NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge
launches US$2 billion Alberta Clipper Project
and Cdn $0.3 billion Line 4 Extension Project
CALGARY, ALBERTA; HOUSTON, TEXAS, January 25 2007 Enbridge Inc. (ENB: TSE and NYSE) and
Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. (EEP: NYSE), announced today that they have received industry support
to proceed with construction of two projects as additions to the Enbridge common carrier mainline
system. These projects are the
US$2 billion (2006 dollars) Alberta Clipper Project, which Enbridge initially introduced in
February 2006, and the Cdn$0.3 billion Line 4 Extension Project.
During the first quarter of 2007, Enbridge and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers will
undertake discussions to finalize the scope, timing, ratemaking parameters and performance
incentives of these projects. The projects remain subject to approvals by the Boards of Directors
of Enbridge and Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP), as well as receipt of various regulatory approvals
and permits in both Canada and the United States. Anticipated in-service timing for the Line 4
Extension is late 2008, and for Alberta Clipper is late 2009 to mid-2010, subject to finalization
of industrys preference. To achieve this timing, Enbridge will immediately commence long lead-time
activities, such as finalizing steel pipe commitments, public consultation, preparatory work for
right-of-way and working space access agreements and permits.
The Alberta Clipper Project involves the construction of a new 36-inch diameter 990-mile
(1590-kilometre) crude line from Hardisty, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, primarily following
Enbridges existing right-of-way. Initial capacity will be 450,000 barrels per day, with ultimate
capacity available of up to 800,000 barrels per day. To balance the increased capacity into
Superior, a low cost expansion of the 42-inch Southern Access line to Chicago will be undertaken at
an estimated cost of approximately US$0.1 billion. The Southern Access project is being developed
in two stages providing 146,000 barrels per day by the first quarter 2008 and another 254,000
barrels per day by the first quarter of 2009. Southern Access is expandable to 1,200,000 barrels
per day with expansions timed concurrently with the Alberta Clipper project. The Canadian segment
of Alberta Clipper is expected to cost approximately Cdn$1.5 billion and the U.S. segment, to be
undertaken by EEP, is expected to cost approximately US$0.8 billion.

Enbridges Line 4 Extension Project is designed to eliminate a potential capacity bottleneck on the
mainline system between Edmonton, Alberta and Hardisty, Alberta. The project involves the
construction of 85 miles (136 kilometres) of 36-inch segments that will connect existing idle
48-inch pipe segments between Edmonton and Hardisty and move the origination point of Enbridges
current highest capacity line, Line 4, from Hardisty back to Edmonton. The capacity of the Line 4
Extension will be 880,000 barrels per day to match current Line 4 capacity.
The Alberta Clipper Project and the Line 4 Extension will be integrated with, and form part of the
existing Enbridge system in Canada, and the EEP Lakehead system in the U.S.
Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enbridge commented, The Alberta
Clipper Project is the latest in a suite of alternatives that Enbridge has under development to
create value for producers and our shippers as Western Canadian oil sands production expands and
seeks new markets. Because of its integration with our existing mainline system and the on-going
Southern Access project, Alberta Clipper provides a low cost solution for up to 800,000 barrels per
day of the expected production growth, with relatively low execution risk. The addition of a full
new line will provide both a significant increase in capacity and also increased flexibility to
align the system with a range of synthetic crude and blended bitumen production slates. The timing
has been accelerated to respond to shipper priorities for increased access to U.S. markets,
reflecting recently announced U.S. refiner initiatives to invest in capability to process more
Canadian crude, which will benefit both Canadian producers and U.S. consumers.
Alberta Clipper will be our largest project ever, and one we are well prepared to successfully
build. We have entered into standby arrangements with a variety of material suppliers and
contractors to ensure availability of resources at reasonable cost, as well as building up our own
internal staff and project management processes.
