareholders' equity at December 31, 2003 and 2004. Under U.S. GAAP, a definition of the functional currency is required, which may differ from the reporting currency of a company. In 2003, management determined the U.S. dollar to
be AES Gener's functional currency in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 52. Therefore, by applying the procedures specified in SFAS No. 52, we remeasured the audited consolidated financial statements for
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Unless otherwise specified, references herein to "U.S. dollars", "dollars", "$" or "US$" are to United States dollars, references to "peso" or "Ch$" are to Chilean pesos, the legal currency of Chile, references to "Col$" are to Colombian pesos, the
legal currency of Colombia, references to "Arg$" are to Argentine pesos, the legal currency of Argentina, references to "RD$" are to Dominican Republic pesos, the legal currency of the Dominican Republic, and references to "UF" are to Unidad de
Fomento. The Unidad de Fomento is an inflation-indexed, Chilean peso-denominated monetary unit that is linked to, and set daily in advance to reflect changes in the previous month's Chilean consumer price index. As of December 31, 2004,
one UF was equivalent to Ch$17,317.

For your convenience, we have translated certain peso amounts into U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise indicated, information regarding the U.S. dollar equivalents of amounts in pesos is based on the Observed Exchange Rate, which is the daily exchange
rate between the Chilean peso and U.S. dollar, reported by the Chilean Central Bank for December 31, 2004 (the rate we used for December 31, 2004 financial reporting purposes), which was Ch$557.4 = US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does
not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos. The exchange rate between the Colombian peso and the U.S. dollar used by us for December 31, 2004 financial reporting purposes was Col$2,389.75 = US$1.00. The exchange rate between the Argentine peso
and the U.S. dollar used by us for December 31, 2004 financial reporting purposes was Arg$2.98 = US$1.00. The exchange rate between the Dominican Republic peso and the U.S. dollar used by us for December 31, 2004 financial reporting purposes was
RD$30.80 = US$1.00. No representation is made that the peso, U.S. dollar or other currency amounts shown in this annual report could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or pesos at such rate or at any other rate.

For the purposes of Chilean GAAP, we consolidate the results of operations of any company defined as a filial, or subsidiary, in accordance with Ley Sobre Sociedades Anónimas, Ley No. 18,046, or the Chilean Corporations Law. In
order to consolidate the results of operations of a company, we must satisfy, in general, one of two criteria. We must either:

- control, directly or indirectly, more than a 50.0% voting interest in such company; or
- nominate or have the power to nominate a majority of the board of directors of such company if we control 50.0% or less of the voting interest in such company.

Our most significant consolidated subsidiaries include:

- Norgener S.A., or Norgener, which is 100.0% owned by us and operates a 277 MW coal-fired plant in northern Chile;
- Energía Verde S.A., or Energía Verde, which is 100.0% owned by us and operates two cogeneration plants and a gas peaking turbine with a total nominal capacity of 42.4 MW, as well as a steam generation plant in south-central Chile;

- Sociedad Eléctrica Santiago S.A., or Eléctrica Santiago, which is 90.0% owned by us and operates a 379 MW combined-cycle plant in Santiago, Chile;
- TermoAndes S.A., or TermoAndes, which is 100.0% owned by us and operates a 642.8 MW combined-cycle plant in Salta, Argentina;
- InterAndes S.A., or InterAndes, which is 100.0% owned by us and operates a 345 kV transmission line from the TermoAndes plant in Argentina to the Chilean border; and
- Chivor S.A. E.S.P., or Chivor, which is 99.9% owned by us and operates a 1,000 MW hydroelectric plant in Colombia.

Prior to January 1, 2004, investments in other companies ranging from 10% to 50% of common stock were recorded under the equity method of accounting. As of January 1, 2004, we changed the accounting treatment for investments in other companies
that, at a consolidated level, were more than 10% and less than 20% of common stock to comply with the SVS Official Circular, No. 1,697, dated December 30, 2003. Investments that meet these criteria will be recorded at acquisition cost restated for
price-level changes and will no longer be recorded under the equity-method of accounting. Our most significant equity-method investees are:

- Empresa Eléctrica Guacolda S.A., or Guacolda, which is 50.0% owned by us and operates a 304 MW coal-fired generation facility in Chile;
- Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Itabo S.A., or Itabo, which is 25.0% owned by us and operates 432.5 MW of generation facilities in the Dominican Republic;

This change affected the following investments: Gasoducto GasAndes S.A., or GasAndes Chile, Gasoducto GasAndes Argentina S.A., or GasAndes Argentina and the CDEC-SIC, which are now considered related companies. Our financial data included in this
annual report for periods prior to January 1, 2004 includes these three entities, the most significant of which are:

- GasAndes Argentina, an Argentine company that is 13.0% owned by us and transports natural gas through a pipeline from the Province of Mendoza in Argentina to the Chilean border; and
- GasAndes Chile, a Chilean company that is 13.0% owned by us and transports natural gas through a pipeline from the Argentine border to the Santiago Metropolitan Region.

Unless otherwise indicated, information with respect to our electrical capacity includes the total capacity of AES Gener S.A., together with the total capacity of each of our consolidated subsidiaries.

CALCULATION OF ECONOMIC INTEREST

Except in our audited consolidated financial statements, and unless otherwise specified, references to our percentage interest in a subsidiary or equity-method investee refer to our level of economic interest in that subsidiary or equity-method
investee. Our economic interest in a subsidiary or equity-method investee is calculated by multiplying our percentage ownership interest in a directly held subsidiary or equity-method investee by the percentage ownership interest of any entity in
the chain of ownership of such ultimate subsidiary or equity-method investee. For example, if we own 60% of a directly held subsidiary that owns 40% of an equity-method investee, our economic ownership interest in that equity-method investee would
be 24%.

TECHNICAL TERMS

In this annual report references to "GW" and "GWh" are to gigawatts and gigawatt hours, respectively, references to "MW" and "MWh" are to megawatts and megawatt hours, respectively, references to "kW" and "kWh" are to kilowatts and kilowatt-hours,
respectively, and references to "kV" are to kilovolts. Unless otherwise indicated, statistics provided throughout this annual report with respect to electricity generation facilities are expressed in MW, in the case of the nominal capacity of such
facilities, and in GWh, in the case of the aggregate electricity production of such facilities. One GW = 1,000 MW, and one

STATISTICAL INFORMATION

Statistical information contained in this annual report regarding the economies of, and electricity industries in, Chile, Colombia, Argentina and the Dominican Republic, and regarding the competitors of AES Gener S.A. and its subsidiaries and

Exchange Rates

Chile has two currency markets, the Mercado Cambiario Formal, or Formal Exchange Market, and the Mercado Cambiario Informal, or Informal Exchange Market. The Formal Exchange Market is comprised of banks and other entities authorized
by the Chilean Central Bank. The Informal Exchange Market is comprised of entities that are not expressly authorized to operate in the Formal Exchange Market, such as certain foreign exchange houses and travel agencies, among others. The Chilean
Central Bank is empowered to determine that certain purchases and sales of foreign currencies must be carried out on the Formal Exchange Market. Both the Formal and Informal Exchange Markets are driven by free market forces. Current regulations
require that the Chilean Central Bank be informed of certain transactions and that they be effected through the Formal Exchange Market.

For the purposes of the operation of the Formal Exchange Market, the Chilean Central Bank sets a dólar acuerdo, or Reference Exchange Rate. The Reference Exchange Rate is reset daily by the Chilean Central Bank, taking into account
internal and external inflation and variations in parities between the Chilean peso and each of the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen and the Euro at a ratio of 80:5:15, respectively. In order to keep the average exchange rate within certain limits, the
Chilean Central Bank may intervene by buying or selling foreign currency on the Formal Exchange Market. The dólar observado, or Observed Exchange Rate, which is reported by the Chilean Central Bank and published daily in the Chilean
newspapers, is computed by taking the weighted average of the previous business day's transactions on the Formal Exchange Market. On September 2, 1999, the Chilean Central Bank eliminated the band within which the Observed Exchange Rate could
fluctuate, in order to provide greater flexibility in the exchange market. Nevertheless, the Chilean Central Bank has the power to intervene by buying or selling foreign currency on the Formal Exchange Market to attempt to maintain the Observed
Exchange Rate within a desired range.

The Informal Exchange Market reflects transactions carried out at an informal exchange rate, or the Informal Exchange Rate. There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate above
or below the Observed Exchange Rate. Since 1993, the Observed Exchange Rate and the Informal Exchange Rate have typically been within less than 1% of one another.

The following table sets forth the annual low, high, average and year-end Observed Exchange Rate for U.S. dollars for each year starting in 2000 as reported by the Chilean Central Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon
buying rate for Chilean pesos.

Risk Factors Related to AES Gener

Our businesses are subject to extensive governmental legislation and regulation.

As regulated electric companies, we and our equity-method investees are subject to the extensive regulation of various aspects of our businesses. The current regulatory framework governing electricity utility businesses has been in existence in
Chile since 1982, in Colombia since 1994, in Argentina since 1992 and in the Dominican Republic since 1999. We are also subject to environmental regulations, which, among other things, require us to perform environmental impact assessments of future
projects and obtain regulatory permits. As with any regulated company, we cannot assure you that the laws or regulations in the countries where we have operations or investments will not change, or be interpreted, in a manner that could adversely
affect us or our equity-method investees or that any requested environmental approval will be granted by government authorities. For example, in May 2001, the Chilean government issued Resolution No. 88, under which electricity generators such as us
are required to provide power to distribution companies in the SIC at the regulated price, denominated the node price, if such companies are unable to freely contract for adequate power to meet their customers' needs. This resolution
effectively requires us to supply more energy to distribution companies than we have otherwise freely contracted for, thereby increasing our exposure to purchases on the spot market if at such time we do not have available uncontracted generation
capacity. See "Item 4.

Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewRegulation of Electricity Generation in Chile, Colombia, Argentina and the Dominican Republic".

Weather conditions in the SIC and Colombia could have a direct effect on our operations in the electricity sector and could also lead to governmental involvement.

Our operations in the SIC and Colombia can be substantially impacted by hydrological conditions and the effects that such weather conditions can have on the prices of energy.

In recent years, during certain hours, particularly peak hours, our contracted energy in the SIC has grown beyond our generation capabilities. Therefore, we generally have to purchase electricity at spot prices in order to meet our commitments. As
a result, future drought conditions, which generally result in higher prices for energy, will necessitate purchases at higher prices on the spot market in addition to generation by our less cost-efficient units. Although we are currently evaluating
several expansion projects in the SIC in order to reduce our exposure to drought conditions, droughts could adversely affect our operations and financial condition until any future project is completed. In addition, during periods of extreme drought
conditions, Chilean authorities may impose electricity rationing and may require us to pay regulatory penalties related to the operation of our business. For example, if we are required to buy electricity on the spot market during a period in which
a rationing decree is in effect, we may be required to pay a "shortage cost" to other generators, which is the cost to consumers for not having energy available that is set by regulatory authorities.

In Colombia, our energy output generated under contract is presently lower than our expected hydroelectric generation. As a result, since 2001, we have been selling between 34% and 44% of our electricity on the spot market. Due to the Colombian
market structure, our Chivor business must submit bids for the sale of its generation, and its revenues from spot market sales are subject to the variable price of electricity, which depends on current market and electric system conditions at any
point in time. Spot market prices depend directly on hydrological weather conditions, with prices increasing in dry years and falling in wet years. Thus, revenues received from Chivor's spot market transactions fluctuate and affect our operating
results.

Although we use proprietary statistical models to evaluate the risks associated with our contractual commitments, we cannot assure you that the level of our future contractual commitments in the SIC or Colombia will be optimal for the weather
conditions prevailing at that time. In addition, severely dry weather conditions may lead to government intervention imposing power rationing as well as penalties on companies involved in the electricity sector while extremely wet weather conditions
may lead to plant damage and/or interruptions in generation, both of which could have a negative impact on our operations and financial condition.

Operational difficulties could limit our ability to generate.

We may experience operational difficulties that could affect our ability to generate and, as a result, adversely impact our operating results. These difficulties may affect our generation equipment, electromechanical components and, in general, any
of our assets required in the supply of electricity. For example, in May 2004, Chivor's facilities received exceptionally heavy rainfall during a 24-hour period, which caused the water inflow to increase above normal levels, causing minor damages to
the facility, including to certain generating units that had to be taken out of service while repairs were completed. As a result, Chivor was forced to purchase energy in the spot market and engage in short-term agreements with other generators in
order to fulfill its contractual obligations. Additionally, in June 2004, the main transformer of one of TermoAndes gas turbines was declared unavailable for dispatch after experiencing an unanticipated failure and remained out of service
until early November 2004, when repairs were completed. TermoAndes was able to place its other identical gas turbine in service in order to continue providing energy under normal conditions. However, it received lower capacity payments during the
outage from AES Gener, in accordance with the power purchase agreement between TermoAndes and us, to reflect the decrease in the plants availability factor during the outage. Additionally, the long-term firm capacity payments received by AES
Gener in the CDEC-SING were reduced by 3% as a result of this outage.

If such operational difficulties occur in the future, we would need to make spot market purchases or enter into supply agreements to fulfill our existing supply agreement obligations. This could have a negative impact
on our cash flows. We cannot assure you that similar events will not occur in the future.

We maintain comprehensive insurance with respect to our facilities, including all-risk property damage and business interruption insurance, which covers, among other things, damage caused by fire, floods and
earthquakes, however, we cannot

assure you that the amounts for which we are insured or amounts which we may receive under such insurance coverage would cover all of our losses.

In the future, we may review the book values of our assets and may determine that such book values have been impaired.

When events or circumstances warrant, we review the book values of our assets to determine whether there has been an impairment of the value of any of our assets. Due to unfavorable economic and regulatory conditions in Colombia, to excess capacity
in the SING that had resulted in dispatch limitations and lower prices that have affected our Argentine assets, we have recently performed impairment tests under Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP with respect to our Colombian asset, Chivor, and our
Argentine assets, TermoAndes/InterAndes. At this time, we do not believe that any impairment-related adjustments to the book values of these assets are necessary. In the future, we will continue to review the book values of our assets. We cannot
assure you that any such review will not require adjustments to the book values of our assets, including Chivor and TermoAndes/InterAndes. A downward adjustment to the book values of our assets would have a negative impact on our earnings under
Chilean GAAP and therefore would reduce our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

A substantial portion of our operations is conducted through subsidiaries and equity-method investees.

We conduct a substantial portion of our operations through our subsidiaries and equity-method investees. In 2004, approximately 44% of our operating revenues were derived from our subsidiaries. In certain circumstances, the ability of each of our
subsidiaries and equity-method investees to pay dividends may be restricted by, among other things, its ability to generate cash flows from operations, the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and the financing agreements to which it is a
party. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsB. Liquidity and Capital Resources" in this annual report for a description of AES Gener S.A.'s and its subsidiaries' outstanding debt.

Our financial results can be adversely affected by foreign exchange fluctuations.

The Chilean peso, the Colombian peso and the Argentine peso have been subject to large devaluations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. Historically, a significant portion of our consolidated indebtedness has
been denominated in U.S. dollars and, although a substantial portion of our revenues in Chile is linked in part to U.S. dollars, we generally have been, and will continue to be, exposed to fluctuations of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar
because of time lags and other limitations in the indexation of Chilean tariffs to the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, in the event of a devaluation of the Chilean peso under Chilean GAAP, we are required to account in Chilean pesos for 100% of the losses
relating to our U.S. dollar-denominated indebtedness in the year that such losses occur. This can materially reduce our earnings under Chilean GAAP, thereby limiting our ability to pay or preventing us from paying dividends in excess of retained
earnings.

In Colombia, 66% of our indebtedness is denominated in U.S. dollars, but only approximately 21% of our revenues are currently denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, a devaluation of the Colombian peso in relation to the U.S. dollar may adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations. In Argentina, as our TermoAndes plant sells into the Chilean SING, our earnings are denominated in U.S. dollars, except for net tax credits (including VAT and others), which are denominated
in Argentine pesos, which in 2004 amounted to approximately US$13 million. Consequently, a devaluation of the Argentine peso may result in a decrease in our tax credits in U.S. dollar terms.

Since the U.S. dollar is our functional currency for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, our financial results in U.S. GAAP are not affected by foreign exchange fluctuations, except for those asset and liability line items expressed in Chilean pesos and
other non U.S.-denominated currencies, such as the UF-denominated local bond of Eléctrica Santiago, the swap agreement that our equity-method investee Guacolda entered into to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations related to its senior
secured credit and marketable securities and time-bank deposits held at AES Gener, our Chilean subsidiaries and our equity-method investees, among others. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsA. Operating
ResultsImpact of Inflation and Price-Level Restatement" in this annual report.

We may be unable to successfully implement our capital investments.

The success of our capital investments depends on numerous factors, including the cost and availability of fuel, the cost and availability of financing and the effect of delays or difficulties in obtaining regulatory approvals and permits. The
construction of new facilities may be adversely affected by factors commonly associated with such projects, which will have an adverse effect on our market share.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from unregulated energy supply contracts, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew these contracts on favorable terms or at all.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we derived approximately 37% of our Chilean operating revenues from long-term electricity sales contracts with unregulated customers. Such contracts are entered into at the market prices prevailing at the time
of execution and, given their long-term nature, their value may deviate from the market price of electricity at different points during the terms of the contracts. For example, Norgener entered into its 1993 and 1994 power purchase agreements with
Minera Escondida Limitada, or Escondida, at prevailing market prices. These agreements were later modified as a result of a settlement reached in an arbitration proceeding. Additionally, since 2001 our Colombian subsidiary, Chivor, has sold between
56% to 67% of its generation through energy supply agreements each year. These agreements generally range in term from one to two years. Such agreements are usually entered into at the market prices prevailing at the time of execution and at fixed
price terms thereby ensuring future revenues. We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew any such contracts upon expiration or that if we do renew such contracts, the renewal will be at prices that are as favorable or more favorable than the
original prices.

Lawsuits against us or our equity-method investees could adversely affect our operating results.

We and our equity-method investees sell electricity on a contractual basis to numerous distribution companies, industrial customers and electricity generation companies, among others. We also enter into other legal agreements customary to the
normal conduct of business. The provisions of such contracts and agreements may be disputed by the parties thereto from time to time. In addition, we may be subject to lawsuits and legal proceedings regarding, among other things, environmental
regulations, public liability, and labor and supplier disputes. Several lawsuits filed have been filed by landowners against our Colombian subsidiary Chivor for alleged damages caused by spillouts from the flooding of downstream rivers.
Notwithstanding the fact that we take reasonable measures to prevent damages to such third parties during spillouts, which are implemented when the plants reservoir reaches certain water limits, and that other power generators may be
responsible for or contribute to the damages allegedly caused by Chivor, we cannot guarantee that favorable rulings will be obtained in all the above-mentioned cases.

We cannot assure you that pending or future lawsuits brought against us or our equity-method investees will not adversely affect our operations or financial condition. See "Item 8. Financial InformationConsolidated Statements and Other
Financial InformationLegal Proceedings" in this annual report.

Our operations could be adversely affected by fuel price variability.

Our and our equity-method investees' thermoelectric plants burn natural gas, coal and other petroleum-based fuels. Argentine natural gas is purchased under long-term market-based contracts for the Eléctrica Santiago and TermoAndes
combined-cycle units. Additionally, coal is purchased internationally as the primary fuel for several of our plants, while our peaking plants utilize petroleum-based fuels. In addition, two of our equity-method investees, Guacolda and Itabo, burn
fossil fuels. Increases in the market prices for these fuels would lead to higher operating costs, which would adversely affect our operations, at least until the higher fuel costs are adequately reflected in electricity prices. See "Item 3. Risk
Factors Risk Factors Related to Our Chilean OperationsOur business may be affected by restrictions, interruptions or increased costs in our natural gas supply from Argentina" in this annual report.

Our cash flow may be adversely affected by difficulties in collecting accounts receivable from our customers.

Difficulties in collecting payments from customers may adversely affect our cash flow. In Colombia, we have had difficulties in recent years in collecting payments from some of our customers, in particular, distribution companies. In 2003, after
repeated collection problems with a certain distribution company that owed Chivor Co1$6,252 million (which amount represented approximately US$3.1 million at the time), Chivor sold that company's debt to a third party for 10% of the balance, or
approximately US$200,000 at such time. Our equity-method investee Itabo located in the Dominican Republic also experiences collection difficulties related to its power purchase agreements with distribution companies. Additionally, in the SIC during
the severe drought that occurred in 1998 and 1999, generation companies disputed the amounts to be paid for purchases made on the spot market during rationing periods, resulting in collection difficulties. We have also experienced minor problems
collecting outstanding payments from certain customers in Chile. Difficulties in collecting payments for electricity supply from contract or spot market customers may adversely affect our cash flow. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
collect accounts receivable without difficulty, if at all.

Risk Factors Related to Our Chilean Operations

We are substantially dependent on economic conditions prevailing in Chile.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, 81% of our consolidated operating revenues were derived from our operations in Chile, including the operations of TermoAndes, which is located in Argentina although its electricity and capacity is sold in
Chile. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent on economic conditions prevailing in Chile. In turn, economic conditions are substantially dependent on exports of raw materials, which depend on
international prices for those raw materials. In addition, in recent years, the growth of the Chilean economy has slowed from the rates achieved in the 1990s. As a reference, in 2004, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Chile increased at an
inflation-adjusted rate estimated at 6.1% compared to the 3.3% increase experienced in 2003. We cannot predict whether the Chilean economy or electricity consumption will grow or decline in the future or if future developments in the Chilean economy
will materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our financial results could be adversely affected by overcapacity in the SIC and the SING.

In the next few years, any growth in electricity supply that outpaces growth in demand, including from potential interconnection projects and the construction of new power plants, may create overcapacity in the SIC. Under those circumstances our
operating revenues from regulated customers, spot sales and potential new unregulated customers could decline, and our financial results could be adversely affected.

In the SING, excess capacity currently exists and, as a result of reliability constraints the Economic Load Dispatch Center of the SING, or the CDEC-SING, has the power to set the maximum level of dispatch for each independent unit in the SING
between 150 MW and 270 MW. While this limit had previously been set at 180 MW, in 2005, it was increased to 260 MW during peak hours. This measure is part of the "Short-Term Operational Reliability Plan" adopted by the CDEC-SING in order to minimize
the risk of energy outages in the SING, which in the past has been affected by blackouts sanctioned by the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles, the Chilean Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels, or CSEC. This dispatch
restriction limits generation from all power plant facilities that sell into the SING. As a result, TermoAndes is only able to produce up to 245 MW. The dispatch limitation level set by the CDEC-SING tracks total electricity demand in the SING,
which principally relates to mining activities. If further system blackouts occur, or the demand for electricity in the SING declines, the dispatch limitation may be reduced. If the dispatch level were to be reduced, TermoAndes' operating income,
and over the long term, Norgener's operating income, would be adversely affected.

Our business may be affected by restrictions, interruptions or increased costs in our natural gas supply from Argentina.

Our subsidiary Eléctrica Santiago produces electricity by burning natural gas produced in southern Argentina and transported from there to central Argentina through a pipeline owned by Transportadora Gas del Norte S.A., or TGN. The natural
gas is then transported to Eléctrica Santiago through a pipeline owned and operated by two of our related companies, GasAndes Argentina and GasAndes Chile, which originates in Argentina and crosses into Chile through the Andes Mountains. The
TGN pipeline supplies consumers in Argentina and Chile. TGN is currently experiencing financial difficulties and may not be able to invest in necessary expansions; however, we have a contract for firm transportation service which is sufficient to
cover our foreseeable natural gas consumption.

Additionally, in 2004, the Argentine government enacted several regulations that directly restrict the export of natural gas in an attempt to ensure domestic natural gas supply and other regulations that impose additional duties on exports and may
increase costs. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsTrend Information. These regulations are the result of a series of factors including drought, high domestic natural gas consumption and lack of investment by
natural gas producers in recent years in part due to the conversion into Argentine pesos, or pesofication, of tariffs. Eléctrica Santiago's natural gas suppliers have claimed that these regulations constitute a force majeure under the gas
supply agreements and have temporarily suspended delivery at certain times between May and August 2004, as well as during the first several months of 2005, in order to supply the domestic market. The reductions in the supply of natural gas to
Eléctrica Santiago has required the company to reduce its output, as well as to generate electricity with diesel oil as a substitute for natural gas at certain times, sharply increasing its cost of sales. Additionally, these reductions in
electric generation also required Eléctrica Santiago to rely on the spot market to purchase a portion of the energy required to meet its contractual commitments. Since February 2005, during certain periods, Eléctrica Santiagos
gas suppliers have complied with the natural gas export restrictions by providing coal as an alternative energy source for electricity generation in Argentina, thereby continuing to deliver natural gas to Eléctrica

8

Table of Contents

Santiago. However, such gas supplies are provided at a higher cost, equivalent to the cost of the alternative energy supplied to the Argentine market.

The Argentine export restrictions have also affected the gas supplies of other natural gas-fired generation companies in Chile. The impact of gas curtailments limiting generation by Eléctrica Santiago and other Chilean generation companies,
as well as the substitution of higher priced alternative or replacement fuel supplies, has led to an increase in the spot market price of electricity, thereby increasing the cost of spot purchases made by us and our subsidiaries.

Given the current unstable economic and political situation in Argentina, see Risk Factors Related to Our Argentinean Operations and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsTrend Information, the
application of existing regulations and duties, as well as any additional measures implemented by the Argentine government, is uncertain. Eléctrica Santiago may continue to experience a reduction in generation output and we, including AES
Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Norgener and our equity-method investees, could be negatively impacted by price increases in the Chilean spot energy markets as a result of a reduction in the supply and/or an increase in the cost of natural gas
from Argentina. Moreover, the Argentine government's regulations impose additional uncertainty as to the feasibility of our development of generation projects using Argentine natural gas in Chile.

Our financial statements are reported, and our dividends are declared, based on Chilean GAAP, which generally differs from U.S. GAAP.

There are important differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP. As a result, Chilean financial statements and reported earnings generally differ from those that are reported based on U.S. GAAP. In particular, our earnings and the amount of
dividends that we declare under Chilean GAAP may be subject to a higher degree of fluctuation as compared to U.S. GAAP due to accounting pronouncements or other modifications required under Chilean GAAP. See note 37 to our audited annual
consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for a description of the principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to our business and a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of our net income for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and our total shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2003 and 2004.

Risk Factors Related to Our Colombian Operations

Chivor has exposure to spot market price fluctuations, which, depending on hydrological conditions in any given year, may adversely impact our operating results.

Since 2001, Chivor has generally sold between approximately 34% and 44% of its generation in the spot market each year. As a participant in the Colombia spot market, Chivor must submit offers for the sale of generation, and its revenues from spot
market sales are therefore subject to the variable price of electricity in the spot market, which price depends on current market and system conditions at any point in time. Spot market prices in the Colombian market depend primarily on hydrological
weather conditions (with prices usually increasing during the dry season and falling during the wet season), actual demand for electricity and fuel prices for thermoelectric generators. Hydrological conditions, and therefore revenues received from
our spot market transactions, may fluctuate, and we cannot assure you that such fluctuations will not adversely affect our operating results.

A decline in GDP growth, and thus in domestic energy demand, or overcapacity in Colombia may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We generate a significant portion of our consolidated operating revenue and consolidated operating income before taxes in Colombia. Our Colombian operations accounted for approximately 19% and 22% of our consolidated operating revenue in the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Therefore, economic conditions in Colombia have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Historically, GDP and domestic energy demand growth in Colombia have been
highly correlated. The GDP of Colombia increased in real terms at an estimated rate of 4.0% in 2004 which is above the 3.7% increase experienced in 2003, in recent years, the growth of the Colombian economy has slowed from the rates of growth
achieved in the 1990s. Any decrease in expected energy demand can adversely affect our operating results. A contraction in energy demand, such as the contraction suffered in 1999 as a result of prevailing economic conditions in Colombia, could lead
to a decline in spot and contract prices due to increased competition in the market. Any growth in energy supply that outpaces energy demand growth, including increased supply from potential interconnection projects and the construction of new power
plants, may increase overcapacity. We cannot assure you that these circumstances will not occur,

which may lead to a decline in system energy prices in Colombia and may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Colombia's foreign exchange policy may be subject to intervention by the Colombian Central Bank, and we may be unable to convert Colombian pesos to U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos.

While the Colombian government does not currently restrict the ability of Colombian persons or entities to convert Colombian pesos into U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos, we cannot assure you that it will not institute a restrictive exchange control
policy that may affect Chivor's ability to remit funds to us in the future. Although the government has not imposed foreign exchange restrictions since 1990, Colombia's foreign currency markets have historically been heavily regulated. Currently,
foreign exchange transactions occur at free, or market, rates of exchange. In 2001, the Colombian peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 2.8%, in 2002 it depreciated by 25.0%, in 2003 it appreciated by 3.0% and, in 2004 it appreciated by 14.0%,
in each case in nominal terms. We cannot assure you that the Colombian Central Bank will continue to follow its current foreign exchange policy in the future or whether it will intervene in the foreign exchange markets to support the Colombian peso
in the event of a substantial devaluation or that any such intervention would be effective.

Colombian law permits the Colombian Central Bank to impose foreign exchange controls over foreign investment and the proceeds thereof if the foreign currency reserves of the Colombian Central Bank fall below a level equal to the value of three
months of imports of goods and services into Colombia. The Colombian Central Bank may intervene by, among other things, either (i) imposing direct exchange controls that may limit our ability to possess, utilize or expatriate foreign currency such
as the U.S. dollar or (ii) utilizing international reserves or borrowing from international institutions or other nations to obtain the currency required for exchange rate manipulations. An intervention that precludes us from possessing, utilizing
or expatriating dollars would impair our ability to make payments on the notes. The Colombian Central Bank reported net international reserves of US$13.5 billion at December 31, 2004, representing coverage of approximately seven months of imports of
goods and services as of such date.

Regulatory changes in Colombia may adversely affect Chivor's operating results.

AES Gener S.A. purchased Chivor in December 1996 as part of the Colombian government's privatization process. Since our purchase of this company, there have been several regulatory changes in the wholesale energy market as well as significant
modifications of the regulations governing the energy industry, including changes in the methodology for the determination of capacity charge payments paid to generation companies. Although the capacity charge established pursuant to Resolution 116
of 1996 as currently applied is valid until November 2006, the Colombian Regulatory Commission of Energy and Gas issued a new capacity charge proposal in July 2004 to be evaluated by market participants. Chivor, in association with other generation
companies and the Association of Colombian Electric Energy Generators, is evaluating the proposal and analyzing different critical hydrology scenarios and simulation models in order to present a counterproposal. We cannot assure you that this
proposal or any resulting regulatory change will not have an adverse impact on our business. See Item 4. Regulation of Electricity Generation in Chile, Colombia, Argentina and the Dominican Republic Colombia.

Any additional taxes resulting from changes to tax regulations or the interpretation thereof in Colombia could negatively impact Chivors financial condition.

Colombian national authorities have levied new taxes in recent years. For example, Law 788 of 2002, which became effective in January 2003, provided for a 10.0% increase, from 35.0% to 38.5%, in the corporate tax rate
for the 2003 fiscal year. Law 863 of 2003 then provided that the 10.0% increase (35.0% to 38.5%) would be in effect until 2007, at which point it is expected to expire. We cannot assure you that additional taxes affecting us will not be implemented,
thereby negatively affecting our financial condition.

Additionally, both Colombian national and local tax collection authorities have varying interpretations of tax regulations that may differ from those held by private companies. We cannot assure you that other tax
authorities, both local and national, will interpret and construe tax laws and regulations in the same way that we do. Differing interpretations may result in future tax litigation and associated costs. See " The outcome of our existing tax
litigation with the municipality of Almeida may negatively affect Chivors financial condition" below.

The outcome of Chivors existing tax litigation with the municipality of Almeida may negatively affect its financial condition.

Table of Contents

Chivor is subject to an industry and commerce tax that must be paid to the nine municipalities located in the vicinity of its reservoir. In March 2004, the government of one such municipality, Almeida, rejected an appeal
made by Chivor with respect to the payment of a Col$16,690 million (approximately US$6.4 million) fine for alleged noncompliance in filing Industry and Commerce tax ("ICA") returns for the period from 1998 through 2002. The municipality of
Almeida has initiated five separate proceedings, one for each year. Currently, Chivor has no further administrative recourse with respect to these claims. 
Consequently, it filed annulment and right restitution lawsuits against these proceedings before the Boyacá Administrative Court on April 1, 2004. As December 31, 2004, all five lawsuits have been admitted by the court, which prohibits the
municipality from seeking further redress unless and until a definitive adverse court decision is reached. A definitive decision by the Boyacá Administrative Court may not be issued for four to six years and an appeal of that decision may
take an additional one to two years.

Should the Almeida municipalitys position prevail, Chivor would be forced to pay the abovementioned Col$16,690 million fine, and the municipality would then be able to pursue the company for tax due plus interest
for the same period. To secure payment, the municipality may to attach assets worth twice the owed amounts plus interest. Such an unfavorable ruling would negatively affect our financial condition. In addition, an adverse ruling in such a case could
set a precedent based on which other neighboring municipalities could also pursue Chivor for alleged past taxes due. We cannot assure you that a favorable ruling will be issued in this case.

Guerilla attacks may adversely affect our ability to operate.

Guerilla organizations have long been active in Colombia and have engaged in acts of terrorism. Most of this activity has been directed towards the oil industry, but the electric power industry has been affected as well. Attacks on transmission
lines by guerilla groups have disrupted energy supplies, which disruption, in some cases, has led to short-term regional power outages. If any of these attacks were to damage our Chivor facility or the transmission lines on which it relies, our
financial condition would be adversely affected. Except for one incident in August 2003 that impacted transmission lines that connect our facilities to the transmission grid, Chivors facilities have not been subject to attacks by any guerilla
group. We cannot assure you, however, that such attacks will not occur in the future.

Risk Factors Related to Our Argentinean Operations

Argentina's legal regime and economy are susceptible to changes that could adversely affect our Argentinean Operations.

The Argentine economy has experienced significant volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or negative growth and high and variable levels of inflation. To address these pressures, the Argentine government has implemented
various plans and utilized a number of exchange rate systems. In January and February 2002, the Argentine government adopted many new economic measures as a result of the continuing political, social and economic crisis. These economic measures
included the abandonment of the country's fixed dollar-to-peso exchange rate, the conversion of U.S. dollar-denominated loans into pesos and the placement of restrictions on the convertibility of the Argentine peso.

The Argentine financial system still remains very unstable after the events of recent years. The main problems that have been faced by financial institutions, particularly banks, include extremely tight liquidity, negative cash flows, deteriorating
loan portfolios and insolvency. In 2003 and 2004, the political and social situation in Argentina showed signs of stabilization, with the Argentine peso appreciating against the U.S. dollar and the economy and electricity demand starting to recover.
In 2003, the inflationary trend also slowed, with the consumer price index rising 3.7% from January to December 2003 and the wholesale price index rising 2.0% in the same period. For the period between January and December 2004, inflation remained
under control, although levels were above the ones prevailing in 2003, with increases of 6.1% and 6.4% in the consumer price index and wholesale price index, respectively. In 2003, Argentinas gross domestic product increased by 8.8%, and in
2004, it showed an increase of 8.5% .

Overall, the series of measures applied by the Argentine government has severely affected the financial system's stability and has had a materially negative impact on its reputation. The current Argentine government which took office in May 2003
has maintained a strict monetary policy that has helped control inflation, keep domestic interest rates low and preserve the value of the Argentine peso. In addition, increased fiscal revenues collected in 2004 have helped generate a primary fiscal
surplus which reached 4% of GDP by year-end. Currently, the governments main efforts are aimed at restructuring the countrys external debt. However, the timing and scope of economic measures to be enacted by the Argentine government,
including expropriations, higher taxes and exchange control measures that may require TermoAndes to

sell electricity in Argentina, are unpredictable and may adversely affect our Argentinean Operations and our results of operations.

TermoAndes' gas supply and gas transportation costs could increase significantly as a result of changes in regulatory policy and disputes with gas suppliers.

In 2002, the Argentine government enacted the Public Emergency and Foreign Exchange System Reform Law, Law No. 25,561, or the Public Emergency Law and other related decrees in accordance with which it converted into Argentine pesos (pesofied) all
obligations and private contracts incurred in dollars as of January 6, 2002 at the exchange rate of Arg$1.00 per US$1.00. Since the beginning of 2002, TermoAndes, as a local consumer of gas, has converted its obligations under its gas supply and gas
transportation agreements into pesos, while the income it receives from its electricity exports is accounted for in U.S. dollars. In accordance with current regulations, payments must be made in Argentine pesos at a 1:1 exchange rate plus the
reference stabilization ratio, or the CER, an inflation index published by the Argentine Central Bank. If any party to an agreement considers that such conversion does not reflect the value of the good or service subject thereof, it may request an
equitable adjustment of the price. TermoAndes began negotiations with its gas suppliers and transportation providers within the framework of the Public Emergency Law at their request.
During 2002, TermoAndes' gas and transportation service providers requested that regulatory authorities re-dollarize, or convert back into U.S. dollars, TermoAndes' gas supply and gas transportation agreements, citing Decrees 689/2002 and 1491/2002,
which state that the Public Emergency Law does not apply to gas export contracts, gas transportation for gas exports or electricity exports. TermoAndes responded to both requests, clarifying that it is an Argentine generation company and that all of
the gas it purchases is consumed within Argentina and is not intended for export. Furthermore, TermoAndes has been making payments under its gas supply and transportation contracts in Argentine pesos at a 1:1 exchange rate against the U.S. dollar,
excluding the CER, which has not been invoiced by the gas suppliers. TermoAndes currently believes that prices for local transportation contracts do not include the CER. We cannot assure you that TermoAndes' gas supply and transportation contracts
payments will not be re-dollarized in the future or that the CER will not be applied to such payments, even with respect to retroactive payments. Any such re-dollarization could negatively impact our cash flow and financial condition.

In September 2004, TermoAndes reached an agreement with YPF S.A., or YPF, the gas supplier that provides 50% of TermoAndes gas supply, which eliminates any historical take-or-pay obligations and adjusts future contractual gas quantities in a
manner that take-or-pay obligations with YPF should not have a negative impact on TermoAndes.
Additionally, in January 2005, TermoAndes reached an agreement with Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A., or TGN, its gas transportation service provider, which resolved all disputes existing among them in relation to the applicable currency and the
agreement has been submitted for approval to the Natural Gas Regulatory Agency in Argentina, or ENARGAS.

However, disputes remain with the other gas suppliers, Tecpetrol S.A., or Tecpetrol, Ledesma S.A.I.I., or Ledesma, Compañía General de Combustibles S.A., or CGC and Mobil Argentina S.A., or Mobil, and on January 30, 2004, TermoAndes
was notified that Tecpetrol, Mobil and CGC had filed a claim for arbitration at the International Chamber of Commerce, or the ICC, requesting the re-dollarization of the gas price, or conversion of the price back into U.S. dollars. TermoAndes
responded to this claim on March 10, 2004, which response included a counterclaim regarding the non-fulfillment by the suppliers of the most favored nation clause and the obligation to supply the contracted quantities, among other
claims. On May 12, 2004, the consortium responded to TermoAndes counterclaim. The case was submitted to the arbitration tribunal which together with the parties determined the terms of reference on November 26, 2004. The parties are currently
in the process of offering evidence.

On April 22, 2004, an agreement was entered into by the Secretary of Energy of Argentina and certain gas producers which applies systematic natural gas price increases from May 2004 to July 2005 to large consumers of natural gas and electric
generation plants that provide electricity to the domestic market. Pursuant to the agreement, an increase of 40% occurred in May 2004 and another increase of 18.33% occurred in October 2004. The resolution also provides for two additional 18.33%
increases in May 2005 and July 2005. TermoAndes is currently paying Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil in accordance with this price agreement.

We cannot assure you that TermoAndes gas supply payments to Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil will not be re-dollarized in the future or that the CER will not be applied to such payments, even with respect to retroactive payments. Although
TermoAndes has made a provision for payment of the CER corresponding to its gas supply from January 1, 2004, any such re-dollarization could negatively impact our cash flow and financial condition.

Our business may be affected by the interruption of TermoAndes natural gas supply.

Table of Contents

Our subsidiary, TermoAndes, utilizes natural gas produced in Argentina in its Salta power facility to produce electricity which is currently exported to Chile. As a result of TermoAndes disputes with natural gas suppliers described above and
the measures adopted by the Argentine government in 2004 to ensure the domestic supply of natural gas which applied restrictions to the supply of natural gas for electricity generated for export, TermoAndes generation has been directly
affected. See Risk Factors Related to Our Chilean Operations and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsTrend Information.

On June 17, 2004, the Secretary of Energy issued Resolution 659/04 which approved the Complementary Supply Program for the Domestic Natural Gas Market. Resolution 659/04 established a new methodology for determining natural gas
sales into the domestic market based on each producers level of committed supply to Argentine consumers. It also implemented additional restrictions for natural gas exporters in Argentinas Northern Basin which the Argentine Secretary of
Energy applied to restrict TermoAndes gas supplies. As a result, TermoAndes traditional gas supplies were reduced, causing occasional reductions in electricity generation. TermoAndes partially covered this deficit through short-term
contracts and spot purchases, although at times during 2004 it was forced to reduce its level of production. Additionally, TermoAndes commissioned the liquid fuel burning system of the facility, to permit operations to continue in the event of a gas
interruption, thereby preventing it from losing its capacity payments. Such measures have increased the costs of operating the facility, and may continue to do so in the future. Until the Argentine crisis is resolved, TermoAndes costs of
generation may remain at the current high levels or may even increase.

The future impact of the resolutions passed by the Argentine government and any additional measures implemented on electric generation companies supplying the Chilean market, including TermoAndes, is uncertain. Any additional interruptions and/or
reductions in the supply and transportation of natural gas in Argentina could negatively affect the operations of TermoAndes.

TermoAndes may have to pay for gas it may not be able to consume under its take-or-pay obligations.

TermoAndes has take-or-pay agreements with its Argentine natural gas suppliers that provide for payments of a certain minimum amount of gas, regardless of whether it is consumed. The gas that is purchased but not consumed may be consumed throughout
the term of the supply contract and two years beyond its termination. Since TermoAndes has been producing much less electricity than originally projected, it has also been consuming less gas and therefore accumulating volumes of gas that must be
paid for or consumed at a later date. The only way to increase the use of gas is by increasing electricity production, either by a higher level of dispatch in the SING or by selling electricity in Argentina. Even though TermoAndes has until December
2012 to consume its accumulated take-or-pay gas, TermoAndes may not be able to consume the full amount before such date, and therefore may not be able to use the gas for which it will be required to pay.

TermoAndes believes that the application of the most favored nation clause in the supply contract may substantially reduce or eliminate its take-or-pay obligations, and has consistently communicated this position to its gas suppliers.
The agreement reached with YPF on September 13, 2004 eliminates any historical take-or-pay obligations with this producer and adjusts future contractual gas quantities. However, we cannot assure you that TermoAndes will be successful in
renegotiating, reducing or eliminating its take-or-pay obligations with its other suppliers, including Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil. If TermoAndes is not successful in renegotiating, reducing or eliminating these take-or-pay obligations, it
will have a material adverse effect on its and our financial conditions or operations.

Argentina's tax regulations are susceptible to differing and changing interpretations as well as future modifications.

Argentine federal, provincial and other local authorities have interpreted some tax regulations differently from private companies and have also changed their interpretations over time. As a result of different tax interpretations, there was a
dispute between TermoAndes and the Argentine tax authority in the Salta province regarding the imposition of a stamp tax on a certain agreement, which was resolved in January 2003. We cannot assure you that there will not be other different
interpretations of the regulations in the future that could negatively affect our Argentinean Operations.

Until April 2002, no export taxes were applied to energy exports. In May 2002, a 5% export tax was imposed on all energy exports and an additional tax was imposed equal to Arg$3.80 per thousand cubic meters of natural gas consumed. We cannot assure
you that new taxes or contributions will not be created or that interpretations will not change that could materially adversely affect our financial condition and operations.

Risk Factors Related to Our Dominican Republic Operations

Deterioration in the financial conditions which affect the economy and electric sector in the Dominican Republic could adversely affect our Dominican Operations.

In 2003, the Dominican economy experienced declining economic growth and increasing devaluation and inflation as a consequence of a series of factors including the governments macroeconomic policies, a growing private sector tax burden and
increasing international fuel prices. The electric sector also experienced significant problems associated with this general economic downturn, such as tariff erosion, elevated energy losses, collection problems and insufficient service quality. In
the second half of 2004, the economy began to recover, primarily as a result of the strict monetary and fiscal policies applied by the new president from the Dominican Liberation Party, the party responsible for the privatization of the electric
sector in the Dominican Republic during the period 1996-2000, who took office in August 2004. In real terms, GDP grew by 2.2% in 2004, which contrasts with the decline in GDP of -1.9% in 2003. Additionally, in 2004, there were reductions in the rate
of inflation, foreign exchange rate, and interest rates. In particular, the new government is implementing a recovery plan to attempt to resolve many of the critical issues facing the electric sector. The plan includes measures to resolve operating
losses, implement regulatory improvements, introduce sustainable electricity tariffs, obtain multilateral financial support and improve quality of service, among others. We cannot assure you that the proposed measures will be implemented, or of the
success or timing related to any new policies. If measures enacted by the new government fail to revive the electricity sector in the Dominican Republic, our Dominican Republic operations and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Item 4. Information on the Company

A. History and Development of the Company

AES Gener S.A. is a sociedad anónima abierta, or an open stock corporation, organized under the laws of Chile by means of an escritura pública, or a public deed, dated June 19, 1981. Our by-laws were approved by the SVS
by Resolution No. 410-S dated July 17, 1981, published in the Official Gazette No. 31,023 on July 23, 1981, and recorded on Page 13,107, No. 7,274 of Santiago's Registry of Commerce in 1981. We changed our name from Chilgener S.A. to Gener S.A. on
March 27, 1998 and to AES Gener S.A. on September 4, 2001.

We trace our origin to Compañía Chilena de Electricidad S.A., which was formed in 1921, nationalized by the Chilean government in 1970 and operated as a government-owned electricity generation, transmission and distribution company
until 1981. The privatization of Compañía Chilena de Electricidad S.A. was completed in 1988, when it was divided into two distribution companies and one generation company, Chilectra Generación S.A., which changed its name to
Chilgener S.A. At that time, 100% of our share capital was held by the private sector.

Our registered address is Mariano Sánchez Fontecilla 310, 3rd Floor, Santiago, Chile, and our telephone number is (562) 686-8900.

We are the largest thermal generator and the second largest electricity generation company in Chile based on our operating revenue and generating capacity. As of December 31, 2004, we and our 50% owned equity-method investee, Guacolda, accounted
for approximately 19.2% of the installed capacity in the SIC, while in the SING, through our subsidiaries Norgener and TermoAndes, we accounted for approximately 25.6% of the installed capacity. During 2004, we also engaged, directly or through
subsidiaries and equity-method investees, in:

- electricity generation in Colombia and the Dominican Republic;
- coal mining in Colombia (until August 2004); and
- natural gas transportation in Chile and Argentina.

As of December 31, 2004, our consolidated total assets were Ch$1,448,815 million (approximately US$2,599 million). In 2004, we reported consolidated operating income of Ch$109,778 million (approximately US$196.9 million) and consolidated net income
of Ch$39,454 million (approximately US$70.8 million).

Our Acquisition by The AES Corporation

On November 3, 2000, The AES Corporation, through its subsidiary Inversiones Cachagua Limitada, or Cachagua, announced a tender offer for cash for 61.57% of our outstanding shares in Chile, as well as an exchange tender offer of all of our American
Depositary Shares, or ADSs, for The AES Corporation's shares. The purchase price for the offer was US$16.50 per ADS, or its equivalent in Chilean pesos per common share.

On November 28, 2000, The AES Corporation entered into an agreement with Total Fina Elf S.A., or Total, pursuant to which The AES Corporation agreed to cause us to sell to Total all of our Argentine assets and certain other interests for a total of
US$657.5 million, if The AES Corporation succeeded in its tender offer.

On December 28, 2000, The AES Corporation acquired 61.11% of our total capital for the Chilean peso equivalent of US$841.2 million and effectively assumed control of us. On January 9, 2001, The AES Corporation acquired an additional 34.56% of us
for a total purchase price of US$475.6 million in the form of The AES Corporation's common stock. On February 28, 2001, The AES Corporation acquired 2.87% of us for a total purchase price of US$38 million by purchasing our shares on the Santiago
Stock Exchange. In December 2001, The AES Corporation acquired an additional 0.11% of our shares for a purchase price of US$1.2 million. At that time, the total aggregate value for the acquisition of 98.65% of AES Gener was US$1,356 million.

On March 2, 2001, we provided Total with an option to purchase all of our Argentinean Operations, which, as of March 2, 2001, included Hidroneuquén S.A., or Hidroneuquén, InterAndes, TermoAndes, Central Puerto S.A., or Central Puerto,
and certain of our minor projects in Argentina. Under the terms of the agreement, Total or any of its subsidiaries could purchase any combination of the companies. On July 27, 2001, Total exercised its option to buy our 63.94% interest in Central
Puerto for approximately US$255 million in cash. On September 21, 2001, Total exercised its option to buy our 70.02% interest in Hidroneuquén for approximately US$72.45 million in cash. On November 1, 2001, however, Total declined to exercise
its option to buy our ownership interest in TermoAndes and InterAndes.

On June 19, 2004, in connection with our recent debt restructuring plan, we completed a capital increase represented by a total of 714,084,243 shares of common stock totaling Ch$62,268 million (the equivalent of US$98 million at the time the
capital increase transactions occurred). Pursuant to the capital increase, Cachagua subscribed to 713,000,000 shares of our common stock on May 20, 2004, increasing its ownership from 98.65% to 98.79% . Therefore, The AES Corporation is currently
the owner of 98.79% of our total capital through Cachagua.

Capital Investments

We continually review opportunities for improving our production methods and developing new plants and markets. We intend to continue to make capital expenditures to meet expected increased demand for electricity in Chile, our principal market.
Over the past three years, our capital expenditures amounted to US$7.6 million in 2002, US$5.4 million in 2003 and US$14.0 million in 2004.

In 2002, our principal capital expenditures were related to the completion of a gas turbine project by Energía Verde, transmission line investments and business development projects, and in 2003, our capital expenditures were related to the
minor maintenance of certain of our generation units, including Chivor. The increase in capital expenditures recorded in 2004 is associated with various maintenance activities, principally at TermoAndes Salta plant which conducted its first
major gas turbine maintenance at 30,000 Equivalent Operating Hours. Additionally, our 2004 capital expenditures include maintenance related costs for our Ventanas and Nueva Renca plants in Chile and parts and general maintenance at our Chivor
hydroelectric facility in Colombia. Our budget projections include capital expenditures of US$17.3 million in 2005 and US$12.5 million in 2006, exclusive of expansion projects. The principal expenditures in both periods are related to the
continuation of TermoAndes scheduled maintenance plan.

We believe that energy demand in Chile will continue to grow at a rate exceeding the growth rate of Chiles gross domestic product and our expansion strategy is based on this expected demand growth. Notwithstanding the recent Argentine gas
supply disruptions in Chile, discussed in Item 3. Key Information Risk FactorsRisk Factors Related to Our Chilean

Table of Contents

Operations and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects Trend Information, our long-term view is that efficient thermal capacity additions will be an important part of the solution to Chiles growing energy needs.
Accordingly, we plan to take advantage of the expertise we have acquired in Chile as the largest thermoelectric and most diversified energy producer to develop new generation projects in the future, utilizing our experience in developing and
operating gas, coal and hydro-power plants.

We are currently evaluating a wide variety of growth alternatives in the SIC. Because of the robust electricity demand growth in the SIC, we believe that the feasible alternatives for the next power plant installed in this system are relatively
limited due to the short time period in which the capacity would need to be brought online to meet this demand. We are therefore actively reviewing projects that could be developed in the shortest period of time such as the installation of backup
gas turbines. In the long term, we believe that all existing cost-efficient technologies such as gas, coal and hydro are viable in our competitive market. We will continue to evaluate projects of diverse technologies to meet demand and capitalize on
our expertise, including those technologies that may be developed in response to the Argentine gas crisis. Our long-term projects in the SIC include:

- a 250 MW coal plant;
- a 500 MW hydroelectric plant;
- three natural gas-fired combined cycle plants with installed capacity between 370 MW and 390 MW, for which we have submitted separate environmental impact studies to the authorities;
- a transmission line which connects the SIC with the Argentine interconnected system, the Sistema Argentino de Interconección, or SADI; and
- conversion of our subsidiary Eléctrica Santiagos existing Renca power plant in the city of Santiago from a steam turbine that burns diesel oil into a combined-cycle plant that burns natural gas, thereby increasing the plants
capacity from 100 MW to approximately 240 MW.

Our maintenance capital expenditures that are currently in progress will be financed with our operating cash flow, while external financing as well as operating cash flow will be utilized for future capacity expansions, including those mentioned
above.

Divestitures

During 2001, we divested our interests in Central Puerto and Hidroneuquén in Argentina as well as our remaining 50% interest in Merchant Energy Group of the Americas Inc., or MEGA, and our shipping and port services investments in Chile,
which included our 69.87% interest in Puerto Ventanas S.A, our 26.02% interest in Compañía Chilena de Navegación Interoceánica, our 21.18% interest in Portuaria Cabo Froward S.A. and our 26.70% interest in Agencias
Universales S.A.

In 2002, we divested our 100% interest in OilGener Argentina Ltd., the assets of OilGener Inc. (USA) and the Fell Block (an oil and natural gas concession granted for the Fell Block area in southern Chile), our 51% interest in Explotaciones
Sanitarias S.A., our 51% interest in Ecogener S.A. and our 40% interest in SIGEN S.A. (a joint venture with General Electric International Benelux B.V.).

In 2004, we sold Carbones del César, a coal mine located in Colombia, for US$5 million, and recorded a net gain of US$2.1 million due to the carrying value of this asset. Additionally, in September 2004, we transferred the Nacimiento plant,
previously owned by Energía Verde, to one of our customers, Empresas CMPC S.A., in exchange for payment of US$16.7 million. We recorded net income of US$5.6 million as a result of this sale.

