SANTIAGO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Endesa Chile, the nation's largest electricity generator, said on Tuesday that net income fell 17.7 percent in the first nine months of the year due to higher costs caused by a squeeze on its fuel supplies.----------------
Endesa Chile said sales in the nine-month period rose to 1.253 trillion pesos from 1.042 trillion pesos, while operating profit slipped to 380.334 billion pesos from 392.397 billion pesos.
