NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge to develop new $250 million terminal at Hardisty
CALGARY, Alberta, May 3, 2006 — Enbridge Inc. (TSX/NYSE: ENB) announced today it will proceed with the development of a new crude oil terminal at Hardisty, Alberta. The terminal will involve a development cost of approximately $250 million for an initial capacity of 5 million barrels.
The new terminal will be located close to, but separate from, Enbridge’s existing regulated mainline system terminal at Hardisty, and Enbridge’s 50 per cent-owned Hardisty Caverns partnership. Like the Hardisty Caverns partnership, the new terminal will provide services on a long-term contract fee-for-service basis. The Company has entered into letters of intent, for terms averaging seven years, on 80 per cent of the initial design capacity; and is in active discussions with additional parties whose interest exceeds the remaining capacity. The design of the facility includes ample room for future expansion.
“Our new Hardisty contract terminal is a key piece of our broader terminal development initiative,” said Patrick D. Daniel, Enbridge President and Chief Executive Officer. “We currently have 15 million barrels of tankage under long-term contract, with another 30 million barrels under development at eight different locations, and a total investment opportunity of $1.5 billion. Many of these projects, like the new Hardisty terminal, are scheduled to be in service in the next two to three years.”
Mr. Daniel concluded, “Demand for terminaling facilities is very strong as a result of growth in oil sands production, seasonality of markets, and greater price volatility. The new Hardisty facility has low cost expansion potential and will position us well to attract additional business as oil sands production continues to grow.”
The Hardisty Terminal project includes the construction of 16 new tanks with all the necessary associated piping, manifolds, and booster pumps to facilitate crude oil transfers to and from the new facilities and the Enbridge mainline system and other connecting carriers and terminals. The tanks will range in size from 250,000 to 530,000 barrels. Construction is estimated to take between 24 to 30 months, and it is anticipated the facility would be in service in September 2008.

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge to confirm shipper support for US$920 million Southern Lights diluent pipeline
CALGARY, Alberta, May 30, 2006 — Enbridge Inc. (TSX/NYSE: ENB) announced today that it will conduct an Open Season to satisfy regulatory requirements and confirm shipper support for a 180,000 barrel-per-day pipeline to transport diluent from the U.S. Midwest to Western Canada. The Southern Lights Pipeline will involve a combination of new construction, changes to Enbridge’s existing crude oil pipeline system, and utilization of existing facilities, with a total estimated investment of US$920 million (2006 dollars). Upon confirmation of support from shippers wanting to contract for capacity on the diluent line, Enbridge will seek support from crude oil shippers for the required reconfiguration of the mainline system. Support from both groups will be required to advance the project.
The Southern Lights Pipeline responds to interest from a number of shippers to enhance the availability of diluent in Western Canada. Diluent is required to transport heavy oil and bitumen being produced in increasing volumes in Alberta. Assuming on-time completion of most major oil sands projects publicly announced to date, Enbridge forecasts that the demand for imported diluent could reach 300,000 barrels per day by early in the next decade. The combination of Enbridge’s 150,000 barrel-per-day Gateway Condensate Import Pipeline along with Southern Lights will meet this need. Light hydrocarbon streams suitable for diluent purposes are becoming increasingly scarce in Alberta, but are relatively plentiful in the Pacific Basin and the U.S. Midwest.
Patrick D. Daniel, Enbridge President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The objective of this new project is to create value for our customers. It will assist in ensuring adequate supplies of reasonably priced diluent to support growth in heavy oil production, and will improve the efficiency and utilization of our existing mainline system for the benefit of all crude oil shippers.”
Major elements of the Southern Lights Pipeline project include a diluent line from Chicago to Edmonton, achieved by:
    Constructing 1085 kilometres (674 miles) of 16-inch pipe from the Chicago area to Clearbrook, Minnesota. Approximately 711 kilometres (442 miles) of this construction utilizes the same right-of-way as Enbridge’s Southern Access expansion between Flanagan, Illinois (just west of Chicago) and Superior, Wisconsin. The pipeline between Superior, Wisconsin and Clearbrook, Minnesota will follow the system’s existing right-of-way.
    Reversing the flow of Enbridge’s Line 13 from Clearbrook to Edmonton.

Additionally, Enbridge plans to construct a new 20-inch pipeline to transport 185,000 barrels per day of light sour crude oil from Cromer, Manitoba to Clearbrook, and expand its existing Line 2. The result of these changes to the existing crude oil system is to increase effective light crude system capacity by 45,000 barrels per day from Edmonton to the U.S. Midwest. Southern Lights Pipeline will also share in the operating cost of the system between Edmonton and the U.S. Midwest. This sharing is expected to modestly reduce tolls on Enbridge’s crude oil mainline system.
The preliminary estimated cost of the Southern Lights project is US$920 million (2006 dollars) and it is anticipated to be in service in 2009, coinciding with the completion of the Southern Access project. The Southern Lights Pipeline is being developed by Enbridge Inc. and will not require investment by the Company’s U.S. affiliate, Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. Enbridge Energy Partners is expected to benefit from increased crude shipments, which will be facilitated by the project.
A decision to proceed with the pipeline project will require satisfactory shipping commitments, and support from crude oil shippers, as well as successful completion of engineering, environmental planning, public consultation, and regulatory approvals. The project will also require approval of the Board of Directors of Enbridge Energy Partners for an exchange of the 250-kilometre (156-mile) section of Line 13 owned by the Partnership for the same-length U.S. section of the new light sour line to be constructed as part of the project.
The Company will conduct an Open Season for the Southern Lights Pipeline beginning Tuesday, May 30, 2006 at 9 a.m. MDT until Friday, June 30, 2006 at 5 p.m. MDT. During the Open Season, prospective shippers will be provided the opportunity to review the documents, provide indications of volume commitments and execute Transportation Service Agreements that will become binding when accepted and executed by Enbridge, subject to finalization of capital cost estimates within 15 per cent of the preliminary estimate.
The Open Season procedures and high-resolution map of the proposed Southern Lights Pipeline are available on Enbridge’s web site at www.enbridge.com.