With regard to potential divestitures, although discussions were held to sell our 25% interest in the Itabo generation facility and our 13% interest in GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina during 2003, no agreements were reached and further
discussions have not been held. However, consistent with our interest to divest non-core operations and business lines, these assets continue to be potential future sale candidates. We do not believe that these potential divestitures will have a
material effect on our long term results of operations or financial condition.

B. Business Overview

Electricity Generation

Chile

AES Gener and Guacolda provide electricity to the largest interconnected system in Chile, the SIC, which serves central Chile from Rada Paposo in the north (Chile's Second Region) to Isla Grande de Chiloé in the south (Chile's Tenth Region).
More than 90% of the country's population lives in this region, which includes the densely populated Santiago Metropolitan Region. We also provide electricity to the SING, the interconnected system that serves the northern part of the country from
Tarapacá (Chile's First Region) to Antofagasta (Chile's Second Region). Mining industry consumption prevails over residential consumption in this region, and thermoelectric facilities accounted for 99.6% of the region's nominal generation
capacity in 2004. The following table provides further information about the two major electric systems operating in Chile:

Demand for electrical energy in Chile's two major power grids grew in 2004 by 7.8% in the SIC and 7.2% in the SING. In comparison, Chile's gross domestic product increased by an estimated 6.1% in real terms in 2004 which is higher than the growth
of 3.2% experienced in 2003. Our management believes that energy demand in Chile will continue to grow for the foreseeable future at an annual rate that exceeds the annual rate of growth in Chile's gross domestic product, which is also in accordance
with the Chilean National Energy Commission forecast.

Our generation capacity in the SIC is comprised of hydroelectric, combined-cycle, coal, peaking diesel and biomass facilities, and, accordingly, our plants are well distributed across the dispatch curve. This distribution allows us to operate our
facilities competitively in a variety of hydrological and pricing conditions, and to effectively manage our contractual obligations with limited exposure to the spot market.

AES Gener and Guacolda had 1,789 MW of nominal capacity in Chile as of December 31, 2004, which consisted of:

- 1,518 MW of primarily thermoelectric capacity, comprised of 974 MW of coal-fired capacity, 379 MW of combined-cycle capacity, 21 MW of forestry waste cogeneration capacity (3.8 MW of which

produces steam and not electricity) and 144 MW of gas/oil turbine-fired capacity; and

- 271 MW of run-of-the-river hydroelectric capacity.

Additionally, AES Gener has 642.8 MW of nominal capacity at its TermoAndes facility, a combined-cycle natural gas-fired plant located in the province of Salta, Argentina, which is connected by a 345 kV transmission line to the SING. This plant
began commercial operations on April 13, 2000.

In order to take advantage of expected growth in electricity demand, we plan to increase our generation capacity in the SIC through the construction of new facilities. See "History and Development of the CompanyCapital Investments", for
further details.

Colombia

We began operations in Colombia in December 1996 when we purchased the Chivor hydroelectric power plant pursuant to a Colombian government plan to privatize power generation assets. Chivor is the fourth largest power generator in Colombia and owns
the third largest Colombian hydroelectric facility in terms of installed capacity. The Chivor facility has 1,000 MW of installed generating capacity, representing approximately 7.5% of the countrys total capacity at the end of 2004, and is
located approximately 160 km east of Bogotá on the Batá River. The facility consists of a powerhouse with eight 125 MW generating units, a reservoir and two tunnels. One sub-facility, with 500 MW installed capacity, initiated
operations in 1977, while a second sub-facility was operational by 1982.

The Colombian electricity sector is currently comprised of 58 electricity generation companies, 11 national transmission companies, 31 local and regional distribution companies and 99 licensed electricity traders. As of
December 31, 2004, Colombias Sistema Interconectado Nacional Colombiano, the National Interconnected System, or the SIN, had a total installed capacity of approximately 13,398 MW, of which approximately 70% was hydroelectric power and
30% was thermal power. Energy consumption in Colombia grew 140% from 19,553 GWh in 1980 to 47,019 GWh in 2004. Maximum registered demand, or peak demand, for electric energy was 8,832 MW as of December 31, 2004.

The following table shows energy demand growth for the periods indicated:

Argentina

Our electricity investments in Argentina consist of the TermoAndes generation plant in the province of Salta and the InterAndes transmission line, which delivers electricity produced by TermoAndes to the SING. The Argentine portion of the
transmission line is currently owned by InterAndes, our wholly owned Argentine subsidiary. The Chilean portion of the line is directly owned by AES Gener S.A.

The Dominican Republic

On May 13, 1999, a consortium comprised of AES Gener and an affiliate of Coastal Corporation of the United States was the successful bidder for a 50% interest in Itabo, a company formed as part of the Dominican Republic's program to privatize its
electricity sector. Itabo owns six thermoelectric generation facilities, which include a total of 13 units located near Santo Domingo, with approximately 586.5 MW of nominal capacity. However, of the facility's 13 units, only seven, with
approximately 432.5 MW of nominal capacity, are currently in commercial operation. The other units have been decommissioned based on their low levels of efficiency. During 2003, discussions were held with interested parties for the sale of this
asset; however, no agreements were reached.

We also have ownership interests in other non-electricity businesses, principally related to fuels. We are the largest distributor of coal in Chile and also participate in the Chilean natural gas industry through our 13% ownership interest in each of
GasAndes Argentina and GasAndes Chile, which transport natural gas through a pipeline from the Province of Mendoza in Argentina to the Santiago Metropolitan Region in Chile. We have held discussions with interested parties regarding the sale of GasAndes
Argentina and GasAndes Chile, which are non-core businesses; however, no agreements have been reached.

Principal Market Revenues

Our principal market is the electricity generation market in Chile, which in 2002, 2003 and 2004 accounted for 68%, 70% and 72% of our operating revenues, respectively. Although our TermoAndes facility is located in Argentina, the electricity
generated by this plant is sold in the SING in Chile and, therefore, is registered in the Chilean market and considered to be a part of our Chilean operations. In addition, the revenue contribution made by our Colombian subsidiary Chivor accounted
for 22%, 22% and 19% of our operating revenues in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Our non-electric, or other business operations, primarily fuel sales, represented 10%, 8% and 9% of our operating revenues in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The
table below details the revenue contribution by market segment in 2002, 2003 and 2004 in constant pesos of December 31, 2004 purchasing power.

Seasonal Business Variations

Our operating income is less affected by seasonal demand variations resulting from pronounced changes in temperature than the operating income of electricity generation companies in the United States. For example, in the SING, there are no
significant seasonal cycles that affect the supply or demand of electricity. Nevertheless, the demand in the SIC is subject to seasonal variations due to higher consumption of electricity during the winter from May to August, by residential
consumers in general. Approximately 50% of our operating revenue in 2004 was generated in the SIC, and approximately 68% of the consumption in the SIC is classified as residential. Residential customers are characterized by having a low-load factor
and a continuous growth curve. Load factor is the consumption ratio with respect to nominal capacity. Consumption of electricity by industrial customers in the SIC presents little seasonal variation, and growth in this customer class depends
principally on the development of new industrial projects.

The impact of seasonal variations is more significant with regard to supply in the SIC, given that approximately 60% of the SIC's nominal capacity comes from hydroelectric plants that depend on inflow from rainfall, melting snow or both.
Hydroelectric plants that depend on rainfall inflow generate more electricity in winter months, while those plants that depend on snow melt-off generate at higher levels in the spring and early summer, usually between September and January, as a
result of warmer temperatures melting the snow that accumulated in the mountains throughout the winter. The rest of the SIC's power plants, namely thermoelectric facilities fueled by natural gas, coal and diesel oil, experience higher or lower
levels of generation based on the seasonal operation of the hydroelectric facilities, as well as the particular hydrological conditions in any given year.

In Colombia, the impact of hydro inflow variations is also significant with regard to supply in the SIN, given that approximately 70% of the SIN's nominal capacity comes from hydroelectric plants that are dependent on rainfall. Colombia has an
equatorial climate and does not have dramatic seasonal changes except those caused by E1 Niñoand La Niña.The El Niñoweather phenomenon has drastic effects on the countrys Andean region, causing low
rainfall levels during its occurrence. When the "El Niño" weather phenomenon is present, dry conditions are more pronounced because water inflows decrease and spot market prices significantly increase. By contrast, the La
Niñaphenomenon, which usually follows El Niño,

usually causes higher rainfall levels in the Andean region. However, the hydrology in Chivors region typically remains normal duringLa Niña.

Fuel Supply

Approximately 88% of our capacity used to supply the SIC and SING markets in Chile, including our participation in equity-method investees, is thermoelectric capacity that is fueled by natural gas, coal and diesel oil or other kinds of petroleum
derivatives. Additionally, coal is purchased internationally as the primary fuel for several of our equity-method investees' plants. During 2004, we were the largest coal importer in Chile, which position enables us to negotiate attractive prices
and directly arrange coal transportation and delivery. We have taken advantage of our position in the Chilean coal market by selling coal to third parties and to our 50% equity-method investee, Guacolda. During 2004, AES Gener purchased its coal
requirements from producers in Colombia (46%), Indonesia (31%), New Zealand (11%), Australia (8%) and Canada (4%). Our peaking plants, plants which are typically only dispatched in order to meet system demand during high consumption periods, utilize
petroleum-based fuels such as diesel oil. Itabo, our 25% equity-method investee located in the Dominican Republic, also purchases fossil fuels, which include coal, fuel oil No. 2 and fuel oil No. 6, from international suppliers.

Significant variations in the market prices for these fuels could lead to higher operating costs that could adversely affect our operations in the short term. However, all of these fuels are purchased under market conditions similar to those that
affect our competitors, and under the marginal cost regulatory framework that is in effect in the SIC and the SING, permanent variations should eventually be incorporated into the price of electricity. The international price of the coal consumed by
our power plants continued to increase steadily during the first half of 2004, reaching a maximum high in June 2004, which was approximately 100% higher than the price registered in December 2003 and almost 200% higher than the price recorded at the
end of 2002. During the second half of 2004, coal prices began a gradual decline and by the end of the year, they had dropped to a level 45% higher than at the close of the previous year. Additionally, the price of diesel oil, the fuel used for our
peaking turbines and the only alternative fuel for our combined cycle plants, also increased in 2004, in accordance with the international increase in the price of oil, and we expect the current price level to be maintained at least for the next 12
months.

Argentine natural gas is purchased under long-term market-based contracts for Eléctrica Santiago and TermoAndes combined-cycle units. Since March 2004, the Argentine government has enacted certain measures restricting the supply of
natural gas for export and the supply of natural gas used in the generation of electricity for export which resulted in temporary suspension of supplies to our plants and occasional reductions in our electric generation. These partial reductions in
the supply of natural gas to Eléctrica Santiago in 2004 forced it to reduce its output, as well as to generate with diesel oil as a substitute for natural gas, sharply increasing its cost of production. Additionally, the prices paid by
TermoAndes for natural gas will be higher in the future as a result of the regulatory changes in Argentina and the contract disputes related to such changes. In April 2004, the Argentine government enacted regulations that apply systematic natural
gas price increases, from May 2004 to July 2005, to certain customers in the domestic market. In June 2004, TermoAndes notified its gas suppliers that it would increase payments for natural gas to reflect the new price of gas as defined by the new
resolution. See Item 3.Risk FactorsRisk Factors related to Our Chilean Operations and Risk Factors related to Our Argentinean Operations and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsTrend
Information for additional information.

Strategy

Our historic business strategy has been to focus on the development of efficient electricity generation in Chile. In the 1990s we expanded this strategy to take advantage of electricity generation opportunities presented by privatization activities
in other Latin American countries, as well as opportunities in other non-electricity businesses, such as fuels and infrastructure. In December 2000, The AES Corporation acquired a controlling interest in AES Gener. As a result of The AES
Corporations involvement we returned our focus to our core business activity, principally electricity generation in Chile, as demonstrated by the divestitures that we have made since 2001. Consistent with this focus and with the successful
completion of our debt restructuring plan in the first half of 2004 (see "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsBalance Sheet Restructuring"), our strategy is to expand our electricity generating capacity in the SIC and refinance
certain outstanding debt agreements.

Expanding Our Electricity Generating Capacity in the SIC.As discussed above under "History and Development of the CompanyCapital Investments", in order to take advantage of expected growth in electricity demand, we plan to
increase our generation capacity in the SIC with the execution of new development projects.

Refinance outstanding debt.Our debt restructuring plan, which was completed in 2004, reduced our outstanding indebtedness, extended the maturity dates of our long-term indebtedness and significantly increased our operating and financial flexibility.
In 2005, we plan to continue to pursue opportunities to enhance our operating and financial flexibility as well as our ability to generate cash flow for the upcoming years. In 2005, we have plans to refinance the US$55 million outstanding balance of our Yankee notes
which come due in January 2006, AES Geners US$ 75.6 million syndicated bank loan due in 2010 and Norgeners US$29 million bank credit due in 2009.

Operational Structure

In 2002, our operational structure was modified to improve administrative efficiency. In October 2002, a functional operational structure was adopted and remains in place, with the following divisions reporting to our Chief Executive Officer:

- Finance and Administration;
- Commercial;
- Regulation and Development;
- Operations;
- Legal; and
- Communications.

This restructuring at the executive level was accomplished with existing personnel and did not result in a material reduction in personnel or the incurrence of restructuring charges.

Electricity Generation Facilities

The following table provides information about each of our existing electricity generation facilities, including those of our subsidiaries and equity-method investees. All of these facilities are currently in operating condition and available for
dispatch, with the exception of six of Itabo's generation units (Santo Domingo V and VIII, Los Mina I and II and Timbeque I and II), representing approximately 150 MW of nominal capacity, which were removed from commercial operation in 2002.

Electricity Generation in Chile

Our core business is our operation in the Chilean electricity generation industry. AES Gener and Guacolda, our 50% owned equity-method investee, own and operate 17 generation facilities in Chile, with an aggregate nominal capacity of 1,789 MW,
which as of December 31, 2004, consisted of:

- 1,518 MW of primarily thermoelectric capacity, comprised of 974 MW of coal-fired capacity, 379 MW of combined-cycle capacity, 21 MW of forestry waste cogeneration capacity (3.8 MW of which produces steam and not electricity) and 144 MW of gas/oil
turbine-fired capacity; and
- 271 MW of run-of-the-river hydroelectric capacity.

AES Gener and Guacolda's aggregate electricity production, including TermoAndes' production that is sold in the SING, was 9,006 GWh in 2003 and 9,701 GWh in 2004. In both periods, our production represented approximately 20% of all electricity
produced in Chile.

Our Sales Strategy in Chile

Sales contract decisions regarding the amount of current and future production that should be committed to long-term contracts, either at regulated or unregulated prices, and the amount of production that should be left uncommitted to be sold at
spot prices,
are critical to our profitability. The desired level of contractual commitments is one that permits us to take

advantage of a low marginal cost environment and still maintain profitability in a high-marginal cost environment. In order to determine the appropriate level of contractual commitments to maximize profits with limited risk, we estimate demand based on
standard economic theory and estimate node prices and system marginal cost using dynamic programming models. Historically, this strategy has led us to enter into long-term contracts for our most efficient units and to reserve our less efficient units for sales
in the spot market; however, in recent years, our contract volume commitments have been increasing, while our nominal capacity has remained unchanged. Accordingly, in the case of a dry year, we may be adversely affected, as we would have to either generate
or buy electricity in the spot market at higher prices in order to fulfill our commitments.

Since we plan to increase our nominal generating capacity in the SIC, (See "History and Development of the CompanyCapital Investments") we intend to increase our long-term contractual commitments to supply electricity in line with our
planned capacity increases. This will reduce the risk of excess capacity in the SIC caused by the construction of additional generating plants, hedge against the decline in electricity prices that has resulted from the introduction of combined-cycle
natural gas-fired plants in the SIC, minimize our exposure to significant changes in hydrological conditions and stabilize our level of cash flow. In addition, we plan to maintain our coal-fired thermoelectric plants, which have higher operating
costs, for sales to the spot market in periods of low water conditions and/or high demand when the system marginal cost generally exceeds the node price.

Regulated Sales in the SIC and the SING.Our largest regulated customers in Chile are two distribution companies operating in the SIC, Chilectra S.A., or Chilectra, and Chilquinta Energía S.A., or Chilquinta. In 2004, Chilectra
accounted for 38% of our total energy sales in Chile (including sales made by AES Gener S.A., Eléctrica Santiago, Energía Verde and Norgener in the SIC and the SING) and 25% of our consolidated operating revenue. In 2004, Chilquinta
accounted for 15% of our total energy sales in Chile and 13% of our consolidated operating revenue.

During 2004, we supplied Chilectra with an estimated 526 MW of capacity and 3,856 GWh of energy. Pursuant to a contract entered into between Chilectra and us on January 31, 1996, we have agreed to supply Chilectra's demand until 2010. We also
supplied Chilquinta with an estimated 248 MW of capacity and 1,499 GWh of energy. We entered into our current capacity and energy contract with Chilquinta in January 1986. The contract was originally for a five-year term but was renewed in July
1990, May 1994 and in September 1998, for an additional term expiring on April 30, 2010. Under the terms of the contract, Chilquinta is required to pay for the capacity or energy that it actually uses. In addition to these regulated contracts,
during 2004, AES Gener supplied Río Maipo with an estimated 3 MW of capacity and 25 GWh of energy. We entered into our current contract with Río Maipo in January 1991, which expires in March 2006.

During 2004, we supplied SAESA, SOCOEPA and CODINER, other distribution companies in the SIC, with an aggregate of 15 MW of capacity and 89 GWh of energy. Although we have not entered into supply agreements with these companies, pursuant to
Resolution No. 88, AES Gener and all other electricity generators in the SIC are required to provide power to distribution companies in the SIC if such companies are unable to freely contract for adequate power to meet their customers' needs. We
supplied electricity to these distribution companies in 2004 pursuant to this requirement.

Our equity-method investee, Guacolda, has a contract with Empresa Eléctrica de Coquimbo S.A., or EMEC, a distribution company in Chile's Fourth Region, which is located north of the Santiago Metropolitan Region. During 2004, Guacolda sold
847 GWh to EMEC, representing approximately 36% of Guacolda's total sales. The Fourth Region is becoming an increasingly important source of electricity demand in the SIC resulting from growth in the Chilean tourism industry. This contract expires
in October 2015.

Unregulated Sales in the SIC and the SING.Prices of sales to unregulated customers (principally large industrial companies and other generation companies) are negotiated directly between the parties. We continue to focus on sales to
different customers in order to stabilize revenues. Unregulated customers are generally stable customers that require large volumes of electricity with low seasonal variation in demand. The majority of our contracts with unregulated customers
require them to pay for only the energy that they actually use.

In the SIC, in August 1994, AES Gener S.A. signed a ten-year contract with Compañía Minera Disputada de Las Condes S.A., or Disputada, a copper mining company, which contract was transferred to our 90% owned subsidiary
Eléctrica Santiago in January 2003 and expired in March 2005. In 2004, total energy sales to Disputada amounted to 266 GWh. AES Gener S.A. also sells electricity under a contract with Cemento Polpaico S.A., a cement company which consumed 180
GWh in 2004. This contract was scheduled to expire in April 2004 but was renewed and now expires in March 2010. During 2004, Eléctrica Santiago also had contracts with two large unregulated customers, Codelco-Chile, División Andina
(Andina) and Empresa Nacional de Minería-Ventanas (ENAMI). In 2004, energy sales to Andina and ENAMI were 357 GWh and 308 GWh,

respectively. The contract with Andina expired in March 2005 and the contract with ENAMI is scheduled to expire in December 2005. Guacolda also has several contracts with unregulated customers, including a long term contract expiring in 2012 with
the mining company Candelaria, to which it supplied 626 GWh during 2004. In 2004, our total unregulated sales in the SIC, together with sales made by Guacolda, totaled 2,846 GWh.

In the SING, we entered into supply contracts during 1996 with two mining companies, Compañía Minera Zaldívar S.A., or Zaldívar, and Compañía Minera Lomas Bayas S.A., or Lomas Bayas, for a total of 110 MW of capacity and a minimum term of 12 years.
Energy under both contracts is being supplied by TermoAndes Salta power plant. Total consumption under the two contracts totaled 718 GWh during 2004. In 1993 and 1994, Norgener entered into two
supply contracts for up to 172 MW of capacity with Escondida, which operates one of the largest copper mines in the world and is our largest customer in the SING. The first contract for 110 MW could not be terminated before 2007 and the second for
62 MW could not be terminated before 2008. On February 23, 2004, Norgener and Escondida entered into an agreement that consists of:

- a decrease in price for both supply contracts effective July 2004 and an up-front cash payment to us of US$40 million,
- the extension of the current contracts for an amount covering 172 MW until 2015, and
- the execution of a new contract for 80 MW beginning 2004 and expiring in 2015.

This agreement was approved by both our board of directors and Escondidas board of directors. In 2004, we supplied an estimated 1,347 GWh to Escondida, which represented 93% of Norgeners total energy sales and 13% of our total energy
sales in Chile. Norgener also has two long term contracts with SQM Nitratos and SQM Salar, which expire in 2013 and 2017, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, SQM Nitratos may purchase up to 10 MW of capacity and SQM Salar may purchase
up to 18 MW. During 2004, Norgener supplied an estimated total of 102 GWh to these companies.

Spot Sales to and Purchases from Other Generators.In the SIC, we become a spot purchaser of electricity from other generation companies during relatively wet years that result in high hydro conditions and lower marginal costs. Our spot
purchases of electricity decline in periods of low hydro conditions. Our spot market purchases increased from 1,831 GWh in 2003 to 1,860 GWh in 2004 principally as a result of the Argentine natural gas interruptions which reduced generation from
Eléctrica Santiagos combined-cycle plant.

Similarly, temporary interruptions in the supply of natural gas to TermoAndes combined-cycle plant in the SING also led to a reduction in our sales to the spot market which decreased from 1,089 GWh in 2003 to 1,050 GWh in 2004, respectively.
Our subsidiary Norgener also purchased less on the spot market than in previous years due to its higher level of production. In 2004, Norgeners two coal units were dispatched to compensate for the interruption of other natural gas-fired
plants, decreasing its net purchases, on a consolidated basis, from 1,271 GWh in 2003 to 724 GWh in 2004.

Chile's Planned Electricity Generating Plant Expansion

The Chilean National Energy Commission, or NEC, periodically prepares projections of electricity supply and demand in the SIC and the SING. In addition, the NEC prepares a ten-year indicative plan for the construction of new energy projects, both
generation and transmission, designed to minimize the cost to supply the electricity required to meet projected demand in the SIC and the SING. The NEC receives information about plants and transmission facilities under construction from generation
and transmission companies, which it includes in its indicative plan. The NEC cannot prevent a generation company from building a new plant that is not included in the indicative plan or from completing construction of a new plant ahead of schedule.
If the aggregate capacity of all projects submitted to the NEC is insufficient to meet the NECs projected electricity demand, the NEC will include the construction of plants that have not been proposed by any generation company in its plan.

The following table shows the anticipated schedule for the construction of new generating plants in Chile for 2005-2014, based on the NECs most recent ten-year indicative plan for the SIC, which was issued in April 2005. Given the current
excess capacity in the SING, an indicative plan is not currently established. References to a particular sponsor mean under construction otherwise, TBD refers to plants that have been proposed by the NEC but
have not been adopted by any generation company.

During 2004, several plants entered into operation in the SIC with a total nominal capacity of 871 MW, increasing the total nominal capacity available in the SIC by 12.5% when compared to 2003. As discussed above, we are actively reviewing both
near-term and long-term projects of diverse technologies such as gas, coal and hydro facilities and plan to increase our generation capacity in the SIC. See "Capital Investments" for further details. The construction of these projects may be
affected by changes in demand for electricity in Chile and the construction plans of other generating companies.

Electricity Generation in Colombia

Chivor's main facilities consists of a powerhouse with eight 125 MW generating units, a reservoir and two tunnels. The eight generating units are distributed among two sub-facilities, known as "Chivor I" and "Chivor II," with four generating units
each, which sub-facilities may each function on a stand-alone basis as a separate power plant. A maximum capacity of 591 million cubic meters of water is available for energy generation in the reservoir, an amount that corresponds to approximately
1,126 GWh. Our other fixed assets include spillways, two river diversion structures, surge tanks, certain equipment, land and buildings. Chivor I has been operating since 1977 and Chivor II began operations in 1982. The plant's availability averaged
92.5% during the 1997-2004 period. Forced non-availability, which is, interruptions for unscheduled maintenance or repair, averaged 0.61% during the 1997-2004 period. The following table provides information regarding Chivors electricity
generation, sales and purchases during the last three years:

Chivor currently derives substantially all of its revenues from the wholesale energy market through: energy supply agreement sales, spot market sales, capacity charge payments and ancillary services. The company contracts a significant portion of
its generation primarily to distribution companies through energy supply agreements with one to two year terms and seeks to sell its remaining generation in the spot market. Capacity charge payments are certain fixed payments that generators are
entitled to receive from the SIN as remuneration for the firm capacity allocated to us by the governmental entity that regulates the energy and gas industries in Colombia the Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission, or the CREG. These monthly
payments are linked to the U.S. dollar. Our compliance with certain technical criteria also enables us to sell ancillary services, such as automatic generation control ("AGC") services.

Electricity Generation in Argentina

Our electricity investments in Argentina consist of the TermoAndes generation plant in the province of Salta, a 642.7 MW natural gas-fired facility, and the InterAndes transmission line, a 345 kV transmission line which extends 280 km from the
TermoAndes plant in Argentina to the Chilean border. The Argentine portion of the transmission line is owned by InterAndes, our wholly owned Argentine subsidiary, and the Chilean portion of the line is directly owned by AES Gener.

While this project was primarily designed to supply electricity to the SING, the construction of two unaffiliated natural gas pipelines that connect northern Argentina with northern Chile and their related new generation plants has led to an
oversupply of electricity in the system. In addition, in 2000 and 2001, we invested US$15 million in additional infrastructure to permit the sale of excess energy into the Argentine system. In August 2002, Argentinas electric regulatory
agency, ENRE, authorized TermoAndes to connect 203 MW (approximately 32% of its nominal capacity) to the national grid. However, no further investments were made and the interconnection has not been completed due to the economic instability in
Argentina.

The CDEC-SING has the authority to set the maximum level of dispatch for each independent unit in the SING between 150 MW and 270 MW. While this limit for combined-cycle plants, such as the TermoAndes plant, had previously been set at 180 MW, it
has gradually increased to the current level of 250 MW during peak hours. This measure is part of the Short-Term Operational Reliability Plan adopted by the CDEC-SING in order to minimize the risk of energy outages in the SING, which in
the past have been affected by blackouts sanctioned by regulatory authorities.

In January 1997, we entered into a power purchase agreement with TermoAndes, which was modified on June 26, 1998 and on July 28, 2004, pursuant to which we currently purchase 100% of TermoAndes electrical capacity and energy on the basis of a
variable energy payment in accordance with the energy effectively delivered by TermoAndes, plus a fixed transmission and maintenance charge. We have entered into long term supply contracts with two mining companies in the SING, Zaldívar and
Lomas Bayas, for a total of 110 MW of the capacity that is being supplied by TermoAndes. During 2004, we supplied these customers with a total of approximately 718 GWh.

Electricity Generation in the Dominican Republic

On May 13, 1999, a consortium composed of AES Gener and an affiliate of Coastal Corporation of the United States was the successful bidder for a 50% interest in Itabo, a company formed as part of the Dominican Republic's program to privatize its
electricity sector. Currently, the ownership of Itabo is comprised of AES Gener with a 25.01% interest, Coastal Itabo Ltd., a subsidiary of El Paso Energy International, with 24.99%, the Dominican Republic government with 49.98% and employees of the
former state-owned company owning the remaining 0.02% . AES Gener has the right to designate the president

and a majority of the directors of the holding company formed to own the consortium's investment in Itabo. For certain significant actions, the approval of both members of the consortium is required.

As part of our efforts to focus on our core business in Chile, discussions were held with interested parties for the sale of this asset during 2003; however, no agreements were reached.

Itabo owns six thermoelectric generation facilities located near Santo Domingo with approximately 586.5 MW of nominal capacity, but of the facility's 13 units, only seven with approximately 432.5 MW of nominal capacity are currently in commercial operation.
Itabo removed the other six generation units (Santo Domingo V and VIII, Los Mina I and II and Timbeque I and II), representing approximately 150 MW in nominal capacity, from commercial operation in 2002. Two of these units are steam
units, and the remaining four are gas turbine units. The decommissioned facilities are older, inefficient units with low production and dispatch levels and received low firm capacity remunerations that did not contribute to Itabo's commercial
margin.

Itabo holds contracts for 200 MW of capacity with Empresa Distribuidora del Sur and Empresa Distribuidora del Norte, which the government acquired in 2003 from Union Fenosa. Additionally, Itabo has 100 MW of capacity contracted with Empresa
Distribuidora del Este, a subsidiary of The AES Corporation. In October 2001, Itabo and these three distribution companies extended the terms of their original agreements from five to 15 years. The agreements now expire in July 2016. Additionally,
in 2004, Itabo renewed an agreement with an industrial client for the supply of 2 MW of capacity which now expires in December 2007.

During 2004, Itabo supplied the Dominican Republic with 930 GWh, representing 11% of the Dominican Republic system's total production. Itabos generation decreased by 35% from 2003 to 2004, as a result of forced outages of the Itabo I and
Itabo II steam units. Itabo I was out of service between August 31 and September 17, 2004 due to mechanical problems related to the boiler and fan and Itabo II was out of service from April 16 to July 21, 2004 to repair excessive vibration. The
repairs improved the efficiency and reduced the production costs of both units, increasing their availability factors. During the outages, Itabo continued to meet its contractual obligations with its own generation, a back-up contract with another
generation company which expired in May 2004, and spot market purchases.

Itabo's construction of a fuel unloading port during 2004 was delayed due to technical revisions. In accordance with the current schedule, construction will be reinitiated in April 2005 and the port should be completed in December 2005. We expect
the port facility to have the capacity to unload 1,600 metric tons of coal per hour, allowing the entry of high-capacity Panamax ships. It is also expected to lead to a reduction in fuel transportation costs by significantly reducing the unloading
time for each vessel. We expect the port to create new business opportunities through the potential provision of services to third parties.

Non-Electricity Businesses

Imports and Sales of Coal and Our Use of Fuels

As the largest Chilean thermoelectric generation company, we require large quantities of coal for our plants. During 2004 we were the largest coal importer in Chile, which enables us to negotiate attractive prices and directly arrange coal
transportation and delivery. We have taken advantage of our position in the Chilean coal market, selling coal to third parties and to our 50% equity-method investee, Guacolda. We estimate that in 2004 our market share in the bituminous and
sub-bituminous coal market for the industrial sector in Chile was approximately 35%.

In 2004, we purchased approximately 1,163,000 metric tons of coal directly from foreign suppliers in Colombia (46%), Indonesia (31%), New Zealand (11%), Australia (8%) and Canada (4%). These suppliers provide us with coal of proven and consistent
quality. Our coal purchases in 2004 were 82% higher than in 2003, primarily due to natural gas curtailments and drier hydrological conditions which resulted in a higher level of dispatch by our coal-fired generation facilities. The following table
provides information regarding our coal sales and consumption (including petcoke) in 2004:

As one of the principal thermoelectric generators in Chile, we require large volumes of fossil fuels for our business activities. During 2004, in addition to our own consumption of coal in the amount of approximately 572,000 metric tons in the SIC, we sold approximately 105,000 metric tons of coal to our equity-method investee Guacolda.
In 2004, in the SING, our subsidiary Norgener consumed approximately 289,000 metric tons of coal and petroleum coke. In June 2004, in accordance with the granted environmental approvals and investments made in monitoring systems and equipment, Norgener began to burn a blend of coal and petcoke for one of its two generation units.

Our industrial customers are located throughout Chile, and they include important participants in the cement, food, manufacturing and fishing sectors. Our main customers are Polpaico (cement company), Comercial Catamutun S.A. (coal distributor) and
Soprocal and Inacesa (lime companies). In 2004, we sold approximately 321,000 metric tons of coal to industrial customers.

In addition to coal, we use petroleum-based fuels such as natural gas and diesel oil for our thermoelectric operations. Eléctrica Santiago's Nueva Renca combined-cycle facility in Chile utilizes natural gas imported from Argentina. In 2004,
this plant consumed approximately 452 million cubic meters of natural gas. In addition, our subsidiary TermoAndes, through its combined-cycle facility in Argentina, consumed approximately 377 million cubic meters of natural gas in 2004. Our
subsidiary Energía Verde uses forestry waste as fuels, which is supplied by neighboring paper pulp and sawmill companies under long term agreements. During 2004, Energía Verde generated approximately 79 GWh in addition to the
approximately 1.0 million metric tons of steam supplied by its facilities to several sawmills and pulp and paper companies in the south-central region of Chile.

In August 2004, we sold a coal mine concession in Colombia, Compañía de Carbones del Cesar Limitada, which had been incorporated as our 100% owned subsidiary in 1997. This company was formed to mine a coal deposit at La Loma, Province
of El Cesar, in northeastern Colombia. We sold this mine to Belts International Inc. and Aspen Trails Ltda., and in September 2004 we received payment totaling US$5 million. As a result, we recorded a net gain of Ch$1,400 million or US$2.1 million
due to the carrying value of this asset. Additionally, a coal purchase option contract was executed with the new owners under the terms of which AES Gener has the option to purchase 600,000 tons of coal from the mine prior to June 2010.

Oil

In November 2002, we sold our investments in oil and gas exploratory concessions in Argentina and Chile, which included the assets of OilGener Inc. (USA) and the Fell Block, along with OilGener Argentina Ltd. In Argentina, OilGener Argentina Ltd.,
operates one concession in the Austral Basin and holds two exploratory areas in the Neuquén Basin. Our 55% ownership participation in the Fell Block area, located in southern Chile, was operated through a joint operation agreement with the
state-owned oil company, Empresa Nacional de Petróleo or ENAP. In the sale, we received payment of US$150,000, from Energy Holdings LLC, for which we recorded a loss of Ch$8,409 million in 2001, equal to the book value of OilGener, and an
additional loss of Ch$4,664 million in 2002, for contributions made to assets in the Fell Block area, according to the joint venture agreement with ENAP.

Natural Gas Transportation and Distribution

We own 13% of each of GasAndes Argentina and GasAndes Chile, which together in August 1997, began to operate a pipeline that connects the Argentine national gas system in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina with the Santiago Metropolitan Region in
Chile. The pipeline is 463 km long and has a current capacity of approximately ten million cubic meters per day. In 2003, we held discussions to sell our interest in GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina; however, no agreements were reached.

Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A. and Ecogener S.A.

Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A. holds a concession for the treatment and distribution of drinking water and sewage collection and treatment in Quilicura, an industrial zone located in the Santiago Metropolitan Region. Ecogener S.A. was formed
primarily to provide liquid industrial waste removal services in the industrial area of Quilicura. We sold our 51% interest in both of these companies in November 2002 for 220,000 UF to Inversiones Residuos y Tratamientos S.A., and we registered a
loss of Ch$1,466 million on this sale. Prior to the sale, under U.S. GAAP an impairment loss amounting to Ch$1,592 million was recorded as of December 31, 2001.

General Electric Joint Venture (SIGEN S.A.)

In October 1998, we formed a joint venture with an affiliate of General Electric International Benelux B.V., or GE, to operate and service thermoelectric power plants throughout Latin America. In January 2002, we sold our 40% interest to GE,
which transaction did not have a significant impact on our results for the year ended December 31, 2002.

REGULATION OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN CHILE, COLOMBIA, ARGENTINA AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Chile

The electricity sector in Chile is regulated by the Electric Law, which was originally enacted in 1982. Under the Electric Law, the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity is supervised with respect to price setting by the NEC and the
Chilean Ministry of Economy and Energy acting through the NEC and by the CSEC with respect to operational and technical issues.
The Chilean Ministry of Economy and Energy regulates the granting of concessions to generation companies for hydroelectric facilities and to distribution companies for distribution networks. Concessions are not required for thermoelectric power plants.
The NEC, through the application of certain tariff formulas set forth in the Electric Law,
calculates regulated prices for electricity sales to certain end users.
The operation of electricity generation companies in each of the two major interconnected electricity systems in Chile, the SIC and the SING, is coordinated by independent dispatch centers, known as CDECs, in each of the two systems.
The SIC and the SING are intended to be near-perfect markets for the operation of electricity producers in which the lowest cost producer is used to satisfy demand before the next
lowest cost producer is dispatched. As a result, at any specific level of demand, the appropriate supply will be provided at the lowest possible cost of production available, constrained to maintain the safety and reliability of the service in the electrical system.

The purpose of the Electric Law is to provide a simplified regulatory scheme and tariff-setting process that limits the discretionary role of the government through the establishment of criteria for setting prices in a manner that results in an
economically efficient allocation of resources to and within the electricity sector.
The principal tool for assuring economic efficiency is a pricing system based on marginal costs.

The electricity industry in Chile is divided into three sectors:

- the generation sector consists of companies that generate electricity from thermoelectric and hydroelectric production sources;
- the transmission sector consists of companies that transmit electricity at high voltage; and
- the distribution sector consists of distribution companies that purchase electricity from generation companies for distribution at lower voltages to be sold to customers.

The following discussion of the Electric Law and the tariff-setting process focuses principally on the generation-transmission sector and is not a complete description. Although the regulatory scheme governing the electricity sector has remained relatively unchanged
since its adoption in 1982, it is subject to legislative review and amendment from time to time.
In May 1999, the Chilean Congress passed a law amending both the Electric Law and the law that created the CSEC, and in March 13, 2004, a new law known as the Ley Corta, or the Short Law, became effective. For more information relating to the changes in the Chilean Electricity Law,
see Changes in Chilean Electricity Regulation.

The regulatory framework of the Chilean electricity industry is different from the framework in most areas of the United States in a number of aspects. Specifically, large-scale generation and distribution of electricity in the United States is generally conducted by utility companies
as integrated businesses, while in Chile the generation,
transmission and distribution of electricity is conducted by separate entities. In addition, in the United States generators and distributors of electricity operate in concession areas that are often granted on an exclusive basis, while in Chile generation companies are
free to sell electricity through the relevant system to any distribution company,
to unregulated customers and to other generation companies.

In Chile, the regulation of production schedules for electricity generation facilities is based on the marginal cost of production, which is the cost of the most expensive unit required by the system at the time. In order to meet demand for electricity at any point in time,
the lowest marginal cost generating plant in an interconnected system is used
before the next lowest marginal cost plant is dispatched. As a result, at any specific level of demand, the appropriate supply will be provided at the lowest possible marginal cost of production available in the system, considering transmission and reliability constraints.
Generation companies are free to enter into sales contracts with distribution companies
and other customers for the sale of capacity and energy. However, the electricity necessary to fulfill these contracts is provided by the contracting

generation company only if the generation companys marginal cost of production is low enough for its generating capacity to be dispatched to meet demand. Otherwise, the generation company will purchase electricity from other generation
companies at the marginal cost of production in the system.

During periods when production cannot meet system demands, regardless of whether the government has enacted a rationing decree, the price of energy exchanges between generation companies is valued at the shortage cost determined by the
NEC, by considering the cost to consumers for not having energy available. This shortage cost is significantly higher than market price at normal conditions. Although this law was promulgated in 1990, it was not applied until November
1998, when generators in the SIC were unable to agree on the implementation of the shortage cost during the supply deficit and associated mandated rationing periods.

Also, in accordance with the law, the prices paid to generation companies by distribution companies for capacity and energy to be resold to their retail customers are based on the marginal cost of capacity or energy. In order to ensure price
stability, however, the regulatory authorities in Chile establish prices, known as node prices, every six months to be paid by distribution companies for the energy and capacity requirements of regulated consumers. Node prices for energy
are calculated on the basis of projections of the expected marginal costs within the system over the next 24-48 months in the SING and the SIC. The formula takes into account, among other things, assumptions regarding available supply and demand in
the future. Node prices for capacity are based on the marginal investment required to meet peak demand, based on the cost of a diesel-fired turbine. Prices for capacity and energy over 0.5 MW sold to large customers and for other generation
companies purchasing on a contractual basis are unregulated. If average prices for capacity and energy sold to unregulated customers differ from node prices by more than 5%, node prices are adjusted upward or downward, as the case may be, so that
the difference between such prices equals 5%. In contrast, the spot price paid by one generation company to another for energy is referred to as the system marginal cost, which is based on the actual marginal cost of the highest cost
generator producing electricity in the system during the relevant period, as determined on an hourly basis.

Since the system marginal cost for energy is set weekly (but may in certain circumstances be changed on a daily basis) based on variables that can change instantaneously, and the node price for energy is set every six months based on projections of
these variables, the system marginal cost for energy tends to be more volatile than the node price for energy of that system. In periods of low water conditions that require greater generation of energy by more costly thermoelectric plants, the
system marginal cost typically exceeds the node price. In periods of high water conditions when lower cost hydroelectric facilities can meet the majority of the demand, the system marginal cost is typically below the node price and may in fact
decline to zero during some hours.

Summary of National Energy Policy

The organization and operation of the electricity sector in Chile is intended to support the overall energy policy of the country, which seeks to achieve the greatest practical benefit by establishing conditions for economically efficient
investment and operation and which relies principally on the private sector.

The basic strategy of Chiles energy policy, as applied to the electricity sector, is to:

- develop energy sources at the lowest aggregate cost, taking into account both investment and operating cost, as well as supply constraints and environmental impact;
- achieve an adequate and reliable electrical power supply, balancing the costs of a constrained supply against the capital and operating costs of creating new capacity;
- assure an efficient and economic mix of energy sources (thermoelectric and hydroelectric) within the electricity sector; and
- maintain a stable and predictable regulatory scheme that will provide the necessary incentives for the development of privately owned generation and distribution companies in a competitive environment.

Under the policy, the role of the state in the electricity sector is principally threefold:

- to oversee development by planning and coordinating private sector initiatives and granting of concessions and permits;
- to supervise the operation of the tariff-setting system established by the Electricity Law; and
- to promote or develop projects deemed to be of national importance that do not attract sufficient private sector investment.

Changes in Chilean Electricity Regulation

An administrative regulation under the Electric Law was officially promulgated by the Chilean Ministry of Mining and published in the Official Gazette on September 10, 1998, or the Supreme Decree No. 327. The regulation made certain technical
changes to the existing regulations and related statutes. The primary purpose of these changes was to clarify procedures and resolve differing interpretations of the regulations. The changes included the establishment of an independent CDEC in all
interconnected systems in order to more effectively separate electricity transmission from electricity generation, revisions to the toll system for transmission lines and establishment of new standards for quality of service.

On May 20, 1999, the Chilean Congress passed a law amending both the Electric Law and the law that created the CSEC, which was approved by the executive branch in June 1999.

The amended Electric Law requires that, during rationing periods dictated by decree from the Chilean Ministry of Economy, any system shortage or deficit is to be distributed proportionally among generation companies, regardless of each
companys actual generation levels and contractual commitments. The amendments also require generation companies with supply deficits to pay generators with supply surpluses for energy transfers valued at the system marginal cost that is equal
to the unserved cost of energy during shortages. Generation companies, in turn, must compensate their regulated customers for energy deficits in an amount equal to the difference between the unserved energy cost and the effective node price of
energy. Finally, distribution companies are required to pass on all compensation received to their regulated customers. The amended Electric Law provides that a generator cannot fail to meet its payment obligations by claiming that a drought
situation is a force majeure event. In addition, the amendments to the law creating the CSEC expanded the powers granted to this regulatory agency, most notably in connection with the authority to impose fines for certain infractions of the
law and the compensation of consumers for energy supply failures.

On October 9, 2003, the Chilean Ministry of Economy and Energy issued an amendment to Supreme Decree No. 327 that specifies the administrative norms that will prevail in case of electrical rationing, dictates complementary norms for the calculation
of transmission tolls and standardizes the procedures for determining the node price. The primary impact of this regulation is the following:

- in the event of a failure during a drought situation or a failure of a thermoelectric plant, the compensatory payment will be made according to non-supplied energy;
- the entire transmission system will receive payments from users according to a new model; and
- the introduction of a more detailed methodology for the calculation of the node price, which will provide greater certainty to the market regarding the process for setting the node price.

The Short Law, which was passed by the Chilean Congress in January 2004 and enacted on March 13, 2004 by the Ministry of Economy and Energy, establishes amendments to the existing Electricity Law, principally in relation to tolls charged for the
use of high voltage transmission systems. In effect, the Short Law replaces Supreme Decree No. 327 with regard to transmission issues. This new law defines a transmission network in which tolls are to be determined in accordance with the utilization
by actual users, electric generators and customers. Within the networks trunk line, an area of common influence is defined that is to be paid 80% by electric generators, based on their injections into the system, and 20% by customers, based on
their withdrawals from the system. The remaining portion of the networks trunk line is to be paid for by generators and customers, in accordance with the energy flows from each transmission line. With respect to transmission system
investments, new installations are differentiated from existing installations as the tolls for new installations are to be determined through competitive bid processes, while the tolls for existing installations will be defined through decrees
issued by the Ministry of Economy and Energy every four years. The Short Law became effective on March 13, 2004; however,

32

Table of Contents

until the first trunk line transmission decree is issued for the systems existing installations, the respective CDECs are to determine the tolls to be applied in accordance with the previous regulations. The CDECs calculations are deemed
interim, subject to future reconciliation payments after the issuance of the first ministerial decree.

In addition to the amendments to modify the procedures used to determine transmission tolls, the Short Law contains other important modifications, including a reduction in the minimum demand requirement for a customer to qualify as an unregulated
customer and a reduction of the range outside of which the node price must fall in order to be subject to readjustment. The Short Law reduced the minimum demand requirement from the previous level of 2.0 MW to 0.5 MW. Such modification provides
generation companies with a larger unregulated customer base and allows them to sell electricity to those customers directly, rather than to regulated distributors that resell the energy to those customers. The previous law required that the
difference between regulated node prices and the actual prices charged to unregulated customers, on average, not exceed 10%. If the prices determined by the Chilean regulatory agency did not meet this requirement, the node prices were adjusted
upward or downward to fall within a range of 10%. The Short Law reduced the range to 5%, effectively moving the regulated price closer to unregulated market prices. We believe the modifications contained in the Short Law maintain or improve our
position with regard to both our current status and our projected development, particularly with respect to issues related to transmission tolls.

On May 3, 2005, a bill to amend the Electric Law was approved by the Chilean Congress which was promulgated by the executive branch on May 19, 2005. The bill was designed to mitigate the effects of the restrictions on natural gas exports to
Chile which have been applied by the Argentine government since March 2004. The principal aspects of the new law include:

- implementation of public bid processes for distribution companies after 2009;
- modification of regulated node price methodology, progressively replacing the node price with public bid prices and improvement in the correlation between regulated node prices and unregulated market prices in the interim period;
- stabilization of generation companies revenues by allowing them to enter into long-term fixed price contracts with distribution companies (maximum of 15 years);
- authorization of voluntary savings incentives which allow generation companies to directly negotiate demand reductions with final customers;
- determination that natural gas shortages can no longer be considered force majeureevents and compensation to customers by generation companies which fail to operate due to gas shortages; and
- establishment of compensation for losses by generation companies when obligated to sell to distribution companies that are unable to independently contract adequate supplies.

Electricity Sales by Generation Companies

Under the Electricity Law, generation companies may sell capacity and energy:

- to distribution companies;
- directly to certain unregulated customers; and
- to other generation companies.

Sales may be made pursuant to short or long-term contracts or on a spot basis. Generation companies are free to determine whether and with whom to contract, the duration of contracts, and the amount of electricity to be sold.

Sales to Distribution Companies

Table of Contents

Most sales of electricity to distribution companies are regulated. Under the Electricity Law, as amended by the Short Law described above, and relevant regulations, all sales of electricity to distribution companies for resale to regulated
customers, principally those customers who require 0.5 MW of nominal capacity or less, must be made at the node prices then in effect. Node prices for capacity are based on the annual cost of installing a new diesel fuel gas turbine generation
facility. Node prices for energy are calculated on the basis of projected short-term marginal cost of satisfying the demand for energy at a given point in the relevant interconnected system over the next 48 months in the SIC and the next 24 months
in the SING on an expected value basis. In order to determine the cost of energy, a tariff formula is used which takes into account projections of the principal variables in the cost of energy at each sub-station in the system over the relevant time
period, including:

- projections of growth in demand;
- reservoir levels, which are important in determining the availability and price of hydroelectric energy;
- fuel costs for thermoelectric generating facilities;
- changes in foreign currency prices relevant to raw materials;
- planned maintenance schedules or other factors that would affect the availability of existing generating capacity;
- scheduled new additions to generating capacity and the transmission system; and
- historic hydrological conditions for the last 40 years.

These marginal cost projections assume efficiency in operations and future investment.

The Electricity Law, as amended by the Short Law, requires that the difference between node prices and the actual prices charged to unregulated customers in the prior six-month period not, on average, exceed 5%.

Node prices for capacity and energy are established every six months, in April and October, by a decree issued by the Chilean Ministry of Economy and Energy. Node prices thus established become effective in May and November. The Chilean Ministry of
Economy and Energy acts on recommendations submitted by the NEC, which, prior to finalizing its recommendation, receives comments from generation companies and the relevant CDEC. Node prices are expressed as formulas, with industry-specific
indexation that allows the node prices to be adjusted during the six-month period if changes in some of the underlying assumptions used to project the node prices then in effect would result in a change of more than 5% in the node price calculation.

As with any regulated company, we cannot assure you that the laws or regulations in Chile will not change, or be interpreted, in a manner that could adversely affect our equity-method investees or us. For instance, in May 2001 the Chilean
government issued Ministerial Resolution No. 88, under which electricity generators, such as we, are required to provide power to distribution companies in the SIC if such companies are unable to freely contract for adequate power to meet their
customers needs. This resolution effectively requires us to supply more energy to distribution companies than we have otherwise freely contracted for, thereby increasing our exposure to the spot market.

Contractual Sales to Unregulated Customers

Contractual sales of capacity or energy to other generation companies and other customers with more than 0.5 MW of capacity demand, whether directly by a generation company or through a distribution company, are not regulated. These customers are
free to negotiate prices and may purchase the capacity or energy directly from generation companies or from distribution companies pursuant to short or long-term contracts.

Sales of electricity by generation companies directly to large customers are facilitated by provisions of the Electricity Law, which enable any generation company to use the transmission lines of other generation companies, transmission companies
and distribution companies upon payment of a toll charge. The toll is fixed according to a formula that reimburses the owner of the transmission lines for a portion of its investment and operating cost for the transmission

lines used. As a result of these toll arrangements, a generation company can supply electricity directly to large customers that are located at a considerable distance from its own facilities, thus fostering enhanced competition in the sale of
electricity to large customers.

Sales to Other Generation Companies in the Spot Market

Spot sales of capacity and energy between generation companies are also regulated by the Electricity Law. These sales are made at the system marginal cost of the interconnected system in which the companies are located. System marginal
costs are set twice a year in the case of sales of capacity, and each week, with daily review, on an hourly basis in the case of sales of energy. In each case, system marginal costs are set by the relevant dispatch authority, or CDEC. The system
marginal cost for capacity is based on the cost of installing a new diesel fuel gas turbine generation facility. The system marginal cost for energy is based on such factors as demand projections, reservoir levels, fuel costs for thermoelectric
generating facilities, maintenance schedules and other factors that would affect the availability of existing capacity during the week.

The following graph sets forth the relationship between the node price and the system marginal cost for energy in the SIC from 1994 through 2004 in constant U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2004:

Electricity Sales by Distribution Companies

In 2004, 54% of our energy sales in Chile were to distribution companies. Under the Electricity Law, as amended by the Short Law, distribution companies may sell capacity and energy to large customers, customers with a capacity demand of more than
0.5 MW and certain other short-term or special customers at unregulated prices. All other sales must be at regulated tariffs. These tariffs, which vary among distribution companies and among customers of a given distribution company, are based on
factors such as level of usage, variability of usage and proximity to generation facilities. They are calculated by adding a distribution charge, called the value added in distribution, and reflect the assumed costs incurred in distribution in the
applicable node prices charged by the generation company.

Distribution tariffs are adopted by the Chilean Ministry of Economy and Energy every four years, based on recommendations from the NEC, which develops its proposals through a prescribed process that includes participation by the distribution
companies and specialized consultants. Tariff formulas provide for tariffs based on variations in node prices and other factors affecting distribution costs. Such indexation occurs on a monthly basis. The most recent revision of distribution
tariffs, which determined the distribution tariffs to be applied from November 2004 to November 2008, was concluded in 2004.

Concessions

Concessions for the operation of hydroelectric generation facilities are granted by the Chilean Ministry of Economy and Energy under the Electricity Law. Concessions for hydroelectric facilities are of indefinite duration but are subject to
revocation for failure to comply with their terms. Concessions are not required for the operation of thermoelectric generation facilities.

Colombia

From 1980 to 1985, the Colombian electricity sector expanded rapidly, financed largely by foreign currency-denominated project finance debt. During this period, the industry was heavily regulated by the Colombian government, which often set prices
charged to retail end users of electricity below the cost of the electricity consumed, encouraging excess consumption. The combination of a high debt load, artificially low prices and the devaluation of the Colombian peso in 1985 led to a financial
crisis in the sector that culminated in the Colombian government assuming control of significant ownership stakes in a majority of Colombian electric utilities by exchanging debt owed by such utilities to the government for equity interests in the
utilities.

Since 1991, the Colombian government has sought to restructure the electricity sector, seeking to reduce administrative inefficiency in electricity enterprises, establish a rational tariff structure to allow energy companies to recover the true
economic cost of electricity services, strengthen the finances of electricity enterprises and establish a framework for the participation of private entities in the energy sector.

In 1994, the Colombian government enacted laws that provide the basic structure and regulatory framework of the sector today. The principal reforms initiated by these laws represented a change in the governments role in the sector from direct
management, ownership and control of electric utilities to ordinary regulation of electric utilities, the opening of the industry to private sector participation, the creation of an open and competitive wholesale electricity market, the regulation
of monopolistic transmission and distribution activities, and the establishment of universal access to transmission and distribution networks. Currently, the Colombian government continues to control a substantial majority of the electricity
generation and distribution in Colombia through public entities and entities of mixed public and private share ownership.

