bpd, depending on crude slate.
We are pleased with this further expansion of our oil sands regional infrastructure to meet
the needs of the Christina Lake project. Our strong existing asset base will continue to provide
us with attractive investment opportunities to support growth from existing oil sands customers, as
well as new projects as they develop, said Stephen J. Wuori, Executive Vice-President, Liquids
Pipelines, Enbridge Inc. The Athabasca Pipeline can be expanded to as much as 570,000 bpd.
Depending on the needs of other shippers we may revise the scope of this expansion upward prior to
regulatory filing. Such additional capacity would be available in the third quarter of 2014.
Since mid-2009, Enbridge has announced approximately $1.8 billion in commercially secured projects

Enbridge to Provide Pipeline and Terminaling Services to Sunrise Oil Sands Project
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). Enbridge will construct a new
originating terminal (Hartley terminal) at the Sunrise Project, a 112-kilometre (66-mile),
24-inch diameter pipeline from Hartley to Enbridges Cheecham Terminal and additional tankage at
Cheecham. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $475 million with an initial capacity
of 90,000 bpd, expandable to 270,000 bpd. The facilities are expected to be in service in the
latter half of 2013.
We are very pleased to add the Sunrise Project to our roster of oil sands projects committed to
Enbridges regional pipeline and terminal system. This will bring the number of oil sands projects
connected to our system to eight by 2013, said Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Enbridge Inc. The Sunrise commercial arrangements are similar to those recently
concluded with both Suncor and the Christina Lake project in that Enbridge will benefit from an
attractive investment in new facilities and from increased volumes on existing facilities. The
investment will be accretive to earnings per share in 2013.
Mr. Daniel added, This new project brings expansions and extensions of Enbridges
Regional Oil Sands System announced in the last year to a total of approximately $2.3 billion. This
string of investments reflects our strategy to capitalize on regional pipeline and terminaling
opportunities and further solidifies our competitive position as the largest pipeline
operator in this oilsands region.
Under the terms of the agreement, Enbridge will also provide pipeline transportation services
on its existing Regional Oil Sands System for up to 90,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen
produced from Phase 1 of the Sunrise Project. All of these arrangements remain subject to the
final sanctioning of the Sunrise Project. The initial term of the pipeline and terminaling
agreement is 20 years with Husky having the right to extend the agreement in successive five year
terms for a total contract life of 45 years. Enbridge and Husky will share equally in net revenues
from third party volumes transported in the line.

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 Americas 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 earths 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.

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 Enbridges 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.
Enbridges focus is now on removing the oil from the retention pond, roadway and ditch, said Mr.
McGill. We are bringing all available resources to bear to safely and effectively complete this
work.
The clean-up is being conducted in compliance with all government regulations and Enbridges own
stringent standards for safety and the environment. Plans for remediation and reclamation of the
site will be developed with the input of affected stakeholders and environmental regulators, the
state and federal authorities.
Enbridge was notified of the leak at 12:28 p.m. Central Time on Sept. 9, 2010. The line was shut
down immediately. Enbridges schedulers are working with shippers to divert crude oil volumes to
other available pipelines and storage facilities. There is no current estimate of when the Line 6A
could be restarted.
Enbridge requests that anyone who sees wildlife in distress contact our hotline at
1-877-440-7158. Members of the public should not approach or touch any wildlife affected by the
leak. Focus Wildlife and U.S Fish & Wildlife have been notified and will be on site.

crude oil from Superior, Wisconsin, to Griffith, Indiana. It is part of the Partnerships Lakehead
System. At the time of the leak the pipeline was transporting about 459,000 barrels per day of
heavy crude.

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 Enbridges
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 Enbridges 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 worlds longest crude oil and liquids transportation system. The Company also has
