Santiago, June 12, 2024 - Enel Distribución has reinforced its technical resources in the field and its customer service channels to facilitate communication and reporting of possible contingencies resulting from the weather forecast announced for Thursday 13 and Friday 14 in the Metropolitan Region. The company will operate with its field capacity increased by up to 7 times more than a typical day in the case of emergency attention. It will reinforce its customer service channels by up to 5 times more to receive customer requests.

Should service be interrupted, customers must notify the company so that the company can manage the service on a case-by-case basis. Enel Distribución urges its clients to be cautious and not intervene in the distribution networks or attempt to restore service themselves.

Service Channels include WhatsApp (+56994447606), where customers may report emergencies and request information. Available platforms include our website, enel.cl/clientes, our free mobile App “Enel Clientes Chile," and Customer Service 6006960000/800800696.

Electrodependents