Two fundamental laws related to the electric sector were enacted in 1994. Law 142 provides a broad regulatory framework for the provision of residential public services, including the distribution of electricity, gas, water, sewage and
telecommunications, and Law 143 provides the regulatory framework for the generation, trading, transmission and distribution of energy.

Law 142, as amended sets forth the legal framework for residential public utility services by providing for governmental participation, policy development and other regulatory and enforcement powers with respect to
public services. Law 142 created the CREG, other regulatory commissions and the Superintendency of Domiciliary Public Services, or the SSPD, and it contains provisions regarding the general competition framework in the public utility service
sector. The

37

Table of Contents

CREGis an administrative body whose principal purpose is to regulate and promote competition within the different areas of the energy sector so that economically efficient and high-quality energy services are provided. The SSPD is
responsible for inspecting, controlling and monitoring all companies rendering public utility services and enforcing regulations, imposing penalties and generally overseeing the financial and administrative performance of public utility service
companies, among other things. Law 142 also includes provisions under which the SSPD may acquire control of electric generation companies if certain defined infractions occur, such as breach of regulations or material contracts.

Law 143, known as the "Electricity Law," sets out the general framework for the generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity. It also sets forth the governing principles for electricitybusinesses and provides rules on
energy sector expansion and planning with respect to generation, transmission, distribution, trading and transportation of energy. Finally, Law 143 provides general rules on the functioning of the SIN and the wholesale energy market. Pursuant to Law
143, generators and distributors acting in their capacity as traders may sell capacity and energy to non-regulated end users under energy supply agreements at freely negotiated prices.

Since 1994, several resolutions have been issued by the CREG, which address the general principles set forth in Law 142 and Law 143. These resolutions include rules for the operation of the wholesale energy market and the energy spot market, the
framework and methodology of the capacity charge calculation, and limitation of vertical and horizontal cross shareholdings within the electricity industry, among other issues. In particular, as of January 1, 2002, no person may own, directly or
indirectly, more than 25% of the nominal generating capacity in the SIN.

Proposed Changes in the Colombian Electricity Regulations

The CREG has made the following proposals to modify the existing regulatory framework:

- Capacity Charge: Although the current capacity charge methodology is valid until November 2006, in 2004, the CREG issued a preliminary capacity charge proposal to be evaluated by generators. The proposal is to transform the system from an
administrative to a market-based system that remunerates firm energy and firm capacity provided by each generator. A new methodology is expected to be issued during the first quarter of 2006 and to become effective in January 2007. As the
CREGs proposal was not approved by the energy sector, the Ministerio de Minas y Energía, or the Ministry of Mines and Energy, requested the assistance of international consultants and we believe that it is likely that a
transition will be made towards remuneration of the capacity charge based on open market prices.
- Standardized Agreements and Electronic Trading:Currently, there are important differences between prices contracted by regulated and non-regulated end users. The CREG introduced a proposal in 2004 to provide the market with improved
transparency and promote competition. Specifically, the CREG proposes to standardize energy supply agreements, create an electronic trading system for such agreements, require that energy supply agreements be traded in auctions and ensure anonymous
dealing between buyers and sellers prior to the close of a transaction. This proposal was well generally received by the energy sector and the system is expected to become operative during the last quarter of 2005.
- Ancillary Services:The CREG is working on possible alternatives for remunerating generators for black start services, which allow generators to start generating without an externally provided energy input after a blackout in the national
system.

Market Structure

Participation in the wholesale power pool market is mandatory for all generators. Electricity dispatch is performed by the National Dispatch Center, or the CND, which performs a function similar to that of the CDEC in
the Chilean electricity market. For each hour of the day, dispatch is prioritized according to the prices bid by each generator, with daily optimization and without considering energy contract sales. Generators can enter into freely negotiated
energy supply agreements with distribution companies. They can also enter into energy supply agreements with traders, non-regulated end users and other generators and also sell their power in the spot market at a spot or pool price. However, they
cannot enter into energy supply agreements with regulated end users.

38

Table of Contents

Sales through energy supply agreements and in the spot market constitute the wholesale energy market. In principle, generators prices, either in the spot market or in an energy supply agreement, are governed by
supply and demand interaction within a free market. Traders who purchase and sell electricity, in turn, may sell power to other traders, generators, distributors and non-regulated end users. Non-regulated end users are power consumers that must
either have a peak demand greater than 0.1 MW or a minimum monthly consumption greater than 55.0 MWh. Individual end users that do not meet these standards are regulated end users. Most traders are local distribution companies; however, there are
also some "pure" traders who simply purchase energy to resell and are not engaged in distribution activities.

Electricity energy transmission is undertaken principally by the Wholesale Energy Market Administrator and at regional levels also by regional transmission companies. Distribution of electricity is performed by local
companies, and any distributor or trader that enters into energy supply agreements with regulated end users must purchase necessary power through public tenders. Electricity transporters (transmission and distribution companies) must guarantee open
access to their grids for all generators and non-regulated end users, subject to the payment of the corresponding tolls and connection charges. Transmission and distribution companies have regulated revenues established by the CREG. The SIN is
physically interconnected to the Ecuadorian and Venezuelan energy grids; however, only the Ecuadorian market has been integrated with Colombia and, as a result, spot purchases and sales between the two countries are possible.

The following graph sets forth the average wholesale energy market prices for the 2001 to 2004 period, comparing spot market prices and energy supply agreement prices in that market to Chivors energy supply agreement prices:

Expansion of the Colombian system is carried out according to a plan created by the Mining and Energy Planning Department of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, or the UPME, and is based on UPMEs determination of
overall energy requirements of the Colombian population and the manner determined by UPME to be most efficient for satisfying national demand. Plans are made on a short-term (three years), medium-term (five years) and long-term (ten years) basis.
Before 1998, the UPME, at its discretion, assigned responsibility for each transmission expansion project in the expansion plan to a particular transmission company or to the national government. In 1998, CREG implemented a new scheme for the
expansion of the transmission system. Under this scheme, expansion projects are auctioned individually and awarded to the bidder offering the lowest expected tariff for the first 25 years of the project. In accordance with the UPMEs expansion
plans, no major new power plants will enter into operation until 2010.

Argentina

The Argentine electricity industry was restructured in 1992 as a result of the governments privatization program. A new framework, similar to the Chilean regulatory system, was established to regulate the generation, transmission and
distribution of electricity. Production scheduling and prices are both based on a competitive generation market. Distribution

companies and other large users purchase electricity (both capacity and energy) on the spot market at a spot or seasonal price or through long term contracts on the Wholesale Electricity Market, or the WEM.

The Argentine electricity industry is currently regulated by the Ente Nacional Regulador de la Electricidad, which is the Argentine National Electricity Regulating Entity, or the ENRE. The ENRE operates under the supervision and rules and
regulations of the Argentine Secretary of Energy, the Argentine Ministry of Economy and the Argentine Executive Branch of the government and is responsible for enforcing compliance with the provisions of the regulatory framework and the applicable
concessions.

The Argentine electricity industry is divided into the Sistema Argentino de Interconexión, which is the National Interconnection System, or SADI, and the Sistema Interconectado Patagónico, which is the Patagonian
Interconnected System. Under the current framework, generation companies sell their electricity to distribution companies and other large users in the competitive wholesale electricity market through supply contracts or in the spot market at prices
set by the Compañía Administradora de Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico, or the Wholesale Electricity Market Management Company, or CAMMESA. CAMMESA is responsible for the operation of the wholesale electricity market.
CAMMESAs participants include generation, transmission and distribution companies and large users through their respective industrial associations. CAMMESAs president is the Argentine Secretary of Energy.

Most of the electric transmission system in Argentina has been privatized and is currently operated by Compañía de Transporte de Energía Eléctrica en Alta Tensión S.A. Three other companies own most of the
remaining transmission system. Transmission companies have specific obligations and rights by law. For example, they are required to provide third parties open access to available transmission capacity, prohibited from generating, buying or selling
electricity and authorized to charge a toll for transmission services. The cost of transmission in Argentina charged to generation and distribution companies and large users consists of a charge for transportation of energy across the system, a
charge for connection to the system, and a charge for line availability.

Within the Argentine electricity industry, all generation companies pool electricity in a wholesale electricity market. Electricity is purchased from participants in the pool by distribution companies and other large users at the contractual,
seasonal or spot price. The contractual price is paid by distribution companies and other large users that have entered into supply contracts with generation companies. Large users who contract directly with generation companies must also pay the
distribution companies a toll for distribution. The seasonal price is the generation price passed through by distribution companies to regulated customers. It is a fixed price that is reset every three months by CAMMESA and approved by the Argentine
Secretary of Energy, and it represents the average expected spot prices for the next three months plus a correction for the difference between the average spot price during the last three months and the previous seasonal price. The spot price is the
price paid to other generation companies for energy dispatched under CAMMESAs direction, as discussed in the immediately succeeding paragraph, and for electricity required by CAMMESA to maintain adequate reserves. The hourly spot price paid
for energy reflects the marginal cost of generation according to the values declared by generators.

The actual operation of CAMMESA involves the dispatch of generating resources without regard to contracts between generation companies and distribution companies or large users. Consequently, a generation companys capacity may be dispatched
to provide more or less energy to the pool, irrespective of its contractual commitments. The generation company may therefore be obligated to buy or sell excess energy from or to the pool at spot prices.

As a consequence of the Public Emergency Law, since November 2002 the seasonal price has not been adjusted, and its level has been consistently below the spot price. Thus, the funds collected by CAMMESA from distributors have been insufficient to
pay generators the spot price. In order to avoid greater differences between the spot price and seasonal price, Resolution 240/03 was issued in August 2003, establishing that the spot price will be set using the variable costs of thermal plants,
assuming they consumed natural gas, even though they actually consumed other more expensive fuels. This measure considerably reduced the spot price in the winter season when gas restrictions were in effect.

Since the seasonal price has systematically been below the spot prices, collections from the electricity market have not been high enough to reimburse generators for their cost of production. As a result, in September 2003 Resolution 406/03 was
issued to change the proportional criteria used to pay generators for their sales in the spot market, giving priority to thermal generators on the basis of their variable operating costs. In the event that CAMMESA observes some unexpected shortage
of generators that it might consider unusual, the resolution requires it to inform the Argentine Secretary of Energy of the situation and to retain payments to be made to this generator if it considers there to be no reasonable explanation for such
unavailability.

Since February 2004, the Argentine government has enacted several regulations that directly restrict the export of natural gas in an attempt to ensure domestic natural gas supplies. On March 26, 2004, the Argentine Secretary of Energy passed
Resolution 265/04, which effectively immediately restricted surplus exports of natural gas to neighboring countries and announced a natural gas rationing program to be developed, which program would reduce the amount of natural gas available both
for export and for use in generating electricity for export. The primary objective of Resolution 265/04 is to ensure the natural gas supply to residential consumers, customers with firm supply contracts and thermoelectric plants connected to SADI.
This resolution provides for the following:

- the interruption of the export of natural gas surpluses;
- the suspension of the granting of export permits for future natural gas projects; and
- the grant of authorization to the Under-Secretary of Fuels to implement a rationing program for the interruption of gas exports under private agreements and the supply of natural gas to power exporters.

On March 31, 2004, the Argentine Under-Secretary of Fuels issued Rule 27/04, the Rationing Program for Natural Gas Exports and Use of Transportation Capacity, or the Program, which, in order to ensure natural gas supply to the domestic market,
imposed restrictions upon natural gas exports, natural gas supplies used for electric generation exports and natural gas transportation services utilized for export. The Program established that natural gas exports from each producer in 2004 are to
be limited to the amount exported in the same month in 2003 by the producer and, additionally, that cumulative exports during the nine-month period from January to September 2004 cannot exceed the amount exported by the same producer during the same
nine-month period in 2003. Gas suppliers that do not fulfill their supply obligations in the Argentine market are also subject to export restrictions and penalties are to be levied against gas suppliers who do not comply with the requirements of the
Program.

On June 17, 2004, the Secretary of Energy issued Resolution 659/04 which approved the Complementary Supply Program for the Domestic Natural Gas Market and replaced Rule 27/04. Resolution 659/04 established a new methodology for
determining natural gas sales into the domestic market based on each producers level of committed supply to Argentine consumers. Additionally, on August 19, 2004, the Argentine Secretary of Energy passed Resolution 839/04, which requires the
electric grid dispatch center to exclusively program and dispatch with natural gas all facilities that are capable of burning such fuel from September 2004 to April 2005 in order to meet domestic demand. This resolution specifically prohibits the
use of liquid fuels by generation facilities in Argentina during such period, except during certain defined emergency situations.

The Argentine government has also enacted regulations that affect the price of natural gas. For example, on April 22, 2004, the agreement entered into by the Secretary of Energy and certain gas producers, The Agreement for the
Implementation of the Price Normalization Plan for Natural Gas Injected into the Transportation System, Order by Decree 181/04 was approved by the Argentine executive branch under Resolution 208/04. This resolution will apply systematic
natural gas price increases, from May 2004 to July 2005, to new large consumers of natural gas and electric generation plants that provide electricity to the domestic market. In exchange, gas producers have committed to ensure a sufficient supply of
gas to distribution companies for residential consumption, new large end-users and electric generation plants with domestic production for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. Additionally, on May 27, 2004, the Argentine government approved Decree 645/04
which included a new duty of 20% to be levied on certain export merchandise, including natural gas.

The price for gas transportation service is composed of a regulated tariff and an additional contribution. The regulated tariff to be applied to firm transportation service is determined by the Ente Nacional Regulador de Gas, the ENARGAS or
the Argentine National Gas Regulatory Agency. Tariffs for domestic gas transportation do not include the CER or any other index and TermoAndes payments to date have been made in accordance with the regulated tariff. The additional contribution
is associated with new investments and is agreed upon by the parties and approved by the ENARGAS. The Argentine government also has established new regulations for gas transportation service investments. On April 19, 2004, the Ministerio de
Planificación Federal, Inversión Pública y Servicios or the Argentine Federal Planning and Public Investment and Services Commission, approved Rule 185/2004 in order to regulate the implementation and functioning of fiduciary
funds to be utilized to finance the required investments to expand and/or extend natural gas transportation and distribution systems utilized to serve the domestic market. Based on such regulations, future investments

in the principal Argentine gas transportation and systems will be financed through the fiduciary funds and will be repaid in part through new transportation charges from both existing and new customers.

The Dominican Republic

After several attempts to restructure and privatize the electricity sector, in March 1998, the Dominican government approved a decree that enabled capitalization through privatization. The capitalization decree transferred the ownership of
previously state-owned enterprises to the private sector by offering 100% management control in exchange for a 50% equity interest. In July 2001, Law No. 125 was enacted to define the legal framework for the electricity sector, and, in July 2002,
the Dominican executive branch passed regulations for the implementation of the law. The law and its regulations are very similar to those in effect in Chile and were designed to meet the countrys energy consumption needs through governmental
energy institutions, namely the Comisión Nacional de Energía, the National Energy Commission, or CNE, and the Superintendencia de Electricidad, the Superintendency of Electricity, or Superintendency.

The principal role of the CNE, acting as advisor to the executive branch, is to develop and coordinate regulations, propose and adopt policies, design plans for the adequate operation and development of the sector and ensure that they are complied
with, and to promote investments. The Superintendencys duties include the setting of tariffs, processing of permits, supervision of compliance with regulatory and technical rules related to electricity generation, transmission and distribution
companies and the prevention of monopolistic activity in areas where competition is required. The law and its regulations establish that generation, transmission and distribution companies, as well as self-producers and cogenerators that sell
surpluses to the system, be members of an organization that coordinates the operation of facilities, and transmission and distribution systems.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

AES Gener S.A.'s electricity generation facilities in the SIC consist of four hydroelectric plants and three thermoelectric plants, including one gas turbine plant. Energía Verde, 100% owned by AES Gener S.A.,
also operates in the SIC, and its facilities consist of two thermoelectric co-generation units, one steam generation plant and one gas turbine. Energía Verde uses forestry waste to generate steam, with a capacity of 142 tons of steam per
hour. Eléctrica Santiago, 90% owned by AES Gener S.A., owns one combined-cycle plant and one diesel oil-fired thermoelectric plant, both of which operate in the SIC. Norgener, 100% owned by AES Gener S.A., has two thermoelectric units
operating in the SING. Chivor, 99.98% owned by Energy Trade, a 100% owned subsidiary of AES Gener S.A., is a 1,000 MW hydroelectric (dam-based) facility located in the SIN. TermoAndes, 100% indirectly owned by AES Gener S.A., owns one combined-cycle
facility in the province of Salta in Argentina and supplies electricity to the SING. InterAndes, 100% indirectly owned by AES Gener S.A., owns the portion of the transmission line in Argentina, which delivers electricity produced by TermoAndes in
the SING.

Our primary operating revenue comes from the sale of electricity produced by our electric generation facilities. Significant damage to any of our facilities that affects our ability to generate would adversely impact
our operating results. We maintain comprehensive insurance with respect to our facilities and office buildings, including all-risk property damage and business interruption insurance, which covers, among other things, damage caused by fire, floods
and earthquakes, however, we cannot assure you that the amounts for which we are insured or amounts which we receive under such insurance coverage would cover all of our losses.

The following table provides information related to our electricity generation operations from 2000 to 2004:

All of our hydroelectric plants in Chile are run-of-the-river plants rather than dam-based facilities. As a result, they depend on rainfall and melting snow to produce water flow. Even in drought conditions, run-of-the-river plants generally
continue to operate, although at reduced capacity, while a dam-based plant may not operate due to the dispatching authority's reluctance to use scarce water supplies.

The principal sources of water for our hydroelectric facilities located in Chile are the Colorado and Maipo rivers, each located near our hydroelectric facilities. We have concessions under applicable Chilean law to use such water sources without
charge for an indefinite period of time based on specified maximum levels that are adequate for our present needs. All of our hydroelectric power stations maintained a high level of availability during 2004. Our hydroelectric facilities have
suffered damage in the past as a result of natural disasters such as floods and mud slides.

Chivor, our hydroelectric plant in Colombia, is a 1,000 MW dam-based facility that began service in 1977 with 500 MW and added an additional 500 MW of capacity in 1981. The main facilities of the plant consist of a reservoir with a maximum useful
water volume of 617 million cubic meters, a main dam, two additional diversion dams, and a powerhouse that consists of a plant with eight generators. The plant is located approximately 160 km northeast of Bogotá, and its principal sources of
water are the Tunjita, Negro, Rucio and Batá rivers, all of which provide water to the plant's main reservoir, the Esmeralda reservoir. Chivor has concessions under applicable Colombian law to use such water sources without charge. Both
Colombian water rights concessions granted to Chivor are for fifty-year terms. Resolution 282 expires in 2019, and Resolution 294 is effective until 2034. Each concession allows Chivor to use the water sources for the purpose of electricity
generation and is renewable during the last year of each term.

In Chile, we and our equity-method investee, Guacolda, also own about 1,254 km of medium and high voltage transmission lines and their corresponding substations. We also operate approximately 221 km of transmission lines in the SING which are
leased from a customer. The following table summarizes the transmission lines we own and/or operate in Chile:

Government Regulation

In addition to regulation under laws governing the electricity sector, we are subject to a full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile and the other countries where we
operate, including labor laws, social security laws, public health and environmental laws, securities laws and antitrust laws. These include regulations to ensure sanitary and safe conditions in our facilities.

For details concerning material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us with respect to regulatory matters, see note 26 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Environmental Regulation

Although the regulation of matters relating to the protection of the environment is not as well-developed in the countries where AES Gener operates as in the United States and certain other countries, Chile, Colombia, Argentina and the Dominican
Republic have numerous laws, regulations, decrees and municipal ordinances relating to environmental matters.

We anticipate that additional laws and regulations related to environmental and other regulatory matters will be enacted over time in the countries in which we operate. While we believe that we will continue to be in compliance with all applicable
environmental regulations currently in effect, there can be no assurance that future legislative or regulatory developments will not impose material restrictions on us.

Chilean Regulation

In March 1994, Law No. 19,300 was enacted by the Chilean Congress to regulate certain environmental issues, and, in April 1997, the Chilean President promulgated regulations under this law. This law encourages companies to hire independent experts
to conduct environmental impact studies of any future projects or activities. Regulations under Law 19,300 created the NEC, as well as regional commissions, to supervise environmental impact studies of all new projects. We have conducted
environmental impact studies for Norgener's Nueva Tocopilla plant, Eléctrica Santiago's Nueva Renca plant and Guacolda's thermoelectric facilities. We also have conducted an environmental study for our InterAndes Project, which complies with
both Chilean and Argentine environmental laws. In addition, we have conducted environmental studies for our subsidiary, Norgener, and our equity-method investee, Guacolda, so that both were able to obtain approvals for the use of a mix of petcoke
and coal as fuel. In 2003, our environmental permit request for the conversion project of the Renca power plant was approved by the authorities and in October 2004, the Regional Environmental Commission for Chile V Region approved our environmental
permit request for the installation of a 390 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle plant. Currently, an environmental approval application is pending for a new combined-cycle facility located in Chile's Sixth Region. Additionally, in 2004, we
conducted several internal environmental audits at our facilities related to air, water, solids and environmental operating management to verify compliance and improve operating efficiency.

In order to comply with restrictions on atmospheric sulfur dioxide levels in Chile, we operate our thermoelectric facilities with coal that has a low sulfur content. In addition, our existing Renca thermoelectric facility operates using a special
fuel oil due to restrictions on particulate emissions from that facility. Our policy is to seek to conduct our operations on an environmentally sound basis that is consistent with applicable laws. There are no material legal or administrative
proceedings pending against us with respect to any environmental matter, and we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Colombian Regulation

In Colombia, Law 99, known as the Environmental Law, created the Colombian Ministry of the Environment in 1993. This law requires that projects that affect the land or impact the environment must obtain a license from the Colombian Ministry of the
Environment. While regional environmental authorities can issue licenses for generation projects with capacity of less than 100 MW, only the Colombian Ministry of the Environment has the authority to issue licenses for the construction of
large-scale generation or transmission projects. Our subsidiary Chivor initiated operations in 1977, prior to implementation of the environmental law. The Environmental Law also provides that energy generators whose nominal installed capacity
exceeds 10,000 kW must transfer a portion of their gross self-generation sales to municipalities and local environmental authorities.

Argentine Regulation

There are several environmental laws in Argentina that affect the electric sector. The recent General National Environmental Law, Law No. 25,675 promulgated in 2002, establishes a general outline for environmental protection and mandates the
submission of environmental impact studies prior to the initiation of construction of new projects, among other provisions. The Electric Regulatory Framework Law, Law No. 24,065, provides the ENRE with the power to protect the environment in
relation to the construction and operation of electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities. In addition to environmental regulations at the federal level, provinces may establish new rules or rules that supplement the federal
policies. Resolution No. 555/01 issued by the ENRE requires all members of the Mercado Eléctrico Mayorista, or the Electric Wholesale Market's or MEM, to implement and certify environmental management systems based on the environmental
certification ISO 14,001. TermoAndes' initial environmental management system audit was approved in April 2003, and the final audit for certification was approved in July 2003.

The Dominican Republic Regulation

The Environmental and Natural Resources Law was adopted on August 18, 2000 in order to prevent, regulate and control any activity that causes the deterioration of the environment, pollutes ecosystems, degrades, changes or destroys the natural
environment. This same law created and appointed the Dominican Ministry of the Environment, whose functions include: (i) control and prevention of environmental pollution from emission sources and (ii) compliance with environmental standards and
regulations by all human settlements, mining activities, industrial activities, tourism and transportation and any activities or services that generate direct or indirect environmental damage.

In order to assure the enforcement of the policies, programs and projects related to the environment and natural resources, the Environmental Management and Natural Resources National System, or Environmental Management Authority, was created. The
Environmental Management Authority is in charge of issuing environmental permits and licenses. The Environmental and Natural Resources Law states that every installation established before the law was adopted must obtain an environmental permit. The
law also states that, in order to prevent atmospheric pollution, the Dominican Ministry of the Environment will regulate gas emissions from power generators, boilers, internal combustion engines and industrial activities.

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

This section is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of the trends and significant changes in our results of operations and financial condition. Our historical results may not be indicative of our future performance. The
forward-looking statements contained in this section are subject to a variety of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. Although we believe that in making any such statements our
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statement may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected.

Overview

Table of Contents

Our principal business and that of the majority of our consolidated subsidiaries and equity-method investees is the generation and sale of electricity. The most significant variables affecting our results are the prices of energy and capacity,
weather conditions, prices and availability of fuels and foreign exchange variations in the countries in which we operate.

We are the second largest electricity generation group in Chile in terms of operating revenue and generating capacity with an installed capacity of 2,428 MW, composed of 2,157 MW of thermal and 271 MW of hydro generating capacity. We are the
largest thermal generator in Chile, and we serve both the SIC and the SING. Through various subsidiaries and equity-method investees, we own a dam-based hydroelectric plant in Colombia with a total nominal operating capacity of 1,000 MW (Chivor); a
combined-cycle natural gas-fired unit with 643 MW of installed capacity in Argentina (TermoAndes), connected to the SING by a 345 kV transmission line of 420 km, 140 km of which are owned by AES Gener S.A. and 280 km are owned by InterAndes; a 25%
interest in a thermoelectric generation facility located in the Dominican Republic with approximately 586.5 MW of installed capacity (Itabo); and a 13% interest in a natural gas transportation company in Chile and Argentina (GasAndes Chile and
GasAndes Argentina). The following table presents the percentage of revenues contributed by each of the different markets in which we operate and the percentage of sales of energy to regulated and unregulated customers and spot sales for the years
ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The SIC, SING and Colombia categories are composed of revenue from sales of energy and capacity in the respective electric market and the other income category is composed of revenue from other electric
services, fuel sales and miscellaneous items.

|Unregulated       |  | 44%  |  | 44%  |  | 35% 
|Spot Sales        |  | 7%   |  | 6%   |  | 11% 

Our largest customers in Chile are two distribution companies, Chilectra S.A. and Chilquinta Energía S.A., operating in the SIC and Minera Escondida, operating in the SING.

Most of our sales in the spot markets are in the SING as a result of production from subsidiary TermoAndes' combined-cycle plant. In normal years, in the SIC, we become a spot purchaser of electricity from other generation companies during
relatively wet conditions, while spot purchases of electricity decline in periods of low water conditions.

In Chile, the amount of our capacity that is contracted or left uncommitted to be sold at spot prices is critical to our profitability. The desired level of contractual commitments depends on our estimation of demand, based on standard economic
theory, node prices and system marginal cost using dynamic programming models. Historically, this strategy has led us to enter into long term contracts for our most efficient units and to reserve our less efficient units for sales in the spot
market. According to our current level of contracted capacity, in case of a dry year, we may be adversely affected as we would generate electricity at a higher cost and buy energy at higher prices.

The introduction of natural gas as a source of fuel for electric generation in Chile in the SIC in 1997 and in the SING in 1999, with the construction of the pipelines which transport natural gas from Argentina to Chile, led to a significant
technological change in the industry, reducing energy prices and the country's reliance on hydrological conditions. However, during 2004, unexpected restrictions in the supply of natural gas from Argentina resulted in higher energy prices and higher
dispatch levels for our thermoelectric plants than in previous years. In particular, these curtailments led to increased levels of production by our Ventanas plant in the SIC and our Norgener plant in the SING. Additionally, it resulted in the
operation of Eléctrica Santiagos combined cycle plant with diesel oil for approximately 62 hours during 2004.

We expect energy demand in Chile to continue to grow at a rate exceeding the growth rate of Chiles gross domestic product and our expansion strategy is based on this expected demand growth. As such, we plan to increase our installed
generating capacity in the SIC and are currently evaluating projects of diverse technologies to meet demand, including those technologies that may be developed in response to the Argentine gas crisis.

A. Operating Results

The following discussion is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this annual report. We prepare our audited consolidated financial statements in
accordance with Chilean GAAP, which differs in certain important respects from U.S. GAAP. See note 37 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements for a summary of the principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Unless
otherwise specified, financial data is presented in constant Chilean pesos of December 31, 2004 purchasing power.

An understanding of our financial condition and the results of our operations for the periods discussed in this annual report requires an understanding of the regulatory structure for the production and pricing of electricity in Chile, Colombia,
Argentina and the Dominican Republic, the principal countries in which we and our equity-method investees operate. Factors such as the method of determining the dispatch of generating units in a system, the pricing of electricity sales to regulated
and unregulated customers and in the spot market, the significance of a generation company's mix of contract and spot market sales, the effect of a company's mix of hydro and thermal generation and the effect of hydrological conditions on operations
are important factors in determining financial results. Accordingly, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the discussion of these and related matters that appear elsewhere in this annual report under the following headings:

- "Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewElectricity Generation in Chile";
- "Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewElectricity Generation in Colombia";
- "Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewElectricity Generation in Argentina";
- "Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewElectricity Generation in the Dominican Republic"; and
- "Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewRegulation of Electricity Generation in Chile, Colombia, Argentina and the Dominican Republic".

Our TermoAndes and InterAndes facilities are included in Chilean operations, given that currently they receive revenue only from the Chilean market. The results of our Chilean operations are separated between the two primary electric systems, the
SIC and SING. Colombian operations correspond to our subsidiary Chivor.

2004 Compared to 2003

As an electricity generation company with our primary market located in Chile, our operating revenues are relatively stable and generally are only subject to significant variations under extreme hydrological conditions. Our primary revenue source
comes from our two principal products, electrical energy and capacity, which are sold both under contracts to regulated and unregulated customers and in the spot market.

For the year ending December 31, 2004, our consolidated operating revenue totaled Ch$390,813 million, Ch$19,423 million higher than the revenue of Ch$371,390 million recorded during the same period in 2003. This increase is mainly due to higher revenues of:

- Ch$23,207 million from regulated customers, Chilectra and Chilquinta, due to higher volume sold and higher regulated prices,
- Ch$14,220 million from spot market sales principally as a result of higher generation, and
- Ch$4,170 from fuel, services and other sales.

This revenue increase was partially offset by lower revenue recorded by:

- lower sales by Chivor of Ch$7,333 million related to the reduction in spot and frequency regulation sales,
- lower sales to unregulated customer Escondida of Ch$5,680 million related to the new contractual terms effective since July 2004, and
- lower energy and capacity sales to other customers of Ch$9,162 million.

The contribution to total sales in the different markets where AES Gener operates was as follows: SIC 50%, SING 21%, Colombia 19%, other electric services 9% and fuel and other sales 1%.

Table of Contents

Revenue from the sale of energy and capacity in the Chilean electric sector increased by Ch$19,631 million to Ch$279,487 for the year ended December 31, 2004 from Ch$259,856 million for the same period in 2003 as
explained below.

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC)

Physical sales of electricity in the SIC during 2004 increased by 11% from 6,679 GWh for the year ending December 31, 2003 to 7,414 GWh for the year ending December 31, 2004 as a result of higher sales to regulated
clients (increase of 664 GWh), the CDEC-SIC (increase of 127 GWh) and mandatory sales to distribution companies without purchase contracts (increase of 14 GWh). This increase was offset by a reduction in sales to unregulated clients (decrease of 74
GWh), principally due to the expiration of the contract with Hidroeléctrica Guardia Vieja S.A.

In 2004, revenue generated by the electricity business sales in the SIC increased to Ch$196,010 million, which is Ch$24,210 million higher than the Ch$171,800 million registered during 2003. This increase is mainly
explained by higher energy sales revenue of Ch$23,841 million in 2004 as a consequence of higher physical energy sales, which increased by 735 GWh, primarily related to the Argentine natural gas curtailments which reduced the production of the
systems combined-cycle units and increased the production of other thermoelectric units, such as our coal plants. The average price was also 8.3% higher than in the same period in 2003. In 2004, energy sales revenue totaled Ch$142,035,
compared to Ch$118,194 in the same period in 2003. Capacity sales revenue also increased by Ch$368 million from Ch$53,607 million in the year ending December 31, 2003 to Ch$53,975 million in the same period in 2004, as explained by the increase of
1,268 MW in the quantity sold which was offset by a 9% decrease in the average sales price.

Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande (SING)

Physical energy sales in the SING during the year ended December 31, 2004 were higher than the level recorded in the same period in 2003, increasing from 2,817 GWh in 2003 to 2,851 GWh in 2004, as a result of higher
sales to the Zaldívar, Lomas Bayas and Escondida mining companies (an increase of 59 GWh) which was partially offset by lower sales to the CDEC-SING (a decrease of 25 GWh).

Revenue generated by AES Gener and Norgener's operations in the SING decreased Ch$4,579 million from Ch$88,056 million for the year ending December 31, 2003 to Ch$83,477 million for the year ending December 31, 2004.
This variation is explained mainly by the decrease in capacity sales revenue of Ch$13,765 million and was offset by an increase in energy sales revenue of Ch$9,187 million. Capacity sales revenue decreased, when compared to 2003, as a result of
higher revenue from the firm capacity settlement which was received during February 2003 of Ch$2,422 million and lower capacity sales revenue in 2004 of Ch$10,975 million associated with the reduction in the average sales price, despite the increase
of 319 MW in the volume sold, which is principally explained by the new terms in the contract with Escondida which became effective in July 2004. The increase in energy sales is due to a higher average sales price.

Colombia

Sistema Interconectado Nacional Colombiano (SIN)

Chivor's revenue for the year ending December 31, 2004 decreased by Ch$7,334 million from Ch$80,682 million to Ch$73,348 million as a consequence of lower spot and frequency regulation sales equal to Ch$8,706 million
compared to the same period in 2003, offset by higher contractual revenue of Ch$1,373 million due to an increase in the sales price.

Additionally, physical energy sales in 2004 decreased by 380 GWh with respect to sales in the same period in 2003, principally due to lower contractual and frequency regulation sales. In Colombian pesos, the average contract sales price increased by
8% from Col$74/kWh (US$25.6/MWh) to Col$80/kWh (US$30.5/MWh) and the average spot price also decreased by 4% from Col$67/kWh (US$23.3/MWh) to Col$64/kWh (US$24.5/MWh) during 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Other Revenue

Other revenue from electricity related business increased by Ch$2,953 million, from Ch$430 million for the year ending December 31, 2003 to Ch$3,383 million for the year ending December 31, 2004, principally due to
higher revenue related to the renegotiation of the energy transmission contract with Escondida.

Revenue from other businesses for the year ending December 31, 2004 was Ch$34,645 million, representing an increase equal to Ch$4,171 million compared to Ch$30,474 million recorded for the year ending December 31, 2003.
This increase is explained in part by higher overall coal sales of Ch$2,912 million as a result of higher coal sales to third parties of

Ch$6,216, which was offset by lower coal sales of Ch$3,304 million to equity-method investee, Eléctrica Guacolda. This related company purchased coal directly from suppliers during 2004, while in 2003 it assigned fuel purchases through bid
processes, some of which were awarded to AES Gener. Additionally, other businesses revenue increased as a result of higher gas sales to third parties of Ch$1,846 million and higher miscellaneous revenue in the amount of Ch$1,265 million. Lower steam
sales of Ch$1,853 million partially offset the overall other business revenue.

2003 Compared to 2002

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased by Ch$12,223 million to Ch$371,390 million in 2003 from Ch$383,613 million in 2002. This decrease was mainly due to:

- a Ch$3,135 million decrease in revenue from energy and capacity sales in Chile, attributable to higher capacity reconciliation settlement payments received during the first quarter of 2002,
- a Ch$6,063 million decrease in revenue from fuel sales, consulting services and other sales to third parties, and
- a Ch$3,025 million decrease in revenue in the Colombian electricity sales market.

Although U.S. dollar-denominated revenue in Colombia increased significantly, reductions in the exchange rate resulted in decreased peso-equivalent revenue. Electrical capacity reconciliation settlement payments are determined by the CDECs in each
of the SIC and the SING at the beginning of each year with respect to the prior year, may be positive or negative in any given year and are applied to revenue in the year of determination.

In 2003, the contributions to total sales in the different markets in which we operate were as follows: SIC 46%, SING 24%, Colombia 22%, and fuel sales and technical assistance to third parties 8%.

Chile

Our revenue from the sale of energy and capacity in the Chilean electricity sector decreased by Ch$2,287 million to Ch$259,856 million in 2003 from Ch$262,143 million in 2002 for the reasons described below.

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC)

Revenue from our electricity operations in the SIC were Ch$171,800 million in 2003, as compared to Ch$166,344 million in 2002, primarily due to an increase in capacity sales. Revenues from capacity sales increased by Ch$4,267 million in 2003
primarily as the result of higher prices, as physical sales of capacity remained virtually unchanged in 2003. Revenues from energy sales in the SIC increased by Ch$1,189 million in 2003 primarily due to an increase in sales to distribution companies
without long term contacts and a 1% increase in physical sales of electricity, which was partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in the average sale price per unit sold. The increase in physical sales was due to increased sales to Chilectra of 188 GWh,
partially offset by decreased sales to Chilquinta of 81 GWh.

Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande (SING)

Revenue generated by our activities in the SING decreased by Ch$7,743 million to Ch$88,056 million in 2003 from Ch$95,799 million in 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in capacity revenue of Ch$5,909 million, which resulted
primarily from the Ch$10,013 million net effect of an extraordinary capacity reconciliation settlement for the years ended 2000 and 2001 that positively affected our operating income in the first quarter of 2002. The reconciliation settlement
adjusted 2000 and 2001 capacity payment distributions among SING generators, and it is not expected to occur in the future. Energy sales also decreased by Ch$1,849 million in 2003 due to a decrease in the average sale price.

Colombia

Table of Contents

Chivors revenue decreased by Ch$3,059 million to Ch$80,682 million in 2003 from Ch$83,741 million in 2002, mainly due to exchange rate declines. Although U.S. dollar-denominated revenues in Colombia increased significantly, peso-equivalent
revenue decreased. U.S. revenue denominated in dollars but paid in Colombian pesos increased, mainly as a result of higher revenue from services provided for transmission frequency regulation. This higher revenue was partially offset by a 523 GWh
decrease in physical sales in 2003, mainly due to lower physical sales on the spot market. Although in Colombian pesos the average spot market price increased to Col$67/kWh in 2003 from Col$49/kWh in 2002, and the average sale price to contracted
customers increased to Col$74/kWh in 2003 from Col$65/kWh in 2002, these increases were insufficient to offset the overall decrease in physical sales. Average Colombian peso sale prices increased in 2003 due to the effects of the El
Niño weather phenomenon, which caused a reduction in hydrological resources in almost the entire Colombian system.

Other Revenue

Our other revenue is comprised mainly of coal and natural gas sales to third parties and steam sales to industrial clients through our subsidiary, Energía Verde. Other revenue decreased by Ch$7,340 million to Ch$30,474 million in 2003 from
Ch$37,814 million in 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a Ch$8,021 million decrease in coal sales to industrial customers combined with a Ch$1,763 million decrease in sales to Guacolda. Partially offsetting this reduction was an increase in
sales from other services of Ch$2,444 million. In terms of sales volume, tonnage decreased by approximately 132 thousand metric tons, as a result of lower sales to industrial clients. Large volumes of coal are sold in bidding processes. Therefore,
fluctuations in quantities sold may vary from year to year.

2004 Compared to 2003

For the year ending December 31, 2004, operating costs increased by 9.3% (Ch$22,357 million). As discussed below, this increase was principally related to the increase in costs associated with fuel consumption and sales, transmission
system tolls and other operating costs, which was partially offset by lower costs related to energy and capacity purchases.

Variable Costs

Our variable costs consist primarily of purchases of electricity and capacity on the spot market, fuel consumption, mainly natural gas by Eléctrica Santiago and TermoAndes, and purchases of coal by AES Gener S.A.
and Norgener. From 2003 to 2004, our variable costs increased by Ch$29,282 million, as explained by: the increase in fuel consumption of Ch$30,359 million associated with higher generation from AES Gener and its subsidiaries' thermoelectric plants,
which is primarily due to dryer hydrology and lower natural gas availability, higher fuel sale costs of Ch$2,688 million and higher transmission costs and other electric business operating costs of Ch$4,608 million. This increase was partially
offset by lower energy purchases of Ch$3,344 million and lower capacity purchases of Ch$5,029 million.

Chile

Thermoelectric generation by AES Gener and its Chilean subsidiaries totaled 6,387 GWh during 2004 as compared to 4,956 GWh during the previous year. The increase in generation is due to lower hydrological reserves and
lower gas availability during 2004. AES Gener and its subsidiaries' total generation (thermoelectric and hydroelectric) in the SIC and SING was 7,812 GWh, compared with 6,371 GWh in 2003.

Variable costs for our Chilean Operations consist primarily of purchases of energy and capacity on the spot market in the SIC and the SING and fuel consumption. Our energy purchase costs in the year ending December 31,
2004 in Chile increased by Ch$6,863 million compared to the same period in the previous year. In the SIC, purchases increased by Ch$8,777 as a result of an average purchase price 28.6% higher than in 2003, which was principally associated with lower
hydroelectric generation during the first few months of the year and natural gas curtailments. Partially offsetting this increase was a 55 GWh reduction in the volume purchased. In the SING, energy purchase costs decreased by Ch$1,913 million due to
a reduction of 296 GWh in the volume purchased, although the average purchase price was 29% higher than in 2003.

Our capacity purchase costs in Chile decreased by Ch$5,029 million. In the SIC, these costs decreased by Ch$6,674 million when compared to the same period in 2003, as a consequence of the Ch$8,016 million reduction in
firm capacity reconciliation payments for the period from 2000 to 2004 based on the resolution by the Experts Panel. This cost reduction was partially compensated by higher purchases of Ch$1,342 as a result of an increase in the average purchase
price, despite a reduction in the quantity purchased. In the SING, capacity purchases increased by Ch$1,644 million as a result of the increase of Ch$2,711 million in Norgener's firm capacity reconciliation payments for 2003 and 2004. Partially
offsetting this increase was a reduction of Ch$1,067 million in capacity purchases associated with a reduction in the quantity purchased.

Colombia

Generation during the year ending December 31, 2004 was 4,229 GWh as compared to 3,818 GWh during the same period in 2003. This increase in generation resulted from the implementation of a new commercial policy which
improved the management Chivor's reservoir.

Variable costs for our Colombian Operations consist primarily of purchases of energy on the spot market. In 2004, variable operating costs decreased by Ch$9,149 million, from Ch$37,931 million to Ch$28,782 million
principally as a result of the decrease in energy purchase costs of Ch$10,207 million, driven by lower energy purchases of 864 GWh despite an average energy price in Colombian pesos approximately 3% lower than in the same period in 2003. However,
costs related to frequency regulation and other services increased by Ch$1,058 million.

Fixed Costs

Fixed costs decreased by Ch$6,925 million from Ch$70,538 million in 2003 to Ch$63,613 million in 2004, mainly due to lower depreciation and production costs as a result of a lower exchange rate effect related to foreign
subsidiaries' costs.

2003 Compared to 2002

Operating expenses increased by Ch$1,259 million to Ch$241,197 million in 2003 from Ch$239,938 million in 2002 primarily as a result of an increase in variable costs partially offset by a decrease in fixed costs, as explained in greater detail
below. Costs of our subsidiaries in Colombia and Argentina are recorded in accordance with Boletín Técnico No. 64 of the Colegio de Contadores de Chile, or the Chilean Accounting Board, which requires
certain investments to be accounted for in U.S. dollars.

Variable Costs

Variable costs increased by Ch$3,853 million to Ch$170,659 million in 2003 from Ch$166,806 million in 2002, primarily as the result of a Ch$9,122 million increase in electricity purchases and a Ch$8,327 million increase in fuel consumption,
partially offset by a Ch$9,289 million decrease in the cost of fuel sales and a decrease in capacity purchases of Ch$1,163 million.

Table of Contents

Variable costs for our Chilean Operations increased by Ch$5,767 million to Ch$132,728 million in 2003 from Ch$126,961 million in 2002.

Energy purchases in the SIC increased by Ch$7,232 million in 2003 as compared to 2002 due to an increase in the average purchase price partially offset by a 2.3%, or 690 GWh, decrease in the amount of energy purchased. During 2003, our thermal
generation in the SIC increased to 2,925 GWh from 2,146 GWh during 2002, but was partially offset by 136 GWh decrease in hydroelectric generation in 2003, mainly due to the maintenance and repair of our Alfalfal plant. Capacity purchases in the SIC
decreased by Ch$383 million in 2003 as compared to 2002 due to the positive net effect of capacity reconciliation payments and a 4% (245 MW) decrease in amounts purchased.

Energy purchases in the SING increased by Ch$1,681 million and 235 GWh in 2003 as compared to 2002, mainly as a result of the unexpected generation of Norgeners units in 2002. In the SING, net generation (gross generation less own
consumption) decreased by 20 GWh to 2,031 GWh in 2003 from 2,051 GWh in 2002. This decrease was caused by lower generation of Norgener, which was partially offset by the 180 GWh increase in generation by our TermoAndes plant due to a regulatory
change in June 2003 that increased the maximum level of dispatch for combined-cycle units operating in the SING from 220 MW to 240 MW during peak periods. The increase was partially offset by a 155 GWh decrease in generation by Norgener, which
substantially increased its generation during the second quarter of 2002 as a result of the interruption of a natural gas pipeline supplying northern Chile. Capacity purchases in the SING decreased by Ch$819 million in 2003 as compared to 2002 due
to the positive net effect of Norgeners capacity reconciliation settlements and a decrease in the average purchase price.

Fuel consumption increased by Ch$8,327 million in 2003 as compared to 2002 due to an 804 GWh increase in thermal generation, primarily as the result of a 541 GWh increase in generation by Eléctrica Santiago due to higher requirements imposed
by the SIC.

Colombia

Variable costs for our Colombian Operations decreased by Ch$1,913 million to Ch$37,931 million in 2003 from Ch$39,844 million in 2002, mainly due to lower costs of technical assistance, connection costs and expenses related to an environmental tax
(Law No. 99) that is imposed on the amounts of energy generated during the year. A 193 GWh increase in energy purchases in 2003 was partially offset by a decrease in exchange rates resulting in lower peso-equivalent amounts.

Fixed Costs

Our fixed costs consist primarily of maintenance costs and salaries of technical personnel. Fixed costs decreased by Ch$2,595 million to Ch$70,538 million in 2003, from Ch$73,133 million in 2002. The decrease was the result of a decrease in
depreciation of Ch$4,187 million, mainly due to the exchange rate effect on our foreign subsidiaries, Chivor and TermoAndes, partially offset by an increase in operating and maintenance fixed costs of Ch$1,592 million.

Administrative and Selling Costs

2004 Compared to 2003

Our administrative and selling costs consist primarily of administrative personnel salaries, services rendered by third parties and insurance premiums. Administrative and sales costs decreased by Ch$11 million from Ch$17,491 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 to Ch$17,480 million for the same period in 2004. This decrease principally results from lower insurance, third party services, computer systems and communication costs that in the aggregate amounted Ch$3,147 million, which
was partially offset by higher wages, social benefits, taxes and other costs together totaling Ch$3,136 million.

2003 Compared to 2002

Administrative and selling expenses decreased by Ch$4,158 million to Ch$17,491 million in 2003 from Ch$21,649 million in 2002. This decrease was mainly due to a Ch$4,273 million decrease in services rendered by third parties and in other items relating to legal and advisory fees incurred in connection with Chivor's debt refinancing during 2002.
This reduction was offset by a Ch$734 million increase in insurance costs and information technology systems and communications expenses.

Operating Income

2004 Compared to 2003

For the year ending December 31, 2004, AES Gener reported positive consolidated operating income of Ch$109,778 million which was Ch$2,924 million lower than the consolidated amount of Ch$112,702 million recorded in the same period in 2003. This
difference is principally explained by the higher dispatch of AES Gener and its subsidiaries' thermoelectric plants which increased fuel consumption costs. This decrease in operating income was partially offset by higher revenue received from
regulated customers, the net effect of the firm capacity reconciliation payments, the transmission contract with Escondida in the amount of Ch$6,439 million and the income of Ch$3,211 million from the settlement agreement reached between
Eléctrica Santiago and General Electric related to the termination of the construction contract between the parties.

2003 Compared to 2002

Operating income decreased by Ch$9,324 million to Ch$112,702 million in 2003 from Ch$122,026 million in 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a higher capacity settlement of Ch$8,426 million in 2002, as a result of the extraordinary impact on
operating income in the first quarter of 2002 resulting from a Ch$10,013 million capacity reconciliation settlement in the SING for 2000 and 2001. In addition, in 2003 there was an increase in the average energy purchase price in the SIC and higher
fuel consumption, offset by higher income from capacity sales.

2004 Compared to 2003

Total non-operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased by Ch$10,989 million with respect to the amount recorded for the same period in 2003. This variation is explained principally by lower financial income of Ch$17,646 million
related to the accrual of interest on an intercompany account receivable between AES Gener and its parent company, Cachagua, which was repaid on February 27, 2004. Other negative effects contributing to the decrease in non-operating income included
a reduction of Ch$818 million principally associated with a write-off of debt recorded by TermoAndes in 2003. Offsetting these reductions was higher non-operating income of Ch$6,657 million as result of the positive effect of Ch$5,470 million
related to sale of the Nacimiento steam plant and the Colombian coal mine Carbones del Cesar in the third quarter of 2004, reversal of Chivor's income tax provision of Ch$1,162 million, and other positive effects of Ch$843 million.

2003 Compared to 2002

Our non-operating income decreased by Ch$17,886 million to Ch$26,309 million in 2003 from Ch$44,195 million in 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a Ch$13,860 million decrease in financial income, a decrease in exchange rates and a decrease in
interest income related to the intercompany loan between AES Gener and Cachagua. On May 15, 2003, the interest rate of the account was reduced from 21.14% to 10%. Furthermore, the outstanding balance of US$310 million as of June 30, 2003 was reduced
to US$288 million as the result of an amortization payment from Cachagua with the proceeds from our dividend payment on August 5, 2003. As of December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance of this intercompany account, including accrued interest, was
US$294 million. Our other non-operating income decreased by Ch$4,026 million, primarily as a result of Ch$2,496 million in revenues that we received from the sale of our headquarters and other properties in 2002.

2004 Compared to 2003

For the year ending December 31, 2004, total non-operating expenses decreased by Ch$1,086 million compared to the same period in 2003 due to lower financial expenses of Ch$3,419 million which was offset by higher
non-operating expenses of Ch$2,333 million as set forth below. The decrease in financial expenses is related to our lower level of indebtedness as a result of the financial restructuring carried out in the first half of 2004.

Non-operating expenses in 2004 increased as a result of higher losses in forward contracts and swap agreements of Ch$3,793 million, an increase in amortization of Ch$2,627 million associated with the placement expenses of new debt, an increase in
the provision associated with the premium for non-conversion of bonds of Ch$1,788 million, a new provision related to litigation with Cordex Petroleums Inc. of Ch$1,282 million and other non-operating expenses of Ch$887 million. This loss was
partially compensated by lower provisions related to the retirement of fixed assets, materials and other items of Ch$3,904 million, a reduction of Ch$1,464 million in the provision related to the interest rate swap previously held by subsidiaries
TermoAndes and InterAndes (see Liquidity and Capital ResourcesBalance Sheet Restructuring) and a decrease in other non-operating expenses of Ch$2,677 million.

2003 Compared to 2002

Our financial expenses decreased by Ch$19,051 million to Ch$56,227 million in 2003 from Ch$75,278 million in 2002, mainly due to the lower interest rate applied to Chivor's credit obligations and debt amortizations since December 2002 and to lower
interest rates applied to our credit obligations with financial institutions, including Energy Trade, Norgener, TermoAndes and InterAndes.

Our other non-operating expenses in 2003 decreased by Ch$14,742 million to Ch$16,169 million in 2003 from Ch$30,911 million in 2002. This decrease was due to provisions and losses of Ch$7,308 million recorded during 2002 for the sales of our
subsidiaries, Oil Gener, Carbones del Cesar, Ecogener and Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A. and our Fell Block assets a decrease of Ch$3,685 million in provisions for the non-conversion premium of our convertible notes as a result of lower exchange
rates in 2003 as compared to 2002 and a reduction related to the write of debt associated with sale of Hidroeléctica Piedra del Aguila S.A. in Argentina in 2002 and other miscellaneous expenses of Ch$4,760. These amounts were partially offset
by provisions of Ch$1,463 million in 2003 relating TermoAndes and InterAndes interest rate swap agreements. As of December 31, 2003, the credit was overhedged and, according to Chilean accounting rules, we needed to recognize any gain or loss

|(1) | As of January 1, 2004, we changed the definition of equity-method investees to comply with SVS Official Circular 1,697. At December 31, 2003, equity-method investees were companies in which we had an ownership interest between 10% and 50%. At
December 31, 2004, equity-method investees were companies in which we had ownership participation between 20% and 50%. Therefore, the December 31, 2004 data may not be comparable to prior periods.

2004 Compared to 2003

The contribution from investments in related companies decreased by Ch$5,243 million, principally as a result of a negative variation in the net income of Guacolda, which was offset by a positive variation in the net income of Itabo,
and the different accounting criteria applied to our investments in Gasoducto GasAndes and Gasoducto GasAndes Argentina, which reclassified our ownership interest in these companies from equity-method investees to investments in
other companies.

For the year ending December 31, 2004, Guacolda registered net income of Ch$5,453 million which negatively compares with net income recorded in the same period in 2003 in the amount of Ch$16,195 million. Operating
income recorded a negative variation of Ch$3,157 million, mainly due to higher fuel consumption costs of Ch$4,351 million and higher energy purchase costs of Ch$1,399 million, which were partially compensated by higher energy and other revenue of
Ch$1,399 million. Additionally, non-operating income decreased from positive earnings of Ch$3,513 million in 2003 to a loss of Ch$5,155 million in the same period in 2004, as a consequence of a higher exchange rate effect of Ch$8,392 million.

Itabo, in which AES Gener has 25% ownership participation, registered net income of Ch$7,221 million in 2004, as compared with net income of Ch$4,600 million in 2003. This variation is a result of an increase in
operating income of Ch$692 million, higher non-operating income of Ch$706 million and a decrease in income taxes of Ch$1,173.

