In addition, pursuant to a Board resolution of October 5, 2010 (as modified on December 19, 2012), the Chairman also verifies implementation of the resolutions of the Board of Directors. Chief Executive Officer The Chief Executive Officer is also vested by the bylaws with the powers to re- present the Company and, in addition, is vested by a Board resolution of Octo- ber 5, 2010 (as modified on December 19, 2012) with all powers for managing the Company, with the exception of those that are otherwise assigned by law, the bylaws or resolutions of the Board of Directors. 9 Letter to the shareholders and other stakeholders Initial aggregate data on the global renewable energy sector for 2012 continue to reveal a very high level of investment, around $270 billion. (1) It is estimated that the worldwide installed renewables capacity for the year rose by around 110 GW, up 8% compared with 2011. Wind and photovoltaic technologies made especially significant contributions to- wards this growth in 2012. In the wind sector, over 44 GW of additional capacity was installed, of which 16 GW in Asia, 14 GW in North America, 12 GW in Europe and 2 GW in the rest of the world. Total installed wind capacity now exceeds 280 GW. (2) Photovoltaic power also reached a new global record for installations, with over 30 GW in additional capac- ity (of which 17 GW in Europe, 10 GW in Asia and 3 GW in North America). As a result, cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity reached around 100 GW in 2012, an increase of 45% compared with 2011. (3) The expansion in generation from renewable resources, which has now been under way for over a decade globally, is thus one of the most interesting drivers of change in economic, technological and geo-strategic scenarios. In this environment, Enel Green Power in 2012 continued to pursue its announced strategy: consolidation in its European markets and the start of further geographical diversification into markets with an ideal combination of natural resource availability and a major need to develop sources of electricity, partly to meet the demand generated by high rates of population growth. Enel Green Power continued to expand rapidly in 2012. We increased our installed capacity by more than 900 MW, to a total of 8 GW (up 13% on 2011) in the 16 countries in which we currently operate. At the end of 2012, the net installed ca- pacity of Enel Green Power broke down into 4.3 GW (54%) of wind, 2.6 GW (33%) of hydroelectric capacity, 0.8 GW (10%) of geothermal, 0.2 GW (2%) of solar and 0.1 GW (1%) of other renewable technologies (biomass and cogeneration). Underscoring the substantial rise in installed capacity, on January 16, 2013, the net daily output of Enel Green Power exceeded 100 GWh for the first time, with a peak of 103 GWh. The symbolic value of this result is significant, repre- senting the scale that the Company has been able to achieve in the last three years thanks to the contribution of all its components. Total net electricity generation in 2012 amounted to 25.1 TWh, of which 9.8 TWh (39%) from hydro generation, 9.0 TWh (36%) from wind, 5.5 TWh (22%) from geothermal, 0.2 TWh (1%) from solar and 0.5 TWh (2%) represented by other renewable technologies (biomass and cogeneration). This expansion in generation capacity and electricity sales was accompanied by an 8% increase in total revenues: €2.7 billion, compared with €2.5 billion in 2011. The gross oper- ating margin (EBITDA) in 2012 came to €1.7 billion, up 6.3% over 2011. Thus, development continued along the paths that Enel Green Power set out at the time of our IPO in 2010: substantial technological and geographical diversification, selection of the soundest and most profitable projects, and minimiza- tion of country risk. In Enel Green Power’s growth strategy, the specific weight of emerging markets has expanded, particularly Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Guatemala, which are characterized by an abundance of natural resources and sig- nificant economic and demographic progress. Growth has also been achieved in the United States and Canada, thanks to the strong economic “resilience” and favorable market conditions in those countries. (1) Source: Bloomberg Energy Finance.

As examples of this strategy, let us briefly mention a few salient developments in 2012: at the end of June and in De- cember, two wind farms in Mexico, in the State of Oaxaca, entered service, with a total capacity of 144 MW, while in November, Enel Green Power won a public tender to develop 102 MW of wind power in Oaxaca; in Brazil, construction began in December on three wind farms in the State of Bahia for a total of 90 MW, while in Chile work began on de- veloping a 90 MW wind farm in Valle de Los Vientos, in the region of Antofagasta; in Guatemala, the new “run-of-the- river” hydroelectric plant (i.e. without a dam or reservoir) with a total capacity of 87 MW entered service in Palo Viejo, in the Quiché Department. In the United States, at the end of the 1st Half of 2012, the 150 MW Rocky Ridge wind farm, located in Kiowa and Washita counties in Oklahoma, entered service. In the meantime, work began on the construction of a new 25 MW geothermal plant in southern Utah; the 76 MW Castle Rock Ridge wind farm was connected to the grid in Alberta, Canada; and in Romania, wind plants in the regions of Banat and Dobrogea, for a total of about 230 MW, entered service between late August and December. In Italy, Spain and Greece, new photovoltaic plants (with about 60 MW of new capacity) and wind plants (more than 170 MW) began operating, while we continued to upgrade our historical geothermal plants in Tuscany by completely refurbishing the Rancia 2 plant in the province of Siena.
