NEWS RELEASE

Enbridge Launches US$600-million Crude Oil Pipeline Proposal to Provide Enhanced Access to U.S. Markets

CALGARY, Alberta, October 6, 2003 — Enbridge Inc. today announced its affiliate, Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P., is launching a new crude oil pipeline proposal to provide access from its existing terminal at Superior, Wisconsin, south to the Wood River hub in southern Illinois.

The new line will become part of the Lakehead Pipeline System of Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P., which is partially owned and is managed by Enbridge subsidiaries. Development of the line will be subject to support by crude oil shippers, and regulatory approvals.

The proposed 630-mile line (24 to 30 inches in diameter) will have an initial capacity of 250,000 barrels per day, and will cost US$550 – $650 million. It will interconnect with Enbridge’s recently announced Spearhead Pipeline, providing flexibility to access tankage on Spearhead and to move to any of the Chicago, Wood River or Cushing market hubs from the interconnection point in Illinois. The line is expected to be in service in 2007, allowing sufficient time for shipper and public consultation, detailed route determination, environmental reviews and regulatory approvals.

The new pipeline is intended to provide increased capacity on the Lakehead system to accommodate growing production from the Alberta oil sands. It is part of a broader Enbridge strategy to provide greater access to new U.S. markets for growing Canadian crude oil supplies.

Alberta’s oil sands have recently been acknowledged by the U.S. Energy Information Administration as having 180 billion barrels of crude oil reserves.

“The proposed Southern Access Pipeline, together with our previously announced Spearhead Pipeline joint venture, represent major steps in furthering continental security of energy supply,” said Patrick D. Daniel, President & Chief Executive Officer of Enbridge.

“Canadian crude oil producers will benefit from stronger netbacks associated with adequate export capacity and market diversification. Refineries and their customers in the U.S. Midwest and Mid-continent will benefit from improved access to secure, reliable and growing supplies of crude oil from the Alberta oil sands. The project will contribute significantly to earnings growth for Enbridge Energy Partners, thus for Enbridge, consistent with our objective of creating value for our investors by creating value for our customers.”
