        DUKE ENERGY REITERATES ITS COMMITMENT TO ACQUIRING 51 PERCENT OF
                EMPRESA NACIONAL DE ELECTRICIDAD S. A. (ENDESA)

Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) announced today that if the total number of Endesa
shares the company wishes to purchase in the Chilean Auction are not tendered by
Chilean shareholders, Duke Energy may amend its U. S. Offer to purchase, to
increase the maximum number of Endesa shares and ADSs sought in the U. S. in
order to achieve 51 percent of Endesa in the combined offers.

"We planned our transaction to ensure that it is equitable to all shareholders,"
said Bruce Williamson, president and CEO of Duke Energy International. "If the
Chilean shareholders do not choose to fully participate in the Chilean offer,
however, we may choose to accept the amount tendered in the Chilean auction and
acquire the shortfall, up to 51 percent, in the U. S. offer."

The Chilean Auction, which is open only to Chileans, is conditioned on there
having been tendered 3,680,947,436 shares of Endesa for sale at the auction.
Similarly, the U. S. offer, which is open only to U. S. and other non-Chileans,
is conditioned on Duke Energy having successfully purchased the needed Chilean
shares.

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

                               IMPORTANT REMINDER

                                                               March 30, 1999

Dear Endesa ADS Shareholder:

As you know an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting will be held on April 8, 1999
to consider an amendment to Endesa's by-laws raising the current limitation on
share ownership from 26% to 65%. In making your voting decision, you should be
aware of the following:

o     Duke Energy International has offered to purchase up to 501,947,400 Endesa
      common shares, including common shares represented by American Depositary
      Shares at 7,500 Chilean pesos per ADS. THE DUKE OFFER 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.

o     Duke's Offer cannot be consummated without the approval of the proposed
      amendment, which requires the affirmative vote of 75% of Endesa's
      outstanding shares. YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

o     ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSAL GIVES YOU THE FREEDOM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DUKE
      OFFER, OR ANY OTHER OFFER WHICH MAY BE FORTHCOMING. It does not obligate
      you to tender your shares.

o     Citibank, the ADS Depositary, must receive your bank or broker's voting
      instruction by 10:00 A.M., EST, on Tuesday, April 6, 1999. THEREFORE YOUR
      BANK OR BROKER MUST RECEIVE YOUR VOTE BY APRIL 5, 1999 IN ORDER TO HAVE
      AMPLE TIME TO DELIVER IT TO CITIBANK.

 I URGE YOU TO PROTECT THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT BY SIGNING, DATING AND
 RETURNING THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY TODAY, VOTING FOR THE BY-LAW AMENDMENT.

 Thank you for your consideration and support.

 Sincerely

 Bruce A. Williamson
 President
 Duke Energy International, L.L.C.
