about the efficient and rational use of energy, which will result in monetary savings and preservation
of the environment.

Consumers with available capacities in their connections greater than 2 MW (free clients),
they adopt some of the options in High Voltage, usually the hourly one, and negotiate freely with the
electric company the unit prices of energy (kWh) and maximum power (kW). To the rest of the
consumers. they are billed for their consumption according to the prices that are published month by month in a
national circulation newspaper, called TARIFF SHEET (regulated customers).

In order for the option chosen by the client to be the most favorable, it will be necessary to know the schedule and the
work method, the different activities, manner and amount of electricity usage and the
coincidence with their occurrence. The analysis and recording of the charges contained in the invoice
it should be done permanently to detect undue charges or sudden changes in energy and
power. Careful use will lead to savings on the billing.

CURRENT TARIFF OPTIONS IN CHILE

1.1. DEFINITION OF PEAK HOURS

APRIL - SEPTEMBER

1.2. DEFINITION OF READ ENERGY AND DEMAND

Energy: It is the power consumed over a specific period and is expressed in KILOWATT-HOURS.
The mathematical formula is:
E = P · T kwh
Demanda Leída:Es el más alto valor de las demandas integradas en periodos sucesivos de 15
minutes.

1.3. ANALYSIS OF THE TARIFF DOCUMENT

The tariff schedule is the list of values that the Electrical Distributor must publish with the values
of the items that make up the Invoices and Receipts that these Companies send to their Clients.

These rates updated daily can be obtained online at the site of each
Electric Distributor of the Concession Area.

SURCHARGE FOR POOR POWER FACTOR

They will be charged 1% of the net value of the invoice for every 0.01 in which the factor of
power dropped to 0.93.

Rush hours

Peak hours of the Central Interconnected System (SIC) will be understood as those reported in the
decrees establishing node prices applicable to electricity supplies at regulated prices for
clients, users or end consumers, of the Ministry of Economy, Development and Reconstruction, or in
those decrees or publications that the authority issues to communicate their modification. Currently the
peak hours defined for the SIC are between 18:00 and 23:00 hours each day of the
meses de abril, mayo, junio, julio, agosto y septiembre.
