ENDESA (NYSE: ELE): -- This investment will extend the useful life of the plant, improve health and safety conditions on the site and enhance the quality of the environment in its surroundings. -- The operation forms part of SNET's Plan for the Environment and Sustainable Development initiated several years ago and which has been reinforced since ENDESA acquired a stake in the French group. Since 2000 ENDESA (NYSE: ELE) subsidiary SNET has invested over Euro 5 million in a variety of measures designed to reduce noise pollution and particle emissions. The investment will extend the useful life of the plant, improve health and safety conditions on the site and enhance the quality of the environment in its surroundings. The measures, which will continue into 2006, are part of SNET's Plan for the Environment and Sustainable Development initiated several years ago and which has been reinforced since ENDESA acquired a stake in the French group. Measures implemented to reduce noise pollution In 2002 a campaign was carried out to measure noise levels in the areas surrounding the plant and a study made to determine the source of this noise. As a result of this study, the 2005-2006 Action Plan was drawn up, with a budget of Euro 1.2 million. The aim of the plan is to treat the main sources of noise pollution at the main and auxiliary power facilities. As part of this investment, on September 2, 2005 a silencer was installed on the roof of the boiler in a spectacular helicopter operation in order to reduce the noise produced by steam traps. Also, several measures have been implemented to reduce noise in the plant's groups, mainly by improving the performance of the silencers on the steam taps and replacing steam ejectors with steam pumps. Measures implemented to reduce dust particles Several measures have been implemented to treat dust particles so treating emissions at source. These include: In 2002 a device was installed to measure dust particles around the coal store - this device had an eight point scale. Thirteen industrial water cannons were also installed to ensure the surface irrigation of most of the coal store. Also, semi automatic sprinklers have been installed all along the plant's road network at a cost of Euro 202,000. The irrigation of the coal store will be fully automatic by the end of 2005. A new underground unloading bay for trucks with water sprinkling systems has also been installed in the coal store. This started operating on September 1, 2005, and cost Euro 2.2 million. Another hopper is to be constructed underneath the building completing the truck unloading facility by early 2006 at a cost of Euro 505,000. In April 2005 a high pressure sprinkler system was installed at a cost of Euro 90, 000 designed to prevent the dust produced by the bucket wheel excavator from rising. The vehicles and road network within the plant have also been thoroughly cleaned. Now all tanker trucks transporting power plant ash are washed before leaving the area. In January 2005 a facility was constructed to wash the wheels and chassis of all trucks leaving the coal store. Lastly, the frequency with which the road network is cleaned varies according to climate conditions with an annual cost of Euro 80,000. * This document may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding anticipated financial and operating results and statistics that are subject to risks and uncertainties as well as to material risks, changes and other factors which may be difficult to predict, including, without limitation, those factors described in the Documento de Registro de Acciones of Endesa filed within the Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores and in the Form 20-F of Endesa filed within the Securities and Exchange Commission, both for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
