                                                               March 18, 1999

Dear Endesa Shareholder:

On February 25, 1999, Duke Energy International, L.L.C., commenced an offer to
purchase up to 501,947,400 common shares (including common shares represented by
American Depositary Shares) of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. ("Endesa")
at 250 Chilean pesos net per share (or 7,500 Chilean pesos per ADS, each of
which represents 30 shares of common stock of Endesa). THIS REPRESENTS A PREMIUM
OF APPROXIMATELY 48% OVER THE AVERAGE PRICE OF ENDESA SHARES ON THE SANTIAGO
STOCK EXCHANGE FOR THE SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO DUKE ENERGY'S ANNOUNCEMENT OF ITS
OFFER.

The Offer is only open to U.S. and other non-Chilean holders of Endesa ADSs and
Endesa shares. At the same time, Duke Energy is making an Offer in Chile (which
is only open to Chilean persons) for up to 3,680,947,436 Endesa shares at the
same price as in the U.S. Offer. Although Duke Energy believes that the Offer is
an attractive opportunity for Endesa shareholders, you should be aware that the
Offer cannot be consummated without the approval of a proposed amendment to
Endesa's bylaws, which would raise the limitation on share ownership from 26% to
65%. Endesa has called an Extraordinary Shareholders meeting for April 8, 1999
to vote on the proposed amendment. TO PRESERVE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE DUKE OFFER, WE URGE YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF
PROXY TODAY, VOTING FOR THE BYLAW AMENDMENT.

Approval of the proposed amendment does not obligate you in any way to tender
your shares to Duke. SINCE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT REQUIRES THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE
OF 75% OF ENDESA'S OUTSTANDING SHARES, YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

I urge you to protect the value of your investment by voting FOR the proposed
bylaw amendment. PLEASE CHECK THE FOR BOX ON THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY AND MAIL
IT TODAY.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Sincerely,

BRUCE A. WILLIAMSON
President
Duke Energy International L.L.C.

           TALKING POINTS FOR LARGE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR DISCUSSIONS
                         RE: ENDESA- CHILE TENDER OFFER


Note: Some of the talking points will not be necessary for those already
familiar with Duke Energy.

o    Duke Energy was created June 18, 1997 as a result of the merger of Duke
     Power Company and PanEnergy Corporation.

o    Duke Energy was named the world's most respected utility in a survey by the
     Financial Times and Fortune magazine has named Duke Energy "America's Most
     Admired" electric and gas company.

o    Wall Street has called Duke energy the "First Mover" in the convergence of
     gas and electricity.

o    Duke Energy International's (DEI) strategy is to build regional energy
     businesses with multiple business lines across the value chain.

o    DEI's strategy is to focus on locations with a deregulating governmental
     framework; specifically, we are currently targeting the Asia/Pacific area,
     South America and Europe.

o    DEI currently owns assets in Australia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Chile,
     Argentina, Peru and Ecuador.

o    An example of our strategy being applied in South America is the Aguaytia
     Energy Project in Peru. It began commercial operations in 1998 and is a
     fully integrated natural gas and electric system - it will serve as a model
     for how similar projects will be developed going forward.

o    Our current offer is to acquire a controlling stake in Endesa-Chile via a
     tender offer for 51% of the outstanding shares.

o    Endesa-Chile provides a strong platform for expansion that is consistent
     with our strategy.

o    Duke brings experience of owning and operating power plants along with
     expertise in trading and marketing that will be essential in the evolving
     competitive environment

o    This offer is a long term commitment to the company and the country and
     Endesa-Chile would become our base for all Latin American operations.

o    Duke has the highest regard for the management of Endesa-Chile.

o    The offer we have made is fairly priced and represents about a 48% premium
     over the average share price of the last six months.
