ENDESA Signs an Agreement with Italian Group Merloni to Acquire 51% of MF Power, Owner of Three Wind Farms in Italy

ENDESA (NYSE:ELE):

   --  The three wind farms will have a total installed capacity of
        60 MW. Two of them will start operating before the first
        quarter of 2006.

   --  These new farms will allow ENDESA Italia to continue to pursue
        its development plan for renewable energies. The group expects
        to have installed capacity of 425 MW by 2009, almost half of
        which will be up and running in 2006.

   ENDESA and Merloni have signed an agreement under which ENDESA
will acquire 51% of the Italian company MF Power, owner of three wind
farms with a total capacity of 60 MW.
   Through this agreement, ENDESA will acquire 51% of the Italian
company which owns the Vallesacarda I (installed capacity of 15 MW),
Vallesacarda II (9 MW) and Scampitela (36 MW) wind farms.
   The Villesacarda I wind farm will start operating in November,
while the Vallesacarda II project is slated to come on-stream in the
first quarter of 2006, and the Scampitella farm is still at
pre-authorisation stage.
   These new farms will allow ENDESA Italia to continue to pursue its
development plan for renewable energies. The group expects to have
installed capacity of 425 MW by 2009, almost half of which will be
operating in 2006.
   This operation forms part of ENDESA's strategic plan and is a
further step in the implementation of development policy for Italy.
