CALGARY, ALBERTA September 7, 2010 — Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to provide pipeline and terminaling services to the proposed, Husky operated Sunrise Oil Sands Project (the “Sunrise Project”).

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge enters geothermal power business
Calgary, Alberta, September 8, 2010 — Enbridge Inc. (TSX, NYSE:ENB) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with U.S. Geothermal Inc. of Boise, Idaho to partner in the 35-megawatt (MW) Neal Hot Springs geothermal project. Enbridge will invest up to US$23.8 million for a 20 per cent interest in the plant. U.S. Geothermal will own the remaining 80 per cent.
The Neal Hot Springs geothermal project, developed by U.S. Geothermal Inc., is located in Malheur County, Oregon. U.S. Geothermal is constructing and will operate the facility. Construction of the project is underway and an in-service date of Q2 2012 is expected. The project will deliver electricity to the Idaho Power grid under a 25-year power purchase agreement.
     “Enbridge is already heavily involved in renewable and alternative energy projects through our interests in 810 megawatts of wind, solar, waste heat recovery and fuel cell projects,” said Patrick D. Daniel, Enbridge President and CEO. “This investment will be our initial entry into geothermal energy, which we think has an important role to play in North America’s shift toward a greener energy production mix.”
“Our strategic partnership with Enbridge assures full financing for the successful construction and operation of the Neal Hot Springs geothermal project,” said Daniel Kunz, President and CEO of U.S. Geothermal Inc. “We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Enbridge on this and potentially other geothermal projects in our portfolio. Upon achieving commercial operation, Neal Hot Springs will be our third operating geothermal asset and will build upon our track record of successfully developing our existing pipeline of quality resources.”
Geothermal energy is renewable energy from the heat of the earth’s interior. The Neal Hot Springs geothermal project will recover this energy through a binary process that involves pumping hot water from a reservoir in the earth up through production wells. From the production wells, the water will go through closed circuit heat exchangers where it will boil a refrigerant liquid that will be sent through turbines to generate electricity. The hot water will then be injected back into the underground reservoir.
“Green energy is a key component in our plan to achieve a neutral environmental footprint as we grow our operations,” said Mr. Daniel. “In 2009 we committed to generating a kilowatt of renewable energy for every kilowatt of energy that our operations consume, and we are making good progress on that objective. We look forward to our relationship with U.S Geothermal and the potential that we may find further opportunities to partner together.”

HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2010 — Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (“The Partnership”) (NYSE:EEP) provides this update on the progress of clean-up efforts in response to the leak that occurred on Line 6A of the Lakehead System in Romeoville, Illinois, on Sept. 9, 2010.
The health and safety of the public and of the people working on the clean-up remain Enbridge’s top priority as we respond to the leak.
“We express our apologies to the businesses in Romeoville and surrounding areas for the disruption, and extend our appreciation to emergency responders and regulatory agencies for their professional, diligent and supportive actions,” said Terrance McGill, President of the Partnership.
There are now about 200 personnel working on scene and the leak site has been contained. Neither the size nor the cause of the leak has been determined.
“Crews worked through the night to contain the oil,” said Mr. McGill. “As a result of their efforts, the site has now been isolated and the oil contained. No new oil is reaching the roadway, the nearby ditch or the retention pond. Enbridge expects to begin excavating the pipeline leak site today or early tomorrow.”

Enbridge Energy Partners Update: Romeoville, IL leak clean-up
HOUSTON, Sept. 12, 2010 — Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (“the Partnership”) (NYSE:EEP), this evening confirmed it had completed the drain up of the remaining oil in the isolated pipeline segment on Line 6A in Romeoville, IL, having previously contained the leak.
The Partnership estimates that 6,100 barrels of crude oil were released. Only a small portion of that amount escaped from the immediate area of the leak before Enbridge crews began vacuuming the oil. Virtually all of the oil, approximately 6,050 barrels, has already been recovered.
Approximately 300 personnel and contractors remain focused on safely, quickly and efficiently cleaning up and remediating the affected areas.
Line 6A remains shut down and there is no current estimate of when the line will be restarted. Enbridge’s schedulers are working with shippers to divert crude oil volumes to other available pipelines and storage facilities.
“Enbridge personnel continue to meet with businesses, organizations and people in the area to address their concerns,” said Terrance McGill, President of the Partnership. “The health and safety of the public and of the people working on the clean-up remain Enbridge’s top priority as we respond to the leak.”
“Over the past few days we have been in contact with businesses in the area to keep them informed of our activities and to address any concerns they may have,” Mr. McGill said. He noted that the majority of businesses in the area are expected to be open tomorrow.

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge to Expand Edmonton Terminal
CALGARY, Alberta, September 28, 2010 — Enbridge Inc. (TSE, NYSE: ENB) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (EPI), will expand the tankage of its mainline terminal at Edmonton, Alberta by one million barrels at an estimated cost of approximately $260 million, subject to regulatory approval. The expansion is targeted for completion by late 2012.
The expansion is required to accommodate growing oil sands production receipts both from Enbridge’s Waupisoo Pipeline and other non-Enbridge pipelines. The expansion will be undertaken under the terms of the 2010 Incentive Tolling Settlement between EPI and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP). Enbridge has received a letter of support from CAPP to undertake the project.
The expansion, which will be conducted over two phases, will consist of the construction of four tanks in the North Terminal and the installation of short segment of pipeline and related infrastructure. Subject to regulatory approval, construction will commence early in 2011. Phase I is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2012 and Phase II in the fourth quarter of 2012.
“Our strong regional presence, combined with our mainline system, gives Enbridge an unparalleled ability to expand and extend our energy delivery networks to reach new markets for our customers throughout North America,” says Stephen J. Wuori, Executive Vice President, Liquids Pipelines, Enbridge Inc. “These additional tanks will help ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place to accommodate increased oil volumes anticipated in 2012 and will provide improved netbacks for our customers.”
The proposed tanks will be built with a number of safety and environmental protection features and will be incorporated into Enbridge’s existing safety and emergency response plans and procedures for the Terminal. Enbridge will take steps to minimize potential impacts associated with noise, traffic and dust during construction. The work will be conducted within the existing Enbridge Terminal property, located in an industrial area in Strathcona County.
Enbridge Inc., a Canadian company, is a North American leader in delivering energy and one of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations. As a transporter of energy, Enbridge operates, in Canada and the U.S., the world’s longest crude oil and liquids transportation system. The Company also has a growing involvement in the natural gas transmission and midstream businesses, and is expanding its interests in renewable and green energy technologies including wind and solar energy, hybrid fuel cells and carbon dioxide sequestration.
