   ENDESA (NYSE: ELE) has acquired 155 MW of interconnection capacity
between France and Italy, which corresponds to its specific capacity
needs. This will amount to 29% of the total capacity put out to tender
by the French grid operator (RTE) in November.
   This year, ENDESA has acquired 1,161 GWh of interconnection
capacity or 34% of the total energy capacity put out to tender since
this system came into force last January.
   The energy allotted to ENDESA during these ten months has allowed
the group to modulate and provide coverage for electricity demand in
the Italian market.
   The operations carried out between January and September have
allowed ENDESA to manage more than 1,161 GWh of energy, highlighting
its capacity to leverage its position in Italy and France (where it
operates through Snet and ENDESA Italia) to manage energy in
trans-national markets. The acquisitions also add value to ENDESA's
operations in these two countries, where it is leveraging profitable
growth opportunities with energy trading.
