Enbridge to Acquire Ontario Solar Project from First Solar

TORONTO, ONTARIO and TEMPE, ARIZONA — (October 2, 2009) — Enbridge Inc (TSX, NYSE: ENB) and First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) announced today that they have entered into an agreement for Enbridge to acquire a 20 megawatt (MW) solar energy project that First Solar has developed and is constructing near Sarnia, Ontario.

“As society and governments increasingly accept green energy, we believe that solar energy represents meaningful opportunities for long-term growth,” said Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Enbridge, Inc. “The Sarnia Solar Project is right in the sweet spot of Enbridge’s renewable energy strategy. It has risk and return characteristics which are fully consistent with Enbridge’s low-risk business model, and similar to our crude oil pipeline business. At the same time it represents a further step towards our corporate goal of a neutral environmental footprint.

“We’re pleased to work with First Solar, the global leader in solar energy, in the commercialization of this project,” Mr. Daniel continued. “In 2009, Enbridge’s investment in solar energy will be approximately C$100 million. We plan to continue to invest in further renewable energy investments which have similar risk and return characteristics, including potential additional investments in Ontario.”

The Sarnia Solar Project is expected to be completed by the end of 2009 and be the largest photovoltaic solar energy facility in operation in Canada and one of the largest in North America. At 20 MW, Enbridge expects the project will generate enough power to meet the needs about 3,200 homes and help to save the equivalent of approximately 6,600 tonnes of CO₂ per year.

“Enbridge’s investment underscores the fact that large-scale solar photovoltaic power generation is becoming a reality,” said Bruce Sohn, President of First Solar. “This agreement is the first that realizes the value of the OptiSolar project development pipeline that we acquired in April. First Solar’s project development and engineering, procurement and construction capabilities have enabled us to complete over 65 per cent of the 20 MW project in less than three months.” First Solar did not recognize revenue from this project in the fiscal third quarter.

Under the terms of the agreement, First Solar is constructing the solar project under a fixed price engineering, procurement and construction contract, utilizing its thin film photovoltaic technology. First Solar’s advanced thin film technology has been deployed in over 1,000 MW of installations in the U.S. and Europe.

First Solar will also provide operations and maintenance services under a long-term contract. The power output of the facility will be sold to the Ontario Power Authority pursuant to a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement under the terms of the Ontario Government’s Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program. Subject to certain conditions, Enbridge may participate with First Solar in future solar energy projects at the Sarnia site.

The Sarnia project will complement Enbridge’s four existing wind energy projects which have a combined capacity of 260 megawatts. Enbridge’s share of the power generated by the wind facilities provides enough green energy to meet the equivalent of 35 per cent of the power requirements of the Company’s Canadian crude oil mainline. Enbridge also has interests in emissions-free hybrid fuel cell technology and waste heat recovery facilities.

“Enbridge is pleased to invest in infrastructure projects like the Sarnia Solar Project that are creating near term employment in Ontario, as well as advancing Ontario’s green energy policy objectives,” said Mr. Daniel. “Ontario’s Green Energy Act demonstrates the commitment of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and the Honourable George Smitherman, Deputy Premier and Minister of Energy and Infrastructure to a diversified portfolio of green energy solutions and to encouraging investment in Ontario. We already own and operate the 190 MW Enbridge Ontario Wind Project in Bruce County, Ontario, the second largest in Canada, and we welcome the opportunity to help create additional environmentally preferred energy solutions and to support a diversified, interconnected and stable supply of green energy in Ontario.”

Sarnia Solar Energy at a glance:

Capacity peak: approx. 20,000 kilowatts

Module surface area: approx. 250,615 m²; approx. 337,200 thin film modules (First Solar)

Annual yield: around 30 million kWh (corresponding to the annual consumption of around 3,200 households)

CO₂ saving: approx. 6,600 tonnes per year

NEWS RELEASE

Enbridge Announces Plan to Construct US $250 Million Crude Oil Pipeline in Ultra Deepwater Gulf of Mexico

HOUSTON and CALGARY, Alberta (October 5, 2009) — Enbridge Inc. (TSX: ENB) (NYSE:ENB) today announced it has entered into a Letter of Intent with Chevron USA, Inc., Statoil Gulf of Mexico LLC and Marubeni Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. to construct and operate an oil pipeline from the proposed Big Foot ultra deepwater development in the Gulf of Mexico. This proposed crude oil pipeline project is complementary to Enbridge’s previously announced plans to construct the Walker Ridge Gathering System, which will provide natural gas transportation for the proposed Chevron-operated Jack, St. Malo and Big Foot fields.

The estimated cost of the Big Foot Oil Pipeline, which will be located about 170 miles south of the coast of Louisiana, is approximately US $250 million. Combined with the Walker Ridge Gathering System project, the proposed oil pipeline would bring the total Enbridge investment for the projects to US $750 million.

“The Big Foot Oil Pipeline reinforces Enbridge’s presence as the leading pipeline services provider in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico region,” said Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Enbridge Inc. “We are particularly pleased with our expanding relationship with Chevron, one of the major operators in the region, and our growing oil pipeline business in the deepwater region, which has substantial production growth potential. Like the Walker Ridge Gathering System, the Big Foot Oil Pipeline will have investment risk and return characteristics comparable to Enbridge’s normal business model.”

Added Mr. Daniel, “The Big Foot Oil Pipeline and Walker Ridge Gathering System projects further complement Enbridge’s strong portfolio of commercially secured projects and support our expectation that we will be able to extend our 10% plus 2008-2013 average growth rate at a similar rate well beyond 2013.

“Enbridge has ample financial capacity to fund the equity component of the combined $750 million investment in these two offshore projects from internally generated cash flow and surplus balance sheet equity, as well as to accommodate additional opportunities which we have under development.”

The Big Foot Oil Pipeline will consist of approximately 40 miles of 20-inch diameter pipe at depths of up to 5,900 feet, and will have capacity to transport up to 100,000 barrels per day. Big Foot will deliver to a sub-sea connection on existing deepwater pipeline infrastructure.

Enbridge offshore pipelines transport about 40 percent of all deepwater Gulf of Mexico natural gas production and include joint venture interests in 12 transmission and gathering pipelines in six major pipeline corridors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The system moves on average approximately 30 percent of the Gulf of Mexico natural gas production at a rate of 2.5 billion cubic feet per day.

Additionally, Enbridge operates — in Canada and the United States — the world’s longest liquid petroleum pipeline system, which delivers more than 2 million barrels per day of crude oil and liquids primarily from reserves in western Canada to refining centers in the Midwest and Ontario, Canada.
