                    DUKE ENERGY REITERATES ITS TENDER OFFERS
                       FOR ACQUIRING 60 PERCENT OF ENDESA


CHARLOTTE -- Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) has reiterated its tender offers to acquire
60 percent of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S. A. (Endesa) for 275 Chilean
pesos per share. As required by the process outlined last Friday by Chile's
Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros (Securities and Insurance Commission),
Duke Energy today disclosed that it would maintain its current tender offers for
Endesa.

"Our offers for Endesa represent tremendous value to Endesa shareholders," said
Bruce Williamson, president and chief executive officer of Duke Energy
International. "I want to remind shareholders that because of the higher
percentage of shares Duke Energy continues to offer to purchase, if shareholders
tender their shares to Duke Energy, they will collect significantly more cash
compared to today's announced Enersis offer. I strongly feel that our offer will
create a growing, independent Endesa for the good of Chile."

Duke Energy announced on April 16 it had increased its tender offers for Endesa
in Chile and in the United States to 275 Chilean pesos per share (8,250 pesos
per ADS) and also increased the percentage of the outstanding shares of Endesa
it is offering to purchase in its combined offers from 51 percent to 60 percent.
The company is making the offers through its wholly owned subsidiary, Duke
Energy International, L.L.C. (DEI) in the United States and, in Chile, its newly
formed wholly owned subsidiary, Duke Energy Inversiones Uno Limitada. Duke
Energy reminds Chilean shareholders outside of Santiago that they now have until
Wednesday, April 21, at 14:00 to tender their shares in Duke Energy's Chilean
auction. Chilean shareholders in Santiago have until Thursday, April 22, at noon
to tender their shares. Duke Energy's remate is scheduled to take place on April
29, on the Bolsa Electronica de Chile. Duke Energy's U.S. Offer is presently set
to expire at midnight New York City time on April 29, as announced Friday.

"Chilean shareholders have a short time remaining to tender their shares and
take advantage of the tremendous value the Duke Energy offers represent," said
Williamson. "Duke Energy's tender offers continue to ensure that every Endesa
owner can participate equally and are open to every shareholder at the same
price and on the same terms." Duke Energy also reminds shareholders that it is a
condition of Duke Energy's tender offers that at least 3,680,947,436 shares
(representing 44.88 percent of Endesa's outstanding shares) be tendered in the
Chilean Offer and that this condition may not be met if shareholders tender
their shares in the Enersis remate.

Duke Energy is a global energy company with more than $26 billion in assets.
Headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., the company reaches into more than 50
countries, producing energy, transporting energy, marketing energy and providing
energy services. In the United States, Duke Energy companies provide electric
service to approximately two million customers in North Carolina and South
Carolina; operate interstate pipelines that deliver natural gas to various
regions of the country; and are leading marketers of electricity, natural gas
and natural gas liquids. Additional information about the company is available
