Enel Chile reports resilient results amid rainfall rebound in Maule basin
What happened
Enel Chile reported resilient results for the first nine months of 2026, supported by improved hydrological conditions late in the period. Cumulative rainfall in the Maule and Biobío basins moved above historical averages following heavy precipitation associated with a strong El Niño event. This led to an 88% sequential rise in hydroelectric generation during the third quarter.