2003 Compared to 2002

Income from equity-method investees increased by Ch$10,706 million to Ch$9,291 million in 2003 from a loss of Ch$1,415 million in 2002 principally due to a Ch$7,259 million increase in equity income from Guacolda and a Ch$3,030 million increase in
equity income from Itabo.

During 2003, Guacolda recorded profits of Ch$16,195 million, while in 2002 it recorded profits of Ch$1,678 million. This difference was mainly due to a Ch$23,890 million increase in non-operating income resulting from the positive effects of
exchange rates as a result of the reduction its U.S. dollar-denominated debt and a price-level restatement of Ch$22,576 million as compared to 2002 explained by the variance in the Chilean Consumer Price Index, or CPI factor, discussed below.
Guacolda's operating income decreased by Ch$7,766 million in 2003 primarily due to a Ch$2,870 million increase in fuel consumption and a Ch$1,568 million increase in energy and capacity purchases.

Itabo recorded profits of Ch$4,600 million in 2003 as compared to losses of Ch$7,516 million in 2002. The improvement was primarily due to a Ch$5,414 million increase in revenues due to more favorable energy and capacity sales agreements in terms
of both volumes of physical sales and prices. In addition, Itabo sold electricity to the spot market in 2003 as a result of the higher availability and higher dispatch of its steam-coal units during the year.

Price-Level Restatement

We are required under Chilean GAAP to restate non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity and income and expense accounts to reflect changes in the CPI from the date they were acquired or incurred to the end of the
period. During inflationary periods, monetary items generate a gain or loss in purchasing power depending upon the currency in which they are denominated. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are restated so as to correct the effect of inflation and
remain constant in real terms from period to period. Under Chilean GAAP, liabilities in foreign currency or denominated in UFs are considered to be non-monetary, and all resulting foreign exchange adjustments and indexation are included in the
price-level adjustment account. See note 1(b) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are generally restated using the CPI published by the Chilean National Institute of Statistics. Monetary assets and liabilities are not adjusted, because their amounts are fixed by
contract or otherwise in terms of currency regardless of changes in specific prices or in the general price level. Holders of monetary assets and liabilities lose or gain general purchasing power during periods of inflation. Monetary assets and
liabilities in foreign currency are stated at closing exchange rates and are affected by the relationship between local inflation and the exchange rate of the local currency with the U.S. dollar.

Net Non-Operating Loss

2004 Compared to 2003

Our non-operating loss of Ch$49,698 million in 2004 was Ch$1,044 million lower than the loss of Ch$50,742 million recorded in 2003. This variation is explained principally by a positive exchange rate effect of Ch$16,605
million, higher non-operating income of Ch$6,657 million related to asset sales and lower interest expenses of Ch$3,419 million. Offsetting this decrease was lower financial income of Ch$17,646 million related to the intercompany account receivable
with Cachagua which was repaid in 2004, lower earnings by equity-method investees and related companies of Ch$5,489 million and higher other non-operating expenses of Ch$ 2,333 million.

2003 Compared to 2002

We had a non-operating loss of Ch$50,742 million in 2003, which was Ch$31,226 million lower than the Ch$81,968 million non-operating loss in 2002. The decrease was mainly due to a Ch$19,051 million decrease in interest expenses and a reduction of
Ch$14,742 in other non-operating expenses. In addition, financial income decreased by Ch$13,860,  Offsetting these reductions were higher contributions to net income from equity-method investees of Ch$10,706 million and a positive price-level
restatement of Ch$4,613.

Income Taxes

2004 Compared to 2003

Income tax increased by Ch$13,628 million from Ch$4,867 million in the year ending December 31, 2003 to Ch$18,495 million in 2004. This increase is mainly due to higher income tax of Chivor due to the 14% appreciation
of the Colombian peso during 2004 compared to a 3% appreciation in the same period in 2003, resulting in the generation of lower tax losses in U.S. dollars as Chivors tax loss carryforwards were extinguished. Additionally, higher income from
the sale of assets by Energía Verde in 2004 also increased income tax.

2003 Compared to 2002

A higher income tax provision of Ch$4,867 million was recorded in 2003 as compared to a provision of Ch$1,705 million in 2002. This higher provision in 2003 relates to a lower tax loss carryforwards due to a lower peso devaluation of 6.1% in
compared to 17.4% in 2002

Cash Flow Analysis

As an electricity generation company with our primary market located in Chile, our operational cash flows are relatively stable and generally are only subject to significant variations under extreme hydrological conditions. Our primary operating
revenue comes from our two principal products, electrical energy and capacity, which are both sold under contracts to regulated and unregulated customers and on the spot market. Since The AES Corporation acquired us at the end of 2000, two
significant cash flow items related to asset sales and personnel benefits as a result of a staff reduction were recorded in 2001 and 2002 as part of a restructuring plan that has been completed. Additionally, since that time, one of our principal
objectives has been the restructuring of our outstanding debt. In terms of our long-term financing cash flow, in 2004 we successfully completed a major balance sheet restructuring which is detailed below.

Balance Sheet Restructuring

In connection with our recent debt restructuring plan, on November 30, 2004, Chivor completed a US$253 million refinancing. As a part of the refinancing, Chivor completed the sale of US$170 million of 9.75% Senior
Secured Notes due in 2014 pursuant to Rule 144A Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). At the same time, Chivor also closed a local peso-denominated syndicated Colombian bank facility for approximately
US$83 million with a 7-year maturity and quarterly principal payments. Chivor used the net proceeds of the new notes, together with the net proceeds of the bank facility and available cash, to repay in full Chivors outstanding syndicated loan
facility of approximately US$260 million.

On November 26, 2004, Norgener refinanced a US$29 million supplier credit agreement with the proceeds from a US$29 million bank facility. This refinancing allowed Norgener to reduce interest expenses and to extend by
two years (to 2009) the final maturity of its obligations.

On June 19, 2004, we completed our capital increase represented by a total of 714,084,243 shares of common stock totaling Ch$62,268 million (the equivalent of US$98 million at the time the capital increase transactions occurred). Pursuant to the
capital increase, Inversiones Cachagua Limitada, or Cachagua, a 99.9% indirectly owned subsidiary of The AES Corporation, subscribed to 713,000,000 shares of our common stock on May 20, 2004, increasing its ownership from 98.65% to 98.79% .
Therefore, The AES Corporation is currently the owner of 98.79% of our total capital through Cachagua. The proceeds of the capital increase were used in part to fund a portion of the cash tender offers and note redemptions described below.

On April 16, 2004, we completed the restructuring of the debt of our Argentine subsidiaries, TermoAndes and InterAndes, as well as the termination of the interest rate swaps covering this debt. The lenders and swap counterparties received an
up-front payment that was funded with US$36.3 million of cash held in TermoAndes and InterAndes trust accounts and a cash contribution of US$25.7 million made by AES Gener. In exchange, the lenders and swap counterparties extended a new
loan to AES Gener to enable it to repurchase the original notes and repay the swap termination fee, the balance of which in each case was reduced by the up-front payment described above. The loan is comprised of two tranches, A and B, both of which
contain monthly principal and interest payments. Tranche A, in the amount of US$77.2 million, is related to the outstanding principal under the original notes and will be amortized from 2004 to 2010. Tranche B, in the amount of US$7.2 million, is
related to the mark-to-market amount for the terminated interest rate swap agreements and will be amortized from 2004 to 2007. The interest rate for both tranches is equal to LIBOR plus a variable spread which increases semiannually. Additionally,
the loan agreement provided that the remaining debt owed to Bank of America, in the amount of US$9.1 million, be repaid on June 30, 2004, which payment was made. As of December 31, 2004, we had US$77.2 million outstanding under both tranches of the
new loan.

On March 22, 2004, we consummated the issuance of US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior notes due 2014. The note offering was made only to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as
amended, and to persons outside the United States under and in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act, as amended. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement governing the notes, we subsequently filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, which was declared effective on November 24, 2004. Our offer to exchange the outstanding unregistered 7.50% senior notes due 2014 for a like principal amount of notes registered under the Securities
Act closed on January 21, 2005. In connection with this offer, we accepted tenders for an aggregate principal amount of US$399.6 million or 99.91% of our senior notes. As a result, the outstanding portion of Regulation S notes is US$0.4 million.

We also consummated three separate cash tender offers and/or called for redemptions of our US$200 million 61/2% Yankee notes due 2006, or Yankee notes, our US$73.9 million 6% U.S. convertible notes due 2005, or U.S.
convertible notes, and our US$402.7 million 6% Chilean convertible notes due 2005, or Chilean convertible notes. In connection with these offers, we accepted for payment tenders of approximately US$145.2 million in principal amount of Yankee notes
on February 27, 2004, representing 72.62% in aggregate principal amount of Yankee notes outstanding, and on April 2, 2004, approximately US$55.7 million in aggregate principal amount of U.S. convertible notes, representing 75.35% in aggregate
principal amount of U.S. convertible notes outstanding. In connection with our offer for the Chilean convertible notes, we repurchased approximately US$156.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Chilean convertible notes on March 24, 2004,
representing 38.9% in aggregate principal amount of Chilean convertible notes outstanding. On May 31, 2004, we redeemed the entire amount of our U.S. convertible notes and Chilean convertible notes outstanding after the completion of the tender
offers described above for approximately US$264.1 million.

During 2002, we paid off two short-term revolving credit facilities, a US$30 million loan from Citibank and a US$10 million loan from the Royal Bank of Canada. Additionally, we renegotiated a put option held by Bank of America related to the
TermoAndes and InterAndes project. The construction of this project was financed in part through the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of US$257 million of notes. Bank of Americas put option permitted it to require us to purchase its
share of the notes representing a principal amount of US$82 million under certain defined circumstances. We successfully restructured this put option in 2002 and agreed with Bank of America to defer our repurchase obligations and agreed to purchase
a portion of those notes each quarter. As explained above, a final payment of US$9.1 million was made to Bank of America on June 30, 2004.

Our subsidiaries have also been successful in restructuring their debt obligations. ABN AMRO exercised a put option in June 2002 in connection with a loan granted to our subsidiary, Energy Trade and Finance Corporation, or Energy Trade, in the
amount of US$40 million. In July 2002, Energy Trade negotiated an agreement with ABN AMRO pursuant to which the put option was eliminated and a new payment schedule was established. Upon execution of the amendment, Energy Trade made a payment of
US$16 million, and it was agreed that the balance would be payable in six quarterly installments of US$4 million each. The loan was fully repaid on January 31, 2004.

2004 Compared to 2003

Total net cash flow for 2004 was positive in the amount of Ch$13,250 million, compared to the net cash flow for 2003, which was also positive in the amount of Ch$25,838 million. The difference of Ch$12,588 million
between the two periods relates to the financial restructuring process carried out by AES Gener which included repayment of the intercompany account receivable by parent company Cachagua, the early redemption of our convertible bonds and a
significant portion of our Yankee notes, the issuance of U.S. dollar senior notes with maturity in 2014, our capital increase and the refinancing of subsidiaries' TermoAndes and InterAndes' indebtedness.

In 2004, operating activities generated a positive cash flow of Ch$99,650 million, Ch$23,022 million less than the level obtained in 2003 of Ch$122,672 million, which is explained by: higher payments to suppliers and personnel of Ch$72,161 million,
higher interest of Ch$17,883 million during the period associated with the early debt redemptions and a decrease of Ch$2,179 million in other operating income. These outflows were partially offset by higher revenue of Ch$65,083 million in
collections from accounts receivable, Ch$1,187 million in lower expenses, Ch$2,152 million in lower taxes paid and Ch$779 million in dividends received.

Financial activities during 2004 generated a negative cash flow of Ch$248,051 million compared to the negative flow of Ch$125,849 million recorded in 2003. The difference of Ch$122,202 million is explained primarily by:

- a reduction in debt of Ch$460,076 million as a result of the voluntary early redemption of the Chilean and U.S. convertible notes, the payment of a significant portion of the Yankee notes and the payment of TermoAndes' and InterAndes' notes,
- higher loan payments of Ch$123,932 million by subsidiaries Chivor, Norgener and Energía Verde during 2004,
- higher dividend payments of Ch$59,340 million in February 2004 related to the distribution of 100% of the net income from the previous fiscal year plus an interim dividend paid in September and December of 2004, and

- higher expenses of Ch$30,349 million associated with the issuance of US$400 million senior notes by AES Gener and US$170 million senior notes by Chivor.

The negative financial cash flow was partially offset by cash inflows equal to Ch$348,719 million received from the issuance of senior notes by AES Gener and Chivor, Ch$139,230 million received from borrowings related
to the new credit agreements executed in order to refinance the indebtedness of subsidiaries TermoAndes, InterAndes, Chivor and Norgener, and Ch$63,638 million from the issuance of shares related to our capital increase effectuated in May and June
of 2004.

Investment activities generated cash flow of Ch$161,651 million in 2004, which is considerably higher than the cash flow of Ch$29,014 million recorded for the year ending December 31, 2003. The positive variation of
Ch$132,637 million is explained by higher collections from, and fewer loans to, related companies of Ch$153,275, principally resulting from the repayment of the intercompany account receivable in February 2004 by our parent company Cachagua, an
increase in revenue of Ch$9,900 million associated with the sale of Energía Verde's Nacimiento plant to customer Empresas CMPC S.A. and Ch$3,678 million related to the sale of Colombian coal mine Carbones del Cesar, lower investments of
Ch$1,265 million in financial instruments, and other investment payments of Ch$879 million. These positive investment activities were partially offset by:

- higher disbursement of Ch$25,208 million related to the payment of the Norgener's supplier credit agreement,
- lower revenues of Ch$9,868 million from other investments, and
- lower other investment activities of Ch$1,284.

2003 Compared to 2002

In 2003, we generated a positive cash flow of Ch$25,838 million, as compared to a negative cash flow of Ch$30,827 million in 2002.

Operating activities generated a positive flow of Ch$122,672 million in 2003, which was Ch$46,807 million higher than the Ch$75,865 million recorded in 2002. This increase was principally due to a Ch$28,952 million decrease in payments to suppliers
and personnel, a Ch$27,503 million decrease in interest payments and an increase in other revenue of Ch$7,236. The increase was partially offset by a Ch$16,542 million decrease in the collection of trade accounts receivable and a Ch$1,388 million
decrease in accrued financial income.

Financing activities generated a negative cash flow of Ch$125,849 million in 2003, as compared to a negative cash flow of Ch$102,939 million in 2002. The Ch$22,910 million increase in negative cash flow was mainly due to a Ch$29,044 million
increase in dividend payments, which were offset by a Ch$8,347 million decrease in bond payments.

Investment activities generated positive cash flow of Ch$29,014 million in 2003, as compared with a negative cash flow of Ch$3,753 million in 2002. This difference was primarily due to a Ch$29,116 million increase in loan collections in 2003,
mainly from Cachagua, which made two amortization payments in 2003 with dividends received from us.

2004 Capital Expenditures

We have included in our budget for the year ending December 31, 2005, capital expenditures totaling approximately US$17.3 million, exclusive of expansion projects. The principal expenditure is related to TermoAndes' first major gas turbine
maintenance scheduled at 33,000 Equivalent Operating Hours.

Sources of Our Cash Flows

We expect that we will have sufficient resources from operations to fund our currently anticipated capital expenditures, for working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.

We expect to fund our future projects and investments with a combination of internally generated cash, sales of assets and additional indebtedness, including project financing. Such indebtedness may be incurred by our subsidiaries and may or may
not be guaranteed by AES Gener. See "Item 4. Information on the CompanyCapital Investments" for a discussion of our

development projects. In addition, we believe that the successful completion of our debt restructuring plan in 2004, which reduced the amount of our outstanding indebtedness and extended the maturities of our long-term indebtedness, will enhance our
financial flexibility and our ability to generate cash flow in upcoming years.

Certain of our credit agreements contain provisions that impose restrictions on the transfer of funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The indenture governing our 7.50% senior notes due in March 2014 and the credit agreement we
executed on April 16, 2004 as part of the restructuring of TermoAndes' and InterAndes' indebtedness, both contain provisions that restrict payments of dividends which exceed the sum of, without duplication, 100% of consolidated net income accrued
during each accounting period to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter plus US$10 million. However, these agreements do not prohibit minimum legally required dividend payments in accordance with applicable law, which in Chile are equal to 30% of
net income for each fiscal year.

Additionally, the indenture governing Chivors 9.75% senior notes due 2014 restricts payments including dividends, subordinate loan payments and investments by requiring, among other things, that prior to such disbursements, the interest
reserve account be fully funded in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment in full of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the notes. In particular, the indenture limits the payment of permitted dividends to 100% of consolidated
net income accrued during the period from November 30, 3004 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter.

These restrictions have been incorporated in our financial projections, and we do not expect them to affect our ability to meet our cash obligations, as we believe that we will have sufficient operational resources to
meet our projected capital expenditures and working capital needs.

Investment and Financial Policy

Our investment policy recognizes that the Companys principal line of business is the generation of electricity and as such, the Companys focus is to develop and implement projects that effectively add value. In order to comply with this
purpose, we may make investments in each of the companies in which we have an interest or to which we make capital contributions, supervise and coordinate the management of the companies in which we have an interest or to which we make capital
contributions, and provide the companies in which we have an interest or to which we make capital contributions with management, auditing, financial, commercial, technical and legal services and all and any services of any nature that may be
necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that we participate in the formation of new companies through the contribution of electricity assets, in accordance with our by-laws, we are required to maintain at least 51% ownership.

We maintain a diversified portfolio of short term investments in financial instruments, including bank deposits, commercial paper and bonds. Since the Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar, our investment policy requires us to
maintain a balanced portfolio between Chilean peso and U.S. dollar-denominated investments. In 2004, we held an average of US$18.6 million on financial investments, of which almost 50% were in U.S. dollar-denominated instruments.

We have no formal coverage policies for risks related to exchange rates and interest rates. However, our management and board of directors constantly evaluate alternatives to minimize foreign exchange and interest rate risks. We cover our foreign
exchange exposure relating to interest, debt payments, power purchase agreements and take-or-pay payments by purchasing forward rate agreements. Our investment policy specifically prohibits speculative activities and strictly adheres to the
principles of Chile GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

The compliance with our financial investment policy is continually monitored by the Companys management, its board of directors and our internal audit department.

Long Term Debt

Our long term bank debt consists principally of U.S. dollar-denominated loans from certain financial institutions. We have also issued bonds and other long term debt, primarily in U.S. dollars, in Chile, the United States and Colombia. See note 17
to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Long term liabilities decreased by 29% from Ch$757,596 million as of December 31, 2003 to Ch$537,053 million as of December 31, 2004. The decrease in long term liabilities resulted from the successful completion of our debt restructuring plan

Chivor

In December 1996, our Colombian subsidiary, Chivor, borrowed US$400 million under a five-year bank credit facility, the net proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the acquisition price of Chivor. Additionally, under the terms of the
Share Trust, or Contrato de Encargo Fiduciario de Administración, executed on December 30, 1996, Energy Trades shares in Chivor were pledged in favor of the lenders. The Chivor credit facility was secured by substantially all of
Chivors assets, including accounts receivable, payments under contracts, funds held offshore, insurance proceeds, real property and its plant and equipment. On December 28, 2001, Chivor failed to pay when due approximately US$336 million of
the principal amount of indebtedness borrowed pursuant the terms of the bank credit facility. On May 31, 2002, Chivor reached an agreement for refinancing its debt of US$336 million with the original bank syndicate led by Bank of America. The
agreement stipulated that the refinancing would be structured under terms and conditions established under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy law, specifically in terms of a pre-packaged voluntary reorganization.

On August 27, 2002, the second amendment and waiver to the credit agreement amended the credit agreement entered into in December 1996, and provided Chivor with a term extension up to December 31, 2006, including a new payment schedule with interim
amortization payments. In connection with the execution of the second amendment and waiver, also on August 27, 2002, a support agreement was executed, under which Energy Trade agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally provide funds to Chivor for
payment of outstanding debt under the second amendment and waiver, up to a maximum amount of US$50 million, if the outstanding amount of Chivor debt were to exceed US$225 million on March 31,

2005. In the same support agreement, AES Gener agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee Energy Trades obligations.

On November 30, 2004, Chivor completed a US$253 million refinancing. As a part of the refinancing, Chivor completed the sale of US$170 million of 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due in 2014 pursuant to Rule 144A and
Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. To guarantee the interest reserve account established under the indenture, AES Gener provided a 180-day renewable standby letter of credit for a total aggregate amount of up to US$9.7 million.
Chivor also closed a local peso-denominated syndicated Colombian bank facility for approximately US$83 million, at the time the agreement was executed, with a 7-year maturity and quarterly principal payments. Chivor used the net proceeds of the new
notes, together with the net proceeds of the bank facility and available cash, to repay in full Chivors existing outstanding syndicated loan facility of approximately US$260 million.

Scotiabank and Banco de Crédito e Inversiones Loan Agreement

Energía Verde borrowed US$25 million under a five-year bank credit facility with Scotiabank and Banco Crédito e Inversiones in November 2001. The net proceeds were used to refinance the capital structure of Energía Verde. The
annual interest rate is based on 180 days LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 1.85% . As part of the financing, we pledged all our shares in that subsidiary in favor of the two banks. In addition, Energía Verde pledged all its assets in favor of the
bank. As of June 30, 2004, the outstanding amount under this bank credit facility was US$23 million. On August 24, 2004, Energía Verde repaid US$11 million of the outstanding balance of the loan and the pledge over Energía Verdes
assets was released by the banks. The remaining balance of US$12 million was transferred to AES Gener under a line of credit.

Eléctrica Santiago Local Bonds

In September 1999, the SVS approved the issuance by Eléctrica Santiago of a local bond of US$100 million, which was principally used to prepay debt to General Electric for the construction of the Nueva Renca combined-cycle plant. This bond
was divided into a U.S. dollar-denominated tranche of US$60 million and a UF-denominated tranche equivalent to US$40 million. In October 1999, Eléctrica Santiago placed US$57.5 million of the dollar-denominated tranche, which matures in
October 2009. A portion of the outstanding principal is to be paid semiannually beginning April 2005. Interest is paid semiannually and the annual interest rate is 8%. The outstanding amount as of December 31, 2004 was US$57.5 million. In July 2000,
Eléctrica Santiago placed the UF-denominated tranche of UF1,086 million. A portion of the outstanding principal is to be paid semiannually beginning April 2006. Interest is paid semiannually, and the annual interest rate is 7.5% . The
outstanding amount as of December 31, 2004 was UF1,086 million, equivalent to US$33.7 million.

The indentures governing these issuances establish the following financial covenants, which were fully complied with as of December 31, 2004:

- unpledged assets must equal at least 125% of unsecured liabilities;
- the ratio of debt to equity may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00;
- a minimum equity level of UF2 million (approximately US$62.1 million) must be maintained; and
- Essential Assets which represent more than 40% of total assets may not be sold, without the previous authorization of the bondholders.

Yankee Notes

In January 1996, we issued US$200 million aggregate principal amount of our 61/2% notes due January 15, 2006 in the United States. On January 9, 2002, we solicited and obtained the required consent of a majority of the
note holders to amend the indenture to eliminate the possibility that:

- a default on payments due or money borrowed by Chivor (unless AES Gener or a subsidiary guarantees or otherwise agrees to be liable, directly or indirectly, for such Chivor indebtedness), including Chivors aforementioned default, or

68

Table of Contents

- a bankruptcy proceeding involving Chivor would, in each case, constitute, or be the basis for, an event of default with respect to the notes under the indenture.

The provisions of the indenture governing this issue allow the holders to require immediate payment if an event of default occurs, including default in the payment of the note obligations as well as default by AES Gener or any subsidiary (excluding
Chivor) with respect to any indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount exceeding US$15 million.

On November 24, 2003, we announced a cash tender offer for any and all of our Yankee notes. Our cash tender offer for the Yankee notes expired on February 27, 2004 and, upon expiration, we accepted for payment US$145.2 million aggregate principal
amount of such notes, representing 72.62% in aggregate principal amount of such notes outstanding as of such time. As of December 31, 2004, the amount of Yankee notes outstanding was US$54.8 million.

TermoAndes and InterAndes

We financed TermoAndes and InterAndes through an equity contribution of approximately US$146.9 million made with funds from our operations, floating rate debt securities of approximately US$257 million (aggregate principal amount) issued by
TermoAndes and InterAndes and a US$18 million loan from Argentine banking institutions. The floating rate debt was hedged with two swaps that fixed the interest rate at 6.36% . The notes issued by TermoAndes and InterAndes were secured by
substantially all the assets of both companies, including AES Geners obligations to purchase capacity and energy pursuant to its power purchase agreement with TermoAndes, which included minimum payments in amounts sufficient, among other
things, to service the debt.

Additionally, US$82 million of TermoAndes and InterAndes notes were subject to a put option executed in 1998, which permitted Bank of America to require AES Gener to purchase the TermoAndes and InterAndes notes at par plus accrued interest under
certain defined circumstances. In April 2000, the put agreement was assigned to Energy Trade by AES Gener, with a full guarantee by AES Gener. The put option was further modified in September 2002, and, in connection therewith, a purchase agreement
was executed by AES Gener and Bank of America.

On April 16, 2004, we completed the restructuring of the debt of TermoAndes and InterAndes as well as the termination of the interest rate swaps covering this debt. The lenders and swap counterparties received an up-front payment that was funded
with US$36.3 million of cash held in TermoAndes and InterAndes trust accounts and a cash contribution of US$25.7 million made by AES Gener. In exchange, the lenders and swap counterparties extended a new loan to AES Gener to enable it to
repurchase the original notes and repay the swap termination fee, the balance of which in each case was reduced by the up-front payment described above. The new loan is comprised of two tranches, A and B, both of which contain monthly principal and
interest payments. Tranche A, in the amount of US$77.2 million, is related to the outstanding principal under the original notes and will be amortized from 2004 to 2010. Tranche B, in the amount of US$7.2 million, is related to the mark-to-market
amount for the terminated interest rate swap agreements and will be amortized from 2004 to 2007. The interest rate for both tranches is equal to LIBOR plus a variable spread that increases semiannually. Additionally, the loan agreement provided that
the remaining debt owed to Bank of America, in the amount of US$9.1 million, be repaid on June 30, 2004, which payment has occurred. As of December 31, 2004, we had US$77.2 million outstanding under both tranches of the new loan.

Norgener

We financed the construction of Norgeners Tocopilla thermoelectric plant through a US$ 97 million loan provided by Mitsubishi Heavy Industry with an annual interest rate of 8.17% . In order to guarantee 50% of the loan, Norgener granted
Mitsubishi Heavy Industry a stand-by letter of credit issued by Banco de Chile for up to US$50 million. Additionally, in order to guarantee the amount of the letter of credit, Norgener pledged Unit No. 2 of the Tocopilla Plant in favor of Banco de
Chile.

On November 26, 2004, Norgener refinanced the entire amount outstanding under the supplier credit with the proceeds from a US$29 million bank facility. This refinancing allowed Norgener to reduce interest expenses and
to extend by two years (to 2009) the final maturity of its obligations. Norgeners Unit No. 2 continues to be pledged to the lender under the terms of the new credit agreement.

7.50% Senior Notes

69

##### 

Table of Contents

On March 22, 2004, we consummated the issuance of US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior notes due 2014. The note offering was made only to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and
to persons outside the United States under and in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement governing the notes, we subsequently filed a registration statement with the SEC which was declared
effective on November 24, 2004. Our offer to exchange the outstanding unregistered 7.50% senior notes due 2014 for a like principal amount of notes registered under the Securities Act closed on January 21, 2005. In connection with this offer, we
accepted tenders for an aggregate principal amount of US$399.6 million or 99.91% of our senior notes. As a result, the outstanding portion of Regulation S notes is US$0.4 million.

In connection with our offering of senior notes, we entered into treasury lock agreements in a notional amount of US$400 million (Ch$237,520 million) to hedge against the underlying interest rate of the senior notes that were issued pursuant to our
debt restructuring plan. The agreements were entered into in December 2003 and in February 2004 in contemplation of the senior note offering that was completed on March 22, 2004. The agreements were extended on several occasions. Subsequent to the
date of the agreements, the yield on the benchmark ten-year U.S. treasury note decreased. On March 12, 2004, the date of the pricing of the senior notes, we set a coupon on the notes of 7.50% based on the current market yields of the ten-year U.S.
treasury note rate and unwound the agreements which set the losses under such agreements at approximately US$22.1 million (Ch$13,140 million). On March 22, 2004, the closing date of the senior notes offering, we were required to pay that loss to the
counterparty. Under Chilean GAAP, we expect to amortize the cost associated with these transactions over the life of the notes. Under U.S. GAAP, the agreements are marked-to-market through income because they do not qualify as hedges due to the lack
of documentation. With the transactions described above, we locked in the ten-year U.S. treasury note rate in connection with the issuance of the notes at an average rate of 4.37% .

Guarantees and Contingencies

As of December 31, 2004, we had a guaranty outstanding in favor of third parties in respect of US$2.55 million principal amount of a loan incurred by GasAndes Argentina to finance a portion of the cost of construction of the GasAndes pipeline.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2004, AES Gener had outstanding the following contingencies relating to the debt of certain of its subsidiaries:

- In September 1998, as part of the financing obtained by our wholly owned subsidiaries TermoAndes and InterAndes, we pledged all our shares in these subsidiaries in favor of Banco Francés Uruguay S.A. Additionally, under the terms of the credit agreement, the InterAndes transmission line was pledged and a mortgage of the TermoAndes properties was executed in favor of Banco Francés Uruguay S.A. Under the terms of the debt
restructuring of TermoAndes and InterAndes, these pledges and mortgage continue to exist as part of the new loan agreement granted to AES Gener in connection with the restructuring of the TermoAndes and InterAndes indebtedness as described
above.
- Under the terms and conditions governing Chivors senior secured notes and local peso-denominated syndicated Colombian bank facility, both of which were issued on November 30, 2004, Energy Trades shares in Chivor were pledged in favor of
the lenders.
- Additionally, to guarantee the interest reserve account established under Chivors senior notes indenture, AES Gener provided a 180-day renewable standby letter of credit for a total aggregate amount of up to US$9.7 million.

None of our subsidiaries has guaranteed AES Geners debt. Other non-financing related contingencies are contained in note 26 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Financial Covenants.Under the terms of our credit agreements, certain financial covenants apply to us. The financial covenants established in the 7.50% senior notes, which closed on March 22, 2004 and the credit agreement
restructuring the TermoAndes and InterAndes notes, which closed on April 16, 2004, include certain financial limitations, including limitations on indebtedness, sales of assets, restricted payments and transactions with affiliates, among others. In
the case of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may not incur any additional indebtedness unless on the date of such

incurrence, the interest coverage ratio would be no less than 2.4:1 and the total debt to EBITDA ratio would be no greater than 4.5:1. Additionally, the indenture governing Chivors senior notes issued on November 30, 2004 also contains similar
financial restrictions on indebtedness, sales of assets, restricted payments and transactions with affiliates, among others. In particular, Chivor is limited from incurring indebtedness and making restricted payments unless the interest coverage
ratio would be no less than 2.25:1 and the total debt to EBITDA ratio would be no greater than 3.80:1.

Rating Trigger Clauses.Under the terms of some credit arrangements, certain rating trigger clauses are applicable to AES Gener, some of which may affect our liquidity:

- Under the transportation contract between TermoAndes and TGN, TermoAndes must maintain an investment grade credit rating granted by Standard & Poors, Moodys or any other international credit agency or provide a performance guarantee
from one or more of its shareholders with an investment grade rating or a letter of credit. As of December 31, 2004, TermoAndes local credit rating satisfied the investment grade requirement under the contract.
- Our subsidiary, Eléctrica Santiago, has gas transportation agreements in place with GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina to transport natural gas from Argentina to its combined-cycle facility in Santiago. Similarly, AES Gener entered into contracts with GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina for a future generation project that was later assigned to Eléctrica Santiago. These contracts require that Eléctrica Santiago or AES Gener, as the
case may be, maintain certain international or national rating levels, with two rating agencies approved by the Chilean Central Bank, or provide a performance guarantee or letter of credit. As a result of the gas restrictions applied to Chilean
generation companies in 2004, in June 2004, Eléctrica Santiagos ratings were reviewed by two local rating agencies, one of which decreased Eléctrica Santiagos rating below the level defined in the transportation contracts.
On July 30, 2004, we provided GasAndes Chile with a performance guarantee equal to approximately US$3.2 million which was renewed in March 2005. We are currently studying potential mechanisms to reduce Eléctrica Santiagos exposure
during gas curtailments and restore its prior rating and release the performance guarantee.
- Our subsidiary, Eléctrica Santiago, has a gas transportation agreement in place with TGN. This contract requires that Eléctrica Santiago maintain an investment grade rating, international or national, as defined in the contract, or
provide a performance guarantee or letter of credit. As mentioned above, in June 2004, one of Eléctrica Santiagos local ratings was lowered.
- The indenture for our senior notes issued in 2004, includes a release of covenants clause under which certain covenants are suspended, if the rating assigned to the notes by two of the three rating agencies (Standard & Poors, Moodys
and Fitch) is an investment grade rating and no default has occurred or is continuing.

In conjunction with the notes offering completed in March 2004, AES Geners international and local credit ratings were upgraded by certain rating agencies. As of December 31, 2004, the international credit rating level assigned to our
long-term debt was BB+ by Standard & Poors, BB by Fitch and Ba3 by Moodys. Our local credit rating assigned by Fitch is BBB. Our shares and our local notes have been approved by the
Comisión Clasificado de Riesgo, the Institutional Rating Commission, or CCR, thereby permitting Chilean pension funds to purchase our debt and equity securities.

Differences Between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP

The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to our reported annual results in 2002, 2003 and 2004 involve the following issues:

- functional currency;
- the technical revaluation of property, plant and equipment and the related impact on accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense;
- investments in related companies;
- deferred taxes;
- accounting for staff severance indemnities, pensions and post-retirement benefits;
- the capitalization of interest costs for the construction of new fixed assets;

- accounting for forward exchange contracts;
- accounting for goodwill and negative goodwill and the applicable periods of amortization;
- accounting for long term compensation:
- accounting for settlement compensation payments;
- accounting for foreign exchange contracts that are not effective as hedges; and
- asset retirement obligation.

See note 37 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements for a description and quantification of the principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

Functional and Reporting Currency

Under Chilean GAAP, financial statements are adjusted for the effect of changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean currency during each period and presented in constant Chilean pesos, or the reporting currency, as mentioned in note 1 of our
audited consolidated financial statements. Transactions are recorded in Chilean pesos by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange rate
differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were originally recorded are recognized in the income statement of the period.

In accordance with Boletín Técnico No. 64, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that operate in countries exposed to significant risks and are not considered to be an extension of the parent companys
operations must be remeasured into U.S. dollars. We have remeasured our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars under this requirement as follows:

- Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the local currency.
- All non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholders equity are translated at historical rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the local currency.
- Income and expense accounts are translated at average rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the local currency.
- The effects of any exchange rate fluctuations are included in the results of operations for the period.

Under Boletín Técnico No. 64, the investment in a foreign subsidiary is price-level restated, the effects of which are reflected in income, while the effects of the foreign exchange gain or loss between the Chilean peso and the
U.S. dollar are reflected in equity in the account Cumulative Translation Adjustment, as the foreign investment itself is measured in U.S. dollars.

Under U.S. GAAP, a definition of the functional currency is required, which may differ from the reporting currency. Upon our acquisition by The AES Corporation in 2000, management determined our functional currency to be the U.S. dollar in
accordance with SFAS No. 52.

However, subsequent to the issuance of our December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements, we determined that our reconciliation of net income and shareholders equity from Chilean GAAP to U.S. GAAP were not prepared assuming that the
U.S. dollar was the functional currency, but rather continued to reflect the Chilean peso as the functional currency. Therefore, the reconciliation of net income and shareholders equity to U.S. GAAP as of and for the years ended December 31,
2002 were restated to give effect to the determination of the U.S. dollar as the functional currency.
Accordingly, we remeasured into U.S. dollars the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, and translated these financial statements into the reporting currency, the Chilean peso, by applying the procedures specified in SFAS No. 52.

Table of Contents

The objective of the remeasurement process is to produce the same results that would have been reported if the accounting records had been kept in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the balance sheet date
(current) exchange rate. Non-monetary assets are recorded at their historical exchange rate at the time of purchase. Past transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured at the exchange rates in effect at the time the
transactions occurred. Revenues and expenses are remeasured on a monthly basis at the average rates of exchange in effect during the period, except for consumption of non-monetary assets, which are remeasured at the rates of exchange in effect when
the respective assets were acquired. Transaction gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities arising from the remeasurement are included in the determination of the net income (loss) in the period such gains and losses arise.

The amounts obtained from the remeasurement process referred to above are translated into Chilean pesos in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52. Assets and liabilities are translated at the current selling exchange rate of Ch$718.61,
Ch$593.8 and Ch$557.4 to US$1.00 as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses reported in the income statement are translated at the exchange rate existing at the time of each transaction or, if
appropriate, at the monthly average exchange rate during the period. The translation effect of changes in the exchange rates is included as a cumulative translation adjustment in shareholders equity.

For further information relating to functional and reporting currency, see note 37.I.b) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.

U.S. GAAP Reconciliation

In 2002, the U.S. GAAP reconciling items had a positive effect on net income reported under U.S. GAAP, principally due to the remeasurement of the functional currency and the reversal of price level restatement, which was offset by the negative
effect of the reversal and classification of the interest income from the intercompany account receivable with Cachagua as shareholders equity. The U.S. GAAP reconciliation items had a negative effect on net income reported under U.S. GAAP in
2003, primarily due to the reversal of the interest income from the intercompany account with Cachagua and the effect of the functional currency remeasurement.

In 2002 and 2003, the U.S. GAAP reconciling items had a negative effect on shareholders equity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, mainly due to the reclassification of the intercompany loan and interest income from Cachagua, the reversal
of price level restatement, the reversal of a technical revaluation of property, plant and equipment made in prior years, the accounting differences regarding deferred taxes and the recognition of impairment losses in long-lived assets. In 2004, the
U.S. GAAP reconciling items had a negative effect on net income as a result of the mark-to-market adjustment on the treasury lock agreement, , transactions losses resulting from functional currency and reversal of the gain in the Escondida
settlement.

The following table shows the difference between net income and shareholders equity determined on a Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP basis for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 in millions of Chilean pesos:

Effects of Change in Accounting Policy and Presentation

In 2004, the following Chilean accounting change was made:

Equity-Method Investees:Prior to January 1, 2004, investments in other companies ranging from 10%-50% of common stock were recorded under the equity method of accounting. As of January 1, 2004, we changed the accounting treatment for
investments in other companies that, at a consolidated level, were more than 10% and less than 20% of

73

Table of Contents

common stock to comply with the SVS Official Circular, No. 1,697, dated December 30, 2003. Investments that meet these criteria will be recorded at acquisition cost restated for price-level changes and will no longer be recorded under the
equity-method of accounting. This change affected the following investments: GasAndes Chile, GasAndes Argentina and CDEC-SIC.

Prospectively, the accounting for investments under Chilean GAAP is now substantially consistent with the treatment under U.S. GAAP. However, the cost basis of the investments in GasAndes Chile, GasAndes Argentina and CDEC-SIC is different under
Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP, because under U.S. GAAP these investments are recorded at their original acquisition costs less any dividends received and non-temporary impairments recorded, whereas under Chilean GAAP these investments are recorded at
their December 31, 2003 book values.

In 2003, no accounting changes were made.

In 2002, the following accounting change was made:

Staff Severance Indemnities:As of January 1, 2002, we changed the interest rate used for determining the present value of the provisions for staff severance indemnities and for pensions and post-retirement benefits, reducing it from
10% to 8%. The effect of this change at the beginning of 2002 amounted to Ch$673,832 thousand, an amount that was charged to deferred assets in accordance with Boletín Técnico No. 8 of the Chilean Association of Accountants and
will be amortized over 10 years.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate these estimates, including those related to allowances for
doubtful accounts, inventories, allowances for recoverable taxes, restructuring of our operations, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, contingent liabilities, income tax valuation allowances, pension plans and the fair value of
financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of our assets and
liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We have identified below the accounting policies that are critical to our financial statements.

Functional Currency:Upon our acquisition by The AES Corporation in 2000, we designated the U.S. dollar as our functional currency in accordance with SFAS No. 52. As a consequence, our financial results are not affected by foreign
exchange fluctuations, except for those asset and liability line items expressed in Chilean pesos and other non-U.S.-denominated currencies.

Revenue Recognition:Revenues from the sale of electricity are recorded based on output delivery and capacity provided at rates as specified under regulated market terms, under contract terms or at prevailing spot market prices.

Since revenues in the spot market are derived from sales to other generators in accordance with the weekly price of electricity, we must prepare our invoices on the basis of estimated values, which we then reconcile in the following months
invoice. Revenues obtained from industrial clients and distribution companies do not require any reconciliation, as they are invoiced at the price determined in their respective contracts.

A substantial portion of our revenues is based on long-term contractual agreements. Thus, we base our contractual terms on consumption demand projections and anticipated spot market prices. Should the actual market perform differently than our
pricing models, our profit margin could be significantly impacted.

Interest Rate Swap:Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 established accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value. Depending
on the documented designation of a derivative instrument, any change in fair value is recognized either in income or shareholders equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI)).

In 1998, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, whereby it received variable interest payments and paid fixed interest payments in order to convert variable rate debt into fixed rate debt. Under Chilean GAAP the fair value of the interest
rate swap was determined and recorded, as well as the interest expense, which was recorded as incurred. Additionally, the assets and liabilities related to the interest rate swap are presented on a net basis in other current assets.

The Company has designated its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, and accordingly has recognized changes in its fair value in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on cash flow hedge transactions reported in other comprehensive income,
and the transition adjustment reported by the Company as a cumulative effect type adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income, are reclassified to earnings in the same period that the related cash flows of the hedged transaction affect
earnings.

SFAS No. 133 also prescribes requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships and ongoing retrospective and prospective assessments of effectiveness in order to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedge accounting is considered to
be appropriate if the assessment of hedge effectiveness indicates that the change in fair value of the designated hedging instrument is 80% to 125% effective at offsetting the change in fair value due to the hedged risk of the hedged item or
transaction. Measurements of amounts to be recorded in income due to ineffectiveness of hedges are based on the dollar-offset method as required by SFAS No. 133.

Property, Plant and Equipment:The value of investments in property, plant and equipment is capitalized. Work in progress includes labor, materials, financing debt, interest and an allocation of some general and overhead costs.
Maintenance and repairs, including replacement of minor items of property, are charged to maintenance expense as incurred. When depreciable property units are retired, the original cost and dismantling charges, less salvage value, are charged to
accumulated depreciation. The direct and indirect financing costs associated with projects under construction are capitalized as a component of the asset value; however, under Chilean GAAP the capitalization of interest expenses associated with
projects under construction is optional when incurred on debt that is not directly related to such projects. Under U.S. GAAP the capitalization of interest on qualifying assets under construction is required for the interest that could have been
avoided if the expenditure had not been made. These costs are capitalized based on a real average financing cost rate.

Under Chilean GAAP, the interest expenses associated with plants under construction are required to be capitalized until plants have commenced operation, which occurs upon receipt of operation certification approval from the regulatory agency
and/or upon utilization of a minimum of 50% of total plant capacity. In the cases where the certification approval from the regulatory agency is received and the plant use is less than 50% of total plant capacity, we could either continue to
capitalize our plant costs or recognize them as operational costs. For revenues received in such situations, we could either recognize them as operational revenues or as a credit to fixed asset accounts.

We and our subsidiaries evaluated the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets amount based on the provisions of SFAS No. 144. This standard requires that long-lived assets be tested for impairment or disposal. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January
1, 2001 and the impact of this adoption was included in our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for that year.

Post-Retirement Benefits:Our employees participate in unfunded benefit pension plans. Our pension and post-retirement benefit costs are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions provided by
us to our actuaries, such as the discount rate. Material changes in our pension and post-retirement benefit costs may occur in the future due to changes in these assumptions, changes in the number of plan participants and changes in the level of
benefits provided.  As of December 31, 2004, we used a discount rate of 8%.

Severance Indemnities:Severance indemnities with our employees are calculated based on the liability projected cost present value, using a discount rate of 8%.

Accounting for Income Taxes:We follow the guidelines of Boletín Técnico No. 60, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that we use the balance sheet method of accounting for deferred
income taxes and provide deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences in income tax and for tax loss carryforwards.

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to calculate our income tax expense based on rates in effect at the time of the calculation (which are subject to change and affect the calculation as any new tax rates
are enacted) as well as estimates of when the above-mentioned temporary differences will reverse. We recorded a

75

provision for income tax according to Chilean tax law. These taxes comprise a first category tax rate set at 16% for 2002 16.5% for 2003 and 17% for 2004 (15% for prior years); our subsidiaries recorded a provision for income tax according to
stipulations in force in Chile and in the countries where they operate. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we are likely to realize. Our estimate of realization of such deferred tax assets results
from consideration of, among other things, our future taxable income and our tax planning strategies, which may differ from actual results.

In addition, under Chilean GAAP, upon adoption of Boletín Técnico No. 60, a contra asset or liability account was created in which the effects of the cumulative effect of the temporary differences were recorded. This
account is being amortized into income over the estimated period of reversal, with the exception of tax loss carryforwards, which are being amortized as utilized. The actual period of reversal could differ.

For U.S. GAAP the assessment of whether a valuation allowance should be recorded is based on whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized; however, under both Chilean and U.S. GAAP, the valuation
allowance was determined to be the same.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on
fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123R is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2006. Retroactive application of the requirements of SFAS No. 123R to the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the
effective date would be permitted. The Company currently records stock compensation expense based on the fair value method and therefore does not believe that the pronouncement will have an effect on its financial condition, statement of operations,
or cash flow.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions or APB
Opinion No. 29. APB Opinion No. 29 provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. Under APB Opinion No. 29, an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset was based
on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. SFAS No. 153 eliminates this exception and replaces it with an exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective prospectively for
non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2006.

In December 2004, the FASB issued proposed FSP No. FAS 109-b, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision Within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The American
Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed in to law and includes a provision that allows U.S. corporations, in certain circumstances, to repatriate cumulative non-U.S. earnings at tax rates that may be below the 35% U.S. statutory rate. FSP No.
109-b is intended to provide limited relief in the application of the indefinite reinvestment criterion of APB 23, Accounting for Income Taxes-Special Areas, due to ambiguities surrounding the implementation of the Act and is effective
upon issuance. The Company does not believe that this pronouncement will have an effect on its financial condition, statement of operations, or cash flow.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151), to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) relating to inventory pricing. SFAS No. 151 requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" and requires that the
allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently
evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement to determine the effects on its financial condition, statements of operations, and cash flows.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation FIN No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," which clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," as a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company.
FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.

Trend Information

As described above in Item 5. Overview, the most significant variables affecting our results are the prices of energy and capacity, weather conditions, prices and availability of fuels and foreign exchange variations in the countries in
which we operate.

Increasing fuel costs

Effect of the Argentine natural gas crisis on our Chilean Operations.

The supply and cost of fuel for our generation facilities has varied significantly in the past year. As explained in Risk FactorsRisk Factors Related to Our Chilean Operations and Risk FactorsRisk Factors Related to
Our Argentinean Operations in this annual report, the natural gas crisis affecting Argentina resulted in fuel supply curtailments to our combined cycle plants operated by Eléctrica Santiago and TermoAndes. The Argentine
governments establishment of a new export duty to be applied to natural gas exports has also added new uncertainty.

On March 26, 2004, the Argentine Secretary of Energy passed Resolution 265/04, which immediately restricted surplus exports of natural gas to neighboring countries, primarily Chile, and announced a natural gas rationing program to be developed.
This program would reduce the amount of natural gas available both for export and for use in generating electricity for export. The primary objective of Resolution 265/04 was to ensure the natural gas supply to residential consumers, customers with
firm supply contracts and thermoelectric plants supplying Argentine customers. This resolution provided for the following:

- interruption of the export of natural gas surpluses;
- suspension of the granting of export permits for natural gas; and
- authorization for the Under-Secretary of Fuels to implement a rationing program for the interruption of gas exports under private agreements and the supply of natural gas to power exporters.

On March 31, 2004, the Argentine Under-Secretary of Fuels issued Rule 27/04, the Rationing Program for Natural Gas Exports and Use of Transportation Capacity, which, in order to ensure natural gas supply to the domestic market, imposed
restrictions upon natural gas exports, natural gas supplies used for electric generation exports and natural gas transportation services utilized for export. The rationing program established that natural gas exports from each producer in 2004 are
to be limited to the amount exported in the same month in 2003 by the producer and, additionally, that cumulative exports during the nine-month period from January to September 2004 cannot exceed the amount exported by the same producer during the
same nine-month period in 2003.

On April 19, 2004, the Ministerio de Planificación Federal, Inversión Pública y Servicios, or the Argentine Federal Planning and Public Investment and Services Ministry, approved Rule 185/2004 in order to regulate the
implementation and functioning of fiduciary funds to be utilized to finance the required investments to expand and/or extend natural gas transportation and distribution systems utilized to serve the domestic market. Based on such regulations, future
investments in the principal Argentine gas transportation systems will be financed through the fiduciary funds and will be repaid in part through new transportation charges from both existing and new customers. As a result, Eléctrica Santiago
and other transportation system customers may experience tariff increases in the future.

On May 27, 2004, the Argentine government approved Decree 645/04 which included a new duty of 20% to be levied on certain export merchandise, including natural gas. Subsequently, Eléctrica Santiagos natural gas suppliers provided
notice of their intention to incorporate such duties in the gas price. AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago rejected the letters and denied the application of the export duty in the gas price. If the Argentine export duty is deemed to be
applicable to Eléctrica Santiagos gas supply imports, it would increase the plants fuel cost by approximately US$2.9 million for the

period ending December 31, 2004. We have recorded a provision of US$1.45 million to account for potential application a portion of the duty. Additionally, assuming the duty is applicable to our supply, the amount of the duty for 2005 would be
subject to the amount of gas delivered during the year, which as explained below, has been reduced during the first few months of 2005.

As a result of the governments application of Rule 27/04, Eléctrica Santiagos natural gas suppliers received notices from the Argentine government to restrict exports of natural gas or to maintain export levels while supplying
the domestic market with alternative fuels. The producers considered such notices an event of force majeure under the gas supply agreement, although this position was rejected by Eléctrica Santiago and AES Gener. The partial reductions in the
supply of natural gas to Eléctrica Santiago in May and June 2004, impacted the companys ability to generate electricity, forcing it to reduce its output, as well as to generate with diesel oil as a substitute for natural gas, sharply
increasing its cost of production. Thus, during this period, Eléctrica Santiago relied on the spot market to purchase a portion of the energy required to meet its contractual commitments. The impact of these gas curtailments led to an
increase in the spot market price of electricity and increased the cost of spot purchases made by AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago.

On June 16, 2004, the Argentine Secretary of Energy revoked the previously imposed producer export restrictions affecting Eléctrica Santiago, temporarily restoring the companys contracted natural gas volumes and consequently returning
its generation to normal levels. On June 17, 2004, the Secretary of Energy issued Resolution 659/04 which approved the Complementary Supply Program for the Domestic Natural Gas Market and replaced Rule 27/04.

Resolution 659/04 established a new methodology for determining natural gas sales into the domestic market based on each producers level of committed supply to Argentine consumers. This resolution was first applied on July 8, 2004 when
Eléctrica Santiagos gas suppliers decided to suspend exports in order to inject additional supplies to meet domestic demand. As a result, Eléctrica Santiagos gas supply has been reduced in varying amounts since such date.
On July 13, 2004, AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago presented a demand for arbitration at the ICC in an action against our natural gas suppliers, the Sierra Chata Consortium, claiming breach of contract and compensation for supply
curtailments. See BusinessLegal Proceedings in this annual report.

On August 19, 2004, the Argentine Secretary of Energy passed Resolution 839/04, which requires the electric grid dispatch center to program and dispatch those thermoelectric facilities that are capable of burning natural gas with such fuel from
September 2004 to April 2005 in order to meet domestic demand. This resolution specifically prohibits the use of liquid fuels by generation facilities in Argentina during such period, except during certain defined emergency situations. The
application of this resolution led to substantial restriction in our gas supply during the first quarter of 2005.

The reductions in the supply of natural gas to Eléctrica Santiago in 2004, which have continued throughout the first part of 2005, forced it to reduce its output, as well as to generate with diesel oil as a substitute for natural gas at
certain times, sharply increasing its cost of production. Thus, during such periods, Eléctrica Santiago has relied on the spot market to purchase a portion of the energy required to meet its contractual commitments. Since February 2005,
during certain periods, Eléctrica Santiagos gas suppliers have complied with the natural gas export restrictions by providing coal as an alternative energy source for electricity generation in Argentina, thereby continuing to deliver
natural gas to Eléctrica Santiago. However, such gas supplies are provided at a higher cost, equivalent to the cost of the alternative energy supplied to the Argentine market. The impact of these gas curtailments, combined with the typically
drier hydrology during the first quarter of 2005, also led to an increase in the spot market price of electricity and increased the cost of spot purchases made by AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago. As the situation in Argentina develops,
Eléctrica Santiago could continue to experience a reduction in gas supply and generation output and we, including AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Norgener and our equity-method investees could be negatively impacted by price
increases in the Chilean spot energy markets as a result of a reduction in the supply and/or an increase in the cost of natural gas from Argentina.

The effect of the Argentine natural gas prices on our Argentinean operations.

Similarly, the prices paid by TermoAndes for natural gas will be higher in the future as a result of regulatory changes in Argentina and the contract disputes that are related to such changes. In the past year, Argentina has also restricted the
amount of natural gas supplied to and the future price to be paid for natural gas by TermoAndes and other natural gas consumers through numerous resolutions. As a result of the measures adopted by the Argentine government in 2004 to ensure the
domestic supply of natural gas which applied restrictions to the supply of natural gas for electricity generated for export and TermoAndes disputes with natural gas suppliers described in Risk FactorsRisks related to Our
Argentinean

Operations, TermoAndes generation has been reduced and its costs of production have increased. A few of the most relevant resolutions are described below to demonstrate the current trend of regulation.

