E.S.P.10improvement of the river basins feedingISAGEN’s reservoirs, as well as strengtheningof the Development and Peace Programsaided by the Corporation.In the environmental management efforts,the following must be highlighted: (i) Decisionof the National Operation Council concerningthe generation reduction ramp of Miel Iplant to reduce fish trapping downstream; (ii)design and startup of the Fishing OrderingPlan in the reservoirs of Punchina in SanCarlos and San Lorenzo in Jaguas, anddownstream of Miel I, and (iii) assessment ofthe Corporation’s carbon footprint, with definitionof actions to mitigate it, and contributeto the fight against climate change.Financial managementHonoring the commitment to its Shareholders,ISAGEN recorded creation of value amountingto $51,695 million along the year <strong>2009</strong>,thanks to consolidation of the value managementsystem it has been developing forover 7 years.Also, risk rating agency Fitch Ratings ratedISAGEN’s corporate national and internationalobligations the AA+ and BB+, respectivelyAccording to this firm, “obligations rated intothis category have very high credit quality.Protection factors are very strong. Risk ismodest, though it can vary slightly because ofeconomic conditions”.According to the firm, the fact that these ratingsare lower than in 2008 is explained by twofactors: ISAGEN’s aggressive growth strategy,with which leverage, historically low, is expectedto significantly increase along the constructionphase of the Sogamoso Project, and onthe other hand, the expectations regardingsale of the State’s majority stake. Likewise, theagency rated AA+ the issue of public debtbonds the Corporation would underwrite.In September, the Financial Superintendencyauthorized issuance of bonds in the localmarket worth $850 thousand million.

ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2009</strong> / ISAGEN S.A. E.S.P.48ENERGYTRADINGMarket behavior during <strong>2009</strong><strong>2009</strong> was a year signed by regulatory adjustments and a rough change in hydrologythat modified the behavior of the Colombian Power Sector variables and, obviously,ISAGEN’s results.As far as hydrology is concerned, it is worth mentioning that during the first fourmonths of <strong>2009</strong> high water inflows, caused by La Niña phenomenon, which startedin 2008, continued. However, from May <strong>2009</strong> the trend reverted: water inflow datastarted to be systematically lower than the historical mean values for all the country’sregions, until the end of July, when, not only IDEAM but international weatherresearch agencies, officially declared the presence of El Niño phenomenon.The following table depicts water inflow as a percentage of the historical mean valuefor each of the country’s regions.

ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2009</strong> / ISAGEN S.A. E.S.P.49Regulation also experienced importantchanges during <strong>2009</strong>. The regulatory agendaduring the first quarter was shaped byCREG Resolutions 006 and 015. This regulation,aimed at promoting and preservingfree competition in the Wholesale EnergyMarket, limited access to information of dispatchand bid prices, something that forcedto re-consider strategies for agent’s pricebids and, obviously, did impact marketresults.Through CREG Resolutions 051 and 076,price bids scheme, Ideal Dispatch and therules to determine pool price in the WholesaleEnergy Market were modified during the secondhalf of <strong>2009</strong>. This regulation also introducedStart-up and Stop Prices bid for thermalgenerators.years, ISAGEN proactively took part, with proposals and comments, in regulation issued fromcompetent authorities.Another important aspect to mention during <strong>2009</strong> was the high thermal generation registered,especially during the last two quarters. Thermal generation was encouraged mainly by regulationfrom Resolutions 051 and 076 and, later, by low inflows and low water reserves, forcingthermal generation in order to supply energy demand from the national electric system.System demandDomestic demand during <strong>2009</strong> reached 54,679 GWh, an increase of 1.5% compared to lastyear’s. This growth is slightly bigger than 1.4% projected by UPME in its medium scenario ofNovember <strong>2009</strong>. During the last two years, demand has decreased significantly in its growthrate, mainly due to the world economic crisis started in 2008, something that produced a significantnegative impact on the country’s economic growth, which, in turn, affected electricitydemand of unregulated customers as a consequence of a lower manufacturing activity. This isdepicted in Chart 5.CHART 4.DOMESTIC DEMAND EVOLUTION IN GWh/YEAR 1995-<strong>2009</strong>At the beginning of the fourth quarter of <strong>2009</strong>,by means of Resolution 18 1654, the Ministryof Mines and Energy declared a natural gasscheduled rationing, in order to find the mostefficient possible way to assign available gasquantities for thermal generation and, in thisway, face the dry season caused by El Niñophenomenon. Upon issuing of this Resolution,a series of CREG (Energy and Gas RegulatoryCommission) and MME (Ministry of Minesand Energy) regulations were producedaimed at facing in the best possible way theclimate phenomenon.

Its main objective is to remunerate generatoragents for the availability of their generation assets that comply with the characteristicsand parameters specified for calculating the Firm Energy for Reliability Charge – ENFICC, forits Spanish initials–.For the 2008-<strong>2009</strong> period, Firm Energy Obligations allocations for power plants was performedin a centralized way, proportionally between system agents.Table 12 depicts revenues corresponding to periods of time when real generation was lowerthan the Firm Energy Obligation assigned to ISAGEN during <strong>2009</strong>. Also shown are values ofobligations derived from periods of time when real generation was higher than Firm Energyassigned for the same period. During <strong>2009</strong>, refunds for Reliability Charge are lower thanduring 2008, due to less generation and to the appraisal of the Colombian Peso against theUS Dollar.TABLE 12.RELIABILITY REMUNERATION<strong>2009</strong> 2008 Difference Growth$Million $Million $Million %Revenues 0,0 0,0 0,0 -Refunds 72.233,2 96.941,7 -24.708,5 -25,5Net -72.233,2 -96.941,7 24.708,5 -25,5Contents Letter from the CEO Achievements<strong>2009</strong>Good GovernancePractices EvaluationCorporateManagementFinancial Management

On the other hand, charges for NationalTransmission System, Regional Transmission System and Local Distribution System usewere significantly lower than those of 2008, due to the lower demand of end-customers anddeflation of Producer Price Index –PPI–, because tariffs are indexed to this indicator.Constraints were 25% lower than those registered last year. It is worth mentioning this resultbecause during the second semester of <strong>2009</strong> a large amount of out-of-merit thermal generationwas required to meet System requirements and keep reservoir levels in order to face El Niñophenomenon.
