NEWS RELEASE

Enbridge’s Spearhead Pipeline Proposal to Proceed

CALGARY, Alberta, December 10, 2004 – Enbridge Inc. today announced it plans to proceed with its proposed Spearhead Pipeline project, following the successful conclusion of its open season for shipper commitments and after securing support from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. The Spearhead Pipeline will provide crude oil transportation service from the Enbridge main line system at Chicago, to the storage and refining hub at Cushing, Oklahoma.

The recent open season resulted in 10-year shipping commitments of an initial 60,000 barrels per day, increasing to 75,000 barrels per day by 2009. Following regulatory approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in the United States and the National Energy Board in Canada, Enbridge will begin work to reverse the flow of the line, which historically operated in south-to-north service between Cushing and Chicago. Enbridge expects to have the line in service during the first quarter of 2006, with initial capacity of 125,000 barrels per day. The line could subsequently be expanded to accommodate up to 160,000 barrels per day.

“The Spearhead Pipeline is expected to benefit both Canadian producers and U.S. refineries by providing transportation for growing supplies of crude oil from Western Canada to refineries in southern PADD II. The Spearhead Pipeline is an important part of our ongoing strategy to provide access to new crude oil markets throughout the continental U.S. and beyond,” said Patrick D. Daniel, President and CEO, Enbridge Inc.

Enbridge acquired in 2003 a 90-percent interest in the 1,050-km (650-mile) Cushing to Chicago Pipeline System from BP Pipelines North America Inc. BP Pipeline retains 10-percent ownership, but Enbridge retains an option to acquire BP’s interest.
