NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge announces Open Season on the Gateway Project’s Condensate Import Pipeline
CALGARY, Alberta, July 7, 2005 — Enbridge Inc. today announced it will conduct an Open Season for the Gateway Project’s Condensate Import Pipeline, which would provide transportation for offshore condensate supply from Canada’s West Coast at Kitimat or Prince Rupert, British Columbia with redelivery to Edmonton, Alberta. The condensate import pipeline is a potential element of the Gateway Project, which also involves the crude oil export pipeline to transport crude oil from Edmonton to Kitimat or Prince Rupert to service both U.S. West Coast markets and Asia-Pacific refiners. A separate open season for the crude oil export pipeline will be held later this year.
Recent and anticipated market demand for condensate in Western Canada has stimulated considerable interest in the condensate line. The purpose of the Open Season is to confirm shipper support for the line to permit Enbridge to incorporate it into the Gateway Project development plan. The decision to proceed with one or both pipelines is subject to commercial considerations, including satisfactory shipper commitments, as well as successful completion of engineering, environmental planning, and public and Aboriginal consultation. The Company has already completed preliminary design work, engineering and environmental assessments of the pipeline, and is conducting a public and Aboriginal consultation program.
The Condensate Import Pipeline Open Season will proceed in two phases. Phase I will begin at noon MDT on July 8 and end at 5 p.m. MDT on August 12, 2005. During Phase I, prospective shippers will be provided the opportunity to comment on the documents and will be requested to provide indications of volume commitments. Phase II will occur between noon MDT on August 15 and 5 p.m. MDT on September 30, 2005. Phase II will involve the execution by prospective shippers of a Precedent Agreement that will become binding when accepted and executed by Enbridge.
The Open Season procedures are available on the Enbridge website at www.enbridge.com/gateway.
The Gateway condensate import pipeline would involve construction of a new 16-inch diameter pipeline with a minimum initial capacity of approximately 150,000 barrels per day to transport offshore condensate supplies from Kitimat or Prince Rupert to Edmonton. The pipeline would include docking and tankage terminal facilities in Kitimat or Prince Rupert and tankage terminal facilities in Edmonton, located next to Enbridge’s existing tankage terminal facility. As with a crude oil export pipeline, the deepwater port would provide access to large-scale marine vessels and lower cost transportation options to potential shippers. The condensate import pipeline

would be placed into service by mid-year 2010 and could benefit significantly from cost savings recognized if constructed concurrently with a crude oil export pipeline.
The Gateway condensate import pipeline will benefit Canadian producers by providing cost-effective transportation access for new condensate supply sources to meet the growing requirements for the production of Western Canada’s oil sands.
Gateway is prepared to consider offering up to 49% of the equity participation in the Condensate Import Pipeline to shippers who enter into long-term capacity commitments.

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Receives Strong Customer Support For Southern Access Projects
Major expansion will supply additional Canadian crude oil to U.S. markets
CALGARY, Alberta and HOUSTON, Texas, July 28, 2005 — Enbridge Inc. (TSX/NYSE:ENB) and Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:EEP) (the “Partnership”) today announced a successful conclusion to their Open Season to confirm shipper support for the Southern Access Mainline Expansion Program. Letters of support from shippers strongly endorsed the need to proceed with all three phases of the expansion concurrently, which will provide an additional 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil capacity on the Enbridge mainline system from Hardisty, Alberta to Chicago, Illinois as early as 2009.
Negotiation of final contract terms with individual shippers, or the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers on their behalf, as well as Canadian and U.S. regulatory approvals are key remaining expansion program milestones.
Richard Bird, Group Vice President Liquids Pipelines for both Enbridge and the Partnership said, “The Southern Access Program is a key component of our overall plan to facilitate access to new markets for expanding supplies of crude oil from the Alberta oil sands. The Program represents the lowest cost alternative for the capacity and market access required by our customers, even before expected cost savings of US$120 million that are achievable by completing the three phases within a reasonably tight timeframe. As well, the expansion will provide the shortest possible transit times, lowest shipper investment in line-fill, and greatest flexibility for storage and alternative delivery options.”
Bird continued, “The Program is also good for U.S. refiners because it enhances their access to a secure and expanding source of crude oil supplies and will permit better segregation of crude types to greatly enhance the quality of crudes delivered from the Enbridge system.”
The Canadian portion of the Southern Access Expansion Program from Edmonton to the international border near Neche, North Dakota, will be undertaken by Enbridge Pipelines Inc., the Enbridge subsidiary that owns the Canadian mainline system, at a cost of approximately US$135 million in 2005 dollars.
The U.S. portion of the expansion program, from the international border to Chicago, will be undertaken on the Partnership’s Lakehead system (the U.S. mainline system), at a cost of approximately US$760 million in 2005 dollars, taking into consideration the expected savings of proceeding with all three phases concurrently. Tariffs for this portion of the expansion would be based on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s trended original cost model, including a 9% real return on equity.
The Open Season also sought non-binding indications of interest for the Southern Access Extension Project, involving an Enbridge Inc. extension from the Lakehead System near

Chicago to Wood River and/or Patoka, Illinois. Enbridge was pleased with the initial support for the extension project and will continue detailed discussions to finalize the project’s design and timing in preparation for a second, binding Open Season.
Additional information on the Southern Access Program has been posted in the “About Us” section on www.enbridgepartners.com.
ABOUT THE ENBRIDGE-LAKEHEAD MAINLINE SYSTEM
The Partnership’s Lakehead System and affiliate Enbridge Pipelines system in Canada are operationally integrated. Together, the systems deliver approximately two-thirds of the crude oil produced in western Canada to refinery centers in the U.S. Upper Midwest and Canada. The Lakehead System spans approximately 1,900 miles in the United States, from the international border near Neche, North Dakota, to the international border near Marysville, Michigan, with an extension across the Niagara River into the Buffalo, New York area. The system is strategically located and provides low-cost and highly reliable delivery of crude oil and natural gas liquids to premium U.S. refinery markets, including Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chicago and Detroit-Toledo. In early 2006, the Lakehead System will have access to the Cushing Terminal, one of the largest crude transportation and storage hubs in North America, via the Spearhead pipeline (now undergoing reversal by Enbridge).
