NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Income Fund to acquire wind power assets from Enbridge Inc.
CALGARY, Alberta, September 19, 2006 — Enbridge Income Fund (the Fund) and Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge) today announced that the Fund will acquire Enbridge’s interests in three wind power projects in Western Canada. The Fund will purchase Enbridge’s 50% interest in the SunBridge project at Gull Lake, Saskatchewan, and Enbridge’s 33.3% interest in the Magrath and Chin Chute projects in southeast Alberta for approximately $42 million plus post-closing purchase price adjustments.
The transaction has been approved by the Fund’s Independent Trustees and Enbridge’s Board of Directors. The acquisition was reviewed for the Fund by a Special Committee of Independent Trustees, which was supported by independent financial, legal and technical advisors. A fairness opinion was obtained by the Special Committee with respect to the terms and conditions of the purchase. The acquisition is expected to close by early October.
“The acquisition is an excellent fit for Enbridge Income Fund,” said Jim Schultz, President of Enbridge Management Services Inc., the entity that administers the affairs of Enbridge Income Fund, “and is a first step in initiating the acquisition-based component of the Fund’s growth strategy to acquire energy infrastructure assets.”
“Wind power is a rapidly growing energy source worldwide,” added Mr. Schultz. “Investments in wind power are an attractive opportunity for growth, and these three wind power projects are underpinned by long-term power purchase agreements, with strong, creditworthy counterparties, that are expected to provide stable and sustainable cash flow. They provide a fine complement to the organic-based growth projects within the Fund which include the Saskatchewan system expansion and NRGreen waste heat recovery projects.”
The acquisition is immediately accretive to the distributable cash flow of the Fund and is consistent with the Fund’s objective to prudently increase cash distributions to unitholders through acquisitions of low-risk energy infrastructure. The impact of the acquisition will be factored into the Board of Trustees’ year-end review of the distribution rate, which is undertaken in conjunction with the Fund’s annual budgeting process. The Fund intends to initially finance the acquisition through its existing credit facility.
The three wind power projects will collectively have the capacity to generate 71 MW of power. The SunBridge project consists of 17 wind turbines generating 11 MW, and has been operating since 2002. The Magrath project consists of 20 turbines generating 30 MW, and has been operating since 2004. The Chin Chute project, which consists of 20 turbines capable of generating 30 MW, is expected to begin operations this fall.

Enbridge Income Fund is an unincorporated, open-ended trust created to provide a stable and sustainable flow of distributable cash to unitholders. The Fund is a premier income fund in Canada with a low-risk profile focused on energy infrastructure assets. It owns a 50% interest

(Chin Chute Project Logos)
New wind power project officially opened in Alberta
All figures are in Canadian dollars.
Taber, Alberta (September 22, 2006) — Acciona Wind Energy Canada Inc., Enbridge Inc., and Suncor Energy Products Inc. today celebrated the opening of their newest joint venture wind power project in Alberta, a $60 million, 30-megawatt facility located 20 kilometres southwest of Taber.
The facility consists of 20 1.5-megawatt turbines. It is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power approximately 14,000 Alberta homes and displace the equivalent of at least 88,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
Power generated from the facility is expected to be available to the grid in late October 2006. In the meantime, the companies will focus on safely commissioning each turbine and completing the 20 kilometre transmission line. Once in full service, Acciona will operate the wind farm.
Wind power is the fastest growing source of electricity in the world and the companies are working toward being leaders in Canadian wind power — a clean and renewable energy source that does not produce any air pollution, and has minimal impact on the environment. Benefits to the local community also extend to the economy. The project began in September 2005, creating employment for approximately 160 local people during the construction phase.
Members of Alberta’s Legislative Assembly, Leonard Mitzel for Cypress-Medicine Hat and Paul Hinman for Cardston-Taber-Warner, joined company executives and guests to officially mark the completion of the facility known as the Chin Chute Wind Power Project, named after the Chin Lakes and Chin Coulee.
“The opening of the Chin Chute Wind Power Project increases and consolidates Acciona’s presence in Canada, where we already have a wind farm in operation in Alberta. This is an excellent partnership, one in which we continue our efforts in new projects, all at different stages of development. We are honoured to have the opportunity to expand zero-emission electricity generation through renewable energies, and to cooperate with the authorities and businesses in expanding initiatives that address climate change,” said Peter Duprey, CEO of Acciona Energy North America.
“Wind power projects like Chin Chute further position Enbridge to become a significant player in developing the fastest growing sector of electricity generation in North America,” said Chuck Szmurlo, President, Enbridge Wind Power. “Chin Chute is the third wind project Enbridge has

developed in Western Canada and we have already initiated a significantly larger fourth project in Ontario. We have recently announced a planned transfer of these first three completed Western Canadian projects to our sponsored investment, Enbridge Income Fund and these projects, together with our proposed Ontario project, represent a serious investment by Enbridge and the Fund in a sustainable energy future. Developing Chin Chute and our other wind power projects is consistent with our commitment to sound environmental stewardship.”
Suncor Energy’s Executive Vice President of Natural Gas & Renewable Energy Dave Byler added, “Today Suncor embarks on its third wind farm. We remain committed to bringing to market renewable energy that is economically viable and produces minimal effect on the environment. This is an exciting milestone for Suncor, and for Alberta.”
The project companies have applied for funding under the Canadian government’s Wind Power Production Incentive, which supports wind power development in Canada.
The companies also announced a joint $30,000 gift to the Municipal District of Taber in recognition of their support for the wind power project. The money will go toward the MD’s park enhancement fundraising effort, specifically towards a new amphitheatre, stage area, lighting structure and sound/projection booth.
Acciona, Enbridge and Suncor own the 30-megawatt Magrath Wind Power Project in southern Alberta, which was commissioned in 2004 and is now operated by Acciona. Enbridge and Suncor also own the 11-megawatt SunBridge project near Gull Lake, Saskatchewan, which Enbridge operates.
Acciona Wind Energy Canada Inc., is a subsidiary of ACCIONA Energma, the world leader in the renewables sector. In wind power, it has implemented over 4,000 MW in 152 windparks in 9 countries, of which 2,825 MW are participated in by the company. It has three biomass plants and 59 MW in small hydro power plants. In the field of solar energy it has installed 18 MW of photovoltaic power and 19 MW of thermal power, and is currently constructing — in the United States — the biggest solar thermal electric power plant to be built in the world in the last 15 years. It manufactures 1,500 KW turbines using in-house technology in two plants in Spain and one in China, and produces quality homologated biodiesel. It belongs to the ACCIONA Group, one of the main Spanish and international corporations in the development and management of infrastructures, services and renewable energies, with over 30,000 employees and activities in around twenty countries.