On April 22, 2004, the agreement entered into by the Argentine Secretary of Energy and certain gas producers, The Agreement for the Implementation of the Price Normalization Plan for Natural Gas Injected into the Transportation System, Order
by Decree 181/04 was approved by the Argentine executive branch under Resolution 208/04. This resolution will apply systematic natural gas price increases, from May 2004 to July 2005, to new large consumers of natural gas and electric
generation plants that provide electricity to the domestic market. In exchange, gas producers have committed to ensure a sufficient supply of gas to distribution companies for residential consumption, new large end-users and electric generation
plants with domestic production for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. In June 2004, TermoAndes notified its gas suppliers that it would increase payments for natural gas to reflect the new price of gas in the northwestern Argentine market as defined by
Resolution 208/04. This resolution established the first incremental increase of 40% in May 2004 and three additional 18.33% incremental increases in October 2004, May 2005 and July 2005.

On September 13, 2004, TermoAndes entered into an agreement with YPF, the gas producer that provides 50% of TermoAndes contracted supply. The agreement eliminates any historical take-or-pay obligations and adjusts future contractual gas
quantities. However, TermoAndes disputes with its other natural gas suppliers described in Risk FactorsRisks related to Our Argentinean Operations may require TermoAndes to curtail energy production or purchase natural gas on
the spot market. We expect that these resolutions and disputes regarding the cost of natural gas, the natural gas curtailments and any future changes in the regulatory framework to continue to adversely affect the cost of natural gas for TermoAndes.

Other fuel cost increases

In addition to increasing natural gas prices, the international price of coal and associated freight, the other principal fuel for our facilities, continued to increase steadily during the first half of 2004, reaching a maximum high in June 2004,
which was approximately 100% higher than the price registered in December 2003 and almost 200% higher than the price recorded at the end of 2002. During the second half of 2004, coal prices began a gradual decline and by the end of the year, they
had dropped to a level 45% higher than at the close of the previous year. Market forecasts project coal prices to be similar to the current levels for the next 12 to 24 months. Additionally, the price of diesel oil, the fuel used for our peaking
turbines and the only alternative fuel for our combined cycle plants, also increased in 2004, in accordance with the international increase in the price of oil, and we expect the current price level to be maintained at least for the next 12 months.

Although any permanent increase in fuel prices should be reflected in energy sales prices in the long-term, as described in Regulation of Electricity Generation in Chile, Colombia, Argentina and the Dominican RepublicChileSales to
Distribution Companies, there may be a timing lag as fuel cost increases would only be incorporated in regulated prices on a semiannual basis. The Chilean Comisión Nacional de Energías or National Energy
Commissions most recent semiannual tariff setting process which was concluded in April 2005, reflected the recent increase in fuel costs, principally related to higher coal prices and natural gas curtailments, increasing the regulated energy
or node price charged to distribution companies by 7%. The amendment to the electric law which became effective on May 19, 2005, also included a modification of regulated node price methodology, progressively replacing the node price with public bid
prices and an improvement in the correlation between regulated node prices and unregulated market prices in the interim period. As result of this amendment, the energy node price will increase by more than 20% above the current level in June 2005.
In the future, we may be exposed to additional increases in spot prices, as well as higher production costs due to higher fuel prices, dry weather and natural gas curtailments, resulting in an increase in the marginal cost at which we purchase and
sell energy. With regard to our power purchase agreements with non-regulated customers, certain of these contracts are indexed to fuel price variances.

Other trends

The introduction of natural gas as a source of fuel for electric generation in Chile in the SIC in 1997, and in the SING in 1999, with the construction of the pipelines which transport natural gas from Argentina to Chile, led to a significant
technological change in the industry and energy matrix and reduced energy prices and the countrys reliance on hydrological conditions. Although the Argentine natural gas crisis affected natural gas supplies in Chile during 2004 and 2005 and
led to uncertainty with regard to future supplies of natural gas, in order to reduce the SICs dependence on hydrological conditions, it is expected that the trend toward the construction of thermoelectric and hydroelectric facilities will
continue in the future

and, accordingly, as discussed in Item 4. Information of the CompanyCapital Investments, we are evaluating various projects, including thermoelectric plants, hydroelectric plants and transmission interconnections.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The gas supply and transportation agreements detailed below cover all fuel needs for our combined-cycle plants located in Chile and Argentina. Costs incurred for these contracts are reflected as operating costs in the period in which the gas is
consumed or the transportation services are received. These agreements are in the form of take-or-pay contracts that provide for payments of a certain minimum amount of gas, regardless of whether such minimum is consumed.

TermoAndes use of gas is contingent upon its level of electricity production. Since TermoAndes has been producing less electricity than originally projected, its volume of accumulated gas has increased. In addition, TermoAndes has been making
payments under its gas supply and transportation contracts in Argentine pesos at a 1:1 exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. However, certain of TermoAndes gas suppliers have requested that the payments be re-dollarized, which would
negatively impact our cash flow and financial condition. In 2004, TermoAndes entered into agreements with YPF, the gas supplier that provides 50% of TermoAndes gas supply, and TGN, its gas transportation service provider, which significantly
reduced its take-or-pay obligations. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Argentinean Operations.

The aggregate minimum payments required to be made under all gas supply and transportation agreements, whether or not we are able to take delivery of the gas, are as follows:

In general, transportation agreements contain rating trigger clauses that require us to provide a letter of credit or a bank guarantee equal to the obligations for the usage of one year of the pipeline if we fail to be rated investment
grade, which we currently are not, as defined in each contract. For a detailed discussion of the risks related to our operations derived from gas interruption, gas limitation, the ability to consume take-or-pay obligations and disputes with
gas suppliers, see Risk Factors and Legal Proceedings.

Gas supply agreement between AES Gener and Consorcio Sierra Chata

In 1997, AES Gener entered into a 16-year gas supply agreement with Sierra Chata Consortium, formed by Mobil Exp. & Dev. Inc.Argentine Branch, Total Austral S.A., Atalaya Energy S.A., Canadian Hunter Argentina S.A. and Petrolera Santa Fe
S.A., to produce natural gas in the Neuquén region of southern Argentina. This agreement was signed to provide for the natural gas requirements of Eléctrica Santiagos Nueva Renca combined-cycle gas-fired plant. The base
contracted capacity is 1.74 million cubic meters per day delivered in Neuquén. The contract includes an obligation on the part of the supplier to provide up to 100% of the gas contracted and an average annual take-or-pay obligation of 75%,
with a recovery period of three years for the purchase of the remaining take-or-pay gas not consumed, which can be sold to other consumers in Chile or Argentina directly or through Sierra Chata. At the time AES Gener entered into this contract, the
contract price reflected market conditions in the Neuquén basin. Since domestic transactions were pesofied and the market reference was not clear, a price reduction was agreed to and the price was fixed through April 2005. A new price was
agreed upon which became effective in May 2005.

This agreement covers the needs of the Nueva Renca plant operation. As Nueva Renca is an advanced combined-cycle plant and is located inside the metropolitan region of Santiago serving an area of very high electrical demand, it has a high dispatch
factor and usually consumes all of the gas under this contract.

Table of Contents

This agreement covers Eléctrica Santiagos natural gas requirements by using the gas purchased from the Sierra Chata Consortium. The base contracted capacity is 1.74 million cubic meters per day. This agreement allows AES Gener to
transfer gas to Eléctrica Santiago at the same price and upon the other conditions agreed to by AES Gener and Sierra Chata, with the exception of a 1.5% fee charged by AES Gener for the gas actually provided.

Gas transportation agreement between Eléctrica Santiago and Transportadora del Gas del Norte, or TGN

In 1997, Eléctrica Santiago entered into a 25-year firm take-or-pay gas transportation agreement with TGN for transportation from Neuquén to the Mendoza province in central Argentina. The contracted volume is 1.74 million cubic meters
per day. To optimize the management of available gas and transportation, Eléctrica Santiago has entered into an agreement with Metrogas, the local gas distributor, as is detailed below.

Gas transportation agreement between Eléctrica Santiago and GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina

In 1997, Eléctrica Santiago entered into two 25-year firm take-or-pay gas transportation agreements with GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina for the Chilean and Argentine portions of the pipeline, respectively. The contracted volume under
each contract is 1.74 million cubic meters per day, transported from Mendoza to the Santiago Metropolitan Region. To optimize the management of available gas and transportation, Eléctrica Santiago has entered into an agreement with Metrogas,
the local gas distributor as is detailed below.

Gas transportation agreement between Eléctrica Santiago and Metrogas

Eléctrica Santiago signed a take-or-pay gas transportation agreement with Metrogas, a local gas distributor. The volume under this agreement is 1.74 million cubic meters per day and covers all the needs of Eléctrica Santiago for the
Nueva Renca plant. The agreement provides for transportation in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago from City Gate 2, which is the property of GasAndes, to the Nueva Renca plant, which is the property of Eléctrica Santiago.

Second gas transportation agreement among Eléctrica Santiago and GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina

In 1995, AES Gener entered into two 25-year firm take-or-pay gas transportation agreements with GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina. Both agreements commenced in August 2003. During 2003, AES Gener, GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina amended
the agreements. AES Gener was authorized to reduce the volume of gas transported and to assign the contract to its subsidiary, Eléctrica Santiago. On December 9, 2003, AES Gener exercised the assignment right and is in the process of
obtaining the required permits for the assignment. The contracted volume is 50,000 cubic meters per day initially, increasing up to 770 thousand cubic meters per day in 2007, to be used in a future thermoelectric generation project. This contracted
volume will remain until the expiration of the contract in 2028.

Gas supply agreement and gas transportation agreement between Eléctrica Santiago and Metrogas

In order to optimize gas supply and transportation for the seasonal requirements of electricity generation, a take-or-pay gas sale and transportation agreement was executed by Eléctrica Santiago and Metrogas. This agreement provides for a
volume of 160,000 cubic meters per day, which is approximately 9% of the gas and transportation contracted by Eléctrica Santiago. The agreement provides Eléctrica Santiago with an option to re-buy the volume sold.

Take-or-pay natural gas supply contract between TermoAndes and YPF, Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil

In January 1999, TermoAndes entered into a 12-year gas supply agreement with YPF, Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil. The contracted base capacity is an average of 2.375 million cubic meters per day, and TermoAndes has the option to increase or
decrease the contracted capacity by 10%. Given that the plants current level of gas consumption is less than the contracted level, we have exercised this option, reducing contracted capacity by 10%. The contract establishes an 80% take-or-pay
obligation that is applied to 95% of the monthly contracted capacity. The take-or-pay contract may be suspended up to 35 days per year during maintenance periods. TermoAndes is able to recover the gas that is paid for but not consumed during the
contract term, and for up to two years after the termination date.

In 1999, the parties entered into an agreement to eliminate the take-or-pay obligations related to 1999.  As of December 31, 2004, TermoAndes had registered approximately US$8.0 million in take-or-pay debt obligations
with Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil related to the period from 2000 to 2003, as a current liability under accounts payable and a non-current asset of the same amount under long term debtors related to the make-up gas that it may consume during
the contract term or during the two years after the termination date. Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil have not invoiced take-or-pay amounts and consequently, TermoAndes has not paid for gas not consumed.

Given that since February 16, 2004 the companys gas suppliers have not delivered the nominated quantity of gas, which is higher than the take-or-pay obligation, the company has not accrued additional take-or-pay quantities since December 31,
2003.

On September 13, 2004, TermoAndes entered into an agreement with YPF, the gas producer that provides 50% of TermoAndes contracted supply, which eliminates any historical take-or-pay obligations and adjusts future contractual gas quantities.
In September 2004, the existing take-or-pay claims by YPF totaling US$4.3 million were reversed, reducing TermoAndes total remaining take-or-pay liability to that associated with the other producers.

Gas transportation contract between TermoAndes and Transportadora del Gas del Norte

TermoAndes and TGN entered into a gas transportation contract for a period of 17 years which initiated on January 15, 1999. The contract price is composed of a regulated tariff plus additional contributions. The regulated tariff applied to the
contract is the effective rate for the domestic market in Argentina and is subject to modifications by ENARGAS. Payments under this contract amounted to approximately US$2.0 million per year in 2002, 2003 and 2004. All disputes among the parties
related to interpretation of the contract were resolved in January 2005.

Third-Party Guarantees

As mentioned in note 26 1) b) to our audited consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2004, AES Gener was a guarantor of the timely payment of 15% of the principal and interest related to the loan granted to GasAndes Argentina by the
bank Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (España) S.A. The original amount of the loan totaled US$32 million and the amount guaranteed by us was Ch$2,850 million (US$4.8 million). As of December 31, 2004, the maximum amount guaranteed by AES Gener had
been reduced to US$2.55 million as a consequence of the scheduled principal payments having been made. In addition, we agreed with the lenders of GasAndes Chile not to sell, pledge or dispose of our equity participation in GasAndes Chile throughout
the life of the credit agreement, which was originally issued for US$136 million and matures in 2011.

A. Directors and Senior Management

Board of Directors

We are managed by our board of directors, which in accordance with our by-laws is comprised of seven regular directors and seven alternate directors who are elected at an annual regular shareholders meeting. The entire board of directors is
elected every three years. Our board of directors as of December 31, 2004 was elected during our ordinary shareholders meeting held in February 2004. If a vacancy occurs, the board of directors may elect a temporary director to fill the
vacancy until the next ordinary scheduled meeting of shareholders, at which time the entire board of directors will be elected or re-elected. Regularly scheduled meetings of the board of directors are held once a month, while extraordinary meetings
are convened when called by the chairman, requested by any other director with the assent of the chairman or requested by a majority of the directors.

During the extraordinary shareholders meeting held on February 5, 2001, it was decided that members of the board of directors would no longer be paid any compensation, with the exception of members of the Board Committee, as detailed below.
There is no requirement for directors to hold any of our shares, and there is no age limit established for the retirement of directors. The business address of each of our directors is the address of our principal executive offices.

The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2004, our regular directors, their names and ages, their position with our company, the dates of their initial appointment as directors, the expiration dates of their terms and their principal
occupation or employment. There is no family relationship between any of the persons listed in the chart below. As a result of the interim vacancies on the board that were filled in 2004, the entire board of directors was subject to re-election at
the next annual ordinary shareholders meeting, which was held on April 7, 2005.

Our board of directors has a Board Committee, which serves as our audit committee, which is composed of three board members. As of December 31, 2004, the directors serving on AES Gener's Board Committee were René Cortázar, Daniel
Yarur and Eduardo Dutrey. During 2004, Mr. Yarur, who resigned as director in March 2005, was the President of the Board Committee. At the board meeting held on April 19, 2005, René Cortázar, Eduardo Dutrey and Edgardo Campelo were
selected as Board Committee members and at the first committee meeting held on April 27, 2005, Mr. Dutrey was chosen to be President of the committee. At the board of directors meeting held on May 11, 2005, the board accepted the resignation of
Edgardo Campelo and Axel Christensen was selected to replace him as director and Board Committee member. The Board Committee has the following principal duties:

Our board of directors determined that Mr. Daniel Yarur and Mr. René Cortázar, both members of our Board Committee during 2004, met the requirements of an "audit committee financial expert", as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC. In March 2005, Daniel Yarur resigned as director but Mr. Cortázar continues as member of the committee. Additionally, Axel Christensen, who became a director and Board Committee member in May 2005, also meets the
requirements of audit committee financial expert.

Labor relations for employees are governed by collective bargaining agreements executed separately by each of AES Gener S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries with their employees. These collective bargaining agreements establish compensation
levels and other benefits.

- AES Gener S.A. is party to two collective bargaining agreements that were signed in October 2003 and November 2003. These collective bargaining agreements encompass 60% of all workers at the AES Gener S.A. level and will expire in December 2005 and April 2006, respectively. AES Gener S.A.'s current collective bargaining agreements provide for profit-sharing and performance bonuses.

- Norgener's existing collective bargaining agreement was executed in May 2004. This agreement covers 47% of the companys employees and will expire in May 2006.
- Chivor is party to collective bargaining agreements which establish compensation levels and other benefits for most of the companys employees. During 2003, negotiations with the union were conducted in order to agree on the collective
bargaining agreement for the upcoming years. Since no agreement was reached, an arbitration panel was convened and a ruling was issued on December 12, 2003. However, the union appealed the ruling before the Colombian Supreme Court. The courts
final decision authorized an increase in inflation adjusted wages and reduced leaves of absence by 30%, while maintaining the other general terms of the previous agreement. This agreement expired on March 31, 2005. The Company and the union have
initiated negotiations in order to agree on the new collective bargaining contract to be in force for the upcoming years.

E. Share Ownership

None of our directors or executive officers owns AES Gener shares. For more information see "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions". AES Gener does not provide its management or employees with any type of stock option plans or
capital participation. However, The AES Corporation has a long-term compensation plan that includes the provision of stock options and other long-term stock benefits to employees of its subsidiaries, including AES Gener. The Company accounts for
these plans using the fair value method. Compensation expense under these plans was not material in any of the periods or prior years presented. See note 37 I (t) Long Term Compensation to our audited consolidated financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 contained in Item 18 herein.

As of April 30, 2005, our main shareholder, with 98.79% of our outstanding common stock, was Inversiones Cachagua Limitada, a wholly owned subsidiary of The AES Corporation. The remaining 1.21% of our outstanding common stock is owned by certain
minority investors. As of April 30, 2005, we have no outstanding shares held in the United States.

Significant Changes in Ownership by Major Shareholders

Our Acquisition by The AES Corporation

On November 3, 2000, The AES Corporation, through its subsidiary Cachagua, announced a tender offer for 61.57% of our outstanding shares in Chile for cash, as well as a tender offer for all of our American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, for The AES
Corporations shares. The purchase price for the offer was US$16.50 per ADS, or its equivalent in Chilean pesos per common share.

On November 28, 2000, The AES Corporation entered into an agreement with Total, pursuant to which The AES Corporation agreed to cause us to sell to Total all of our Argentine assets and certain other interests for a total of US$657.5 million, if
The AES Corporation succeeded in its tender offer.

On December 28, 2000, The AES Corporation acquired 61.11% of our total capital for the Chilean peso equivalent of US$841.2 million and effectively assumed control of us. On January 9, 2001, The AES Corporation acquired an additional 34.56% of us
for a total purchase price of US$475.6 million in the form of The AES Corporations common stock. On February 28, 2001, The AES Corporation acquired 2.87% of us for a total purchase price of US$38 million by purchasing our shares on the
Santiago Stock Exchange. In December 2001, The AES Corporation acquired an additional 0.11% of our shares for a purchase price of US$1.2 million.

At that time, the total aggregate value for the acquisition of 98.65% of AES Gener was US$1,356 million.

In connection with our recent debt restructuring plan, on June 19, 2004, we completed our capital increase represented by a total of 714,084,243 shares of common stock totaling Ch$62,268 million (the equivalent of US$98.0 million at the time the
capital increase transactions occurred). Pursuant to the capital increase, Cachagua subscribed to 713,000,000 shares of our common stock on May 20, 2004, increasing its ownership from 98.65% to 98.79% . Therefore, the AES Corporation is currently
the owner of 98.79% of our total capital through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cachagua.

B. Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of our business, we engage in a variety of transactions with certain of our affiliates and related parties. Financial information concerning these transactions is set forth in note 23 to our audited consolidated financial
statements included in Item 18. Article 89 of the Chilean Corporations Law requires that companies' transactions with related parties be conducted on an arm's-length basis, at terms similar to those customarily prevailing in the market. Directors
and executive officers that violate Article 89 are liable for damages. We are required to compare the terms of any such transaction with those prevailing in the market on the date of the transaction.

In addition, Article 44 of the Chilean Corporations Law provides that any transaction in which a director has a personal interest or is acting on behalf of a third party may be approved only when the board of directors has previously been informed
and has approved of such director's interest and the terms of such transaction are similar to those prevailing in the market. In accordance with Chilean law, an interested director must refrain from voting on such a transaction under certain
circumstances. If the board of directors cannot reach a decision about the transaction, it may appoint two independent valuators or appraisers. The final conclusions of such valuators or appraisers must be made available to shareholders and
directors for a period of 20 business days, during which time shareholders representing 5% or more of the issued voting shares may request that the board call a shareholders' meeting to resolve the matter. All transactions by related parties
(Articles 44 and 89) must be evaluated by the executive committee before they receive board approval. All resolutions approving Article 44 transactions must be reported to the company's shareholders at the next annual shareholders' meeting.
Violations of this provision may result in administrative, criminal or civil liability to the corporation, the shareholders and/or third parties who suffer losses as a result of such violation. We believe that we have complied with the requirements
of Article 89 and Article 44 in all transactions with related parties.

In Chile, the transfer of funds between related companies in the form of short-term intercompany loans is common practice. All such transactions are subject to the supervision of our Board of Directors Committee. On February 28, 2001, we
signed a mercantile account agreement or intercompany account receivable with Cachagua, whose balance in its current account was adjusted in U.S. dollars and accrued interest at 30-day LIBOR plus spread. On May 15, 2003, Cachagua pledged those
shares of ours that it owned in our favor to guarantee the timely and complete payment of the intercompany account. Additionally, on May 15, 2003, the interest rate was modified to 10% annually. As part of our recently completed debt restructuring
plan, on February 27, 2004, Cachagua repaid in full all amounts due under the intercompany account, which on such date was US$298 million, including principal of US$247 million and interest of US$51 million.

In December 2003, our board of directors and Eléctrica Santiagos board of directors approved the transfer from AES Gener to Eléctrica Santiago of the 100 MW Renca plant and properties for US$26.3 million. This agreement was
executed in February 2004. In July 2004, the power purchase agreement between AES Gener and TermoAndes was modified. The agreement, pursuant to which we purchase 100% of TermoAndes electrical capacity, was originally entered into in 1997.
Prior to the closing of the TermoAndes and InterAndes debt restructuring in April 2004, the power purchase agreement also provided for a minimum monthly payment in amounts sufficient to cover the payment of interest and amortization of the US$257
million notes issued by TermoAndes and InterAndes. Under the current agreement, we make payments to TermoAndes on the basis of a variable energy payment in accordance with the energy effectively delivered by TermoAndes, plus a fixed transmission and
maintenance charge. In November 2004, AES Gener provided a 180-day renewable standby letter of credit for a total aggregate amount of up to US$9.7 million to guarantee the interest reserve account established under the indenture for Chivors
senior notes.

Legal Proceedings

As of June 20, 2004, we were involved in certain legal proceedings customary to the normal conduct of our business. The most important proceedings are summarized as follows:

- Since 2001, on-going disputes have existed between members of the CDEC-SIC with regard to the method for calculating firm capacity transfers and corresponding payments for all of the power plants in the SIC from the year 2000 forward. In April 2004,
the Ministry of Economy (the Ministry) issued Ministerial Resolution No. 17 (MR-17) which accepted Endesas previous request to reallocate firm capacity to hydroelectric plants with reservoirs, resulting in a decrease
for other plants in the SIC. We filed a motion for reconsideration of MR-17 and in June 2004, the Ministry issued Ministerial Resolution No. 35 (MR-35), which partially rejected our motion for reconsideration, ordering the CDEC-SIC to
apply the firm capacity calculation methodology of MR-17, but redefining the hours of highest demand. The Company and the other CDEC-SIC members filed responses to MR- 17 and in July 2004, the board of directors of the CDEC-SIC determined that the
issue would be resolved by the Experts Panel as defined by the Chilean Electricity Law. In September 2004, the Experts Panel reduced the period of highest daily demand specified in MR-119 and in October 2004, the CDEC-SIC determined the
corresponding firm capacity payments. Based on this ruling, AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Guacolda were to be paid Ch$6,744 million (US$12,099,000), Ch$3,667 million (US$6,579,000) and Ch$3,032 million (US$5,440,000), respectively, as of October 1, 2004, although payments were only received from some
generation companies. In October 2004, some members of the CDEC-SIC filed discrepancies with the calculations made by the CDEC-SIC, which were decided by the Experts Panel in December 2004. On January 18 and 19, 2005, based on the Experts Panel
opinions, the CDEC issued the results of the firm capacity transfers corresponding to

- The Public Emergency Law and supplementary regulations issued by the Argentine government in early 2002 converted into pesos, or pesofied, all obligations and private contracts executed by Argentine persons in U.S. dollars as of January 6, 2002, at
the exchange rate of Arg$1.00 per U.S. dollar. They also established that such obligations and contracts are to be adjusted by the CER, published by the Argentine Central Bank. TermoAndes has made payments to gas suppliers and transportation service
providers without adjustments by the CER, which has not been invoiced by the gas suppliers. During 2002, TermoAndes gas and transportation service providers requested the re-dollarization of TermoAndes gas supply and gas transport
contracts by the regulatory authorities, alleging that the Public Emergency Law does not apply to gas export contracts or gas transportation for gas exports or exports of gas-fueled electricity. TermoAndes responded to these requests by explaining
that it is an Argentine generation company and that all gas purchased by the company is consumed in Argentina and such gas is not intended for export. On January 30, 2004, the consortium of gas suppliers composed of Tecpetrol, Mobil and CGC filed
for arbitration at the ICC requesting the re-dollarization of the gas price. TermoAndes filed a countersuit on March 10, 2004.case was submitted to the arbitration tribunal for determination of the terms of reference. The parties are in the process
of offering evidence. In January 2005, all outstanding disputes between TermoAndes and its gas transportation service provider, Tranportadora de Gas del Norte, were resolved by the parties.
- On March 11, 2004, the Company commenced arbitration proceedings against Coastal our joint venture partner in Itabo. In August 2003, Coastal alleged that we violated certain electricity laws and regulations of the Dominican Republic and obtained a
decision from the Superintendence of Electricity which ordered us to dispose of our participation in Itabo, stating that The AES Corporations indirect participation in Itabo results in a violation of the limits on total ownership of electric
generation capacity in the Dominican Republic. In October 2003, Coastal sent us a notice of defaults and disputes claiming that we materially breached our shareholders agreement and reiterated its claims that we had violated electricity laws
and regulations, all of which we fully and formally denied. Pursuant to the terms of our shareholders agreement, the Company filed for arbitration at the ICC in March 2004. Coastal responded with a counterclaim and we filed our response to
their counterclaim in June 2004. The arbitration tribunal has been appointed. The Company believes that Coastal has no legitimate basis for its contractual claims and no legal grounds for its claims based on the electricity law, as the resolution
and a subsequent Formulation of Charges issued by the Superintendence of Electricity were rejected by a Dominican court. If Coastal is successful in its claims, we would be required to sell to Coastal our interest in Itabo at 75% of its
current independently determined value. In December 2004, Coastal filed a request for an interim award demanding that the tribunal prematurely order publication of a valuation of and on May 6, 2005, this request was denied.
- On July 13, 2004, AES Gener and Eléctrica de Santiago filed for arbitration at the ICC against the Sierra Chata Consortium of gas suppliers formed by Petrolera Santa Fe S.R.L., Mobil Exploration & Development Argentina Inc., Atalaya
Energy S.R.L., Canadian Hunter Argentina S.R.L. and Total Austral S.A. for breach of contract. AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago are demanding that the members of the Sierra Chata Consortium be required to provide the total agreed natural gas
supply and/or provide damage indemnification. The Company is seeking compensation of the direct damages as a consequence of the breach of contract. As of the date of the ICC filing, we estimated that the contractual damages in question totaled
US$7.3 million. We are also seeking compensation for future damages as provided under Argentine law. On October 8, 2004, the defendants responded asserting that the Argentine government has decreed the natural gas restrictions and as such they are
considered to be force majeure events under the contract. The three arbitrators composing the tribunal have been appointed. On May 13, 2005, AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago were notified that the defendants had submitted new facts in the
case and on May 26, 2005, we submitted a filing refuting said facts.

- There are also on-going disputes between members of the CDEC-SING with regard to the method for calculating firm capacity transfers and corresponding payments for all of the power plants in the SING from the year 2000 forward. In December 2003, the
Ministry issued Ministerial Resolution No. 106 (MR-106), which ruled favorably on a request by Gasatacama Generación Limitada to reverse with retroactive effect the previous firm capacity methodology approved by the Ministry and
applied by the CDEC-SING. In April 2004, Norgener submitted a motion to declare MR-106 void claiming that it contravenes applicable law and obtained a stay of MR-106. In June 2004, through Ministerial Resolution No. 39 (MR-39), this
motion was rejected by the Ministry. Subsequently, Norgener filed an appeal with the Contraloría de la República, an autonomous administrative government agency, claiming that MR-106 and MR-39 contravened applicable law which is still pending. In July 2004, AES Gener and Norgener made a payment for firm capacity of approximately Ch$2,014 million (US$3,613,000) to other generation companies in accordance with MR-106 for the period from January 2000 to May 2004. The Board of Directors of the CDEC-SING has submitted
three discrepancies to the Experts Panel with regard to the interpretation of MR-106. Based on the Experts Panels responses to these discrepancies issued in 2005, in March 2005, the CDEC-SING determined that we were to receive a reimbursement of the amount paid in July 2004 equal to approximately Ch$1,065 million and such payment was received on April 22, 2005. Two generation companies objected to the application period utilized by the CDEC- SING in its calculations and on April 26, 2005, the CDEC-SING submitted this issue to the Experts Panel for resolution. On May 31, 2005, the Experts Panel resolved this issue reducing the reimbursement received by Norgener in April 2005 by Ch$221 million.
- On September 24, 2004, the CSEC formulated charges against AES Gener and its subsidiaries Eléctrica Santiago and Energía Verde, for allegedly providing the CSEC with erroneous information regarding unregulated contract prices that are
used in calculating the regulated node prices during each semi-annual period. On October 13, 2004, AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Energía Verde submitted their responses in which they rejected the grounds for the charges.
- The CSEC has formulated charges against all members of the CDEC-SIC for alleged lack of coordination related to three system blackouts that occurred in September 2002, January 2003 and November 2003, respectively. In the case of the blackout that
occurred in September 2002, in a decision issued in August 2003, the CSEC applied fines to those companies found to have direct responsibility for the blackout, in addition to fining all members of the CDEC-SIC for alleged lack of coordination among
CDEC members, including AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Guacolda. AES Gener was fined 1,500 Annual Tax Units, or approximately US$979,000, as of December 31, 2004, and our subsidiary Eléctrica Santiago and our equity-method investee
Guacolda were both fined 1,000 Annual Tax Units, or approximately US$652,000, as of December 31, 2004. AES Gener and its related companies filed appeals before the CSEC and these appeals were rejected. We subsequently filed appeals before the
Santiago Court of Appeals, depositing in favor of the court 25% of the fine applied by the CSEC, as required and provisions were made accordingly. Additionally, on February 21, 2003, the CSEC formulated charges against all members of the CDEC-SIC
related to a system blackout that occurred in January 2003. With regard to this blackout, AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Guacolda were fined 560 Annual Tax Units, or approximately US$365,000 each, as of December 31, 2004 and appeals were
filed before the CSEC but no ruling has been issued. In April 2004, the CSEC formulated charges against all members of the CDEC-SIC, related to the system blackout that occurred in November 2003. To date, the CSEC has not issued fines related to
this blackout.
- On July 21, 2004, the Corporación Dominicana de Empresas Eléctricas Estatales (CDEEE), which is the government entity that currently owns 50% of Itabo, filed two lawsuits in the Dominican Republic against Itabo and its
president. In the first suit, CDEEE requests a rendering of accountability for the accounts of Itabo with regard to all transactions between Itabo and related parties. In the second suit, CDEEE requests that Itabo be ordered to deliver CDEEE its
accounting books and records for the period from September 1999 to July 2004, and that an independent expert audit the accounting records and submit a report to CDEEE and the courts, in addition to the payment of a fine of approximately US$4,000.
CDEEE additionally requested the seizure, garnishment and attachment of goods and assets owned by Itabo and its president in the event Itabo fails to render the requested accountability. In accordance with the statutory and contractual provisions
between CDEEE and Itabo, as related parties in

| | Itabos capitalization process, the parties are required to conduct an arbitration proceeding for the settlement of any controversy, claim or dispute, including a petition requesting a rendering of accountability or the imposition of damages.
In relation to the first suit for the rendering of accountability, the court dismissed CDEEEs request on November 29, 2004 and CDEEE appealed this decision. A hearing was held on May 12, 2005 and Itabo requested that the court declare its
jurisdictional incompetence to decide the matter based on the ongoing ICC arbitration described below. The court reserved judgment with regard to Itabos jurisdictional request and set a hearing for May 27, 2005 at which the parties were to
present and document their allegations. On May 25, 2005, Itabo appealed the May 12, 2005 decision to a higher court in the Dominican Republic and on May 26, 2005, it filed a lawsuit with the United States District Court of the Southern District of
New York in which it seeks relief on aid of the ongoing arbitration. With regard to the second suit, a hearing was held on March 30, 2005. In this case, Itabo also requested that the court declare its jurisdictional incompetence to decide the matter
and held that the case should be decided in an arbitration proceeding. The judge requested that the parties submit briefs and reserved resolution of the jurisdictional issue. The parties made the requested filings in April 2005. On February 9, 2005,
Itabo filed a lawsuit for arbitration with the ICC against CDEEE and the Fondo Patrimonial de las Empresas Reformadas(FONPER), a state-owned fund which administers the earnings of certain government-owned companies, such as
CDEEE. Itabos principal requests include: a ruling that CDEEE and FONPER have not complied with the terms of the contracts executed by the parties with regard to the resolution of disputes and non-interference in the management of Itabo, and
that the defendants not be allowed to initiate and/or continue any proceeding against Itabo other than the type of proceedings specifically addressed in the agreements between the parties. FONPER responded to Itabos lawsuit and filed a
counterclaim on April 21, 2005. CDEEE submitted its response on April 23, 2005 and Itabo filed comments to FONPERs counterclaim on May 12, 2005. The tribunal is in the process of being constituted. On June 16, 2005, Itabo filed a request for
injunctive relief in the arbitration proceeding which requests CDEEE to discontinue all proceedings that have been filed in courts in the Dominican Republic.

- In May 2002, we were served with a lawsuit by BTI Corporation (Delaware) Inc., or Bankers Trust, as assignee of the trustee in the bankruptcy of Cordex Petroleums Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada. The total amount
sought against the Company in the lawsuit is US$8.7 million plus interest and legal fees. The lawsuit is based on breach of contract, inducing breach of contracts, inducing breach of fiduciary duty and fraud against AES Gener related to its alleged
collusion with the other defendant, Mr. Ralph Wilkerson to breach his contractual and fiduciary duties owed to Cordex Petroleums, Inc. The lawsuit was filed with the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary, Canada. In
July 2002, we submitted a motion for dismissal claiming, among other things, lack of jurisdiction of the Canadian Courts and the improper obtainment of a court order allowing the plaintiff to serve the claim on AES Gener in Chile. A hearing was
originally set for February 6, 2003, but it was suspended due to a dispute related to the late filing of an affidavit by the plaintiff in response to the motion. In March 2004, the Alberta Court of Appeals ruled that a previous decision regarding
the admissibility of the plaintiffs late-filed affidavit was premature and that the issue should be determined by the judge who is to hear AES Gener's motion to dismiss. As of December 31, 2004, the parties were negotiating a settlement and on
June 6, 2005, the parties reached a mutual release and settlement agreement. On June 10, 2005, the plaintiff filed the corresponding motion for discontinuation of action before the Alberta Courts.
- In December 1999, the Company filed for arbitration against Hidroeléctrica Guardia Vieja S.A. and Hidroeléctrica Aconcagua S.A. (HGV-HASA), claiming default in the performance of contractual obligations related to an energy
and capacity sales contract. In December 2001, the arbitrator rendered an award, which consistent with the Companys request, ordered the amendment of the Sales Agreement of Electric Power and Capacity and Others executed between
AES Gener and HGV-HASA on November 2, 1993. This award ordered the re-issuance of the invoices exchanged between the parties from April 1998 until the final date of effective compliance with the award. The Companys original claim was for the
amount of Ch$5,444 million (approximately US$9 million). As of December 31, 2004 the amount, including interest and amendments to the contract was Ch$9,064 million (approximately US$16 million). The defendants filed an extraordinary appeal
(Recurso de Casación)before the Santiago Court of Appeals against the arbitral award which is still pending. In 2001, based on the arbitral award,

against the contingent gain recorded in 2001.

- In November 2004, AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago were notified of a lawsuit filed against them by three insurance companies: Liberty Compañía de Seguros, Compañía de Seguros Generales Cruz del Sur S.A. and
Compañía de Seguros Generales Penta Security S.A. (the insurance companies). The insurance companies paid Codelco-Andina (a copper mine owned by the Chilean government through the Corporación Nacional de
Cobre, Codelco or the National Copper Corporation) for production loss damages due to the failure of an electric transmission line owned by Codelco in June 2000. Eléctrica Santiago subsequently offered to deliver electricity to
Codelco-Andina through transmission lines owned by AES Gener, subject to potential supply restrictions in AES Geners transmission lines. In December 2000, the restrictions in AES Geners system increased and Eléctrica
Santiagos electricity supply to Codelco Andina was reduced. In an arbitration proceeding in Chile, the insurance companies were required to pay US$ 6.1 million in damages to Codelco. The insurance companies are seeking recovery from AES Gener
and Eléctrica Santiago, by virtue of subrogation of the insured rights, of compensation in the amount of US$6.6 million which includes the damages paid by them to Codelco, in addition to expenses, fees and interest. The insurance companies
have charged the Company with breach of contract and have based the claim for compensation on the lack of written notice by Eléctrica Santiago and AES Gener regarding the alternative transmission line restrictions, affirming that if written notice had been appropriately provided, Codelco-Andina would have adopted preventive measures to avoid damages, particularly production losses. Additionally,
the insurance companies have filed a claim for compensation in the same amount for damages related to extra-contractual liabilities, in the event that the lawsuit seeking compensation for damages related to AES Geners contractual liabilities
is rejected or the court determines that all or a portion of Eléctrica Santiagos responsibility exceeds contractual boundaries. On December 21, 2004, Eléctrica Santiago and AES Gener separately filed incidental proceedings to
stay the main litigation and dilatory pleas which included a plea regarding the courts jurisdictional incompetence. Both incidental proceedings were denied and we have appealed these rulings. The dilatory pleas are pending.
- AES Gener and Electroandina S.A. (Electroandina) are parties to an agreement under which Electroandina agreed to unload, manage and store coal for Norgener in its facilities located at the port of Tocopilla in Northern Chile. Norgener utilizes such coal to generate electricity in its Tocopilla thermoelectric power plant. Electroandina
provided notice that it would terminate the agreement, effective August 28, 2005, and offered to negotiate a new agreement. On May 18, 2005, AES Gener and Norgener filed a lawsuit against Electroandina before the Chilean Court for Free Competition
which alleges that: (i) Electroandina has a monopoly in the market for the unloading, management and storage of coal in Tocopilla; (ii) Electroandina has abused its monopolistic position in such market in order to obtain undue profit in the port
business and electricity business in the SING. AES Gener and Norgener have requested that the court order Electroandina: (a) to refrain from demanding tariff increases and other conditions that are not supported by cost increases or service
improvements, that are not related to the effective use of its facilities, or that are not directly related to the unloading, management and storage of coal; and (b) to present an objective and non-discriminatory price system for the services it
provides based on long-term marginal costs. Additionally, we have requested that the court sanction Electroandina with a fine of up to approximately US$1.2 million. AES Gener and Norgener separately requested an interim injunction requiring Electroandina to
continue performing under the current agreement subsequent to August 28, 2005 until a final decision is issued. Electroandina responded to the interim request on June 13, 2005 and must respond to the lawsuit by June 22, 2005.

For further details concerning these and other contingencies, see note 26 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 18.

Dividend Policy

Our dividend policy for each year is announced to our shareholders at our annual ordinary shareholders' meeting, including the policy intended to be followed by the board of directors for interim dividends for that year. At the meeting,

94

Table of Contents

shareholders consider and approve the final dividend proposed by the board of directors with respect to the prior year's earnings, and ratify the interim dividends previously declared and paid. As required by Chilean law, unless otherwise decided
unanimously by the shareholders, we must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of our consolidated net income for that year, determined on a Chilean GAAP basis, unless and except to the extent to which we have accumulated
losses. Our board of directors may also distribute interim dividends based on net income projections, as long as there are no accumulated losses, and subject to directors' personal liability for any difference between the final annual net income and
the aggregate interim dividend distributed during the year. It is our current dividend policy to distribute dividends equal to or in excess of the statutory minimum.

In 2002, no dividends were paid on account of our losses in 2001. In 2003, dividends equal to 30% of adjusted consolidated net income for the year 2002 were declared, as required by Chilean law, and paid on May 19, 2003. Subsequently, on July 9,
2003, dividends equal to the remaining 70% of adjusted consolidated net income for 2002 were approved at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting and paid on August 5, 2003; however, all dividends owed to our immediate parent company, Cachagua, were
used to pay amounts due to us under the intercompany account. On February 19, 2004, dividends equal to 100% of net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 50% of retained earnings were declared, and such dividend was paid on February 27,
2004.

Additionally, at the annual ordinary shareholders' meeting held on February 27, 2004, the dividend policy adopted by the board of directors at the regular board meeting held on January 29, 2004 was announced to shareholders. The board of
directors policy included the intention to distribute at least 50% of the net income generated during 2004 and also to pay an interim dividend in 2004. In determining the dividend policy for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, the board
of directors specified that the payment of the proposed dividends would be subject to the net income realized during the period as well as the financial projections periodically conducted by the Company throughout the year. The dividend policy
adopted by the board of directors at the regular board meeting held on March 9, 2005 for the year ending December 31, 2005 was announced at the annual ordinary shareholders' meeting held on April 7, 2005. The policy is similar to that applied during
the previous period including the intention to distribute at least 50% of the net income generated during 2005 and also to pay an interim dividend during the year. The board of directors again specified that the payment of dividends would be subject
to net income realized during the period, the Companys periodic financial projections and compliance with the Companys by-laws and outstanding credit agreements. The board of directors also notified shareholders of its intention to
maintain a similar dividend policy in the medium term future.

At a meeting held on August 22, 2004, our board of directors approved the distribution of an interim dividend in Chilean pesos in the amount equal to US$19.5 million, or US$0.00305 per share. This dividend was paid to shareholders on September 16,
2004. At a meeting held on December 6, 2004, our board of directors approved the distribution of an interim dividend in Chilean pesos in the amount equal to US$35.1 million, or US$0.0055 per share. This dividend was paid to shareholders on December
28, 2004. At the annual ordinary shareholders' meeting held on April 7, 2005, the board of directors presented a proposal to distribute 99.45% of the net income generated during the year ended December 31, 2004 which was approved by the
shareholders. Based on this, and considering the interim dividends that were previously distributed during 2004, the shareholders agreed to distribute an additional dividend in Chilean pesos in the amount of Ch$6,748 million or Ch$6.14 per share
(approximately US$11.5 million or US$0.0011 per share) which was paid on April 29, 2005.

Dividends are not price-level adjusted between the end of the preceding year and the declaration of the final dividend. The amount and timing of dividend payments are subject to revision from time to time and depend on revenues, costs, cash flow,
capital requirements and market conditions. Any change in dividend policy would ordinarily be effective for dividends declared in the year following the adoption of the change. In addition, we must file a notice as to any such change of policy with
Chilean regulatory authorities. Accordingly, a change in policy would become publicly available information.

Some of our subsidiaries and equity-method investees are or may become parties to credit agreements containing restrictions on the payment of dividends. We cannot assure you that these contractual restrictions will not limit our ability to maintain
our current dividend policy in the future.

The following table sets forth the amounts of annual dividends, on a per share basis in nominal Chilean pesos, paid in each of the calendar years indicated. Information has been translated into U.S. dollars at the historical Observed Exchange Rates
on the respective dates of payment of dividends.

C. Markets

The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. The Santiago Stock Exchange was established in 1893 and is a private company whose equity consists of 48
shares held by 46 shareholders. Equity, closed-end funds, fixed-income securities, short-term and money market securities, gold, silver and U.S. dollars are traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange. In 1991, the Santiago Stock Exchange initiated a
futures market with two instruments: U.S. dollars futures and Selective Share Price Index, or IPSA, futures. In 1994, the Santiago Stock Exchange initiated an option market. Securities are traded through an open voice auction system and an
electronic auction system called Telepregon. Trading through the open voice system occurs each business day from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The electronic trading system operates between 9:00 a.m. and 9:25 a.m. on a pre-opening basis and for high
volumes from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The three main share price indices for the Santiago Stock Exchange are the General Share Price Index, or the IGPA, the IPSA and the Inter-10, which corresponds with the 10 most active Chilean American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs, each quarter. The
IGPA is calculated using the prices of 177 issues and is broken into five main sectors: banks and finance, farming and forest products, mining, industrials and miscellaneous. The IPSA is a major company index, which currently includes the most 40
active stocks on the Santiago Stock Exchange. Shares included in the IPSA are weighted according to the value of the shares traded. Our common stock is included in the IGPA.

In addition to the Santiago Stock Exchange, the second largest stock exchange in Chile is the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange created in 1989. The Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange is an electronic trading market created by certain banks and
brokerage houses, the main feature of which is that all the transactions are made solely by electronic means. There are two main share prices indices for the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange: the Global Index and the ADRIAN. The Global Index is
comprised of the 42 shares most representative of the Chilean economy, which are integrated by four industrial sectors: electricity, services, industry and natural resources. Our common stock is also included in the Global Index. Less than 1% of the
equity securities in Chile are traded on the Valparaíso Stock Exchange.

Our 7.5% senior notes due 2014 are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

Shares of our common stock were traded in the United States on the New York Stock Exchange in the form of American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, from July 1994 until January 2001. After an exchange offer made by The AES Corporation, our ADSs were
delisted from the New York Stock Exchange because the number of publicly held shares was less than 600,000. In April 2003, all remaining ADSs were converted and sold on the Santiago Stock Exchange.

General

Shareholders' rights in Chilean corporations are governed by each corporation's estatutos, or by-laws, which effectively serve the purpose of both the certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of a company incorporated in the United
States, and by the Chilean Corporations Law.

Article 137 of the Chilean Corporations Law provides that all provisions of the Chilean Corporations Law take precedence over any contrary provision in a corporation's estatutos. Both the Chilean Corporations Law and our estatutos
provide that legal actions by shareholders against us (or our officers or directors) to enforce their rights as shareholders or by one shareholder against another in its capacity as such are to be brought in Chile in the form of arbitration
proceedings, notwithstanding the plaintiff's right to submit the action to the ordinary courts of Chile.

The Chilean securities markets are principally regulated by the SVS under the Chilean Securities Market Law and the Chilean Corporations Law. These two laws provide for disclosure requirements, restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation
and protection of minority investors. The Chilean Securities Market Law sets forth requirements for public offerings, stock exchanges and brokers and outlines disclosure requirements for companies that issue publicly offered securities. The Chilean
Corporations Law sets forth the rules and requirements for establishing open stock (publicly-held) corporations, while eliminating government supervision of closed (privately-held) companies. Open stock corporations are those with 500 or more
shareholders or companies in which 100 or more shareholders own at least 10% of the subscribed capital, excluding all shareholders which directly or indirectly own more than such 10%, and all other companies that are voluntarily registered in the
Securities Registry of the SVS.

Registration and Corporate Purpose

We are a sociedad anónima abierta, or an open stock corporation, organized by means of an escritura pública, or public deed, dated June 19, 1981. Our by-laws were approved by the SVS by Resolution No. 410-S, dated July
17, 1981 and published in the Official Gazette No. 31,023 on July 23, 1981. It was recorded in Page 13,107, No. 7,274 of Santiago's Registry of Commerce in 1981.

As established in our by-laws, our principal objective is to exploit the generation, transmission, purchase, distribution and sale of electricity or any other kind of energy, although the by-laws authorize other business activities such as fuel
marketing and sales, project engineering services, and port services, among others. As demonstrated by the divestiture of our non-electricity assets in recent years, we have refocused primarily on electricity generation in Chile as our core business
activity.

By-law Provisions

98

##### 

Table of Contents

As mentioned above (See Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and EmployeesBoard of Directors), we are managed by our board of directors, which in accordance with our by-laws is comprised of seven regular directors and seven
alternate directors who are elected at an annual regular shareholders meeting. The entire board of directors is elected every three years. The board of directors meetings are constituted with the assistance of a minimum of four directors
and approvals are granted by absolute majority of the assisting directors. If there is a tie, the director presiding the meeting casts the deciding vote. Other provisions of our by-laws include:

- the prohibition of loans from us to our controlling shareholder or its related entities (other than any of our subsidiaries);
- the requirement of the affirmative vote of one of our directors who is independent from our controlling shareholder (i.e., a director who would have been elected regardless of the votes of such shareholder) in order to approve transactions between
(i) us, on the one hand, and one or more of our directors (whether the directors are acting for their account or as representatives of another entity), on the other hand; and (ii) us, whether directly or through one of the entities of our business
group, on the one hand, and one or more of our related entities (other than any of our subsidiaries), on the other hand; and
- the requirement of the affirmative vote of 85% of our issued and outstanding shares having the right to vote in order to approve one or more of the following actions:
- proposed contributions in kind and the related valuation of the assets so contributed;
- a modification of the powers exercisable through shareholders' meetings or limitations on the powers of the board of directors;
- proposed increases or decreases in the number of our directors; and
- proposed modifications or amendments to one or more of the provisions amended pursuant to the referred shareholders' meeting.

Ownership Restrictions

There are no limitations on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares.

Under Article 12 of the Chilean Securities Market Law and the regulations of the SVS, shareholders of open stock corporations, such as ours, are required to report the following to the SVS and the Chilean Stock Exchanges:

- any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares that results in the holder's acquiring or ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 10.0% or more of an open stock corporation's share capital; and
- any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares or options to buy or sell shares, in any amount, if made by a holder of 10.0% or more of an open stock corporation's capital or if made by a director, liquidator, executive officer, general
manager or manager of such corporation.

In addition, majority shareholders must state in their report whether their purpose is to acquire control of the company or to make a financial investment.

Under Article 54 of the Chilean Securities Market Law and the regulations of the SVS, persons or entities intending to acquire control, directly or indirectly, of a publicly traded company, regardless of the acquisition vehicle or procedure, and
including acquisitions made through direct subscriptions or private transactions, are also required to inform the public of such acquisition of control at least 10 business days before the date on which the transaction is to be completed, but, in
any case, as soon as negotiations regarding the change of control begin (i.e., when information and documents concerning the target are delivered to the potential acquiror), through a filing with the SVS, the stock exchanges where the target
is listed and the

99

Table of Contents

companies controlled by and that control the target and through a notice published in two Chilean newspapers which must disclose, among other information, the person or entity purchasing or selling and the price and conditions of any negotiations.

Prior to such publication, a written communication to such effect must be sent to the target corporation, to the controlling corporation, to the corporations controlled by the target corporation, to the SVS and to the Chilean stock exchanges on
which the securities are listed.

In addition to the foregoing, Article 54 A of the Chilean Securities Market Law requires that within two business days of the completion of the transactions pursuant to which a person has acquired control of a publicly traded company, a notice must
be published in the same newspapers in which the notice referred to above was published, and written communications must be sent to the same entities mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.

The provisions of the aforementioned articles do not apply whenever the acquisition is being made through a tender or an exchange offer.

Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law on tender offers and the regulations of the SVS provide that the following transactions must be carried out through a tender offer:

- an offer that allows a person to take control of a publicly traded company, unless the shares are being sold by a controlling shareholder of such company at a price in cash which is not substantially higher than the market price and the shares of
such company are actively traded on a stock exchange;
- an offer for all the outstanding shares of a publicly traded company upon acquiring two thirds or more of its voting shares (this offer must be made at a price not lower than the price at which appraisal rights may be exercised, that is, book value
if the shares of the company are not actively traded or, if the shares of the company are actively traded, the weighted average price at which the stock has been traded during the two months immediately preceding the acquisition); and
- an offer for a controlling percentage of the shares of a listed operating company if such person intends to take control of the company (whether listed or not) controlling such listed operating company, to the extent that the listed operating
company represents 75.0% or more of the consolidated net worth of the holding company.

Article 200 of the Chilean Securities Market Law prohibits any shareholder that has taken control of a publicly traded company from acquiring, for a period of 12 months from the date of the transaction that granted it control of the publicly traded
company, a number of shares equal to or greater than 3.0% of the outstanding issued shares of the target, without making a tender offer at a price per share that is not lower than the price paid at the time of taking control. Should the acquisition
from the other shareholders of the company be made on the floor of a stock exchange and on a pro rata basis, the controlling shareholder may purchase a higher percentage of shares, if so permitted by the regulations of the stock exchange.

Title XV of the Chilean Securities Market Law sets forth the basis for determining what constitutes a controlling power, a direct holding and a related party. The Chilean Securities Market Law defines control as the power of a person, or group of
persons acting pursuant to a joint action agreement, to direct the majority of the votes in the shareholders' meetings of the corporation, to elect the majority of members of its board of directors, or to influence the management of the corporation
significantly. Significant influence is deemed to exist with respect to a person or group which holds, directly or indirectly, at least 25.0% of the voting share capital, unless:

- another person or group of persons acting pursuant to joint action agreement, directly or indirectly, controls a stake equal to or higher than the percentage controlled by such person or group;
- the person or group does not control, directly or indirectly, more than 40.0% of the voting share capital, and the percentage controlled is lower than the sum of the shares held by other shareholders holding more than 5.0% of the share capital;
and
- in cases where the SVS has ruled otherwise, based on the distribution or dispersion of the overall shareholding.

Table of Contents

According to the Chilean Securities Market Law, a joint action agreement is an agreement among two or more parties that, directly or indirectly, own shares in a corporation at the same time and whereby they agree to participate with the same
interest in the management of the corporation or in taking control of the same. The law presumes that such an agreement exists between:

- a principal and its agents;
- spouses and other relatives up to a certain level of kindred;
- entities within the same business group; and
- an entity and its controller or any of its members.

Likewise, the SVS may determine that a joint action agreement exists between two or more entities considering, among others, the number of companies in which they participate, the frequency with which they vote identically in the election of
directors, appointment of managers and other resolutions passed at shareholders' meetings.

