NEWS RELEASE

Enbridge Repays U.S. Federal Transmission Infrastructure Program Loan

on Montana-Alberta Tie-Line (MATL) Project

CALGARY, Alberta – Aug. 27, 2012 – Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) today announced the repayment of the approximately U.S.$151 million principal outstanding under the U.S.$161 million Transmission Infrastructure Program (TIP) loan granted in 2009 by the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Energy, to help kick start construction of MATL.

MATL is a 345-kilometre (215-mile), 230 kv transmission line from Great Falls, Montana to Lethbridge, Alberta, designed to support the electric transmission needs of new wind power facilities in north-central Montana and buoyant power demand in Alberta. Subject to certain remaining regulatory approvals, MATL is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter of 2012.

“Funding from WAPA was essential to getting the MATL power transmission project off the ground,” said Richard Bird, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Development for Enbridge Inc. “Their continued support has been of great assistance during the development phase of the project. Now, as the MATL project approaches completion, it is beneficial for us to replace WAPA’s initial funding with conventional financing sources available to us. We look forward to working with WAPA on future transmission projects.”
