NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge to Hold Binding Open Season for Proposed LaCrosse Pipeline
HOUSTON and CALGARY, Alberta (November 13, 2009) Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) today
announced it will conduct a binding Open Season beginning Friday, November 13, 2009, for its
LaCrosse pipeline designed to transport natural gas from Carthage, Texas, to multiple delivery
points in Southeastern Louisiana.
Construction of the proposed 340-mile LaCrosse Pipeline will occur in two phases. In Phase I,
Enbridge will construct and place in service the 42- and 36-inch pipeline segments from the
Enbridge Carthage Hub to Point Coupee Parish, Louisiana and a 24-inch segment extending from Point
Coupee Parish to Petrologistics, LLCs Choctaw Storage facility in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. In
Phase II, LaCrosse Pipeline will construct and place in service the pipeline segment from Point
Coupee Parish, Louisiana to an interconnection with Southern Natural Gas Company in Washington
Parish, Louisiana. The planned in-service dates will be phased to meet customer needs starting
January 2012 through March 2013.
We are in the process of negotiating third party agreements that will bring total capacity
commitments to exceed 1.0 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d), and have additional indications of
interest that could exceed 1.3 bcf/d, said Terrance L. McGill, President, Enbridge Energy Company,
Inc. We have also secured engineering and environmental firms and survey permission from more than
80 percent of affected landowners. We are moving forward to initiate regulatory approvals including
application to U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and expect to place Phase 1 of the
LaCrosse Pipeline in service during the first quarter of 2012.
The binding Open Season will run through Monday, November 23, 2009. Information received during the
binding Open Season will be used to finalize design and final capacity for the proposed project.
Capacity for those parties who have already executed precedent agreements will be preserved under
those agreements and will not be subject to allocation.
To participate in the Open Season, interested parties should visit the LaCrosse Pipeline website
(lacrosse.enbridgeus.com) and follow the link to Shipper Documents to find the Precedent Agreement

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge and RES Canada team up on 99 MW Talbot Wind Energy Project
CALGARY, ALBERTA and MONTREAL, QUEBEC (November 19, 2009) Enbridge Inc (TSX, NYSE: ENB) and
Renewable Energy Systems Canada Inc. (RES Canada) an affiliate of RES Americas, announced today
that they have entered into an agreement to develop a 99 megawatt (MW) wind energy project near
Chatham, Ontario in which Enbridge will have a majority interest. The total investment in the
project by both parties is approximately $285 million. The Project will be structured as a limited
partnership owned by Enbridge and RES Canada.
Construction of the project will be undertaken by RES Canada under contract to the partnership.
The positive steps the Ontario government is taking to encourage and support a thriving renewable
energy industry, combined with our existing presence through the 190 MW Enbridge Ontario Wind
Project, make the Talbot Wind Energy Project an excellent fit with Enbridges strategy to expand
its renewable energy platform across Canada and the U.S., said Patrick D. Daniel, President and
Chief Executive Officer, Enbridge Inc. Investing in renewable energy diversifies our business and
further strengthens our financial position with stable cash flow, attractive returns and reduced
business risk.
The Talbot Wind Energy Project will advance Enbridges commitment to an environmentally neutral
footprint by 2015 while generating attractive economics. Talbot Wind Energy is expected to avoid
the emission of approximately 106,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, and represents a
significant step forward in our objective of generating a kilowatt of renewable energy for every
kilowatt consumed by our operations, said Mr. Daniel.
The Talbot Wind Energy Project is expected to be completed in December 2010 and will produce enough
clean wind energy to power 33,000 average Canadian homes. It utilizes 43 Siemens 2.3 MW wind
turbines and, under the terms of the agreement, will be constructed by RES Canada under a fixed
price, turnkey, engineering, procurement and construction agreement. Siemens will provide
operations and maintenance services for the wind turbines under a five year, fixed price agreement.
The Talbot Wind Energy Project will deliver energy to the Ontario Power Authority under a Renewable
Energy Supply (RES) III 20-year power purchase agreement.
The Talbot Wind Energy project will complement Enbridges growing portfolio of green energy assets
including four existing wind power projects and one solar project, bringing Enbridges
1
combined
capacity to 380 megawatts. Enbridges share of the power generated by its wind facilities in
Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan provides enough green energy to meet the equivalent of 35 per
cent of the power requirements of the Companys Canadian crude oil mainline. Enbridge also has
interests in emissions-free hybrid fuel cell technology and waste heat recovery facilities.
RES Americas is a world leading, vertically integrated wind energy player in development,
engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), and operating services. RES Americas has over
4,000 MW in construction projects, representing approximately 14 per cent of the U.S. wind energy
capacity to date. RES Canada has been active since 2003, and brings RES 25 years of wind
experience to the Canadian wind industry.
RES Canada is excited to be working with Enbridge, the Ontario Power Authority and local
contractors to help meet Ontarios green energy goals, said Craig Mataczynski, President of RES
Canada. The Talbot project reflects the Companys commitment to bringing well engineered, quality
projects and competitively priced renewable energy to the Province.
The Talbot Wind Energy Project marks RES Canadas arrival in the Canadian renewables market with
the first fully integrated wind project which was developed and will be constructed by RES Canada.
The partners expect the project will create an estimated 300 construction jobs and eight direct
operation jobs. The Talbot Wind Energy Project will generate revenue for businesses in the region,
spending up to $50 million in capital expenditure and more than $7 million a year in operating
expenditures. The Municipality will also benefit, receiving approximately $280,000 in tax payments
each year.
Talbot Wind Energy Project at a glance:
Capacity peak: approx. 98,900 kilowatts
Turbines: 43 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines
Annual yield: around 300,000 MWh (corresponding to the annual consumption of around 33,000 households)
CO2 saving: approx. 106,600 tonnes per year
