OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Endesa to Appeal Spanish Ministry Cabinet’s Decision

New York, February 6^th, 2006.- In the wake of the Spanish cabinet’s decision to approve the takeover of ENDESA (NYSE:ELE) by Gas Natural, ENDESA’s the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors has decided to appeal this decision at the Supreme Court.

ENDESA believes that the conditions imposed, together with the poor quality of Gas Natural’s project, mean that the business combination lacks strategic, economic and manufacturing rationale, while by the same token jeopardising the initiative due to the serious regulatory risk it entails.