According to Article 96 of the Chilean Securities Market Law, a business group is a group of entities with such ties in their ownership, management or credit liabilities that it may be assumed that the economic and financial action of such members
is directed by, or subordinated to, the joint interests of the group, or that there are common credit risks in the credits granted to, or securities issued by, them. According to the Chilean Securities Market Law, the following entities are part of
the same business group:

- a company and its controller; or
- all companies under common control and the controller thereof, including all of the entities that the SVS declares to be part of the business group due to one or more of the following reasons:
- a substantial part of the assets of the company is involved in the business group, whether as investments in securities, equity rights, loans or guaranties;
- the company has a significant level of indebtedness, and the business group has a material participation as a lender or guarantor;
- when the controller of the entities mentioned in the first two sub-bullets above is a group of entities, and the company is one of the members of such group, and there are grounds to include the company in the business group; and
- when the controller of a company is a group of entities, if the company is controlled by a member of the controlling group, and there are grounds to include it in the business group.

Preemptive Rights and Increases of Share Capital

The Chilean Corporations Law provides that whenever a Chilean company issues new shares it must offer its existing shareholders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing percentage of ownership in the company.
Under Chilean law, preemptive rights are exercisable or freely transferable by shareholders during a period of 30 days following the grant of such rights. During such period and for an additional 30-day period, a Chilean open stock corporation is
not permitted to offer any unsubscribed shares for sale to third parties on terms that are more favorable than those offered to its shareholders. At the end of the additional 30-day period, a Chilean open stock corporation, such as AES Gener S.A.,
is authorized to sell unsubscribed shares to third parties on any terms, provided that, if such unsubscribed shares are sold on more favorable terms, they must be sold on a Chilean Stock Exchange.

Table of Contents

Unsubscribed shares that are not sold on a Chilean Stock Exchange can be sold to third parties only on terms no more favorable for the purchasers than those offered to shareholders.

Under Chilean law, the shareholders of a company, acting at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, have the power to authorize an increase in the company's capital. When an investor subscribes for issued shares, the shares are registered in that
investor's name, even if not paid for, and the investor is treated as a shareholder for all purposes, except with regard to the receipt of dividends and the return of capital, provided that the shareholders may, by amending the by-laws, also grant
the right to receive dividends or distributions of capital. The investor becomes eligible to receive dividends and/or returns of capital once he or she has paid for the shares, and, if he or she has paid for only a portion of such shares, he or she
is entitled to receive a corresponding pro rata portion of the dividends declared with respect to such shares, unless the company's estatutos provide otherwise. If an investor does not pay for the shares for which he or she has subscribed on
or prior to the date agreed upon for payment, under Chilean law the company is entitled to auction the shares off on a stock exchange, and collect the difference, if any, between the subscription price and the price received at auction. However,
until such shares are sold at auction, the investor may continue to exercise all the rights of a shareholder, except the right to receive dividends and returns of capital. Authorized shares and issued shares that have not been paid for within the
period fixed by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting for their payment, which in any case cannot exceed three years from the date of the shareholders' meeting that authorized the increase in capital, are canceled and are no longer available to be
issued.

Article 22 of Chilean Corporations Law states that the purchaser of shares of a company implicitly accepts its by-laws and any agreements adopted at shareholders' meetings.

As of January 1, 2004, our share capital consisted of 8,428,659,801 authorized shares of common stock, of which 5,672,752,777 were subscribed for and fully paid. During three transactions which occurred in March, April and May 2004, we fully
redeemed our U.S. convertible notes and Chilean convertible notes and cancelled the outstanding 2,289,067,742 shares of common stock which had been reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the notes. Additionally, on March 10, 2004, we held an
extraordinary shareholders' meeting to revoke a capital increase of approximately US$80 million approved by our shareholders on November 21, 2003, authorizing the issuance of 466,839,282 shares of common stock which were in the process of being
registered with the SVS. On June 19, 2004, we completed a capital increase represented by a total of 714,084,243 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2004, our share capital consisted of 6,386,837,020 authorized shares of common stock, all of
which are subscribed for and fully paid. Chilean law recognizes the right to issue common stock and preferred stock. To date, we have issued and are authorized to issue only common stock.

Shareholders' Meetings and Voting Rights

In accordance with Chilean law, an ordinary annual meeting of our shareholders is held within the first four months of each year. The ordinary annual meeting of shareholders approves our annual report and annual financial statements. It also
approves all dividends to be paid, elects the board of directors and external auditors and approves any other matter which is not required to be decided by an extraordinary shareholders' meeting. Our last ordinary annual meeting of shareholders was
held on April 7, 2005. Extraordinary shareholders' meetings may be called by the board of directors when deemed appropriate and must be called by the board of directors when requested by shareholders representing at least 10% of the issued voting
shares or by the SVS.

The following matters may only be dealt with at extraordinary shareholders' meetings:

- our dissolution;
- a change in our corporate form, merger, division or amendment of our by-laws;
- the issuance of bonds or notes convertible into shares;
- the transfer of 50% or more of our assets, regardless of whether they include liabilities, or 50% or more of our liabilities;
- the creation of a security interest, or guarantee to secure the obligations of third parties, except for the obligations of our subsidiaries, in which case the approval of the board of directors shall suffice; and

102

---

##### 

Table of Contents

- other matters determined by Chilean law or our by-laws.

Notice to convene the annual ordinary meeting or an extraordinary meeting is given by means of three notices which must be published in a newspaper of our corporate domicile, which is currently Santiago, or in the Official Gazette in a prescribed
manner, and the first notice must be published not less than 15 days nor more than 20 days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Notice must also be mailed 15 days in advance to each shareholder and given to the SVS and the Chilean Stock Exchanges.
Currently, we publish our official notice in El Diario Financiero, which is published in Santiago, Chile.

The quorum for a shareholders' meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least an absolute majority of our issued voting shares. If a quorum is not present at the first meeting, the meeting can
be reconvened, and, upon the meeting being reconvened, the shareholders present at the reconvened meeting are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the percentage of the shares represented. The shareholders' meetings pass resolutions by the
affirmative vote of an absolute majority of those voting shares present or represented at the meeting. Such resolutions may involve all matters that may be submitted to the shareholders' meeting, such as the amount of the yearly dividend, the
designation of our auditors, the approval of our annual report and financial statements, the election of directors, the issuance of bonds and the creation of security interests or guarantees to secure third-party obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a two-thirds majority of the issued voting stock is required to approve the following actions:

- a change in corporate form, merger or division;
- an amendment to our term of duration or for our early dissolution;
- a change in corporate domicile;
- a decrease in corporate capital;
- the approval of capital contributions in kind and the valuation of such assets;
- a modification of the powers exercisable through shareholders' meetings or limitations on the powers of the board of directors;
- a reduction in the number of members of the board of directors;
- the transfer of 50% or more of our assets, regardless of whether they include liabilities, or the approval or amendment of a business plan that contemplates the transfer of 50% or more of our assets percentage;
- the form of distributing corporate benefits;
- the creation of security interests or guarantees to secure the obligations of third parties, except for those of subsidiaries;
- the repurchase of shares;
- the approval of material related-party transactions when requested by shareholders representing at least 5.0% of the issued and outstanding shares with the right to vote;
- the decision whether to make private a public corporation in case the requirements set forth in " General" cease to be met;
- certain other actions specified in the by-laws; and
- the correction of procedural errors in the constitution of the company or in an amendment to the by-laws in case such amendment involves one or more of the above-mentioned actions.

Table of Contents

Under our by-laws, directors are elected by cumulative voting. Each shareholder has one vote per share and may cast all of his or her votes in favor of one nominee or may apportion his or her votes among any number of nominees. These voting
provisions currently ensure that a shareholder owning more than 12.5% of our outstanding shares is able to elect at least one representative to our board of directors.

In general, Chilean law does not require a Chilean open stock corporation to provide the level and type of information that the U.S. securities laws require a U.S. reporting company to provide to its shareholders in connection with a solicitation
of proxies. However, shareholders are entitled to examine our books within the 15-day period before the scheduled ordinary annual shareholders' meeting. Under Chilean law, a notice of a shareholders' meeting listing the issues to be addressed at the
meeting must be mailed not fewer than 15 days prior to the date of such meeting, and, in cases of an ordinary annual meeting, shareholders holding a prescribed minimum investment must be sent an annual report of our activities that includes audited
financial statements. Shareholders who do not fall into this category but who request it must also be sent a copy of our annual report.

The Chilean Corporations Law provides that whenever shareholders representing 10.0% or more of the issued voting shares so request, a Chilean company's annual report must include, in addition to the materials provided by the board of directors to
shareholders, such shareholders' comments and proposals in relation to the company's affairs. Similarly, the Chilean Corporations Law provides that whenever the board of directors of an open stock corporation convenes an ordinary meeting of the
shareholders and solicits proxies for that meeting, or distributes information supporting its decisions, or other similar material, it is obligated to include as an annex to its annual report any pertinent comments and proposals that may have been
made by shareholders owning 10.0% or more of the company's voting shares who have requested that such comments and proposals be so included.

Only shareholders registered as such on the fifth business day prior to the date of a meeting are entitled to attend and vote their shares. A shareholder may appoint another individual who need not be a shareholder as his proxy to attend and vote
on his behalf. Every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a shareholders' meeting has one vote for every share subscribed.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

In accordance with Chilean law, we must distribute an annual cash dividend equal to at least 30% of our annual consolidated net income calculated in accordance with Chilean GAAP, unless otherwise decided by a unanimous vote of the holders of the
issued shares and unless, and except to the extent that, we have accumulated losses. If there is no net income in a given year, we can elect, but are not legally obligated, to distribute dividends out of retained earnings. We may grant an option to
our shareholders to receive any dividend in excess of 30% of net income in cash, in our own shares or in shares of corporations we hold. Shareholders who do not expressly elect to receive a dividend other than in cash are legally presumed to have
decided to receive the dividend in cash. All of our shares are entitled to an equal distribution in all dividends we declare.

Dividends that are declared but not paid within the appropriate time period set forth in the Chilean Corporations Law (as to minimum dividends, 30 days after declaration; as to additional dividends, if any, the date set for payment at the time of
declaration) are adjusted to reflect the change in the value of the UF from the date set for payment to the date such dividends are actually paid. Such dividends also accrue interest at the then-prevailing rate for UF-denominated deposits during
such period. The right to receive a dividend lapses if it is not claimed within five years from the date that such dividend is payable. After that period, the amount not claimed is given to a non-profit organization, the Junta Nacional de Cuerpos
de Bomberos de Chile, or the National Corporation of Firefighters.

In the event of a liquidation, the holders of fully paid shares would participate equally and ratably in the distribution of assets remaining after payment to all creditors. Holders of shares that are not fully paid will participate in such
distribution in proportion to the amount paid.

In connection with our shareholders' meeting held on March 10, 2004, we amended our by-laws to restrict our ability to pay dividends, whether in cash or in kind, in excess of the statutory minimum under Chilean law, unless:

- prior to making any such dividend payment, the credit ratings of the indebtedness of AES Gener S.A. are affirmed at the investment grade level by two of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings Ltd.,
or their successors, or

- our interest coverage ratio is equal to or higher than 2.4:1 during the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters, provided that any dividends actually paid upon satisfaction of such test cannot exceed the equivalent of US$40 million per
quarter.

Our ability to pay dividends, whether in cash or in kind, in excess of the minimum required under Chilean law may also be limited by the indenture governing the senior notes issued in connection with our recapitalization plan unless we meet certain
financial ratio tests.

Approval of Financial Statements

Our board of directors is required to submit our consolidated financial statements to the shareholders annually for their approval. The approval or rejection of such financial statements is entirely within our shareholders' discretion. If our
shareholders reject the financial statements, the board of directors must submit new financial statements not later than 60 days from the date of such rejection. If our shareholders reject the new financial statements, our entire board of directors
is deemed to be removed from office and a new board is elected at the same meeting.

Directors who individually approved such financial statements are disqualified for reelection for the ensuing period.

Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Tender Their Shares

The Chilean Corporations Law provides that, upon the adoption at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting of any of the resolutions enumerated below, dissenting holders of voting shares have the right to withdraw from a Chilean company and to compel
that company to repurchase their shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions described below.

"Dissenting" shareholders are defined as those who vote against a resolution which results in the withdrawal right or, if absent at such a meeting, those who state in writing to the company their opposition to such resolution within the following
30 days. Dissenting shareholders must secure their withdrawal rights by tendering their stock to the company within 30 days after adoption of the resolution.

The price paid to a dissenting shareholder of an open stock corporation, such as us, whose shares are quoted and actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange, is the weighted average of the sale prices for the shares as reported on the stock
exchanges on which the shares are quoted for the two-month period preceding the shareholders' meeting giving rise to the withdrawal right. If, because of the volume, frequency, number and diversity of the buyers and sellers, the SVS determines that
the shares are not shares actively traded on a stock exchange or stock exchanges, the price paid to the dissenting shareholder is the book value. Book value for this purpose is paid-in capital plus reserves and profits, less losses, divided by the
total number of subscribed shares, whether entirely or partially paid. For the purposes of making this calculation, the last annual balance sheet shall be used, as adjusted to reflect inflation up to the date of the shareholders' meeting that gave
rise to the appraisal right.

The resolutions that result in a shareholder's right to withdraw are the following:

|(a) | a change in corporate form;

|   
|(d) | the creation of security interests or guarantees to secure the obligations of third parties other than subsidiaries;                                                                                                                      
|   
|(e) | the creation of preferential rights for a class of shares or an amendment to those already existing, in which case the right to withdraw only accrues to the dissenting shareholders of the class or classes of shares adversely affected;
|   
|(f) | the decision to make private a public corporation once the requirements set forth in "General" cease to be met;

Under Article 69-bis of the Chilean Corporations Law, the right to withdraw is also granted to shareholders (other than pension funds that administer private pension plans under the Chilean Pension Law), under certain terms and conditions, if an
open stock corporation were to become controlled by the State of Chile, directly or through any of its agencies, and if two independent rating agencies downgrade the rating of its stock from the first class as a result of certain actions specified
in Article 69-bis undertaken by the open stock corporation or the State of Chile that negatively and substantially affect the earnings of the company. Shareholders must perfect their withdrawal rights by tendering their shares to the corporation
within 30 days of the date of the publication of the new rating by two independent rating agencies. If the withdrawal right is exercised by a shareholder invoking Article 69-bis, the price paid to the dissenting shareholder shall be the weighted
average of the sales price for such corporation's shares as reported on the Chilean Stock Exchanges for the six-month period preceding the publication of the new rating by the two independent rating agencies. If the SVS determines that the shares
are not actively traded on a Chilean Stock Exchange, the price shall be the book value calculated as described above. The price must be paid within 60 days from the expiration of the 30-day period for the tendering of the shares.

In addition to the foregoing, under Article 69-69-bis of the Chilean Corporations Law, any person acquiring two-thirds or more of the shares with the right to vote of an open stock corporation (except in the case of a reduction of capital produced
as a result of not having fully subscribed and paid an increase of capital within the legal term) shall make, within the 30 days following such acquisition, a tender offer for the remaining shares at a price not lower than the one that would
correspond to shareholders exercising withdrawal rights. If the acquirer does not comply with these obligations, the minority shareholders shall have withdrawal rights.

Registrations and Transfers

On January 1, 2005, Depósito Central de Valores (DCV) became our acting registrar and transfer agent, upon the merger of our previous registrar and transfer agent,Empresa de Servicios BPO Sonda S.A,with DCV.

C. Material Contracts

In 2003 and 2004, we did not enter into any material contacts, other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

D. Exchange Controls

Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile

The Chilean Central Bank is responsible for monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile, among other things. Foreign investments can be registered with the Foreign Investment Committee under Decree-Law 600 of 1974
or with the Chilean Central Bank under the Chilean Central Bank Act, Law No. 18,840, dated October 1989. In March 2002, the current Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the Compendium) approved by the Chilean Central Bank became effective which ended the gradual process of deregulation of the foreign exchange market. The Compendium
removed certain restrictions previously applied to cross-border investment and financial transactions and enhanced the information compiled by the Chilean Central Bank.

E. Taxation

Chilean Tax Considerations

The following is a general summary of the material consequences under Chilean tax law, as currently in effect, of acquiring debt securities and the ownership and disposition of debt securities by a Foreign Holder. The term "Foreign Holder" means
(i) an individual not resident or domiciled in Chile (for purposes of Chilean taxation, (a) an individual is a resident of Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six months in one calendar year, or a total of more than six months in
two consecutive fiscal years or (b) an individual is domiciled in Chile if he or she resides in Chile with the purpose of staying in

Table of Contents

Chile (such purpose to be evidenced by circumstances such as the acceptance of employment within Chile or the relocation of one's family to Chile)) or (ii) a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile, unless the notes are assigned
to a branch or an agent representative or permanent establishment of such entity in Chile.

Interest Payment

Payments of interest or premium, if any, made by us in respect of the notes to a Foreign Holder will generally be subject to a Chilean withholding tax, or the Chilean Interest Withholding Tax currently assessed at a rate of 4%. However, the same
interests or premiums that qualify for the referenced 4% withholding tax rate are subject to a special additional tax equal to the difference between the withholding tax paid and a 35% rate when they are paid to related entities, on the part of our
indebtedness with related entities considered to be excessive. Our indebtedness will be considered to be excessive ("Excessive Indebtedness") when in the commercial year in which the notes are issued we have an indebtedness with related parties
qualifying for the 4% withholding tax rate that exceeds three times our net worth calculated for tax purposes. Consequently, such qualifying interests or premiums paid to related entities out of debt that exceeds the Excessive Indebtedness ratio
will be subject to a 35% tax (4% withholding tax plus the difference between the withholding tax and a 35% rate).

Under the Excessive Indebtedness Rules, a lender or creditor, such as a holder of notes, will be deemed to be related with the payor or debtor, if: (i) the lender or creditor is incorporated, domiciled or resident in a tax haven (qualified as such
by the Chilean Ministry of Finance) at the time of granting the loan; or (ii) the lender or debtor, directly or indirectly, owns or participates in 10% or more of the capital or the profits of the other or if lender and debtor are subject to a
common partner or shareholder which, directly or indirectly, owns or participates in 10% or more of the capital or the profits of both; or (iii) the debt is guaranteed directly or indirectly in cash or in any financial instruments or securities
evidencing payment obligations (excluding any financial instruments or securities evidencing obligations of the borrower with any of its related entities) by a third party, for the amount effectively guaranteed. The debtor will be required to issue
a sworn statement in this regard in the form set forth by the tax authorities.

Taxation of Principal Payments and Capital Gain on the Debt Securities

Under Chile's Income Tax Law and regulations thereunder, payments of principal made by us with respect to the notes to a Foreign Holder will not be subject to any Chilean taxes. Any capital gains realized on the sale or other disposition by a
Foreign Holder of the notes generally will not be subject to any Chilean income taxes provided that the sale or other disposition of such notes will be effected outside of Chile by a Foreign Holder. Any premium payable on redemption of the notes
will be treated as interest and subject to the Chilean Interest Withholding Tax as described above.

Certain Other Taxes

A Foreign Holder will not be liable for estate, gift, inheritance or similar taxes with respect to the notes unless such notes (i) are located in Chile at the time of such Foreign Holder's death or (ii) were purchased or acquired with money
obtained from Chilean sources.

Withholding Tax Certificates

Upon request, AES Gener will provide to Foreign Holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Chilean Interest Withholding Tax.

United States Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarizes the material United States federal income tax considerations, under present law, of the purchase, ownership and disposition of any debt securities or shares of common stock. This discussion deals only with
investors who hold the securities or common stock as a capital asset and whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant and does
not address the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to investors that are subject to special tax rules such as banks, securities dealers and traders who elect to mark their investments to market, tax-exempt entities, investors
that will hold shares of common stock as a position in a "straddle" or a hedging or conversion transaction, insurance companies, persons that own (or are deemed to own for United States tax purposes) 10% or more of the voting stock of AES Gener or,
except as described below, persons that are not U.S. Holders, as defined below. In addition, this discussion does not describe any tax consequences arising under the tax laws of any state, locality or foreign jurisdiction, or any U.S. federal tax
law other than

Table of Contents

income taxation. AES Gener believes, and this discussion assumes, that AES Gener is not, and will not become, a passive foreign investment company or foreign personal holding company for United States federal income tax purposes.

This summary is based on the tax laws of the United States (including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions) as in effect on the
date hereof, all of which are subject to change (or changes in interpretation), possibly with retroactive effect.

As used herein the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of debt securities or shares of common stock that is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation organized in or under
the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) a trust subject to the control of a U.S. person and the primary supervision of a U.S. court or that has otherwise validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person or
(iv) an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source. "Non-U.S. Holder" means any Holder that is not a U.S. Holder.

Taxation of Interest

Each U.S. Holder of a debt security is required to report, as ordinary interest income, all interest paid on debt securities in accordance with such holder's method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. Thus, accrual method
holders will report interest on debt securities as it accrues, and cash method holders will report interest when it is received or unconditionally made available for receipt.

Payments of interest on debt securities will generally be subject to a Chilean Interest Withholding Tax of 4% (see "Chilean Tax Considerations"), which AES Gener will withhold from such payments. AES Gener has agreed, subject to specific
exemptions and limitations, to pay the Additional Amounts in respect of any Chilean withholding taxes imposed on payments of interest on the debt securities so that the holders of debt securities will be paid the amount they would have received if
no Chilean withholding taxes were applied.

For United States federal income tax purposes, a holder must treat the gross amount of interest received on debt securities and any Additional Amounts paid in respect of Chilean withholding taxes as ordinary interest income. The 4% Chilean Interest
Withholding Tax will be treated as a foreign income tax eligible, subject to limitations and conditions, for credit against a holder's United States federal income tax liability, or at the holder's election, for deduction in computing the holder's
taxable income. Interest and Additional Amounts paid on debt securities generally will constitute foreign source "passive income" for United States foreign tax credit purposes.

The calculation of foreign tax credits involves the application of rules that depend on a holder's particular circumstances. Holders of debt securities should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules
to interest income on debt securities.

Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium

A U.S. Holder that purchases a debt security at a price in excess of its principal amount may have amortizable bond premium. A U.S. Holder may elect to amortize any amortizable bond premium relating to a debt security over the remaining
term of the debt security. The amount of amortizable bond premium on a debt security is generally the excess of the purchase price of the debt security over the sum of all payments on the debt security other than stated interest (the "amount payable
at maturity"). If the election is made, the amount of interest such U.S. Holder must include in income for each remaining accrual period is reduced by the portion of the premium allocable to such period based on the security's yield to maturity. If
the amortizable bond premium exceeds the interest allocable to the accrual period, the excess is treated as a bond premium deduction for the accrual period. However, the amount treated as a bond premium deduction is limited to the amount by which
such U.S. Holder's total interest income on the debt security in prior accrual periods exceeds the total amount of bond premium deducted or used to offset interest on the debt security by such U.S. Holder in prior accrual periods, and any excess is
carried forward to the next accrual period. The U.S. Holder's basis in the debt security is reduced by any bond premium deducted or used to offset interest by such U.S. Holder. The election to amortize bond premium applies to all debt instruments
the interest on which is not excludible from gross income ("fully taxable bonds") that such U.S. Holder holds at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and to all fully taxable bonds such U.S. Holder later acquires,
and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules before making this election.

108

---

##### 

Table of Contents

If a U.S. Holder does not make this election, such U.S. Holder must include the full amount of each interest payment in income as described in "Interest" above. However, the amount of premium will be included in the U.S. Holders tax basis in
the debt security, and will therefore decrease the gain or increase the loss recognized by the U.S. Holder upon the sale or other disposition or retirement of such debt security.

Debt Securities Purchased at a Discount

A U.S. Holder that purchases a debt security for an amount that is less than its principal amount will have market discount with respect to the security in the amount of the difference (unless the market discount is less than a de minimis
amount). Such U.S. Holder is required to treat any principal payments on, or any gain realized on the disposition or retirement of such security, as ordinary interest income to the extent of the market discount that accrued while such U.S. Holder
held the security, unless the U.S. Holder elects to include the market discount in income on a current basis (see "Accrual Method Election" below). "Accrued" market discount is determined on a straight-line basis or, at the U.S. Holder's election,
on a constant-yield basis. Market discount is considered to be a de minimis amount if it is less than one-quarter of one percent of the debt security's principal amount multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity after the U.S.
Holder acquired the security. If a U.S. Holder disposes of a debt security with market discount in a nontaxable transaction (other than certain transactions described in section 1276(c) and (d) of the Code, such as a repurchase of the debt
securities for common stock), such U.S. Holder generally must include the accrued market discount in income as if such U.S. Holder had disposed of such security in a taxable transaction at the security's fair market value. Upon repurchase with our
common stock of the debt securities with market discount that has not been previously included in income, a ratable portion of such market discount will be allocable to each share of common stock. The amount of market discount allocable to such
common stock may be taxable as ordinary interest income upon a sale or other disposition of such common stock.

If a U.S. Holder acquires a debt security at a market discount and does not make the accrual method election described below, such U.S. Holder may be required to defer the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness
incurred or continued to purchase or carry the debt security until the deferred income is realized.

Accrual Method Election

A U.S. Holder that purchases a debt security with market discount may elect to include market discount in gross income currently as it accrues, on either a straight-line basis or a constant-yield basis. The U.S. Holder's tax basis in the debt
security will be increased by any amount included in income as a result of this election. This election to include market discount applies to all market discount obligations acquired during or after the first taxable year to which the election
applies, and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. If this election is made, the rules under Debt Securities Purchased at a Discount treating certain payments and gain as interest income and requiring deferral of certain
interest deductions will not apply. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors before making this election.

Disposition of Debt Securities

Except as described above under Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium and Debt Securities Purchased at a Discount, each U.S. Holder of debt securities will generally recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange,
redemption, retirement or other disposition of debt securities measured by the difference (if any) between (i) the amount realized by such holder on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest which will be
taxable as ordinary interest to the extent not previously included in such holder's gross income) and (ii) the holder's adjusted basis in debt securities. A U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in a debt security will generally equal the cost of such
security reduced by any principal payments received by the U.S. Holder. Except as described above under Debt Securities Purchased at a Discount, any gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of a
debt security will be capital gain or loss and will generally be long term capital gain or loss if, at the time of disposition, the debt security had been held for more than one year. Any such gain or loss will be treated as United States-source
income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

In general, U.S. Holders will include in gross income the gross amount of any dividend paid (after reduction for any applicable Chilean First-Category Tax that is credited against Chilean Withholding Tax, but before reduction for the net amount of
Chilean Withholding Tax) by AES Gener out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) as ordinary income when the dividend is actually or constructively received by the U.S.

109

Table of Contents

Holder. Dividends paid by AES Gener will generally not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. The amount of the dividend
distribution includable in income of a U.S. Holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the Chilean Peso payments made, determined at the spot Chilean Peso/U.S. dollar rate on the date such dividend distribution is includable in the income of the U.S.
Holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is includable in income to the date such
payment is converted into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss. Such gain or loss will generally be from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

U.S. Holders will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of shares of common stock held by the U.S. Holder in an amount equal to the excess of the amount realized on such sale or other disposition over the U.S. Holder's
adjusted tax basis in such common stock. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock will generally equal the holder's cost of acquiring such stock. Capital gain or loss recognized on the sale or other disposition of common stock will be
long term capital gain or loss if, at the time of such sale or other disposition, such common stock has been held for more than one year. Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder upon a disposition of shares of common stock will generally be treated as
U.S. source income.

Non-U.S. Holders

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax in respect of payments of interest (including any Additional Amounts) on debt securities or
dividends on shares of common stock, unless the interest or dividends are effectively connected with such holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the interest or dividends are
attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such holder within the United States). If this exception applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to United States federal income tax in respect of such interest or dividends in
the same manner as a U.S. Holder, as described above.

A Non-U.S. Holder of debt securities or shares of common stock will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale or other disposition of debt securities or shares, unless (i) such gain is
effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such holder within the United States), or (ii)
in the case of gain realized by an individual holder, the holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and certain other conditions are met. If the first exception applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally
will be subject to United States federal income tax in respect of such gain in the same manner as a U.S. Holder, as described above. If the second exception applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to United States federal income tax
at a rate of 30% on the amount by which such holder's United States-source capital gains exceed such holder's United States-source capital losses.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, payments to a U.S. Holder of principal and interest (including Additional Amounts) on the debt securities or dividends on the shares of common stock and the proceeds of a disposition of debt securities or shares will be subject to U.S.
information reporting requirements. In general, subject to certain exceptions, such payments will be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax if the U.S. Holder does not provide a taxpayer identification number or otherwise establish an exemption.

In general any such payments to a Non-U.S. Holder that are made by a U.S. office of a custodian or broker or that are otherwise paid or considered to be paid in the United States will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and, under
certain circumstances, to a U.S. backup withholding tax, unless the holder certifies his or her non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption. Information reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) also
apply to a payment of the proceeds of a sale of debt securities or shares of common stock by a foreign office of a broker that (a) is a U.S. person, (b) is a U.S. controlled foreign corporation, (c) is a foreign person that derives at least 50% of
his or her gross income from the conduct of a trade or business within the United States or (d) is a foreign partnership with certain connections to the United States, in each case unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the
holder is a Non-U.S. Holder and certain other conditions are met, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided
that the required information is furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We face primary market risk exposures in two categories: interest rate risk and exchange rate risk.

We periodically review our exposure to risks arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates and determine at our senior management level how to reduce such risks. We have entered into a limited number of derivative contracts
for the purpose of hedging the interest rate risk that arises from certain liabilities. See note 25 to the audited consolidated financial statements. We do not enter into derivative contracts related to fluctuations in interest rates or foreign
exchange rates for purposes that are speculative in nature.

Interest Rate Risks

Of our long term interest bearing debt on December 31, 2004, 81% was fixed rate and 19% was variable rate. The fixed rate portion of our debt increased from the level of 74% recorded for the year ending December 31, 2003. The majority of our
variable rate long term debt was denominated in U.S. dollars and bore interest at rates tied to the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, the rates that banks in the London interbank market offer for U.S. dollar deposits of varying maturities.
The interest rate for Chivors syndicated bank loan is tied to the Colombian average fixed term deposit rate.

As of December 31, 2004, our current interest rate exposure arises principally from the US$88 million local syndicate credit of our subsidiary Chivor (which was equal to US$83 million at the time the agreement was executed), the US$77 million
credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG which replaced TermoAndes and InterAndes notes and the US$29 million Banco de Chile credit facility of our subsidiary Norgener.

We do not hedge our Chilean peso-denominated debt against fluctuations in interest rates. All of such debt is fixed-rate, inflation-indexed and/or UF-denominated debt.

In connection with the offering of our senior notes, we entered into treasury lock agreements in a notional amount of US$400 million (Ch$237,520 million) to hedge against the underlying interest rate of the senior notes to be issued pursuant to

our recapitalization plan. As of December 31, 2003, the notional amount of these agreements was US$200 million (Ch$118,760 million) and, as of March 12, 2004, the notional amount was US$400 million (Ch$237,520 million). The agreements were entered
into in December 2003 and in February 2004 in contemplation of the senior notes offering. The agreements were extended on several occasions. Subsequent to the date of the agreements, the yield on the benchmark ten-year U.S. treasury note decreased.
On March 12, 2004, the date of the pricing of the senior notes, we set a coupon on the notes of 7.50% based on the current market yields of the ten-year U.S. treasury note rate and unwound the agreements which set the losses under such agreements at
approximately US$22.1 million (Ch$13,140 million). On March 22, 2004, the closing date of the senior notes offering, we were required to pay that loss to the counterparty. As of December 31, 2004, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

The following table summarizes the debt obligations held by us at December 31, 2004. The table presents principal payment obligations in millions of Chilean pesos that exist by maturity date and the related weighted-average interest rates. All U.S.
dollar-denominated liabilities and notional amounts have been converted into Chilean pesos based on the Observed Exchange Rate as of December 31, 2004, which was US$1.00 = Ch$557.4.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

As of December 31, 2004, approximately 87% of our long term interest-bearing debt was denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar. The remaining 13% was composed of
10% denominated in Colombian pesos (Chivors syndicated credit) and 3% denominated in Chilean UF (Eléctrica Santiagos notes). In December 31, 2003, 98% of our long term interest-bearing debt was denominated in U.S. dollars and the
remaining 2% was UF-denominated and, therefore not subject to currency exchange risk.

In 2004, we entered into short term derivative contracts to limit our exposure to revenue variations as a result of fluctuations between the Chilean and Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2004, AES Gener and subsidiaries
Eléctrica Santiago and Chivor had outstanding exchange rate derivative contracts. Although node prices for electricity sales in Chile are quoted in Chilean pesos, the most significant components of the formula used to set such prices are
based on U.S. dollars. We believe that such a formula partially mitigates the effect of U.S. dollar versus Chilean peso currency fluctuations. See further information relating to the derivative contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2004 in note
25 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 18.

The following table presents principal payment obligations in millions of Chilean pesos by maturity date for U.S. dollar-denominated debt. U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities and notional amounts have been converted into Chilean pesos based on the
Observed Exchange Rate of December 31, 2004, which was US$1.00 = Ch$557.4.

As of December 31, 2004, we and our equity-method investees did not enter into commodity price hedges because (1) Argentine natural gas and coal are purchased under long term market-based contracts, (2) all of the natural gas and coal are purchased
under similar market conditions, (3) such market conditions also affect our competitors and (4) under the marginal cost regulatory framework that is in effect in the SIC and the SING, any variations should eventually be incorporated into the price
of electricity.

Part II

Item 13. Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies

In December 1996, our Colombian subsidiary Chivor borrowed U.S.$400 million under a five-year bank credit facility, the net proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the acquisition price of Chivor. The Chivor credit facility was secured
by substantially all of Chivor's assets. On December 28, 2001, Chivor failed to pay when due approximately US$336 million principal amount pursuant to the terms of the bank credit facility.

On May 31, 2002, Chivor reached an agreement to refinance its debt of US$336 million with the original bank syndicate led by Bank of America. This agreement, which involved 19 of the 20 members of the bank syndicate,
specified a new interest rate, a revised amortization schedule and a final maturity of December 31, 2006. In addition, the agreement stipulated that the refinancing would be structured under terms and conditions established under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. bankruptcy law, specifically in terms of a pre-packaged voluntary reorganization.

On August 13, 2002, the financing restructuring plan was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The plan extended the term of the credit agreement up to December 2006 and included a
new payment schedule with interim amortization payments. Additionally, a support agreement was included in the restructuring plan pursuant to which Energy Trade agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally fund the payment of the outstanding principal,
up to a maximum amount of US$50 million, if the outstanding amount of Chivor debt exceeded certain designated amounts on March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, respectively. In the same support agreement, AES Gener agreed to irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantee Energy Trade's obligations.

On November 30, 2004, with the completion of a US$253 million refinancing, Chivor fully repaid the outstanding syndicated loan facility equal to approximately US$260 million at such time.

There are no dividend arrearages.

Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds

To our knowledge, no one (i) has materially modified the instruments defining the rights of our shareholders or (ii) has modified materially or qualified the rights evidenced by our registered securities by issuing or modifying any other class of
securities.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we made changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting in order to formalize our control structure and
improve the communication of existing procedures and guidelines established by our management. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures at December 31, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company
have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AES Gener S.A. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in
shareholders equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 (all expressed in thousands of Chilean pesos). Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 18. These consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile (Chilean GAAP). Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2004 the Company adopted Technical Bulletin No. 72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, changing the accounting treatment for investment in other companies
in which it owns, at a consolidated level, more than 10% and less than 20% of common stock.

Accounting principles generally accepted in Chile vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The application of the latter would have affected the
determination of net income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and the determination of shareholders' equity and financial position at December 31, 2004 and 2003, to the extent summarized in Note 37 to the financial
statements.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of the Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 1 x). Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for
the convenience of readers in the United States of America.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Chile. For the convenience of readers outside Chile, the consolidated financial statements have been translated into English,
certain reclassifications have been made and certain clarifying account descriptions have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In certain cases generally accepted accounting principles require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values. The fair value is the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold or the amount at which a liability
could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Where available, quoted market prices in active markets have been used as the basis for the measurement; however, where quoted
market prices in active markets are not available, the Company has estimated such values based on the best information available, including using modeling and other valuation techniques.

The financial statements have been price-level restated in order to reflect the effect of changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean currency during each period. All non-monetary assets and liabilities and income statement accounts have been
restated to reflect the changes in the Chilean consumer price index from the date they were acquired or incurred to the end of the period.

The purchasing power gains and losses have been included in net income within the account "price-level restatement" and reflect the effects of Chilean inflation on the value of monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company.

The restatements were calculated using the official consumer price index of the Chilean National Institute of Statistics ("CPI") using the "prior month rule", in which inflation adjustments are based on the consumer price index at the close of the
month preceding the close of the respective period or transaction. This index is considered by the business community, the accounting profession and the Chilean government to be the index which most closely complies with the technical requirement to
reflect the variation in the general level of prices in the country and, consequently, is widely used for financial reporting purposes in Chile.

The values of the Chilean consumer price index are as follows:

|                  |        |  |            
|----------------- | ------ |  | -----------
|                  |        |  | Change over

|                 
|December 31, 2002 | 112.86 |  | 2.8%       
|December 31, 2003 | 114.07 |  | 1.1%       
|December 31, 2004 | 116.84 |  | 2.4%       

The values of the Chilean consumer price index used for financial accounting price-level restatement purposes are as follows:

|                  |  |        |  |            
|----------------- |  | ------ |  | -----------
|                  |  |        |  | Change over
|                  |  |        |  | previous   
|                  |  | Index  |  | November 30
|                  |  |        |  |            
|November 30, 2002 |  | 113.36 |  | 3.0%       
|November 30, 2003 |  | 114.44 |  | 1.0%       
|November 30, 2004 |  | 117.28 |  | 2.5%       

The above-mentioned price-level restatements do not purport to represent appraisal or replacement values and are only intended to restate all non-monetary financial statement components in terms of local currency of a single purchasing power and
to include in the net result for each period the gain or loss in purchasing power arising from the holding of monetary assets and liabilities exposed to the effects of inflation.

Assets and liabilities that are denominated in index-linked units of account are stated at the period-end values of their respective units of account. The principal index-linked unit used in Chile is the Unidad de Fomento (UF), which changes
daily to reflect the changes in Chile's consumer price index. Many of the Company's financial investments are denominated in UFs. As the Company's indexed liabilities exceed its indexed assets, the increase in the index results in a net loss on
indexation.

Values for the UF are as follows (historical pesos per UF):

|                  |  |          
|----------------- |  | ---------
|                  |  | Ch$      
|                  |  |          
|December 31, 2002 |  | 16,774.12
|December 31, 2003 |  | 16,920.00
|December 31, 2004 |  | 17,317.05

For comparative purposes, the December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 consolidated financial statements, and the amounts disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, have been restated in terms of Chilean pesos of December 31,
2004 purchasing power. This updating does not change the prior period's statements or information in any way except to update the amounts to constant Chilean pesos of similar purchasing power.

c) Foreign currency transactions and translation

In accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 64 of the Chilean Association of Accountants and dispositions of Official Circular No. 368 of the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (the SVS), permanent foreign investments
established in countries defined by Technical Bulletin No. 64 as being unstable, whose activities do not constitute an extension of the parent company's operations are controlled and measured in US dollars. Differences between the Chilean peso and
the United States (US) dollar exchange rate variation and fluctuations in the Chilean Consumer Price Index (CPI) are accounted for as a charge or credit to the equity reserve account called "Accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment".
Foreign Exchange differences on US dollar denominated liabilities that have been designated as a hedge of such investments are also included in the same equity account to the extent the hedge is effective. This rule corresponds to all US dollar
functional currency subsidiaries (Chivor, Compañía Carbones del Cesar Ltda, TermoAndes, InterAndes, Gener Colombia S.A. and New Caribbean Investment S.A.).

Balances denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into Chilean pesos at the following rates, which are the Observed Exchange Rates, as reported by the Central Bank of Chile:

|                       |  |                   |  |          |  |

|Colombian Pesos (Col$) |  | 0.25              |  | 0.21     |  | 0.24    

To reduce its exposure to the volatility of foreign currencies, the Company enters into currency swap agreements to manage the Companys foreign currency exposure to U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transaction losses of ThCh$662,867
(ThUS$1,189), ThCh$1,419,958 (ThUS$2,547) and ThCh$4,984,096 (ThUS$8,941) are included in other non-operating income and other non-operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

d ) Time deposits, money market funds and commercial paper

Time deposits and commercial paper for resale are shown at cost plus price-level restatement and accrued interest, which approximates the market value of these items. Money market funds are shown at the lower of cost plus indexation adjustments or
market value.

Commercial paper is classified as other current assets. Such financial instruments include:

Pagaré Reajustable del Banco Central de Chile (Central Bank Adjustable Promissory Notes or "PRBC"), These notes are bearer, short and long term debt securities with the principal denominated in UF.

Pagaré Reajustable del Banco Central de Chile con Pago en Cupones (Central Bank Adjustable Promissory Notes with Coupon Payments or "PRC"). These are long term debt securities issued by the Central Bank of Chile. The principal is
denominated in UF. PRCs are bearer financial instruments with equal consecutive semiannual principal and interest payments.

The Company determines this allowance over the basis of an individual analysis of each client and its payment capacity.

f) Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, parts and accessories valued at their corresponding acquisition cost. The values shown do not exceed their estimated net realizable values and are reflected in income on the basis of weighted-average
  cost.

An allowance for inventory shrinkage is determined according to technical and environmental studies based on factors affecting the coal in stock.

Other current assets mainly include commercial paper and Colombian Fiduciary Rights related to subsidiary Chivor which are presented at cost plus accrued interest.

Property, plant and equipment are valued at cost plus price-level restatement. The carrying value of property, plant and equipment was adjusted on June 30, 1986 in accordance with the regulations of the SVS (See Note 8).

Depreciation is included in operating costs and includes depreciation for technical reappraisal of fixed assets. Depreciation has been calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives detailed below, with the exception of the TermoAndes
power plant, in which case depreciation is amortized on a usage basis, considering the total estimated hours of service in the plant's useful life.

Repair and maintenance costs are charged against income while renewals and improvements are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirement, sale and disposal of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from
the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts, with any related gain or loss reflected in other non-operating income or expense.

The Company has internally developed computer software as well as acquired software packages. The cost incurred in software development is charged to income and the cost paid to acquire software packages is included in "Other fixed assets" and is
amortized over 36 months. All significant internally developed software was completed prior to 1997.

Investments in companies that are 50%-or-less owned, over which the Company exercises significant influence, and investments in companies in the development stage are shown under Other Non-Current Assets and are accounted for using the equity
method. The Company's proportionate share of net income and losses in related companies is recognized in non-operating results in the income statement on an accrual basis, after eliminating any unrealized profits from transactions between related
companies.

In accordance with SVS Circular No. 1,697 dated December 30, 2003, the Company is deemed to have a significant influence in all of those investments in which it holds more than 20% ownership. In the previous period this percentage was equivalent to
10% and, based on such, all of the investments in which the Company holds between 10% and 20% have been reclassified and are now registered as Investments in other companies for the year ended December 31, 2004. Additionally, in
accordance with such circular, since January 1, 2004, those investments in which the Company holds between 10% and 20% and which have been reclassified as described above will be carried at cost (price-level restated) adopting their December 31,
2003 book value as the cost basis.

Investments in other companies are presented at acquisition cost adjusted for price-level restatement in the case of Gasoducto GasAndes S.A. (Chile) (GasAndes Chile) and the CDEC-SIC Ltda. (CDEC-SIC), which is the Economic
Load Dispatch Center for the Central Interconnected System, the SIC, and for foreign currency variation in the case of Gasoducto GasAndes S.A. (Argentina) (GasAndes Argentina).

The Goodwill balances with respect to investments reclassified in accordance with the accounting policy change described in paragraph j) above were registered as Investments in Other Companies for the year ended December 31, 2004.

According to Chilean SVS Rule No. 1,358 issued in December 1997, the excess cost of an acquired enterprise over the net book value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (goodwill), are to be amortized over 20 years.

The Company has evaluated the recovery of its goodwill for impairment, under the requirements of the regulation established in the Technical Bulletin No. 56 of Colegio de Contadores de Chile A. G. (Chilean Association Accountants) and in accordance
with the International Accounting Standard Bulletin (IAS) No.36 Impairment of Assets .  As a result of this evaluation, no impairment has been recorded.

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos
as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

The Company has classified certain assets as intangibles due to their nature and characteristics. These assets have resulted principally from the asset revaluation that was performed at the time of the division of the Company's predecessor into
three independent companies in 1981, one of which is AES Gener S.A. This intangible asset, representing the price-level restated excess of the market value over the book value of the assets that were transferred to AES Gener S.A., is being amortized
over a period of 30 years, which initiated on January 1, 1982.

The Company has recorded provisions at each period end for income taxes currently payable in accordance with existing tax regulations. The detail of such provisions is shown in Note 15.

Since January 1, 2000, the Company has recorded income taxes in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 60 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, and circular No. 1,466 issued on January 27, 2000, under which, through the application of the
liability method, recognizes the deferred tax effects of all temporary differences between the financial and tax values of assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards. As a transitional provision, a contra asset or liability has been recorded to
offset the effects of the deferred tax assets and liabilities not recorded prior to January 1, 2000. Such contra asset or liability is amortized to income over the estimated average reversal periods corresponding to the underlying temporary
differences to which the deferred tax asset or liability relates.

Bonds payable are shown at each period end at their nominal value plus accrued interest and price-level restatement. The discount amount, the cost of obtaining such financing and other expenses directly related to the issuance of bonds at the time
of their placement are presented in "Other Assets" and are amortized using the straight-line method over the contracted term of the bonds. There is no difference between the straight-line method and the effective interest rate method because the
total of this bond is payable at the end of the maturity date.

The liability for long term severance indemnities is accrued in accordance with agreements entered into with the Companys employees. This liability is shown at the present value of the expected future payments. At December 31, 2004 and 2003,
the staff severance indemnities provision was discounted at a discount rate of 8% and is amortized over a service period of 31 years.

The Company has recorded a provision for vacations on an accrual basis, in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 47 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

Since January 1, 1999, the Company has accounted for the total liabilities related to voluntary pension plans for retired employees (no active employee is entitled to this benefit when he or she retires) and other post-retirement benefits, as
stipulated in collective bargaining agreements. Pension benefits include the payment of a complementary pension in addition to that provided by the Chilean social security system, which is payable for life to retired employees. In addition, these
benefits include health services and electricity subsidies. This liability has been recorded at the actuarially determined projected benefit obligation, discounted at an annual nominal rate of 8% at December 31, 2004 and includes the likelihood of
such payments or benefits based on mortality (in the case of retired employees) and employee turnover. In the case of current employees, who are only entitled to medical benefits and the electricity subsidies, benefits are recognized based on an
estimate of the proportion of

such benefits earned as of the balance sheet date. The obligations for medical benefits and electricity subsidies have been determined considering the trend in future medical costs and the fixed electricity bonus granted to retired employees and to
active employees after retirement.

Revenues from the sale of electricity are recorded based on physical delivery of energy and capacity at the rates specified in the respective contracts or at prevailing market rates.

Operating income includes uninvoiced income from energy and capacity supplied but not billed at each period end, which is accounted for at the contractual rates existing at each respective period end. These amounts are included in current assets as
trade accounts receivable. The related cost of this energy has been included in operating costs. The Company recognizes revenues from sales of inventory such as coal and gas upon delivery and revenues from shipping and engineering services upon
performance of such services.

The cost of research, project development and other studies are charged to income in the year in which they are incurred, except for the cost of fixed assets once development has been approved. The research and development costs charged to income
for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were ThCh$84,493 (ThUS$151), ThCh$2,665 (ThUS$4) and ThCh$427,393 (ThUS$766), respectively.

Unrealized gains or losses on forward exchange and swap agreements that are not both designated and effective as hedges are accounted for on a market value basis with the effect of the changes in the fair value recorded in income. Net losses on
derivatives designated and effective as hedges of assets and liabilities are charged to income. Gains and losses related to qualifying hedges of anticipated transactions and net gains of derivatives designated and effective as hedges of assets and
liabilities are deferred and recognized in income in the same period in which the underlying items are settled. These contracts are recorded according to Technical Bulletin No. 57.

TermoAndes and InterAndes previously had a swap agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities and Bank BBV Securities in order to fix its variable interest rate based on LIBOR with a 180-day fixed rate. This hedge covered 92% of the debt and was repaid
during 2004.

The statements of cash flow have been prepared using the direct method in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 50 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash, time deposits, money market funds and commercial paper that can be converted to cash within a term not exceeding 90 days from the acquisition date and without risk of material loss of value.

"Cash flow from operating activities" includes those cash flows related to the operations of the Company, interest paid, financial income collected and all other cash flows that are not defined as either investing or financing.

The Company maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in Chilean pesos. The US dollar amounts disclosed in the accompanying financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the reader at the December 31,
2004 observed exchange rate of Ch$557.4 per US$1.00. This translation should not be construed as representing

that the Chilean peso amounts actually represent
 or have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at such a rate or at any other rate.

y) Unearned Income

AES Gener and its subsidiary Norgener have recorded deferred
income within current liabilities and long term liabilities due to the favorable
 resolution on the Minera Escondida dispute concluded on July 1, 2004. (Note 28).

This deferred income will be recognized as operating
income on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

Investments in other companies

Prior to January 1, 2004, investments in other companies in which the Company owned from 10% to 50% of common stock on a consolidated basis were recorded under the equity method of accounting. As of January 1, 2004, the Company changed the
accounting treatment for investments in other companies in which it owns, at a consolidated level, more than 10% and less than 20% of common stock in order to comply with SVS Circular No. 1,697 dated December 30, 2003. Investments that meet these
criteria are recorded at acquisition cost, restated for price-level changes or foreign currency as explained above, and are no longer recorded under the equity-method of accounting.

The new cost basis of the investments in these companies at January 1, 2004 was determined at their December 31, 2003 book values equal to their equity method value including the unamortized goodwill balance.

This change affected the following investments: Gasoducto GasAndes Chile, Gasoducto GasAndes Argentina and CDEC-SIC Ltda. (Note 10 and 24)

The balance sheet reclassification affected only long term asset accounts and the effect on the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2004 was not material.

|(1) | On December 3, 2003 and December 12, 2003, the Company entered into two treasury lock agreements for US$100 million each, with an average interest rate of 4.37%.

|(2) | Under the provisions of the credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Bank of America, Chivor was required to hold in trust the proceeds from the collection of its energy and capacity sale invoices to guarantee the payment of the syndicated
  bank loan. Trust assets were invested in commercial paper in Colombia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|   
|    | The trust restricted the entire amount of Chivor's accounts receivable. A portion of accounts receivable estimated to cover Chivor's operating expenses was transferred to Chivor's unrestricted receivable account, and was included in AES Geners
  consolidated accounts receivable balance. The excess funds remaining in the trust were converted into US dollars and were held in a US dollar bank account in Colombia, classified as Chivor trust investments.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|   
|    | On November 30, 2004, Chivor completed a US$253 million refinancing. As part of the refinancing, Chivor completed the sale of US$170 million of 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due in 2014 pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act. To
  guarantee the interest reserve account established under the indenture, AES Gener provided a 180-day renewable standby letter of credit for a total aggregate amount of up to US$9.7 million. Chivor also closed a local peso-denominated syndicated
  Colombian bank facility for Col$210 million (US$83 million), at the time the agreement was executed, with a 7-year maturity and quarterly principal payments. Chivor used the net proceeds of the new notes, together with the net proceeds of the bank
  facility and available cash, to repay in full Chivors existing outstanding syndicated loan facility of approximately US$260 million. Chivor was required to hold in trust proceeds to guarantee the payment of these two new bonds. The company has
  recognized a loss on the repayment of Chivors syndicated loan facility amounted to ThCh$1,837,962.
|   
|(3) | The excess funds remaining in the trust were converted into US dollars and held in a US dollar bank account in Colombia, classified as Chivor trust investments. In Colombia, the fiduciary assignments are instruments of profit value similar to mutual
  funds in Chile, as they do not have expiration dates and profit value changes daily.

as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

Additional information related to investments in related companies:

a) Authorization for not consolidating the financial statements of subsidiaries in the process of being sold

In accordance with the SVS resolution #02385 dated April 12, 2001, it established that the Companys investments in these subsidiaries must be presented under the item investment in related companies until they are sold or there is
a purchase commitment.

The Company requested such authorization from the SVS based on its intention to sell its interest in these subsidiaries and the initiation of bid processes for their sale. Note 35 details the financial statements of the Companys
non-consolidated subsidiaries.

In 2002, the Company sold Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A., Ecogener S.A. and the assets of Oilgener Inc. In August 2004, Carbones del Cesar was sold.

On August 24, 2004, AES Gener sold its participation in Compañía Carbones del Cesar Ltda. to Carbones Internacionales del Cesar S.A., Belts International Inc. and Aspen Trails Ltda. for ThUS$5,000. This sale resulted in a net gain
after taxes of ThCh$1,078,358 (ThUS$1,935) in 2004.

On November 5, 2002, AES Gener sold its ownership rights in certain assets of Oilgener Inc., as well as the Companys rights over the contract with the Chilean government for the development of the Fell-Block area to Energy Holdings LLC. These
assets, together with the investment in Oilgener Argentina Ltda., were sold for ThUS$500. This operation generated a net loss after tax of ThCh$4,014,155 (ThUS$7,202) in 2002.

In 2002, the net book value of the Companys investment was written-off for ThCh$1,538,585 (ThUS$2,760).

On November 25, 2002, AES Gener sold 51,000 shares of Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A. and 663,918 shares of Ecogener S.A., equivalent to 51% and of the outstanding shares of both companies, to Inversiones Residuos y Tratamientos S.A. The remaining
0.39% interest in Ecogener S.A. (equivalent to 5,100 shares) was sold to Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A. The total amount obtained in the sale of these companies was ThCh$3,815,460 (ThUS$6,845), which generated a net loss after tax of ThCh$1,262,024
(ThUS$2,264).

The liabilities of AES Gener that have been specifically designated and accounted for as investment hedge instruments for investments overseas are as follows:

US bond in the amount of US$200,000,000 due January 15, 2006. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2004 was ThUS$54,751.

