CEO COMMENT
Greg Ebel, president and CEO commented the following:
“With the changing dynamics we see in today’s energy sector, our all-of-the-above approach to energy and incumbent asset footprint positions us to capitalize on growing energy demand. This past year, Enbridge continued to benefit from our size and capacity, securing $14 billion of projects across our four businesses. Sanctioned projects addressed a range of energy demand themes, advancing incremental WCSB egress, expanding natural gas transmission capacity in the U.S. Northeast, bolstering our natural gas storage businesses on the Gulf Coast and in British Columbia, and building on our partnership with Meta in the power space. I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made towards the commitments laid out last Enbridge Day, ahead of the timelines shared just under a year ago. Today, our total secured backlog sits at $39 billion, up approximately 35% since Enbridge Day, and we’ll continue to advance our suite of opportunities across natural gas, liquids, and renewable power to meet growing energy demand in North America and beyond.
“Despite tariffs and geopolitical tension, 2025 showcased our low-risk commercial framework delivering predictable results amid macroeconomic uncertainty. We’re proud to announce that Enbridge has once again achieved record EBITDA and DCF per share, marking the 20th consecutive year of achieving or exceeding financial guidance.
“In Liquids, Mainline volumes averaged 3.1 MMbpd in 2025, and the system was apportioned for nine months of the year. This quarter we sanctioned Mainline Optimization Phase 1, which will add 150 kbpd of incremental WCSB egress and is expected to enter service in 2027. The project includes a 100 kpbd expansion of our Flanagan South Pipeline system, adding critical full-path service to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Along with the expansion of FSP, our existing customers on that system also extended the majority of their existing contracts beyond 2040, showcasing long-term demand for our integrated system. Despite the uncertainty created by the events in Venezuela, our shippers have made it clear they remain interested in advancing further egress along the Mainline from Canada down to the Gulf Coast. The opportunity to deliver Mainline Optimization Phase 2 and create cost effective incremental egress in 2028 continues to advance with our customers.
“In Gas Transmission, alongside our Whistler Parent JV partners, we sanctioned Bay Runner, an extension of the Whistler Pipeline. We continue to advance the pipeline that will serve the Rio Grande LNG facility, leveraging a combination of the previously sanctioned Rio Bravo Pipeline and the Bay Runner project. These projects will serve up to 5.3 Bcf/d of the natural gas demand for the Rio Grande project, providing supply from the Agua Dulce hub. This follows the upsizing of the Eiger Express Pipeline in November, driven by growing demand for Permian natural gas egress capacity. We continue to advance over 50 data center opportunities across North America, requiring up to 10 Bcf/d of new takeaway capacity in close proximity to our existing Gas Transmission assets and expect to sanction additional projects supporting power generation and data centers in 2026 and the years ahead.
“In Gas Distribution, new rates have come into effect for both Enbridge Gas North Carolina and Utah, after each respective utility commission approved settlements filed in 2025. At Enbridge Gas Ohio, we filed a new rate case at the end of the year. We plan to continue to invest approximately $3 billion per year in growth capital across our four utilities, helping keep the systems operating safely and reliably into the future.
“In Renewable Power, we are sanctioning two new projects that advance our growing partnership with global technology companies. Cowboy Phase 1 is a 365 MW solar project and a 135 MW battery energy storage system, expandable up to 200 MW, in Wyoming. Easter will provide an additional 152 MW of onshore wind power in Texas to support Meta’s technology and data center operations. Both projects are secured by long-term power purchase agreements and are expected to be fully in service by 2027. We now have over 750 MW of power generation under construction to support Meta’s operations that will also add new generation to the grid.
“2025 was another milestone year for Enbridge and we are focused on capturing the next set of growth opportunities across the energy landscape. Our leverage remains within our 4.5x to 5.0x range and our annual investment capacity for additional growth projects is growing alongside the Company, now sitting between $10 billion and $11 billion. We have made significant progress towards the commitments laid out last Enbridge Day and will continue to win our share of attractive opportunities, positioning Enbridge as a first-choice investment opportunity.”