Convertible bonds in the amount of US$476,638,900 due March 1, 2005. As of December 31, 2004 these bonds had been fully redeemed.

Rule 144A bonds in the amount of US$400,000,000 due March 25, 2014 were used to finance the same investments funded by the convertible bonds.  The funds obtained were used to redeem the Companys outstanding indebtedness.

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos 
as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

A bank loan in the amount of US$93,474,600 due December 31, 2010 which was used to finance the Companys investment in Gener Argentina S.A. was also designated as a hedge of the Companys foreign investment.

The unrealized gains correspond to services provided by AES Gener in the construction of Empresa Eléctrica Guacolda S.A.s power plants. This amount is included as part of the construction cost of the corresponding fixed assets and is
amortized over the average useful life of each power plant.

AES Gener owns the following direct investments in Argentina:

Gener Argentina S.A. (100%) which consolidates TermoAndes (100%) and InterAndes (100%) and also owns an investment in Energen S.A. (100%) and GasAndes (13%), has been valued according to the standards of Technical Bulletin # 64 issued by the Chilean
Association of Accountants. These investments represent 12.5% of total assets of AES Gener as of December 31, 2004.

In accordance with the agreement adopted by the Companys Board of Directors in its 437th session held on February 28, 2001, AES Gener was authorized to sell those subsidiaries that are not part of the electric business in Chile, including
Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Itabo S.A., Compañía de Carbones del Cesar Ltda., Chivor, GasAndes Chile and GasAndes Argentina.  With the exception of Compañía de Carbones del Cesar Ltda, which was sold on August 24,
2004, none of these companies have been sold.

On January 25, 2002, AES Gener sold 400 shares of Servicios Integrales de Generación Eléctrica S.A. (SIGEN) to General Electric Internacional, for ThCh$308,974 (ThUS$554). This sale, equivalent to 40% of SIGENs outstanding
shares, resulted in a net loss after tax of ThCh$689,192 (ThUS$1,236) in 2002.

On May 27, 2002, AES Gener increased its direct equity share participation in Eléctrica Santiago by purchasing an additional 39% of the total outstanding shares that were previously owned by Sociedad Termoenergía Ltda. and
Genergía S.A., equal to 24% and 15%, respectively.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had undistributed earnings from New Caribbean Investment S.A. of RD$103,639,567 (ThCh$ 1,816,736).

In accordance with Circular # 150 issued by the SVS, at December 31, 2004, we conducted an analysis of our investments in which it was determined that the expected cash flows to be generated by such investments are sufficient to recover their book
values.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos 
as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

The investment that AES Gener possesses in CDEC-SING Ltda. is recorded as an investment in related company, given that the Companys participation on a consolidated basis is 28.57% .

During the extraordinary shareholders meeting held on August 24, 2004, it was agreed that Energía Verde would be divided into two independent companies, the first company would conserve the legally registered name and the second would
be a new company named EVSA - Nacimiento S.A.. This operation reduced Energía Verdes capital from ThCh$ 24,361,273 (ThUS$43,705) to ThCh$ 18,975,165 (ThUS$34,042). The new company was founded with initial capital of ThCh$
5,386,108 (ThUS$9,663). Subsequently, in September 2004, EVSA - Nacimiento S.A. was merged with AES Gener.

This note includes the difference between the acquisition cost and the proportional equity value of subsidiaries and investments in related companies. The amortization of these values is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over a 20-year
period.

The goodwill balances that were generated prior to the issuance of Circular # 1,697 by the SVS and Technical Bulletin # 72 by the Chilean Association of Accountants, related to investments in other companies in which
the Company owned from 10% to 20% of common stock on a consolidated basis, were included in the new cost basis of these investments as of January 1, 2004.

The Company has evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill generated by its investments, and as a result, in accordance with Technical Bulletin # 56 by the Chilean Association of Accountants we have applied
International Accounting Rule (NIC) N° 36, Assets Impairment.    As result of this evaluation, we have determined that no adjustments are required.

The detail of goodwill is as follows:

as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

SHORT AND LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC

a) As of December 31, 2004, the Company had five series of bonds outstanding, two of which were issued by AES Gener, two by Eléctrica Santiago and one by Chivor.

The two AES Gener bonds outstanding were issued in the US in 1996 and 2004.

The bonds issued on January 23, 1996 were used to finance a portion of the Companys capital investment program and the second issuance on March 22, 2004 was used to refinance a portion of the Companys outstanding debt in accordance with
AES Geners restructuring plan which was completed during the first half of 2004. This restructuring plan included the following transactions:

In November 2004, our Colombian subsidiary Chivor completed its first bond issuance in the US market under Rule 144A/Regulation S for an aggregate principal amount of US$170 million due on December 30, 2014. The proceeds of this issuance were used
to repay Chivors syndicated bank loan.

In 2004, we repaid the total amount of floating rate notes issued by our Argentine subsidiaries, TermoAndes and InterAndes, which were authorized on July 30, 1998 by the National Commission of Securities, through Resolution No. 12337. In accordance
with this approval, TermoAndes issued ten series of bonds totaling US$210,000,000 and InterAndes issued five series of bonds totaling US$47,000,000. Both companies hedged their variable rate obligations with a fixed 180-day Libor rate, pursuant to
which TermoAndes and InterAndes paid a fixed rate and received a variable rate. These interest rate swap agreements were also terminated in April 2004. On April 16, 2004, AES Gener S.A. repaid the outstanding debt (notes) of TermoAndes and
InterAndes, through the payment of US$ 62 million and a new credit agreement for US$ 93.5 million which was extended to AES Gener S.A. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding balance of this loan was ThCh$42,919,800 (US$77,000,000).

In 2004, AES Gener also consummated three separate cash tender offers and/or called for redemptions of its US$200 million 6.5% Yankee notes due 2006, its US$73.9 million 6% U.S. convertible notes due 2005, and its
US$402.7 million 6% Chilean convertible notes due 2005. In connection with such offers, the Company accepted for payment tenders of approximately US$145.2 million in principal amount of Yankee notes on February 27, 2004, representing 72.62% in
aggregate principal amount of Yankee notes outstanding, and on April 2, 2004, approximately US$55.7 million in aggregate principal amount of U.S. convertible notes, representing 75.35% of the aggregate principal amount of U.S. convertible notes
outstanding. In connection with its offer for the Chilean convertible notes, the Company repurchased approximately US$156.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Chilean convertible notes on March 24, 2004, representing 38.9% in aggregate
principal amount of Chilean convertible notes outstanding. On May 31, 2004, AES Gener redeemed the entire amount of its U.S. convertible notes and Chilean convertible notes outstanding after the completion of the tender offers described above for
approximately US$264.1 million.

On March 22, 2004, we completed the issuance of US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior notes due 2014. We entered into forward treasury lock agreements in a notional amount of US$200 million commencing in December, 2003 and an
additional US$200 million in February, 2004 to hedge against the underlying interest rate of notes. On the closing date of these notes, we paid the actual loss amount to the counterparty, which is US$22.1 million (ThCh$13,140).  The cost associated
with these transactions is amortized over the life of the notes.

The placement discounts and bond issuance expenses are detailed under other long term assets (Note 12).

During 1999, Eléctrica Santiago completed its first bond issuance for an aggregate principal amount of US$100 million (series A and B), US$60 million in A series bonds and UF 1,388,000 in B series bonds. As of December 31, 2004, 95.8% of the
A series bonds had been issued, totaling ThCh$31,047,180 (US$57.5 million) and 78.2% of the B series bonds totaling ThCh$18,806,316 (UF 1,086,000). The issuance proceeds were used to finance the payment of debt owed to General Electric related to the construction of the Nueva Renca power plant and repay other short term debt.

Accrued interest as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 amounted to ThCh$10,930,671 (ThUS$19,610) and ThCh$6,956,242 (ThUS$12,480), respectively, and is included under bonds payable.

On February 28, 2001, AES Gener signed a mercantile account agreement with Cachagua, which balance is denominated in US dollars and accrued interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus a spread.

On May 15, 2003, Cachagua pledged its shares owned in favor of AES Gener to guarantee the timely and complete payment of the balance of the mercantile account and it obliged itself not to place any lien, divest, use, or
perform acts or subscribe to any contracts over the shares pledged. This pledge also included an extension of its rights to receive dividends which would be required to be net off against the receivable balance. Additionally, on May 15, 2003, the
interest rate was modified to 10% annually.

On February 27, 2004, Cachagua fully paid the intercompany account receivable.

The account receivable of Gasoducto GasAndes S.A. and Gasoducto GasAndes Argentina S.A. represents a down payment of gas transport related to Sociedad Eléctrica Santiago S.A. Such down payment accrued interest at
a rate of 15% per year and is payable in monthly installments from 2002 until August 2009.

26. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

1) GUARANTEES GRANTED a)  Commitments with Financial Institutions and Others

The credit agreements executed by AES Gener with a variety of financial institutions and the indentures governing its public bonds impose certain financial covenants during the term of these agreements, which are usual for this kind of financing.
AES Gener complies with all such debt covenants and financial restrictions, in accordance with each agreement's terms and conditions.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all restrictions or covenants related to its financial
institution and public bond obligations.

United States Bonds issued (Yankee Bonds) ThCh$111,480,000 (ThUS$200,000):

As of March 1, 2004, AES Gener repurchased Yankee bonds in the amount of ThCh$80,934,480 (ThUS$145,200) in the cash tender offer made by the Company which expired on February 27, 2004.

The principal financial covenant contained in the Yankee Bonds indenture is as follows:

- If AES Gener or any of its subsidiaries, except Chivor, is in default with regard to the payment of any aggregate principal amount exceeding ThCh$8,361,000 (ThUS$15,000), the bondholders may request immediate payment of such obligation.

Senior Notes listed on the Luxemburg Stock Exchange for ThCh$222,960,000 (ThUS$400,000):

As part of the issuance of the 7.5% Senior Notes due in 2014, AES Gener agreed that:

- Neither AES Gener nor any of its "Restricted Subsidiaries" (as defined in the agreement), may issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness secured by a lien upon any property or assets of the Company unless proportional and/or equivalent guarantees
are granted to the bondholders.

- The Company registered the bonds with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the form of an "Exchange Offer Registration Statement". Such registration statement was declared effective within the 270 days following the closing date, which occurred
on March 22, 2004. This statement was registered and declared effective on November 24, 2004. The extension term of the bond exchange offer expired on January 21, 2005. Tender offers totaling an aggregate amount of ThUS$399,645 (ThCh$222,762,123)
were accepted, equivalent to 99.91% of the amount issued.

Bank and Financial Institution Obligations:

On November 30, 2004, Chivor refinanced its outstanding US$260 million financial debt with (i) a US$170 million note issuance pursuant to Rule 144A Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, (ii) a local syndicated loan for approximately US$83
million, and (iii) available cash.

b) Third-Party Guarantees

granted to related company GasAndes Argentina by a bank syndicate led by Bank Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (España) S.A. In December 2003, AES Gener provided this performance guarantee to ensure payment of a portion of GasAndes

Argentina's obligations and AES Gener would be required to perform under this guarantee if GasAndes Argentina fails to make the principal payments required under its credit agreement. The amount originally guaranteed by AES Gener was ThCh$2,675,520
(ThUS$4,800) and as of December 31, 2004, the maximum potential amount of future payments that AES Gener could be required to make under the guarantee was ThCh$1,421,370 (ThUS$2,550). The guarantee expires in March 2006, upon maturity of the credit
agreement.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had not recorded a liability for its potential obligation to perform under the guarantee. There are no recourse provisions that would enable AES Gener to recover from third parties any amounts that may be paid
under the guarantee, nor are there assets held as collateral that AES Gener could obtain and liquidate to recover amounts that might be paid under the guarantee.

Additionally, AES Gener committed to the lenders of GasAndes Chile not to sell, pledge or dispose of its equity participation in GasAndes Chile, without the lenders consent, throughout the life of this related companys credit agreement, which
was originally issued for ThCh$75,806,400 (ThUS$136,000). The balance of this obligation as of December 31, 2004 is ThCh$73,585,718 (ThUS$132,016) and it matures in 2011. There are no recourse provisions that would enable the Company to recover from
third parties any amounts that could be paid under the guarantee.

|(ii)  | AES Gener has a natural gas purchase agreement with the Sierra Chata Consortium, operated by Petrolera Santa Fe, which contains a take-or-pay (minimum consumption) clause with a monthly commitment equal to an average of 75% of the volume contracted.
  It also includes a 36-month term to take possession of the remaining gas paid for but not consumed. There was no gas paid for but not consumed as of December 31, 2004. The annual minimum payment under the contract is ThCh$13,377,600 (ThUS$24,000)
  and the contract expires in December 2013. The same contractual provisions are applied to the gas sold by AES Gener to its subsidiary Eléctrica Santiago.            
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|     
|(iii) | The gas transportation agreement between TermoAndes and Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A. ("TGN") does not currently require AES Gener to provide a performance guarantee. No guarantee under the contract is necessary if TermoAndes or its
  shareholders maintain an Investment Grade Rating, defined in the contract as BBB- or higher. In the event that neither TermoAndes nor its shareholders hold an Investment Grade Rating, a bank guarantee must be provided equal to the payment of one
  year of transportation service. The current rating of TermoAndes issued by Fitch Ratings is A (Arg) Stable; As a result TermoAndes has not been required to provide a guarantee.
|     

|(i) | On February 27, 2004, AES Gener executed a credit agreement for US$93.4 million (ThCh$52,061,160) in order to repurchase the notes issued by its subsidiaries TermoAndes and InterAndes in 1998. Upon conclusion of such repurchase, AES Gener
  transferred the notes to Gener Argentina S.A., which in turn transferred the notes to TermoAndes and InterAndes, respectively, thereby canceling the notes. This credit agreement was guaranteed, among other things, by a pledge on all the shares of
  TermoAndes and InterAndes, a mortgage over the TermoAndes power plant and a lien on the transmission line which connects TermoAndes Salta plant with the SING. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2004 totaled ThUS$77,157
  (ThCh$43,007,213).

|(ii)  | As part of the refinancing process completed on November 30, 2004, by Chivor as described above, AES Gener, issued an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit in the amount of up to ThUS$9,7 in favor of Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, in its
  capacity as trustee for the benefit of the bondholders.

|(iv)  | On November 26, 2004, Norgener refinanced a US$29 million supplier credit with the proceeds from a US$29 million bank facility. This refinancing allowed Norgener to reduce its interest expenses and to extend by two years (to 2009) the final maturity
  of its obligations. The pledge over Plant Unit 2 remains the same.

2) LITIGATION AND DISPUTESa) Disputes in the CDEC-SIC

A dispute exists between member companies of the CDEC-SIC, related to the firm capacity received by the generation units in the system. The calculation methodology for firm capacity in the CDEC-SIC from the year 2000
  forward was not unanimously approved as required by the electric regulations, therefore the issue was resolved by the Ministry of Economy and Energy through Ministerial Resolution N° 119 dated November 2, 2001 (MR-119).

Endesa filed an appeal for reconsideration of MR-119, which was resolved by Ministerial Resolution N° 17 (MR-17), dated April 14, 2004 which determined modification of the calculation methodology for hydroelectric plants with dams. This
  modification resulted in an increase in the firm capacity of these plants and consequently, a reduction in the firm capacity of the rest of the plants in the system. On April 22, 2004, AES Gener filed an appeal for reconsideration, which was
  partially accepted by Ministerial Resolution N° 35 (MR-35), dated June 15, 2004 which ordered the CDEC-SIC to apply the calculation methodology established in MR-17, but to redefine the hours with the highest probability of load loss. Endesa
  filed an appeal for reconsideration of MR-35 which was denied on August 19, 2004. The dispute was not unanimously resolved as required at CDEC-SIC meeting held on July 27, 2004, thus a new dispute was submitted and resolved by the Experts Panel
  (Panel de Expertos) through Ruling 1 dated September 9, 2004. Ruling 1 fixed peak hours in 8.  The Operations Department (Dirección de Operaciones) of the CDEC-SIC proceeded with the resettlements of firm capacity on October 1,
  2004, determining that peak capacity transfer payments resettled should be paid to AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago S.A. and Empresa Eléctrica Guacolda S.A., in the amounts of ThCh$6,744,000 (ThUS$12,099), ThCh$3,667,000 (ThUS$6,579) y
  ThCh$3,032,000 (ThUS$5,440), respectively, figures updated as of October 1, 2004, through MR 65 dated October 4, 2004.  Both the Company and its subsidiary Eléctrica Santiago S. A. only received payments made by Transelec, while Pehuenche and
  Ibener S.A. did not proceed with payments at all. On its side, the equity method investee Empresa Eléctrica Guacolda S.A. did not receive payments from any of the previously mentioned companies. Later in October 2004, some members of the
  CDEC-SIC settled discrepancies in the calculations presented by the Operations Department, submitting such matters to the Experts Panel.  The Experts Panel issued its decision on December 9, 2004 through Rulings 5 to 13.  Consistent with Rulings 5
  to 13, the Operations Department of the CDEC-SIC, reported on January 18 and 19, 2005, the results of the balances of the peak capacity transfers corresponding to periods April 2000 to March 2004, pursuant to which AES Gener S.A., Eléctrica
  Santiago S.A. and Empresa Eléctrica Guacolda S.A. received ThCh$2,757,437 (ThUS$4,947), ThCh$1,313,631 (ThUS$2,357) y ThCh$1,204,114 (ThUS$2,160), respectively. 
  In turn, Endesa, Pehuenche S.A. and Pangue S.A. filed before the 9th Civil Court of Santiago, a

public law appeal for annulment of the MR 35 against the Chilean State.  The Chilean State has settled dilatory pleas on this appeal. In addition, a new discrepancy has emerged in the CDEC-SIC, during January, concerning the minimum storage levels
used in the calculations of firm capacity for the Laja and Rapel dams.

The methodology of calculation for the peak capacity in the CDEC-SING for years 2000 and beyond could not be adopted by the unanimity required by the electric regulation, thus the matter was resolved by the Ministry of
Economy, Development and Reconstruction through Ministerial Resolution 163 dated December 28, 2001. Upon implementing said methodology, a new divergence arose in the CDEC-SING, which was resolved through Ministerial Resolution 106 dated December 29,
2003. The MR 106 included, among other aspects, a material modification in the methodology of acknowledging peak capacity commitments of a generator, as a result of that, a new divergence arose, related to the application proposed by the Operations
Department. With regards to this divergence, on March 17, 2004, the Experts Panel of the CDEC-SING, after reviewing the positions of the different member companies of said CDEC, stated that the application of MR 106 showed anomalous results and
contained elements that were inconsistent with DS 327 (electric rules), constituting  a regulation change which avoids the retroactive application  of it, as of year 2000, recommending to modify MR106, and as a subsidy of the hereinbefore, that said
resolution was not applied with retroactive effect.

Subsidiary Norgener filed an appeal before the Ministry of Economy, on April 6, 2004, requesting the derogation of certain aspects of the MR 106, by virtue of article 53 of law 19.880, which states the Principles for
Administrative Proceedings Governing the Actions of the State Administration Organisms (Bases de los Procedimientos Administrativos que Rigen los Actos de los Órganos de la Administración del Estado); and likewise, the decree of
the provisional stay of the application of MR 106, in the part affected by the appeal of annulment. On April 26, 2004, the Ministry of Economy accepted the appeal and stayed the effects of MR 106.  Nevertheless, on June 26, 2004, the Ministry denied
the appeal for annulment filed, through MR 39/2004, and left without effect the suspension previously decreed. Following, Norgener S.A. requested Contraloría General de la República to order the annulment of MR 106 and 39, as
they are considered not to be consistent with the regulations. This request is still pending.

AES Gener S.A. and Norgener S.A. paid approximately ThCh$2,014,000 (ThUS$3,613) for firm capacity on July 22, 2004, pursuant to the application of MR 106 for the period from January 2000 to May 2004.

Likewise, the CDEC-SING Board has submitted three discrepancies to the Experts Panel, which are intended to modify the application the Operations Department has granted to the MR 106, so that the application is carried
out consistent with the rights and interests of AES Gener S.A. and Norgener S.A. Through Ruling 1-2005, issued on January 26, 2005, the Experts Panel ratified, in a first divergence, the application the Operations Department had granted to the MR
106. Through Ruling 2-2005, dated February 24, 2005, the Experts Panel accepted the position of AES Gener in said divergence and decreed that the calculation of the peak capacity balances for years 2000 to 2003, with respects to the
determination of the peak capacity demand of each of the generators, must be held applying the modifications in the methodology stated in MR 106 as of year 2002. In agreement with companys calculations, the applications of Ruling
2-2005 would represent a reimbursement of approximately 50% of the amount paid in July 2004, amount which will be determined by the CDEC-SING during March 2005. Previously, on February 3, 2005, the Experts Panel had declared inadmissible another
discrepancy related to the same matter, filed by AES Gener S.A. and Norgener S.A. , declaring that the matter set forth could only be submitted to the Experts Panel, once Ruling 2  2005 had been issued. (See note 36 c) )

|c)Legal Proceedings                                
|c.1  Junta de Vigilancia de Río Maipo vs. AES Gener

AES Gener was sued by the Junta de Vigilancia of Río Maipo (security services committee), which filed a lawsuit in the 2nd Civil Court of Santiago (case number 1062-01) for an alleged debt of ThCh $40,422 as of December 31, 2004. This suit
is related to the payment of installments that were allegedly owed to such committee for the years 1999 and 2000. AES Gener has opposed the lawsuit, because it does not make use of any of the committee's services or facilities. The plaintiff has
garnished approximately ThCh$39,690 (ThUS$71) of AES Gener's cash, which is classified as restricted cash. On January 26, 2004, the court issued an order declaring that it would hear the suit. AES Gener appealed the decision on March 10, 2004, and
this appeal is pending in the Appeals Court of Santiago. The committee is also pursuing extrajudicial payment for the years 2001 to 2004 for an amount of ThCh$ 289,557 (ThUS$519). AES Gener has made a provision for this contingency in the amount of
ThCh$289,557 (ThUS$519).

c.2 Justo Gallardo vs. AES Gener

AES Gener has been sued for monetary compensation by a resident living close to the Renca facility, who claims to have suffered certain damages due to the operation of the power plant. The resident has requested the payment of ThCh$120,000
(ThUS$215) in a lawsuit filed in the 28th Civil Court of Santiago (case number 4070-99). The lawsuit was rejected in the lower court and it is currently in the appeals court pending final judgment.

AES Gener estimates that the appeal will be rejected since the lawsuit is not sustainable. There is no connection between the alleged facts and the damages caused; there is no responsibility by AES Gener as to the facts or the damages, and the
alleged rights have become unenforceable under the statute of limitations.

AES Gener has not accrued a provision for this contingency.

c.3 Bankers Trust International Corporation (Delaware) Inc. vs. AES Gener and Ralph Wilkerson.

On May 24, 2002, AES Gener was served with a lawsuit filed by BTI Corporation (Delaware), as the assignee of the trustee in the bankruptcy of Cordex Petroleums Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada. The total amount sought
against AES Gener in the lawsuit is ThCh$4,838,789 (ThUS$8,681) plus interest and legal fees. The lawsuit is based on breach of contract, inducing breach of contract, inducing breach of fiduciary duty and fraud against AES Gener related to its
alleged collusion with the other defendant, Mr. Ralph Wilkerson to breach his contractual and fiduciary duties owed to Cordex Petroleums, Inc. The lawsuit, case No. 0101-05135, was filed in the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta, Judicial
District of Calgary, Canada. On July 19, 2002, AES Gener submitted a motion for dismissal claiming, among other things, the lack of jurisdiction of the Canadian Courts and the improper obtaining of a court order allowing the Plaintiff to serve the
Statement of Claim on AES Gener in Chile. A hearing was originally set for February 6, 2003, but it was suspended due to the late filing of an affidavit by the Plaintiff in response to the motion.

In March 2003, the judge decided to admit late-filed affidavit, only if it was used for the permitted

purpose of remedying any technical deficiencies in the information previously submitted to the Court to obtain the order allowing the Plaintiff to serve the Statement of Claim on AES Gener in Chile. On April 14, 2003, the Plaintiff filed an appeal
of this decision before the Alberta Court of Appeal and on March 14, 2004, the Court of Appeal ruled that the judges ruling regarding admissibility of the Plaintiffs late-filed affidavit was premature and that issue should be determined
by the judge who hears AES Gener's motion to dismiss. The parties are negotiating an extra judicial agreement, which is expected to be completed within the second quarter. The Company has recorded an allowance for ThCh$1,282,020 (ThUS$2,300). On
June 6, 2005 the parties reached a mutual release and settlement agreement where the Plaintiff filed a discontinuance of action before the Alberta Courts. (See Note 26 1) c.3)

c.4  Hidroeléctrica Guardia Vieja - Hidroeléctrica Aconcagua vs. AES Gener

In December 1999, AES Gener filed an arbitration proceeding against Hidroeléctrica Guardia Vieja S.A. and Hidroeléctrica Aconcagua S.A. (HGV-HASA) claiming default in the performance of contractual obligations related to an energy and
capacity sales contract. The arbitrator accepted AES Gener's claims and the defendants were ordered to fulfill the terms of the contract. On December 14, 2001, the arbitrator issued a decision, which consistent with AES Gener's claim ordered
modification of the "Sales Agreement for Electric Power and Capacity and Other" between AES Gener and HGV-HASA, dated November 2, 1993.  Such decision, required re-issuance of the invoices exchanged between the parties from April 1998 until the
final compliance date established by the decision. AES Gener's demands under the lawsuit were for ThCh$5,444,617 (ThUS$9,768). On December 31, 2004, the corresponding amount, including interest and contract modifications, was ThCh$9,064,637
(ThUS$16,262). HGV-HASA filed a nullity appeal before the Santiago Appeals Court and this appeal is still pending.

Based on the arbitrator's acceptance of the lawsuit filed by AES Gener, in 2001, the Company recorded as income a portion of the gain contingency equal to ThCh$2,940,374 (ThUS$5,275). On December 31, 2004, under Chilean GAAP the company has
re-evaluated the recoverability of this receivable and has recorded a provision against the contingency recorded in 2001.

c.5 Superintendence of Electricity and Fuels ("CSEC") vs. AES Gener

In an Ordinary Notice dated December 6, 2002, the CSEC formulated charges against AES Gener and its related companies for alleged failures in electric coordination as members of the CDEC-SIC, related to the blackout, which occurred on September 23,
2002 in the SIC. On January 24, 2003, AES Gener refuted the validity of the claim in a filing made with the CSEC.

On August 20, 2003, the CSEC fined all CDEC-SIC members as a result of the blackout, alleging responsibility based solely on their status as CDEC members. AES Gener was fined 1,500 UTA or Annual Tax Units (equivalent to approximately ThCh$545,544
(ThUS$979), subsidiary Eléctrica Santiago was fined 1,000 UTA (equivalent to approximately ThCh$363,696 (ThUS$652) and Empresa Eléctrica Guacolda S.A. was also fined 1,000 UTA (equivalent to approximately ThCh$363,696 (ThUS$652).

AES Gener and its related companies filed motions of appeal before the CSEC on August 29, 2003, which were rejected on June 21, 2004. On June 26, 2004, we and Eléctrica Santiago, and on July 2, 2004, Guacolda filed an appeal before the
Santiago Court of Appeals, depositing in favor of the court 25% of the fine applied by the CSEC, as required. AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago together accrued a provision for this contingency in the amount of ThCh$227,310 (ThUS$408) and
Guacolda accrued a provision in the amount of

ThCh$90,924 (ThUS$163).

c.6 CSEC vs. AES Gener

On February 21, 2003, the CSEC formulated charges against AES Gener and the other CDEC-SIC members, related to the blackout, which occurred on January 13, 2003. The Company promptly responded by rejecting the charges. On April 27, 2004, the CSEC
fined all of the CDEC-SIC members as a result of the aforementioned blackout alleging their responsibility as a consequence of their CDEC-SIC membership. AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Guacolda were each fined 560 UTA, equivalent to
approximately ThCh$203,670 (ThUS$365) each. On May 7, 2004, AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Guacolda all appealed the fines before the CSEC, the resolution is pending.

Management believes that the charges formulated by the CSEC are unlawful, and as a result, the Company has not accrued a provision for the contingency.

As of April 12, 2004, AES Gener was notified of the resolution issued by the CSEC which formulated charges against AES Gener and all the other member companies of the CDEC-SIC related to the blackout which occurred in the SIC on November 7, 2003,
alleging responsibility based solely on their respective status as CDEC members. The Company denied the charges on a filing made before the CSEC on May 3, 2004.

Management believes that the charges formulated by the CSEC are unlawful, and as a result, the Company has not accrued a provision for the contingency.

c.8 CSEC vs. AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago S.A. and Energía Verde S.A.

On September 24, 2004, the CSEC formulated charges against AES Gener and its subsidiaries Eléctrica Santiago and Energía Verde, for allegedly providing the CSEC with erroneous information regarding unregulated contract prices that are
utilized in determining the regulated node prices during each semi-annual period. On October 13, 2004, AES Gener, Eléctrica Santiago and Energía Verde submitted their responses in which they rejected the justification for the charges.
In our opinion, the charges formulated by the CSEC are incorrect and without merit.

On March 11, 2004 AES Gener requested arbitration by the International Commerce Chamber ("ICC") in Paris pursuant to Article No. 4 and Article No. 18.1 of the shareholder's agreement executed between AES Gener, Coastal Itabo Ltd. ("Coastal") and
NCI on August 13, 1999. The arbitrator is petitioned to resolve the disputes between the parties to the shareholders agreement as described below.

The request for arbitration is based on the fact that notice has been provided to AES Gener claiming that it breached the aforementioned shareholder's agreement, based on Resolution SIE-60-2003 of the Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels of the
Dominican Republic (SEF) dated September 5, 2003, which ordered The AES Corporation to dispose of its indirect participation in Itabo. The basis for this resolution is that the SEF believes that The AES Corporation, through its subsidiaries,
controls and as a result, has

ownership participation in the Dominican Republic electric industry in excess of the 15% allowed by the country's electricity law. As a result, AES Gener filed a constitutional rights proceeding before the Dominican Republic courts. On February 20,
2004, a Dominican Republic court issued a ruling declaring, among other matters, that the SEF's charges have no legal effect and ordered it to suspend the effects of the foregoing Resolution SIE-60-2003. On March 1, 2004, the SEF appealed such
ruling. On April 15, 2004, Coastal filed a counter suit at the ICC alleging that AES Gener has not complied with the shareholder's agreement related to the procedure established for resolving disputes between the parties. AES Gener presented its
response to the counter suit on June 15, 2004. Management believes that Coastal has no legitimate basis for its contract claims and no legal basis for its electricity law claims as the resolution and a subsequently issued "Formulation of Charges" of
the Superintendence of Electricity were rejected by a Dominican court. If Coastal is successful in its claims, the Company would be required to sell to Coastal our interest in Itabo at 75% of its current independently determined value. AES Gener
requested arbitration by the ICC in response to Coastals claim that AES Gener breached the shareholders agreement between the two parties. To date, the arbitration panel has been selected.

The outcome of this arbitration is uncertain and the
company has not accrued a provision for the contingency.

c.10 Corporación Dominicana de Empresas Eléctricas Estatales (CDEEE) vs. Itabo S.A. and itsPresident

On July 21, 2004, the Corporación Dominicana de Empresas Eléctricas Estatales, the Dominican Corporation of State-Owned Electric Companies or CDEEE, which is the government entity that currently owns 50% of Itabo, filed two suits with
a Dominican Republic court in the city of Santo Domingo against Itabo and its President. In the first suit, CDEEE requests a rendering of accounts of Itabo by each of Itabo and its President, specifically with regard to all transactions between
Itabo and its related parties. In the second suit, CDEEE requests that the court order Itabo to deliver its accounting books and records for the period from September 1999 to July 1, 2004 to CDEEE, and that an independent expert audit such
accounting records and present a report to CDEEE and the court. In this second suit, CDEEE also requests that Itabo pay a fine of approximately ThCh$2,230 (ThUS$4).  CDEEE additionally requests that if Itabo refuses to provide a rendering of
accounts as requested, the court order the garnishment of the personal and real estate properties of Itabo and its President.

The contracts under which the CDEEE bases its standing for these suits contain arbitration clauses that require all claims to be presented to the ICC in New York and are governed by New York law.

On August 18, 2004, Itabo filed a motion before the Board of Reconciliation and Arbitration of the Chamber of Commerce and Production of Santo Domingo or the Consejo de Conciliación y Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio y
Producción de Santo Domingo requesting the following determinations:  (i) inapplicability of the ordinary justice system to hear the claims by CDEEE and (ii) inapplicability of CDEEEs request for a rendering of accountability by
Itabo, among others. On August 18, 2004, the first hearing with respect to CDEEEs claim for a rendering of accountability and damages was held.  At the hearing, CDEEE moved for an extension of time in order to conduct document discovery. The
motion was agreed to by the defendants.

In accordance with the statutory and contractual provisions between CDEEE and Itabo, as related parties in Itabos capitalization process, the parties are required to conduct an arbitration proceeding for the settlement of any controversy,
claim or dispute, including a petition requesting arendering of accountability or the imposition of damages. The designated place of arbitration is New York City.

Chamber of Commerce and Production of Santo Domingo on August 18, 2004, thearbitration panel is currently in the process of being constituted.

In relation to the CDEEEs request for a rendering of accountability for the accounts of Itabo, on September 29, 2004 the court rejected CDEEEs request.

With regard to the second lawsuit in which CDEEE requests that the court order Itabo to deliver accounting books and records and that an independent expert audit such accounting records, a hearing was held on February 9, 2005. On said hearing the
judge ordered an extension for document discovery in accordance with the parties petition and set a new hearing for March 30, 2005.

On February 9, 2005, Itabo settled an arbitration proceeding before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against CDEEE and the Wealth Fund of Reformed Companies/ Wealth Fund for Development (Fondo Patrimonial de las Empresas
Reformadas/ Fondo Patrimonial para el Desarrollo ) (FONPER). The main objectives of the proceeding are declaring (i) basic contracts (the Basic Contracts) in effect and fully valid,  ii) CDEEE and FONPER have breached the
contractual dispositions contained in the basic contracts, related to the resolution of controversies and to the non-intervention in the management and administration of Itabo;  (iii) proceedings to refrain from starting and/ or continuing any
judicial or extrajudicial action against Itabo, with the exception of the controversy solution mechanism foreseen in the basic contracts; and (iv) those persons who are certified as Itabos shareholders, shall comply with the dispositions
contained in Itabos By-Laws and with contractual dispositions contained in the basic contracts to decide any matter related to the management and administration of Itabo. FONPER submitted an answer and asserted a counterclaim on April 21,
2005. CDEEE submitted an answer on April 23, 2005. Itabo answered FONPER ́s counterclaim on May 12, 2005.
The arbitration panel is in the process of being constituted and therefore the outcome of this issue is uncertain.

c.11 Arbitration AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago S.A.  vs. Argentine natural gas producers, members of the Sierra Chata Consortium

AES Gener S.A. and Eléctrica Santiago S.A. filed an arbitration proceeding on July 13, 2004, before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against the Argentinean natural gas producers, members of the Sierra Chata Consortium, made up by
Petrolera Santa Fe S.R.L., Mobil Exploration & Development Argentina Inc., Atalaya Energy S.R.L., Canadian Hunter Argentina S.R.L. and Total Austral S.A. This action was filed before the ICC pursuant to the terms of the gas supply agreement. The
main objective of the action was to request the arbitration court to order gas producers to comply with their obligations of delivering the total supply contracted and /or compensate for the losses incurred by the plaintiff. As of the date of the
filing, the Company estimates that contractual damages amount to US$7.3 million.  The Company and Eléctrica Santiago S.A. request the compensation for direct damages as consequence of the breach of contract, and also a compensation for future
damages, in the form foreseen in the Argentinean legislation.  The defendants responded to the arbitration proceeding on October 8, 2004, arguing that the Argentinean government decreed the natural gas restrictions, and as such, they are considered,
pursuant to the agreement, Force Majeure events. Each of the parties has designated an arbitrator, and a third one is to be chosen by the two designated arbitrators. As soon as the third arbitrator is chosen, the case will be submitted
to the arbitration court to decide the terms of reference.

The outcome of this arbitration is uncertain, and the Company considers that the proceeding filed is inadmissible, and as a consequence, has not accrued a provision for the contingency.

|1. | On November 29, 2004, AES Gener and Eléctrica Santiago (ESSA) were notified of a complaint against them filed by three insurance companies: Liberty Compañía de Seguros, Compañía de Seguros Generales Cruz del Sur
  S.A. and Compañía de Seguros Generales Penta Security S.A. The Insurance Companies had paid Codelco-Andina (copper mine property of a large state owned Chilean company) for damages caused by production losses due to the failure of
  their own 110 Kv line in June 2000. In order to help Codelco Andina, ESSA delivered the electricity in an alternative point of supply, Las Vegas 110 kV substation, through transmission lines owned by AES Gener. Due to capacity restrictions in the
  AES Gener's transmission lines, ESSA offered and Codelco Andina accepted this supply subject to restrictions. In December 2000, the restrictions on the AES Gener's system increased and the electricity supply to Codelco Andina was reduced. After an
  arbitration (before a Chilean arbitrator) between the insurance companies and Codelco Andina the insurance companies were condemned to pay US$ 6,086,144 in favor of Codelco. Now the insurance companies are trying to recover this money (plus
  costs, fees and interests) from AES Gener and ESSA. They are claiming, by virtue of subrogation of the insured rights, the compensation for damages

|  
|   | for presumed contractual liabilities of ESSA and AES Gener, for the amount of US$ 6,616,658 (amount paid to the insured, which includes fees and expenses of the arbitration trial held between the parties). The claim for compensation of damages,
  is based on the lack of written notice by ESSA and AES GENER about the repairs that were made to the 110 kv lines (Las Vegas), pursuant to the supply contract. They affirm that if written notices had been given, indicating that said line
  would be out of service during all the time AES GENER works took place, Codelco-Andina would have adopted preventive measures to avoid damages suffered, particularly production losses. Additionally, in the event that the complaint for compensation
  of damages due to contractual liabilities of AES GENER was rejected or the Court is to consider that all or part of the responsibility of ESSA exceeds the contract boundaries, a compensation of damages for extra-contractual liabilities for the same
  amount therein above mentioned is claimed. On December 21, ESSA and AES GENER separately filed an incidental proceeding to stay the main litigation, and as subsidy dilatory pleas, among them the incompetence of the court. Said incidental proceeding
  is in process of resolution by a judge knowledgeable in the subject matter.

3) FINANCIAL COVENANTS

|a) | Certain of our credit agreements contain provisions that impose restrictions on the transfer of funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The indenture governing our 7.50% senior notes due in March 2014 and the credit agreement we
  executed on April 16, 2004 as part of the restructuring of TermoAndes' and InterAndes' indebtedness, both contain provisions that restrict payments of dividends which exceed the sum of, without duplication, 100% of consolidated net income accrued
  during each accounting period to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter plus US$10 million. However, these agreements do not prohibit minimum legally required dividend payments in accordance with applicable law, which in Chile are equal to
  30% of net income for each fiscal year.

|   | AES Gener, as issuer of the ThCh$222,960,000 (ThUS$400,000) 7.5% Senior Notes due in March 2014, must comply with certain limitations on indebtedness. As such, AES Gener and its subsidiaries, with the exception of Chivor, may not issue debt
  unless the following financial restrictions, calculated based on the Companys consolidated financial statements, have been met:

4) OTHER CONTINGENCIES 
a)  Contingencies and Covenants related to TermoAndes and InterAndes in Argentina:

a.1 Assets with Restricted Availability

On February 27, 2004, AES Gener entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, in which Gener Argentina, TermoAndes and InterAndes acted as guarantors.

On April 16, 2004,  the bank syndicate granted AES Gener a loan equal to ThCh$52,061,160 (ThUS$93,400), which was used by the Company to make a tender offer to purchase all of TermoAndes and InterAndes outstanding notes. The tender
offer was successfully completed and immediately after such purchase, AES Gener made a capital contribution in kind to Gener Argentina of all the notes.  Gener Argentina, in turn, made a capital contribution of the notes to TermoAndes and
InterAndes, thereby canceling the entire amount of the outstanding notes.

As collateral for AES Geners obligations under the credit agreement, Gener Argentina, TermoAndes and InterAndes granted the following guarantees in favor of Banco Francés S.A., which acts as the collateral agent for the lenders:

- Gener Argentina granted a first-priority pledge over its shares of TermoAndes and InterAndes,
- TermoAndes granted a mortgage over the Salta Plant and assigned certain contracts in guarantee;
- InterAndes assigned certain contracts in guarantee,
- AES Gener granted a mortgage over the transmission line which connects the Andes substation, located in the province of Antofagasta, to Paso Sico, located on the border between Chile and Argentina.

a.2 Natural Gas Purchase Agreement

On August 4, 1997, TermoAndes entered into a gas supply agreement with the consortium composed of Mobil Argentina S.A. (formerly Ampolex Argentina S.A.), Compañía General de Combustibles S.A., Ledesma
S.A., Tecpetrol S.A. and YPF S.A. (the Consortium) for a twelve-year term which initiated on

as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

January 31, 1999. Although there is only one gas supply contract, the obligations are divided: 50% to be supplied by YPF, and the remaining 50% to be supplied by Tecpetrol, Ledesma, CGC and Mobil (hereinafter, jointly denominated Tecpetrol).

With respect to the YPF portion of the gas supply, on September 13, 2004 TermoAndes and YPF reached an agreement which resolved all outstanding disputes.

With regard to the Tecpetrol portion of the gas supply, the principal disputes are related to:  (i) TermoAndes take-or-pay (TOP) obligations under the gas supply contract for 80% of 95% of the contracted capacity, (ii) the
applicable payment currency, and, (iii) gas supply restrictions, as detailed below:

TermoAndes TOP obligations under the gas supply contract is for 80% of 95% of the contracted capacity. The base contractual capacity is on average 2,375 Dm3/day and the annual contractual capacity may be reduced
by 10% at the request of TermoAndes. This option was exercised by TermoAndes, which reduced the take-or-pay obligation to 1,625 Dm3/day. The annual TOP obligation should be calculated at the end of each year. Both the TOP obligation and the
contractual capacity are higher than the requirements for the actual dispatch of the power plant which, due to reliability restrictions in the Chilean northern interconnected system, generates at approximately 38% of its capacity. Currently,
TermoAndes requirements are approximately 1,150 Dm3/day. As such, the remaining 475 Dm3/day must be paid even if it is not consumed, in accordance with the terms of the contract. If this gas is paid for, it may be consumed up to two years beyond the contract termination date.

The supply contract includes a most favored nation clause (MFN clause), by means of which the suppliers are obligated to provide TermoAndes with the same conditions contained in any other gas
supply contract they have in place with generators located in northern Chile. This clause may only be applied while TermoAndes exports all of its generation to Chile. TermoAndes has information which suggests the existence of contracts between
its gas suppliers and other generation companies which have less stringent take-or-pay obligations.  The suppliers refusal to provide theses contracts for review also supports such belief.

On April 19, 1999, an agreement was reached with all gas suppliers to eliminate the take-or-pay obligation for the year 1999.

Tecpetrol has never invoiced any amount associated with take-or-pay, and thus, TermoAndes has never paid for gas not consumed.

As of August 31, 2004, TermoAndes registered in its financial statements the take-or-pay debt incurred with Tecpetrol during years 2000 through 2003 as a current liability under accounts payable for an
amount of US$ 8,033,754.  It also registered a non-current asset in the same amount under long term debtors for the make-up gas that it may consume at any time during the term of the agreement plus two additional years.

According to managements assessment of this issue, the take-or-pay credit could be recoverable in the term established by the gas supply agreement if the plants generation level increases prior to year 2008.

At present, TermoAndes and Tecpetrol are discussing several issues in an arbitration proceeding

before the Arbitral Tribunal of the International Chamber of Commerce. The take-or-pay has been included in the arbitration proceeding through a counterclaim presented by TermoAndes which requests the Suppliers be required to comply with the MFN
clause.

During 2004, no additional take-or-pay (nor make-up) has been accrued, as Tecpetrol has been unable to supply the gas required by TermoAndes for generation during the period.

Although the price established in the gas supply agreement was originally in U.S. Dollars, after the enactment of the Emergency Law and based on its provisions, TermoAndes pays the price in pesos at the ratio of 1 U.S. Dollar = 1 Argentine Peso,
without having established any reserve/provision in excess of the amounts actually paid. Tecpetrol claims that TermoAndes must pay in U.S. dollars and submitted a claim before the Secretary of Energy based on an extensive interpretation of Decrees
689/02 and 1491/02, which provides for the dollarization of gas and energy export contracts, respectively. TermoAndes has rejected the claim by making the corresponding filings. At the same time, TermoAndes has been negotiating with Tecpetrol within
the framework of the provisions set forth in the government's Public Emergency and Exchange Regime Reform Law (the "Emergency Act"), however, such negotiations have not been successful to date.

Even though the Emergency Act provided that the specified contracts were to be adjusted by the Stabilization Reference Ratio (Coeficiente de Estabilización de Referencia or "CER"), Tecpetrol has not billed or claimed the applicability of
such concept. Regardless of the aforementioned, TermoAndes has made a provision for the CER from January 1, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, a provision of ThUS$351 was recorded.

On January 30, 2004, TermoAndes was notified that Tecpetrol S.A., Mobil Argentina S.A. and Compañía General de Combustibles, filed a lawsuit at the International Commerce Chamber asking for the re-dollarization of gas prices.
Tecpetrols claim as per their arbitral complaint of March 2004, amounts to ThUS$12,140. TermoAndes replied on June 10, 2004 with a counter-lawsuit related to: (i) the default of the suppliers regarding the most favored nation clause, (ii)
the unilateral modification of the point of gas injection by the suppliers, (iii) the obligation to supply the contracted quantities, and (iv) the ability of TermoAndes to resell the gas not consumed. On May 12, 2004, the plaintiffs responded to
TermoAndes counterclaim. On November 26, 2004, the case was presented to the arbitration panel for determination of the terms of reference. As of March 31, 2005 the evidence offered by the parties is under analysis.

In June 2004, TermoAndes notified its gas suppliers that as of May 11, 2004, it would increase gas payments to reflect the new gas price for the northeastern Argentine market, in accordance with the guidelines of the Argentine Natural Gas
Regulatory Agency or ENARGAS and the Secretary of Energy, consistent with Resolution 208/04 of the Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investment and Services. This resulted in an increase of 40.01% in the price of natural gas above the price
effective in May 2004, and an additional 18.33% increase as of October 1, 2004.

As a result of a series of factors, including lack of investment by natural gas producers in recent

years and a rapid increase in the demand for natural gas, in early 2004, the executive branch of government in Argentina authorized the Argentine Secretary of Energy to implement measures to ensure supply to certain natural gas users through
issuance of Decree Number 180/04 on February 13, 2004 (Decree 180).

Since then, Argentine authorities have passed a series of resolutions which, in order to ensure natural gas supply to the domestic market, have imposed restrictions on natural gas exports, natural gas supplies used for
electric generation exports and natural gas transportation services utilized for export.

On June 17, 2004, the Argentine Secretary of Energy issued Resolution 659/04 which approved the Complementary Supply Program for the Domestic Natural Gas Market. This resolution instructs gas suppliers to inject additional gas volumes
to the domestic market and if the injection of additional gas volumes affects the amount of gas to be exported, the suppliers have the alternative of replacing such export gas with equivalent energy sources. Additionally, Resolution 659/04
established additional restrictions for gas exports from the Northern basin, which the Secretary of Energy also applied to TermoAndes gas consumption.

This situation resulted in a decrease in the gas supplied to TermoAndes, which led to occasional reductions in generation. These restrictions were partially compensated by short term gas supply contracts and spot gas purchases.

To mitigate the effects of the gas supply restrictions, in March 2004, TermoAndes commissioned the liquid fuel burning system of the facility, which permits operations to continue even in the event of gas interruptions, thereby preventing the loss
of firm capacity payments.

TermoAndes has taken all the appropriate legal measures available, in order to challenge the restrictions in its gas supply given that it believes that it has been subject to discriminatory and unreasonable treatment that has damaged its
constitutional rights of fairness, rationality and property.

TermoAndes and Transportadora de Gas de Norte (TGN) entered into a firm natural gas transportation agreement for a period of seventeen years, which initiated on January 15, 1999.  The contract price for transportation service is composed
of a regulated rate and an additional contribution. The rate to be applied to the firm natural gas transportation service corresponds to the applicable local market rate and is subject to modifications in accordance with the rate regulations
approved by ENARGAS. All disputes between TermoAndes and TGN with respect to the application of the contract were resolved in January 2005, and the respective agreements became effective as of January 1, 2005.  Among other things, the parties agreed
to extend the term of the transportation agreement for three years, making it effective until January 14, 2019. Additionally, the parties dismissed and expressly waived all claims presented prior to January 2005.

b) Contingencies associated with Chivor in Colombia

b.1 Issuance of Notes and Colombian Credit Agreement

On November 30, 2004, Chivor, completed a US$253 million refinancing. As part of the refinancing, Chivor completed the sale of US$170 million of 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due in 2014. Chivor also closed on a local peso-denominated Colombian bank
facility for approximately US$83 million with a 7-year maturity. Chivor used the net proceeds of the Chivor notes, together with the net proceeds of the bank facility and Chivor's available cash, to repay in full Chivor's existing outstanding
syndicated loan facility of approximately US$260 million.

Both the note issuance and the local syndicated facility are guaranteed by: (a) an onshore trust agreement

whereby Chivors revenues arising from generation and commercialization of electric power are managed and held in trust to guarantee payment, and (b) a pledge over all of Chivors shares owned by Energy Trade and Finance Corporation and
the Chief Executive Officer of Chivor.

In addition to the guarantees provided above, Chivor agreed to open an Interest Reserve Account which was funded at closing. Such reserve must be equal, at all times, to the next scheduled interest payment. The account may be funded either with cash
or with one or more letters of credit. At closing, AES Gener provided a stand-by letter of credit which was issued by Citibank for such purpose.

Among the principal financial covenants, in order for the company to incur in additional indebtedness exceeding certain fixed limits, and in order to make restricted payments, which include dividend payments, the Interest Coverage Ratio of the
company needs to be no less than 2.25:1, and the Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio must be no greater than 3.80:1.

The notes are not subject to early redemption. Notwithstanding, if the company deposits with the trustee an amount equal to the full principal amount plus all interest to be accrued during the term of the notes, and upon fulfillment of additional
requirements, certain covenants would be deemed to be complied with.

The Colombian Credit Agreement establishes the following principal operating and financial commitments:

- Maintenance of a ratio of financial debt to free cash flow of 5.25:1 or less in 2005;
- Maintenance of a ratio of financial debt to free cash flow of 4.25:1 in 2006 forward;
- Maintenance of an EBITDA (as set forth in the Colombian Credit Agreement) to debt service coverage ratio of 1.20 or higher; and
- Maintenance of a debt service coverage ratio of free cash flow plus cash available at the end of the relevant period minus authorized but unpaid dividends to debt service of 1.10 or higher.

As of December 31, 2004 Chivor was in compliance with the covenants set for above.

1) As of October 15, 2002, a lawsuit was filed against Chivor and Emgesa S.A.E.S.P. (Emgesa) for the flooding of rice crops in the Meta River. The landowners have argued that Chivor and Emgesa caused damages to their land through spillouts
conducted by both companies. The total amount of the lawsuit is ThCol$3,500,000 (ThCh$816,362 or ThUS$1,465). A final decision could take approximately eight years to be issued. A court decision is expected to be issued in approximately four years.
As of December 31, 2004, a provision for ThCol$350,000 (ThCh$81,636 or ThUS$146) was recorded.

2)Mr. José Bermejo along with 46 other plaintiffs filed a joint action against Chivor and Emgesa for alleged damages caused to land and crops between May 2002 and May 2004.  The amount claimed as of December 31, 2004 amounts to
ThCol$2,100,000 (ThCh$ 489,817 or ThUS$879).  In accordance with Colombian law, more plaintiffs may join this lawsuit, and as a result, the amount claimed, may increase. A final decision in this dispute is expected to be issued in 2008. As of
December 31, 2004, a provision equal to ThCol$ 210,000 (ThCh$ 48,982 or ThUS$88) was recorded.

On March 25, 2004, the municipality of Almeida denied Chivors arguments in a request for reconsideration of the ThCol$16,690,000 (ThCh$3,892,882 or ThUS$6,984) fine imposed on Chivor for allegedly failing to comply with its obligation to file
industry and commerce tax (ICA) returns for the years 1998-2002. Chivor has duly and timely filed and paid all corresponding amounts. As a result, the company believes the probability of an adverse decision is unlikely based on its
management and legal counsel opinions.

On April 1, 2004 legal proceedings against the above-mentioned sanctions were filed, however, a final decision will not be issued until 2009 or 2010.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company has not made a provision for this contingency.

c) Contingencies and Covenants related to Eléctrica Santiago

c.1 Gas Supply

Resolution 265/2004 of the Argentine Ministry of Energy and Decree 27/2004 of Secretary of Fuels, which was later replaced by Resolution 659/2004 of Ministry of Energy. Among other things, these rulings ordered natural
gas producers to inject additional volumes the domestic market. The gas suppliers for the Nueva Renca Plant argued that such orders constitute force majeure under the contract, and as a result reduced the gas supply by 30% to 70% during certain days
during the first half of 2004. Eléctrica Santiago denied the force majeure argument, alleging that such causes were not exempt from the Suppliers actions, nor were they unexpected or unavoidable, given that the producers had the means
to inject the additional gas requested in the domestic market and at the same time comply with the supply agreement.

AES Gener, jointly with Eléctrica Santiago, filed an arbitration proceeding on July 13, 2004,  before the International Chamber of Commerce against members of the Sierra Chata Consortium, pursuant to that indicated in Note 26. 2) c.11.

Eléctrica Santiago has recorded in an off-balance sheet account deferred customs duties equal to approximately 11% of the capital and interest that originated from importing capital goods for the construction of the Nueva Renca plant. In
accordance with Chilean law, custom duty credits are applicable if the goods being produced are exported. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, current obligations for deferred customs duties net of the abovementioned benefit amounted to ThCh$1,186,085
(ThUS$1,901) and ThCh$2,168 (ThUS$4).

  blackout that affected the SIC on July 14, 1999. On May 5, 2000, Eléctrica Santiago filed a motion for reconsideration, arguing that such fine was illegal. The CSEC has not issued a resolution regarding the motion for reconsideration to date. As a result, payment of the fine has been temporarily suspended.

c.4 Guarantees Granted

Eléctrica Santiago has gas transportation agreements in place with Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A., GasAndes Argentina and GasAndes Chile, which contemplate two guarantees:

|a) | a basic guarantee to ensure compliance with its obligations, which is satisfied as long as an Investment Grade Rating, as defined in the contract, is maintained by Eléctrica Santiago, or otherwise by the issuance of a bank guarantee for an
  amount equal to one year of firm natural gas transportation service. As long as Eléctrica Santiago has an A investment grade rating granted by two local risk rating agencies registered with the Chilean SVS, such requirement would
  be satisfied. If Eléctrica Santiago loses its Investment Grade Rating, the abovementioned bank guarantee must be issued.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  
|b) | if transportation services are required to supply a new plant, an additional guarantee will be required, consisting of a bank guarantee equivalent to 10% of the present value of the transportation contract. This requirement will be dismissed if the
  Company maintains an A investment grade rating as discussed above.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|  
|   | During June 2004, one risk rating agency reduced Eléctrica Santiagos solvency and bond rating from A to BBB+, arguing that the company has a higher level of risk exposure due to the Argentine governments
  restrictions on natural gas supplies to Chile, as discussed above.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|  
|   | On November 24, 2004, Eléctrica Santiago provided GasAndes Chile with a non-endorsable letter of credit, in an aggregate amount of ThCh$1,798,438 (ThUS$3,226) to guarantee the performance of Eléctrica Santiagos
  obligations related to the existing natural gas transportation contract between the companies.

- unpledged assets must equal at least 125% of unsecured liabilities;

- the ratio of debt to equity may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00;

- a minimum equity level of UF 2 million (approximately ThCh$34,634,100 (ThUS$62,135)) must be maintained; and

- "Essential Assets" which represent more than 40% of total assets may not be sold, without the previous authorization of the bondholders.

As of December 31, 2004, Eléctrica Santiago was in compliance with the covenants set forth above.

The Sierra Chata Consortium of natural gas suppliers have provided notice of their intention to transfer to Eléctrica Santiago the 20% export duty recently approved the Argentine authorities in  Decree 645/04. Eléctrica Santiago has
rejected this measure, arguing that the duty is not applicable under the terms of its existing natural gas supply contract. Eléctrica Santiago will take all possible actions in order to ensure that the pass through of this duty does not
occur. If the Argentine export duty is deemed to be applicable to Eléctrica Santiagos gas supply imports, it would increase the plants fuel cost by approximately US$2.9 million for the period ending December 31, 2004 As of
December 31, 2004, Eléctrica Santiago has provisioned ThCh$809,692 (ThUS$1,453).

d)  Contingencies and Covenants related to Energía Verde

d.1 Deferred Customs Duties

As of December 31, 2004, a contingent liability exists related to deferred customs duties associated with a deferred payment plan totaling ThCh$78,248 (ThUS$140) in 2004 and ThCh$186,783 (ThUS$307) in 2003, which originated from the import of
capital goods for the construction of Energía Verdes thermoelectric power plant in San Francisco de Mostazal. This liability will remain effective until it is compensated, under the provisions of Law N°18,634, through the write off
of amortization payments over a term of 7 years. Energía Verde has steam process contracts with export companies and as such is allowed to use these tax credit benefits.

e) Contingencies and Covenants Related to Norgener

e.1 Deferred Customs Duties

The company will make use of the exemption granted by Law N°18,634, which are registered as contra accounts, and therefore, the company does not expect to make any payments. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, these customs duties totaled
ThCh$197,074 (ThUS$324) and ThCh$21,727 (ThUS$37), respectively.

On November 26, 2004, Norgener paid a US$29 million supplier credit with the proceeds from a

US$29 million bank facility. This repayment was made with the proceeds from a new credit which allowed Norgener to reduce its interest expenses and to extend by two years (to 2009) the final maturity of its obligations. The pledge over Plant Unit 2
remains the same.

Norgener must meet the following financial covenants established in the Banco de Chile credit agreement, calculated based on its stand-alone financial statements:

- Net tangible assets not less than ThCh$ 7,000,000 (ThUS$12,558)
- Maximum financial debt not greater than ThCh$22,296,000 (ThUS$40,000); and
- Net equity less related companies accounts receivable, plus unamortized short term and long term revenue related to the Escondida settlement payment not less than UF 7,380,000 (ThCh$127,799,829 or ThUS$229,279).

As of December 31, 2004, Norgener was in compliance with the covenants set forth above.

The company does not believe that the outcome of all claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on  the Companys financial position or results of operations.

5) CHANGE IN THE MONETARY REGIME AND DEVALUATION OF THE ARGENTINEPESO

In January 2002, the Argentine Congress passed Law N° 25,561 (the Emergency Law) which declared a state of economic emergency for a period of one year, renewable for equal periods. The last renewal was established by Law
N°25,972 promulgated on December 15, 2004, which extended the state of economic emergency until December 31, 2005.

Among other measures, the Emergency Law abrogated the convertibility of the Argentine peso into US Dollars at the rate of 1 to 1, as well as the contractual agreements with prices in US dollars or US dollar adjustment
clauses.

Additionally, the Secretary of Energy implemented three resolutions which modified the Mercado Eléctrico Mayorista or Electric Wholesale Market's (MEM) operating conditions. These resolutions include: (a)
Resolution SE 2/02 which pesofied obligations denominated in foreign currency established in the Procedures for Programming, Load Dispatch, and Price Calculation; (b) Resolution SE240/03 which established a ceiling for the spot market price; and (c)
Resolution SE 406/03 which modified the collection conditions related to electric energy supply. Given that the Salta plant is not connected to the MEM, these measures do not affect TermoAndes.

The evolution of Argentina's economic crisis may require the government to modify certain measures or to issue additional regulations.

6) POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

In 2003, the Dominican Republics economy experienced declining economic growth and increasing devaluation and inflation as a consequence of a series of factors including the government's macroeconomic policies, a growing private sector tax
burden and increasing international fuel prices. Associated with this general economic downturn, the electricity sector also experienced significant problems such as tariff erosion, elevated energy losses, collection problems and insufficient
quality of service. However, in the second half of 2004, the economy began to recover, primarily as a result of the strict monetary and fiscal policies applied by the new president from the Dominican Liberation Party, the party responsible for the
privatization of the electric sector in the Dominican Republic during the period 1996-2000, who took office on August 16, 2004. In particular, the new government is implementing a recovery plan to attempt to resolve many of the critical issues
facing the electric sector. This plan includes measures to resolve operating losses, implement regulatory improvements, introduce sustainable electricity tariffs, obtain multilateral financial support and improve quality of service, among others.
Itabo has evaluated the recoverability of the value of its fixed assets in accordance with the requirements set forth in Technical Bulletin No. 33 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, which states that, when evidence exists of an other than
temporary impairment of fixed assets, such that the Companys operations are not expected to generate sufficient net cash flows, to recover all fixed asset costs, including depreciation, that the book values of those assets must be reduced to
their net realizable values. As a result of this evaluation, no adjustments have been determined that affect the book values of Itabos fixed assets.

To ensure the long term supply of natural gas to its electric generation facilities, the Company and some of its subsidiaries have entered into take-or-pay contracts with natural gas and transportation service providers which require the payment of
certain minimum amounts of gas whether it is consumed or not. The minimum payments required to be made, whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries are able to take delivery of the gas, are as follows:

The distribution of energy and capacity to customers in Chile is based on the effective contracts during the period and the sales prices are those established by the tariff regulations of the Ministry of Economy And Energy.

In Chile, Argentina and Colombia, contracts with non-regulated customers are defined through negotiation with the counter parties. In addition, sales in the spot market are defined by current market prices in the respective countries.

Operating revenue includes energy, capacity, transmission and other services supplied and not billed amounting to ThCh$23,592,904 (ThUS$42,327) in 2002, ThCh$23,845,795 (ThUS$42,780) in 2003 and ThCh$25,934,332 (ThUS$46,527) in 2004. These amounts
are included in trade accounts receivable at December 31 of each year.

Sales of energy and capacity to other customers are related to Hidroeléctrica Guardia Vieja S.A., Pilmaiquén S.A., Compañía Minera Disputada Las Condes S.A., Cemento Polpaico S.A. and others.

On July 1, 2004, Minera Escondida Limitada paid AES Gener and Norgener a total amount of ThUS$15,000 and ThUS$25,000, respectively, of which: a) ThUS$10,000 corresponds to the use of transmission lines, during the period between 1999 and June 30,
2004, and b) ThUS$5,000 for the right of Escondida to connect to the Nueva Zaldivar substation from July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2015. The ThUS$10,000 was recorded as income in the present period, since the services had already been rendered. The
amount of ThUS$5,000 will be recognized on a straight-line basis from 2004 until 2015. Finally, the amount of ThUS$25,000 will be recognized from July 2004 to December 2015, based on the contracted supply.

as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

a) Information sent to the SVS dated January 18, 2005 was updated, consistent with that specified in Communication No 425 The following subsequent information was provided to the SVS:

The producers of the Sierra Chata Consortium which supplies natural gas to Eléctrica Santiagos Nueva Renca plant are delivering alternative energy to the local Argentine market, in accordance with the regulations established by
Argentine authorities. (Resolution 659/04 of the Ministry of Energy).

The above mentioned resolution has allowed the Sierra Chata Consortium to maintain operational its natural gas export authorization to Chile, without affecting the supply of gas to the Nueva Renca plant, which is
currently operating in base load with natural gas.

Considering the contribution of alternative energy to the Argentine domestic market, the cost for the operation of the Nueva Renca plant currently total US$26/MWh position favorably compares to the amount of US$84/MWh related to the operational
cost with diesel oil previously notified in the companys letter dated January 18, 2005.

b) In Ruling 2-2005, the Experts Panel accepted AES Geners position in this dispute ruling that the calculation of the peak capacity balances for years 2000 to 2003, with respect to the determination of the peak capacity demand for each
generator, must be determined by applying the modifications in the methodology established in MR-106 as of year 2002. In agreement with the Companys calculations, the application of Ruling 2-2005 would represent a reimbursement of
approximately 50% of the total amount paid in July 2004. The amount was received in February 2005 and amounted to ThCh$3,812,982 (ThUS$6,695).

Subsequent events after February 24, 2005:

c) With regard to the dispute among members of the CDEC-SING related to the method for calculating firm capacity payments, the Board of Directors of the CDEC-SING has submitted three discrepancies to the Experts Panel with regard to the
interpretation of MR-106. Based on the Experts Panels responses to these discrepancies issued in 2005, in March 2005, the CDEC-SING determined that the Company is to receive a reimbursement of the amount paid in July 2004 equal to
approximately US$1.8 million.  Two generation companies objected to the application period utilized by the CDEC-SING in its calculations and on April 26, 2005, the CDEC-SING submitted this issue to the Experts Panel for resolution. . On May 30, the
Experts Panel resolved this issue by which the reimbursement received by Norgener in April 22, will be reduced by Ch$219 million plus interests.

d) AES Gener S.A. and Electroandina S.A. are parties to an agreement under which the latter agreed to unload, manage and store coal in its facilities at the Tocopilla seaport. The coal unloaded by Electroandina is used by Norgener S.A. to generate
electricity in its power plant at Tocopilla.  Electroandina terminated the agreement, effective August 28, 2005, but offered to negotiate a new agreement. However, Electroandina S.A. has refused to enter into a new agreement under reasonable terms
and conditions, abusing of its monopoly power in the seaport services.  On May 18, 2005 AES Gener S.A. and Norgener S.A. filed a lawsuit against Electroandina S.A. before the Chilean Free Competition Court where both claim that (i) Electroandina
S.A. has a monopoly in the market for the unloading, management and storage of coal at Tocopilla, holding indeed an essential facility; (ii) Electroandina has abused in several ways of its monopoly in that market in order to obtain undue profits in
the seaport business as well as in the electricity business in the SING (in which it is vertically integrated and holds a market share of 53%).  AES Gener S.A. and Norgener S.A. request from the Free Competition Court an order against Electroandina
S.A. commanding it (a) to refrain from demanding tariff

increases and other conditions (i) that are not supported by cost increases or service improvements, (ii) that are not related to the effective use of its facilities or (iii) that are not directly related to the unloading, management and storage of
coal; and (b) to present an objective and non-discriminatory price system for the services provided based upon its long-term marginal costs. It is only requested that the court sanctions Electroandina with a fine up to US$12 million.  AES Gener S.A.
and Norgener S.A. separately requested from the Court an interim injunction imposing the continuation of the performance of the current agreement after August 28, 2005 and until a final decision is reached by the Court. On May 19, 2005, the Free Competition Court ordered Electroandina S.A. to respond to the lawsuit until June 22,2005
and to the interim measure request before June 13, 2005.

e) In relation to Bankers Trust International (Delaware)
Inc. vs. AES Gener and Ralph Wilkerson contingency; on June 6, 2005
the parties reached a mutual release and settlement agreement where the
Plaintiff filed a discontinuance of action before the Alberta Courts. (See Note 26 1) c.3)

f) On June 8, 2005, AES Gener isued a parent guarantee in favor of Siemens in order to
guarantee the outstanding payment obligations under the inspection spare parts supply
agreement between TermoAndes and Siemens entered into in November 2003. The
outstanding balance under the contract is approximately US$6 million.

37. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHILEAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

I. Reconciliation of Chilean GAAP to U.S. GAAP

The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Chilean GAAP, which varies in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Such differences involve methods for measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial
statements as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.  The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP for the Company are quantified in paragraph (x) and described below in the paragraphs preceding paragraph (x).

Under Chilean GAAP, financial statements are restated to reflect the full effects of the gain (loss) in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso on the financial position and results of operations of reporting entities. The method is based on a
model that enables calculation of net inflation gains or losses caused by monetary assets and liabilities exposed to changes in the purchasing power of local currency, by restating all non-monetary accounts in the financial statements. The model
prescribes that the historical cost of such accounts be restated for general price-level changes between the date of origin of each item and the year end.

Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are presented assuming that the U.S dollar is the functional currency of AES Gener. Accordingly, the effect of price-level changes is eliminated in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.

a) Interest Rate Hedge

The Company entered into forward treasury lock agreements in a notional amount of US$200 million (ThCh$111,480,000) commencing in December 2003 and an additional US$200 million (ThCh$111,480,000) in February 2004 to hedge against interest rate
variations. These agreements were executed in connection with an offering of senior notes which closed on March 22, 2004. As of December 31, 2003 the yield on the benchmark 10 year US treasury note decreased, which had resulted in a decrease in
value to the Company. Under Chilean GAAP, the cost associated with these transactions is amortized over the life of the notes. The company effectively locked in a 10 year treasury note rate in connection with issuance of the notes at an average rate
of 4.37% .

Under U.S. GAAP, as the treasury lock agreements do not qualify as a hedge, the mark-to-market adjustment was recognized immediately through the income statement at December 31, 2003 and the realized loss was recognized on the maturity
date of the agreements in March, 2004.

b) Functional and reporting currency:

Under Chilean GAAP, financial statements are adjusted for the effect of changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean currency during each period and presented in constant Chilean pesos (reporting currency), as mentioned in Note 1.
Transactions are recorded in Chilean pesos by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary
items at rates different from those at which they were originally recorded are recognized in the income statement of the period. In accordance with Technical Bulletin 64 (BT64), the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that
operate in countries exposed to significant risks, and are not considered to be an extension of the parent companys operations, must be remeasured into U.S. dollars. The Company has remeasured its foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars under
this requirement as follows:

- Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year end rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the local currency.

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

- All non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholders equity are translated at historical rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the local currency.
- Income and expense accounts are translated at average rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and local currency.
- The effects of any exchange rate fluctuations are included in the results of operations for the period.

Under BT 64, the investment in a foreign subsidiary is price-level restated, the effects of which are reflected in income, while the effects of the foreign exchange gain or loss between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar are reflected in equity
in the account Cumulative Translation Adjustment; as the foreign investment itself is measured in U.S. dollars.

Under U.S. GAAP, a definition of the functional currency is required, which may differ from the reporting currency. Upon the acquisition of the Company by AES Corporation (AES) in 2000, management determined the U.S. dollar as the Companys
functional currency in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52.

Accordingly, the Company remeasured into U.S. dollars the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and translated these financial statements into the reporting currency, the Chilean peso, by
applying the procedures specified in SFAS No. 52.

The objective of the remeasurement process is to produce the same results that would have been reported if the accounting records had been kept in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the balance sheet date
(current) exchange rate. Non-monetary assets are recorded at their historical exchange rate at the time of purchase. Past transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured at the exchange rates in effect when the transactions
occurred. Revenues and expenses are remeasured on a monthly basis at the average rates of exchange in effect during the period, except for consumption of non-monetary assets, which are remeasured at the rates of exchange in effect when the
respective assets were acquired. Transaction gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities arising from the remeasurement are included in the determination of net income (loss) in the period such gains and losses arise.

The amounts obtained from the remeasurement process referred to above are translated into Chilean pesos following the provisions of SFAS No. 52. Assets and liabilities are translated at the current selling exchange rate of Chilean pesos $718.61,
$593.8 and $557.4 to US$1.00 as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses reported in the income statement are translated at the exchange rate existing at the time of each transaction or, if appropriate,
at the monthly average exchange rate during the period. Translation effects of exchange rate changes are included as a cumulative translation adjustment in shareholders' equity.

c) Revaluation of property, plant and equipment (including revaluation on fixed assets retired during the year):

Under Chilean GAAP, certain property, plant and equipment are reported in the financial statements at amounts determined in accordance with a technical revaluation performed in 1986, as discussed in Note 8b). The difference between the book value
at the technical revaluation date and the revalued amount is included in equity as a surplus, and is subject to adjustments for price-level restatement and depreciation.

Under U.S. GAAP, property, plant and equipment is carried at historical cost. The effects of the reversal of this revaluation, as well as of the related accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense for the periods presented are shown in
paragraph (x) below.

d) Deferred income taxes:

Under Chilean GAAP, on January 1, 2000, the Company recorded income taxes in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 60 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, recognizing, using the liability method, the deferred tax effects of temporary
differences between the financial and tax values of assets and liabilities. Upon adoption, a contra asset or liability (complementary accounts) was recorded, offsetting the effects of the deferred tax assets and liabilities not recorded
prior to January 1, 2000, the adoption date of Technical Bulletin No. 60. The complementary accounts are amortized to income over

Table of Contents


AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

the estimated average reversal periods corresponding to the underlying temporary differences to which the deferred tax asset or liability relates.

Under U.S. GAAP, the accounting is similar. However, at the adoption date of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the change in accounting principle was immediately recorded through the income statement as the Cumulative Effect of a
Change in Accounting Principle. Therefore, in U.S. GAAP, the amortization of the complementary accounts created under Chilean GAAP is reversed.

e) Intangibles:

Under Chilean GAAP, the Companys balance sheets include net intangible assets relating to the transfer of revalued assets from the Companys predecessor, Compañía Chilena de Distribución Eléctrica S.A., at the
time of the Companys formation. Under U.S. GAAP, such intangible assets would have been recorded at the predecessors historical cost before technical revaluation. The effects of adjusting the Companys equity (for the intangible
asset net of accumulated amortization, inclusive of the accumulated price-level restatement) and the Companys income statement (for the annual amortization charge) are included under paragraph (x) below.

f) Staff severance indemnities:

Pursuant to agreements between the Company and its employees, the Company has committed to provide a lump sum payment to each employee with more than five years of service at the end of his or her employment. Under Chilean GAAP, the Company records
the present value of the liability, calculated based on total expected service, current salary levels of all employees covered by such agreements with more than five years of service, and a discount rate of 8%. Under U.S. GAAP, this arrangement is
considered to be a pension plan, and the liability should be measured by projecting future expected severance payments using an assumed salary progression rate and discounting the resulting amounts to their present value. In practice, the Company
believes that the salary progression rate will not differ significantly from the general inflation rate. The application of U.S. GAAP would not have produced results materially different from the acceptable method under Chilean GAAP. As a result,
the effects of these differences have not been included in paragraph (x) below.

However, as of January 1, 2002, the Company changed the interest rate used for determining the present value of the provisions for the staff severance indemnities, reducing it from 10% to 8%. The effect of this change at the beginning of 2002
amounted to ThCh$90,913 (ThUS$163), which was recorded as a deferred asset to be amortized over 10 years. Under U.S. GAAP, the effect of reducing the discount rate to 8% has been charged to income in the year ended December 31, 2002. In the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the difference between U.S. GAAP and Chilean GAAP resulted from the reversal of the amortization of the deferred asset recorded under Chilean GAAP.

g) Capitalized interest:

Under Chilean GAAP, all interest on debt associated with a construction project is capitalized, including interest, price-level restatement and, with respect to foreign currency, borrowings, and transaction gains and losses. Interest is capitalized
based on the Companys weighted average interest rate on long term debt, or if applicable, the interest rate related to specific borrowings. Interest capitalization ends when the property or equipment is ready for service or its intended use.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company reverses those amounts capitalized related to foreign currency exchange gains and losses and the related monetary gain on foreign currency borrowings for construction costs for purposes of reconciling to U.S. GAAP.

Additionally, under U.S. GAAP, the capitalization of interest on qualifying assets under construction is required, regardless of whether interest is associated with debt directly related to a project. The effect of the capitalization and the
related depreciation expense of this difference are included in paragraph (x) below.

h) Goodwill and negative goodwill:

Under Chilean GAAP, goodwill is amortized over a maximum of twenty years.

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

Under U.S GAAP, the Company applies SFAS N°142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  SFAS N°142 addresses the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to a business acquisition. SFAS N°142 requires
that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives and that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but rather tested, at least annually, for impairment. There
was no impairment loss recognized as of this period. The reversal of the amortization of goodwill generated in Chilean GAAP in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 has been included in paragraph (x) below.

i) Investments in related companies (difference between cost and equity method):

The Company has a series of investments in which it owns an interest of less than 20% (Gasoducto GasAndes S.A., Gasoducto GasAndes (Argentina) S.A. and CDEC-SIC Ltda.). Under Chilean GAAP, prior to January 1, 2004, investments in other companies
ranging from 10% to 50% of common stock were recorded under the equity method of accounting. Effective January 1, 2004, SVS issued of the Circular N°1,697, dated December 30, 2003  which requires companies to change the accounting treatment for
investments in other companies equal to 10% to 20% ownership by recording such investments at acquisition cost restated for price-level changes or foreign currency. The December 31, 2003 book value of these investments, which includes equity method
goodwill (the excess of purchase price over the value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed), and the share of income previously recorded for 10% to 20% investments when they were treated as equity-method investees is considered as their new
cost basis.

Under U.S. GAAP, these investments would generally be accounted for at cost less any non-temporary impairment in value, as it presumed that the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence, if the investor owns 20% to 50% of the
voting common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, the reversal of the equity-method of accounting for the results of investments between 10% and 20% is reversed. For the year ended December 31, 2004, there is no difference between
Chile and US GAAP as to percentages for which significant influence is assumed.

Energen S.A., which is 99,99% owned by Gener is not consolidated because the amount of total assets, total liabilities and results of operations are immaterial.

j) Foreign exchange contracts not effective as hedges:

As of December 31, 1993, the Company held foreign exchange contracts to transfer its Yen-denominated construction commitments to U.S. dollars. Under Chilean GAAP, the Company accounted for these contracts as ineffective hedges and recorded them at
the lower of cost or market. During 1994, these contracts were settled, resulting in a loss that was deferred and is being amortized over the period that the related construction costs are depreciated. For U.S. GAAP purposes, foreign exchange
contracts would have been marked-to-market through earnings. The difference reflects the reversal of amortization recorded under Chilean GAAP for U.S. GAAP purposes. The effects of the above differences are included under paragraph (x) below.

k) Effect of U.S. GAAP adjustments in related companies accounted for under the equity method:

The principal U.S. GAAP adjustments affecting the Companys equity-method investees are:

|i)   | Capitalization of interest cost that is not capitalized under Chilean GAAP.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    
|ii)  | Accounting for deferred tax assets and liabilities.                        
|    
|iii) | The deferred tax effects of the U.S. GAAP adjustments.                     
|    
|iv)  | Accounting for forward exchange contracts.                                 
|    
|v)   | Accounting for amortization of deferred costs of a prepaid loan.           
|    
|vi)  | Amortization of goodwill.                                                  
|

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

The effect of these differences is included under paragraph (x) below.

l) Complementary pension plan and post-retirement benefits:

Pension and post-retirement benefits are recorded under Chilean GAAP in a comparable manner to U.S. GAAP. However, under Chilean GAAP, the Company capitalizes unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, whereas under U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted a
policy to recognize actuarial gains and losses immediately in the income statement. Additionally, under Chilean GAAP, additional minimum liabilities, if any, are recorded as charges in the income statement while under U.S. GAAP, an additional
liability that exceeds unrecognized prior service cost is reported in other comprehensive income. Lastly, as of January 1, 2002, the Company changed the interest rate used for determining the present value of the provisions for its supplementary
pension benefit plan, reducing it from 10% to 8%. The effect of this change at the beginning of 2002 amounted to ThCh$599,764 (ThUS$1,076), which was recorded as a deferred asset to be amortized over 10 years. Under U.S. GAAP, the effect of reducing
the nominal discount rate to 8% has been charged to income in the year ended December 31, 2002. In the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the reversal of the amortization of the deferred asset recorded under Chilean GAAP results in an
additional difference.

m) Recognition of a loss from an analysis of the impairment of long-lived assets:

Under Chilean GAAP, long-lived assets are subject to impairment tests when circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. In determining whether impairment exists, the Company evaluates whether the operating revenue of the entity will be
sufficient to cover its costs including depreciation (Technical Bulletin No. 33). The entitys revenues are estimated based on its undiscounted cash flows.

Under U.S. GAAP, long-lived assets are also subject to periodic impairment tests when circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. In determining whether impairment exists, however, the Company groups its assets at the lowest level of
identifiable cash flows. If an assets (or asset groups) carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows that are expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is generally measured
based on discounted cash flows.

In 2001, a U.S. GAAP impairment test was performed on the Companys TermoAndes generation plant and transmission line, which showed that the Chilean side of the transmission line owned by Gener was impaired. Accordingly, an impairment loss was
recorded at December 31, 2001 under U.S. GAAP for this asset. The depreciation reversal associated with this asset is shown in note (x) below.

An impairment loss was also recorded in 2001 under U.S. GAAP in connection with the investments in Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A., Ecogener S.A. and Compañía Carbones del Cesar Ltda. No loss was recorded under Chilean GAAP for
Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A. or Ecogener S.A. until they were sold in 2002. Additionally, an impairment loss was not recorded for Compañía Carbones del Cesar Ltda. (See paragraph (u)) under Chilean GAAP until 2002 when the Company
received an offer form a third party indicating that such an impairment occurred. Accordingly, the loss that was recorded in 2002 for Chilean GAAP is reversed in the 2002 reconciliation of net income to U.S. GAAP.

As of December 31, 2004 an impairment test was performed under U.S. GAAP by the company and based on he testing the company concluded that the asset was not impaired.

n) Contingent gain

In December 1999, AES Gener filed a lawsuit against Hidroeléctrica Guardia Vieja S.A. and Hidroeléctrica Aconcagua S.A. for their alleged contractual performance default related to an energy and capacity sales contract. On December
14, 2001, the arbitrator accepted the Companys claims and the defendants were ordered to fulfill the contract. Under Chilean GAAP, based on the arbitrators acceptance of the lawsuit filed by AES Gener, the Company recorded in income in
2001 a portion of the gain contingency equal to ThCh$3,135,343 (ThUS$5,625). The Company recorded only a portion of the gain contingency, given that on January 7, 2002, the defendants filed an appeal that is to be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
Under U.S. GAAP, this gain contingency would not be recorded until it is realized, therefore was reversed in year 2001.

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

On December 31, 2004, under Chilean GAAP the company has re-evaluated the recoverability of this receivable and has recorded a provision against the contingency recorded in 2001. Therefore, under US GAAP an adjustment was recorded to reverse the
effect of the Chilean GAAP provision in 2004.

The effect of this difference is included in paragraph (x) below.

o) Reclassification of account receivable from main shareholder

On February 28, 2001, AES Gener and Inversiones Cachagua Ltda. signed a contract for an intercompany mercantile current account, the balance of which was in U.S. dollars and, accrued interest every 30 days at LIBOR plus a spread, with a final
maturity date on February 28, 2004.

AES Gener transferred ThCh$309,647,465 (ThUS$555,521) to Inversiones Cachagua Ltda. in the above mentioned mercantile current account. Such amount came from proceeds of the sale of investments in Argentina and in Chile. According to a board of
directors agreement dated July 30, 2001, these funds were transferred to the principal shareholder and charged to the mercantile current account instead of distributing them as interim dividends, as there was no certainty that the Company
would be able to generate the profits needed to cover such interim dividends. This intercompany loan including accrued interest was fully paid in February 2004.

Under Chilean GAAP, the mercantile account current accounts receivable balance was classified as an asset, as it was subject to indexation, accrued interest and had a maturity date, however, under U.S. GAAP, it was shown as a deduction from
shareholders equity as a Note Receivable from Shareholder. In addition, interest and exchange differences accrued each year associated with this note have been reclassified from income to shareholders equity, net of the
payments of ThCh$29,379,499 (ThUS$52,708) and ThCh$2,037,448 (ThUS$3,655) received in 2003 and 2004 respectively.
This effect is included in paragraph (x) below.

p) Interest rate swap

In 1998, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, whereby it received variable interest payments and paid fixed interest payments in order to convert variable rate debt into fixed rate debt. Under Chilean GAAP the fair value of the interest
rate swap was determined and recorded, as well as the interest expense, which was recorded as incurred. Additionally, the assets and liabilities related to the interest rate swap are presented on a net basis in other current assets.

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including embedded derivatives, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value. Depending on the documented
designation of a derivative instrument, any change in fair value is recognized either in income or shareholders equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI)).

The Company has designated its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, and accordingly has recognized changes in its fair value in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on cash flow hedge transactions reported in other comprehensive income,
and the transition adjustment reported by the Company as a cumulative effect type adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income, are reclassified to earnings in the same period that the related cash flows of the hedged transaction affect
earnings.

SFAS No. 133 also prescribes requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships and ongoing retrospective and prospective assessments of effectiveness in order to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedge accounting is considered to
be appropriate if the assessment of hedge effectiveness indicates that the change in fair value of the designated hedging instrument is 80% to 125% effective at offsetting the change in fair value due to the hedged risk of the hedged item or
transaction.  Measurements of amounts to be recorded in income due to ineffectiveness of hedges are based on the dollar-offset method as required by SFAS No. 133.

As of December 31, 2004 the restructuring of the TermoAndes and InterAndes debt was completed, resulting in termination of the notes and interest rate swaps covering the debt.

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

The effects of the differences in the method of recording this cash flow hedge for December 31, 2003 and 2004 are included in paragraph (x) below.

q) Forward exchange contracts

The Company has forward exchange contracts between the U.S. dollar and the Chilean peso. Under Chilean GAAP, these forward exchange contracts are recorded at fair value with the changes in the fair value recorded as unrealized gains and losses in
the balance sheet. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions (future sales of energy to regulated customers price-adjusted every six months by the fluctuation in the U.S. dollar exchange rate during that same
period, while most of the energy costs are fixed in U.S. dollars). The initial premium or discount on these contracts is deferred and amortized over the life of the contract.

For year 2003 under U.S. GAAP, these forward exchange contracts are also valued at fair value, with the initial premium or discount deferred and amortized over the life of the contract. However, as the Companys formal documentation at the
inception of the hedge did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized through the income statement.

For year 2004 these forward exchange contracts qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and the changes in the fair value of theses derivatives are recognized in equity in Other Comprehensive Income, net of the related tax effects.

r) Minimum dividend

As required by the Chilean Corporations Law, unless otherwise decided by the unanimous vote of the holders of issued and paid-in shares, a Company must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of the Companys net income
for each year as determined in accordance with Chilean GAAP, unless and except to the extent the Company has unabsorbed prior year losses. Since the payment of the 30% dividend from each years income is a legal requirement in Chile, a
provision has been made in the accompanying U.S. GAAP reconciliation in paragraph (x) below to recognize the corresponding decrease in shareholders equity as of December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2004 the company did not recognize the
decrease in equity because the interim dividend payments were higher than the minimum required.

s) Asset retirement obligation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, effective January 1, 2003. Under SFAS No. 143, entities are required to record the fair value of a legal liability for an asset retirement obligation
(ARO) in the period in which it is incurred. When a new liability is recorded, the entity capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present
value each period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. At retirement, an entity settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss.

With the adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company recorded an ARO asset of ThCh$144,931, net of accumulated amortization of ThCh$91,484, and a deferred tax asset of ThCh$42,857. The net amount initially recognized as a result of applying SFAS No. 143
was ThCh$209,246, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The remaining difference of ThCh$14,454 results from the 2003 accretion of the ARO liability and depreciation of the ARO asset, which was recorded
within costs of goods sold.

The carrying amount of asset retirement obligation was ThCh$359,230 (ThUS$644) and ThCh$368,122 (ThUS$660) at December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively. As of December 31, 2004 the change related to interest accretion is for ThCh$8,892 (ThUS$16).

t) Long term compensation

In 2003 and 2004, the AES Corporation, the majority shareholder of AES Gener, granted to its corporate and subsidiaries employees, two Long Term Compensation Awards (the Awards), which consist of a combination of stock options,
restricted stock and performance units. No employees of AES Gener were granted long term compensation under these plans prior to January 1, 2003. Awards under these plans generally vest over two to three years.

AES GENER S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004, except as indicated)

Under Chilean GAAP, the compensation expense associated with these Awards would be evaluated as a contingency. Therefore, a liability for the performance units was established based on the proportional completion of the target requirements
delineated by the parent over a three year period. Performance units have a face value of US$1 per unit and establish Cumulative Cash Value Added targets based on certain factors associated with the operating results of the Company. No obligation
was recorded for the stock options or restricted stock.

Under U.S. GAAP, stock options and restricted stock are accounted for under SFAS N°123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based compensationTransition and Disclosure.
Compensation expense is measured using the fair value method for stock options and the fair value of the stock for restricted stock at the date of the grant. In its separate financial statements, the Company recorded deferred stock-based
compensation as a separate component of shareholders equity (deficiency), which is amortized over the related vesting period, and the contribution from the parent. The number of stock options granted to AES Geners employees as of

December 31, 2003 and the related compensation expense were de minimis, thus no amount has been recorded nor reported for these benefits in the Companys prior years financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2004,
AES Geners compensation expense was ThCh$297,131 (ThUS$533).

In addition to the stock-based compensation above, the Awards include performance units (PUs). PUs have a face value of USD 1 per unit and are based upon a Cumulative Cash Value Added (CVA) target calculation for the three year period.
The Company records the liability for PUs based on SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The amount recorded for U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2004 is ThCh$288,263 (ThUS$517), equivalent to Chilean GAAP.  No amount was significant to
record in Chile GAAP or U.S. GAAP for PUs at December 31, 2003.

This difference is shown in Note (x) below.

u) Discontinued operations

In 2001, the Company decided to divest the following subsidiaries: Oilgener Inc., Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A, Ecogener S.A., and Carbones del Cesar, for which an impairment loss was recognized under U.S. GAAP as explained in paragraph (m) above.
However, these subsidiaries did not qualify as "discontinued operations" under APB 30. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 changed the definition of "discontinued operations" to include operations of a "component" of an entity as defined
in conjunction with SFAS No. 131 and SFAS No. 144, except for Carbones del Cesar, which was considered not material.

Oilgener Inc., Explotaciones Sanitarias S.A, and Ecogener S.A. were sold in 2002. In August 2004, Carbones del Cesar was sold. The gain on this sale is shown in note 30.

v) Reversal of Gain in Escondida Settlement

On July 1, 2004, AES Gener and Norgener received compensation of US$ 40 million, as part of the settlement from Escondida composed of three payments:  1) US$ 25 million, which were received by Norgener as a compensation for the reduction in energy
price and modification of the PPAs, 2) US$ 10 million to AES Gener for the prior use of the transmission facilities, property of AES Gener, 3) US$ 5 million to AES Gener as remuneration for the right to connect Escondidas facilities to the
substation Nueva Zaldivar, transmission asset, until the expiration of Norgeners PPA agreements in 2015.

For Chilean GAAP US$ 10 million of Gener portion were recognized as income, and the rest was deferred over the terms of the agreements.

Under U.S. GAAP, the US$40 million was deferred and is being recognized in income over the term of 2004 through 2015 (the term of the agreement) based on the weighted average capacity provided to Escondida.

The effect of this difference is shown in note (x) below.

w)Deferred Cost TermoAndes  InterAndes Debt

Under Chilean GAAP, debt issuance costs incurred in modifications to the original debt contract were treated as part of the original debt issuance and, therefore, the costs associated with the original debt and those
incurred to enter into the new modified contract are amortized over the remaining life of the debt. Under U.S. GAAP, certain debt modifications as defined under EIFT 96-19, in an other than troubled debt restructuring, may qualify as an
extinguishment of debt rather than as debt modification. The EITF consensus states that if the change between the present value of cash flows under the modified terms and the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original terms is less
than 10%, the modification should be recognized as a debt modification rather than an extinguishment of debt and a new interest rate has to be determined based on the carrying amount of the original debt and the revised cash flows considering any
amounts paid by the debtor to the creditor.

On April 2004, TermoAndes and InterAndes debt refinancing was completed and according to the EITF 96-19, such modification is not substantially different from the terms of the original debt, therefore, only bank fees
were deferred as interest cost.

x) Effects of conforming to U.S. GAAP:

The adjustments to reported net income required to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are as follows:

2) Diluted earnings per share

There was no conversion of bonds to stock as of December 31, 2003 (the calculation for December 31, 2004 has not been included as the Companys convertible bonds were completely redeemed on May 31, 2004). Therefore, diluted earnings per share
are equal to the basic earnings per share as of December 31, 2003 and 2004.

c) Segment information:

1. Information by business segments

Effective March 2004, we have modified the definition of operating segments since the filing of our last annual report (Form 20-F/A for the year ended December 31, 2003, which was filed on March 18, 2004), as we have changed the structure of its
internal organization in a manner that causes the composition of its reportable segment to change.  This redefinition recognizes that within Chile, we sell electric generation in two separated markets with distinct economic characteristics, the SIC
and the SING. As a result, given that our facilities located in Argentina, are utilized only to supply electricity to Chiles SING market, we have re-designated the generation associated with these facilities to the SING operating
segment.  Similarly, we have separated the sales made by AES Gener in Chile between the two markets.  The definition for the sales made by Chivor, our only facility located in Colombia, continue to be identified as the Colombia operating
segment. The Other operating segment is also unchanged from our previous report; this segment consists of our businesses in Chile which are not related to the generation of electricity, such as fuel sales.

f) Disclosure regarding the fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments:

In accordance with SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", information is provided about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

For the purposes of SFAS No. 107, the estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

There are certain limitations inherent in the fair value data since while the data represents management's best estimates, the data is subjective, involving significant estimates regarding current economic and market conditions. The methods and
assumptions used to estimate the fair values are as follows:

For cash, short term deposits and investments, and current receivables and payables, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

For interest earning assets and short-term interest bearing assets and liabilities, which are contracted at variable interest rates, the book value is considered to be equivalent to their fair value.

For financial instruments where an active secondary market exists, the fair value is determined by reference to the quoted market price at the respective balance sheet date.

For interest earning assets with an original maturity of more than one year, the fair values is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows at the current market origination rates for financial instruments with similar terms.

For the Company's long term fixed rate debt, the contractual cash flows were discounted at prevailing interest rates at the balance sheet dates.

|(1) | AES Gener enters into forward exchange swaps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contract agreements and treasury lock agreements in order to hedge its exposure to non-U.S. dollar foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations related to
long term bank liabilities, forecast transactions for financial restructuring, and bonds payable.    The Company also from time to time enters into foreign currency exchange contracts to transfer its exposure in U.S. dollars to an exposure in UF. The Company's accounting policy for such contracts is described in Note 1.

h) Employee Benefit Plans

Gener and its subsidiaries sponsor various benefit plans for its current and retired employees. A description of such benefits is as follows:

I. Staff Severance Indemnities

Pursuant to agreements between the Company and its active employees, the Company has committed to provide a lump sum payment to each employee with more than five years of service, at the end of his or her employment, based upon total years of
service.

The provision for staff severance indemnities is calculated in accordance with the policy set forth in note 1(q), using the current salary levels and expected remaining years of service of all employees covered under the agreement and an assumed
discount rate of 8%.

The present value of the liability for staff severance indemnity as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 was ThCh$3,775,245 (ThUS$6,773) and ThCh$4,558,768 (ThUS$8,179), respectively. Amounts charged to income related to staff severance indemnities were
ThCh$1,179,967 (ThUS$2,117), ThCh$273,206 (ThUS$490) and ThCh$1,380,481 (ThUS$2,477) for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Payments for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were ThCh$874,238 (ThUS$1,568),
ThCh$120,915 (ThUS$217) and ThCh$487,033 (ThUS$874), respectively.

II. Other Benefits for Retired Personnel

Certain benefits are provided only to retired personnel. These benefits include: electric service rate subsidies, additional medical insurance and supplementary pension benefits. No active employees are entitled to these benefits when they retire.
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company paid ThCh$319,846 (ThUS$574) , ThCh$715,749 (ThUS$1,284) and ThCh$693,561 (ThUS$1,244), respectively.

i) Electrical service rate

This benefit subsidizes a portion of the electric service payment that distribution companies Chilectra and Chilquinta charge retired employees. The electric rate subsidies result in the eligible retired employees paying approximately 30% of their
total monthly electricity costs, with AES Gener paying the difference.

ii) Medical benefits

This benefit provides supplementary health insurance and continues in the event of death of the retiree, in favor of the surviving spouse. It is measured assuming a trend for future medical costs.

iii) Supplementary pension benefits

Retired employees receive a monthly benefit designed to cover a portion, up to a maximum of 50%, of the difference between their salary at the point of retirement and the theoretical pension that would have been received had the employee reached
the legal retirement age of the Institución de Previsión Social (Institute of Social Welfare). This benefit expires at the time of death of the retiree.

Under U.S. GAAP, pension and other post-retirement employee benefits have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106, respectively. The Companys policy is to recognize actuarial gains and losses immediately in the
income statement. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its employee benefit plans. The Companys employee benefit plans are unfunded. The accumulated benefit obligation was equal to the projected benefit at December 31, 2003 and
2004. In 2005, the Company expects to contribute ThCh$347,087 (ThUS$623) and ThCh$418,842 (ThUS$751) to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans, respectively.

The assumption in the trend rate for medical benefits has a significant effect on the amounts reported for the medical benefit plan.

For measurement purposes, a 3% trend cost rate was assumed to measure the expected cost of Electrical and Health Care benefits.

The effect of a one-percentage-point increase and the effect of a one-percentage-point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rates on the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement health care
benefit costs and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for health care benefits, would be the following;

Pension Retirement BenefitsChivor

In addition to the benefits discussed above, Colombian law requires that benefits be paid to all retired employees who have reached certain age and length of service requirements. In accordance with Law No. 100 of 1993, beginning on April 1, 1994,
Chivor has funded its obligation through payments made to the Instituto de Seguros Sociales ("Colombian Institute of Social Security") and other private pension funds. For retirees not covered by the provisions of Law No. 100, (10 in 1998 and
zero in 1997), Chivor obtains an actuarial report each year updating the value of its pension obligation. During 2003, the plan was amended due to the enactment of Law No. 797. The law established a new system to determine the amount of the pension
recognized by the Colombian Institute of Social Security. This amendment generated unrecognized prior service cost of ThCh$210,650 (ThUS$378). The amortization of the unrecognized prior service cost is based on the average remaining service life of
active participants. Benefits covered in this reserve amount include monthly pension benefits, surviving-spouse pension benefits, Christmas bonuses and the additional one-month pension benefit paid to retirees in June of each year. The Company uses
a December 31 measurement date for its employee benefit plan. The plan is unfunded. The accumulated benefit obligation was ThCh$2,331,806 (ThUS$4,183) and ThCh$2,570,302 (ThUS$4,611) at December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The Company expects
to contribute ThCh$274,520 (ThUS$493) to its pension plan in 2005. The Company's policy is to recognize actuarial gains and losses immediately in the income statement. The following information summarizes Chivor's pension plan:

i) Restrictions on payment of dividends

Under certain of the Company's credit agreements, restrictions exist on the ability of its subsidiaries to transfer funds to AES Gener through intercompany loans, advances, or cash dividends. The nature and amounts of these restrictions are
disclosed in note 26.

j) Pledges granted

Gener Argentina S.A. has pledged to Banco Frances Uruguay S.A., its shares in InterAndes and TermoAndes, to guarantee all of the existing financing contracts in these companies. In addition, Energy Trade and Finance Corporation has placed in trust
its shares in Chivor, for the purpose of guaranteeing the contractual obligations of Chivor with respect to the Bank of America NT & S.A. credit agreement. The underlying assets are not reported separately in the statement of financial position
because the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge the collateral held under the pledges.

The carrying amounts of assets pledged as collateral is as follows:

|                  |  |               |  |              
|----------------- |  | ------------- |  | -------------

|                  |  | Participation |  | subsidiary   
|                  |  | 2004          |  | ThCh$        
|                  |  |               |  |              
|InterAndes S.A    |  | 100%          |  | 28,877,417   
|TermoAndes S.A    |  | 100%          |  | 149,669,905  
|Chivor S.A. E.S.P |  | 99.98%        |  | 188,790,470  

In addition to the above assets, as of December 31, 2004, our subsidiary Norgener had outstanding debt with Banco de Chile of ThCh$16,164,600 (ThUS$29,000), which was secured by certain fixed assets worth ThCh$55,597,125 (ThUS$96,744).

k) Derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. All derivative instruments held or issued by the Company are economic hedges of existing or
anticipated financial transactions. No derivatives are utilized for speculative purposes. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to exchange variable rate interest payment obligations for fixed rate obligations without the
exchange of the underlying principal amounts in order to manage interest rate exposures. As of December 31, 2003, AES Gener had swap agreements outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of ThCh$103,543,707 (ThUS$ 170,122) that expires in various
amounts through September 28, 2007. The swap agreements have a fixed interest rate of 6.36 %.  These interest rate swap agreements were also terminated in April 2004. On April 16, 2004, AES Gener S.A. repaid the outstanding debt (notes) of

TermoAndes and InterAndes, through the payment of US$ 62 million and a new credit agreement for US$ 93.4 million which was extended to AES Gener S.A. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding balance of this loan was US$ 77 million.

In connection with the offering of AES Gener senior notes, the Company entered into treasury lock agreements to lock in the underlying interest rate for the senior notes to be issued pursuant to its financial restructuring plan. As of December 31,
2003, the notional amount of these agreements was ThCh$121,729,000 (ThUS$200,000). The treasury lock agreements had an average fixed interest rate of 4.37 %. On March 2004 AES Gener issued and placed US$400 million bonds in The U.S., as of December
31, 2004 the treasury lock result has been recorded as Other Long Term Assets.

The Company has entered into forward exchange swap agreements to hedge its revenues. The forward exchange swap agreements mature from January 2005 to May 2005. The notional amounts were ThCh$43,559,870(ThUS$78,148) at December 31, 2004.

The Company has entered into foreign currency swap agreements to hedge firm foreign currency commitments. The currency swap agreements mature from January 2005 to March 2005. The notional amounts were ThCh$6,325,380(ThUS$11,348) at December 31,
2004. The currency swaps have terms that match the hedged exposure. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash-flow hedges. The fair values of the swaps are recorded on the balance sheet, with changes in fair values included in other
comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of the hedge is recorded into income in current-period earnings. The treasury lock agreement has not been documented as hedges, and accordingly, changes in fair value are recognized in the income
statement.

Hedge ineffectiveness is measured using the dollar-offset method. During 2004 there was no hedge ineffectiveness. During 2003, hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges resulted in ThCh$1,463,586 (ThUS$2,626) being recognized in the other
non-operating expenses line in the consolidated financial statements. No portion of the derivative instruments gain or loss was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company did not reclassify any amounts to earnings for
forecasted transactions that did not occur.

At December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company expects to reclassify approximately ThCh$1,473,096 (ThUS$2,643) and ThCh$4,573,135 (ThUS$8,204) of loss on derivative instruments, net of deferred taxes of ThCh$515,583 (ThUS$925) and ThUS$777,433
(ThUS$1,395) from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next twelve months due to the actual fulfillment of forecasted transactions.

The net amount reclassified from other comprehensive income to earnings during 2004 is ThCh$1,608,684 (ThUS$2,886).

l) Asset Retirement Obligations:

The Company adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", effective January 1, 2003. Under SFAS No. 143, entities are required to record the fair value of a legal liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) in the
period in which it is incurred. When a new liability is recorded, the entity capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period and the
capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. At retirement, an entity settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss.

The Company evaluated its leased and owned assets. During this evaluation, the Company determined that it had legal obligations to return certain assets to their condition before the Company obtained ownership or use of the related asset. AES Gener
has recorded an asset retirement obligation for its legal liability to restore the land at its Laja, Constitución and Mostazal plants.

With the adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company recorded an ARO asset of ThCh$144,931, net of accumulated amortization of ThCh$91,484, and a deferred tax asset of ThCh$42,857. The net amount initially recognized as a result of applying SFAS No. 143
was ThCh$209,246, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

m) Long term Compensation Plans

In 2003 and 2004, AES corporation, the majority shareholder of AES Gener, granted to its corporate and

subsidiaries ́ employees, two long-term compensation awards (the "Awards"), which consist of a combination of stock options, restricted stock and performance units. No employees of AES Gener were granted long-term compensation under these plans
prior to January 1, 2004. Awards under these plans generally vest over two to three years.

RESTRICTED STOCK  AES Corporation issued restricted stock under various incentive stock option plans. Generally, under each plan, shares of restricted common stock with value equal to a stated percentage of
participants' base salary are initially awarded at the beginning of a three-year performance period, subject to adjustment to reflect the participants' actual base salary. The shares remain restricted and nontransferable throughout each three-year
performance period, vesting in one-third increments in each of the three years following the end of the performance period. At the end of a performance period, awards are subject to adjustment to reflect AES Corporations performance compared
to per companies. Final awards under the plans can range from zero up to 400% of the initial awards. Vested shares are no longer restricted and may be held or sold by the participant. For U.S. GAAP, compensation expense of ThCh$112,074 (US$201,065)
for December 31, 2004 was measured by the market value of the common stock at the balance sheet date and has been recognized. Compensation expense as of December 31, 2003 was not material. For year 2004, this adjustment is included as part of the
ThCh$297,131 (US$533,066) shown in the reconciliation.

STOCK OPTIONS  AES Corporation has granted its options to purchase shares of common stock during the year 2004 under three stock option plans. Under the terms of the plans, AES Corporation may issue options to
purchase shares of their common stock at a price equal to 100% of the market price at the date the option is granted. Generally, stock options issued under this plan become exercisable by employees in as little as one year (100% in one year), or as
many as four years (25% each year). At December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, 16,944,935 and 15,332,033 shares were remaining for award under the plans. The maximum term of the options granted is 10 years.

The weighted average fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant primarily using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

|                          |  |                         |  |

|Dividend yield            |  | -                       |  | -    

Using theses assumptions and an expected option life of approximately 10 years, the weighted average fair value of each stock option granted was $2.53 and $7.72 for the period ended December 31, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2004,
respectively.

Using the Black - Scholes option pricing model, the Company has arrived at a fair value of US$2.53 and US$7.72 for the

years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. As mentioned previously, no adjustment was made for this stock-based compensation in the year ended December 31, 2003 due to its de minimis value. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the
compensation expense recorded was ThCh$185,057 (US$332,000).

PERFORMANCE UNITS  The Performance Units (PUs) have a face value of USD 1 per unit and are based upon a Cumulative Cash Value Added (CVA) target calculation for the three year period. The Company records the liability for PUs based
on SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The amount recorded for US GAAP as of December 31, 2004 is ThCh$288,263 (US$517,156).  For Chilean GAAP, as of December 31, 2004 the compensation expense has also been recorded.

n)Recently issued pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), that requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on
their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123R is effective for the Company on January 1, 2006. Retroactive application of the requirements of SFAS No. 123R to the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the
effective date would be permitted. The Company currently records stock compensation expense based on the fair value method and therefore does not believe that the pronouncement will have an effect on its financial condition, statement of operations
and cash flow.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions, provided an exception to its basic
measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. Under APB Opinion No. 29, an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset was based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. SFAS No. 153
eliminates this exception and replaces it with an exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective prospectively for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal years beginning
January 1, 2006 for the Company.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151), to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and
wasted material (spoilage) relating to inventory pricing. SFAS No. 151 requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" and requires that the allocation of fixed
production overheads to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of this pronouncement to determine the effects on its financial condition, statements of operations, and cash flows.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," which clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," as a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company.
FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.

In May 2005 the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and
FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in
accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions,
those provisions should be followed.

Schedule I

1) PRESENTATION

Rule 4-08 of the Security and Exchange Commission requires disclosure restricted net assets of consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries. For purposes of this disclosure restricted net asset shall mean that amount of net assets reflected
in a business balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 which may not be transferred to the parent company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends by the subsidiary without the consent of a third party.

Although some of Gener Subsidiaries have restrictions to distribute dividends to Gener (Norgener and ESSA), under the indenture of its bonds AES Gener may distribute dividends according section 1015, which states certain limitation on restricted
payments as follows. The company will not declare or pay any dividend if at the time of the payments:

|i)   | an event of default will have occurred.                                 
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
|ii)  | the company could not incur al least US$1 of additional indebtedness and
|iii) | the amount is limited depending on the financial results.               
|    

These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.
