NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge launches online pipeline emergency training for first responders
CALGARY, Alberta and HOUSTON (May 1, 2013) – Enbridge Inc. (NYSE/TSX:ENB) (Enbridge) and Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:EEP) (the Partnership) today announced the successful launch of an online portal to offer free, customized pipeline emergency training to first responder organizations located along Enbridge’s and the Partnership’s more than 50,000 miles of onshore pipelines comprising several pipeline systems in the United States and Canada.
The program material is based on Pipeline Emergencies, an industry-leading pipeline emergency response training program developed by the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM). The NASFM materials were adapted to provide information specific to pipelines operated by Enbridge and the Partnership.
“While our overarching goal continues to be zero incidents, Enbridge believes that, as prudent pipeline operators and responsible neighbors, we must take the extra step to reach out to emergency response organizations located near our North American pipelines to offer specific information about the products we transport and the most effective tactics for responding to a pipeline emergency,” said Steve Wuori, President, Enbridge Liquids Pipelines.
The online training program features 3-D, interactive graphics to help first responders better visualize response to pipeline incidents. Content includes the basics of natural gas and crude oil pipeline operations, how to safely handle products transported by pipelines, including those operated by Enbridge, pipeline emergency response tactics and pipeline emergency scenarios.
“The real value of the Enbridge online pipeline emergency training, which is provided at no cost to emergency responders, is that it provides relevant, accurate information about all pipelines as well as specific information about the products transported in Enbridge’s natural gas, crude oil and gas liquids pipelines,” added Mark Maki, President, Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P.
Since December 2012, more than 8,000 emergency response agencies in the United States and Canada have been provided with access to the online program. Additionally, in 2013, Enbridge will roll-out an in-person outreach component of the program targeting 911 dispatch centers covering the areas in which we operate and fire departments in close proximity to our pipelines and facilities. As of April 19, 2013, 438 emergency responders, Enbridge employees, and other interested parties have registered to access the online training; 186 have completed the training.
“The National Association of State Fire Marshals is pleased to work with Enbridge and the pipeline industry to provide responders with the knowledge they need to be safe when responding to a pipeline incident,” said Philip Oakes, National Program Director/Trainer for the National Association of State Fire Marshals. “Thanks to Enbridge’s commitment to safety and the use of the best-in-class Pipeline Emergencies curriculum, responders have the information and training needed to be prepared for such an event.”
Information on accessing the training program can be obtained by sending an email to USpublicawareness@enbridge.com or Cdnpublicawareness@enbridge.com. More information about Enbridge’s outreach to emergency responders can be found at: enbridge.com/ERinfo or enbridgeus.com/ERinfo.

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge poised to provide market access solutions, CEO Monaco tells shareholders at annual meeting
Enbridge announces election of directors
CALGARY, Alberta (May 8, 2013) – Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) is optimally positioned to provide critical market access solutions to the North American energy landscape in the coming years, President and Chief Executive Officer Al Monaco told shareholders during Enbridge’s annual general meeting today in Calgary.
While reporting another year of strong corporate performance, Mr. Monaco said Enbridge is poised to connect growing energy supply with key North American markets by expanding its network of liquids pipelines infrastructure in the near future.
Existing pipeline bottlenecks, and the resulting Canadian crude oil discounts, “can be solved by a reconfiguration of the North American pipeline grid, where crude moves from inland markets to coastal markets — and Enbridge is right in the middle of this transformation,” said Mr. Monaco.
Between now and 2016, Enbridge expects to roll out a series of major projects that will expand what is already the most complex crude oil pipeline system in the world — Enbridge’s Eastern Access program to the U.S. Midwest and eastern Canada; the U.S. Gulf Coast Access program with 585,000 bpd of incremental capacity from the Chicago area; additional capacity to the U.S. Midwest and eastern Canada as part of the Light Oil Access initiative; and development of the Eastern Gulf project from the U.S. Midwest to the eastern Gulf Coast.
Additionally, Enbridge is proposing to build the Northern Gateway project, in order to connect Canadian supply with robust Asian demand.
All told, said Mr. Monaco, Enbridge has committed billions to add roughly 1.7 million bpd of new market access to address the Canadian crude oil pricing issue.
“In terms of future growth, 2012 was our most successful year. We secured more than $15 billion of new investments (in 2012), bringing our inventory of secured projects to $28 billion,” he said. “These are not just concepts — they’re real projects that we’ll put into service in the coming years.”
Enbridge had another exceptional year in 2012, with adjusted earnings coming in at $1.62 per share — 11 per cent over 2011, extending the company’s record of growth.
Enbridge increased its dividend by 12 per cent, marking the company’s 18th consecutive annual increase — “a remarkable record, and one that illustrates the strength of our business model,” remarked Mr. Monaco — while total shareholder return was 16 per cent, well in excess of the broader market.
Enbridge’s 10-year annual total return of 19 per cent more than doubled the 9 per cent Composite TSX return.
Enbridge’s other core businesses — gas transportation and distribution, green energy power generation, power transmission, and Canadian midstream natural gas — continued to grow in 2012. Enbridge is Canada’s largest generator of solar energy and 2nd largest wind power generator.
Mr. Monaco reiterated Enbridge’s ongoing commitment to community and environmental sustainability — noting the company’s heightened focus on resolving stakeholder concerns, the addition of safety measures that exceed regulatory requirements, and partnerships with First Nations.
“We believe that when we work in a community, we’re part of it — and that means we invest in that community,” said Mr. Monaco. “We also need to reduce our industry’s environmental footprint. That’s why our first choice is always to use existing infrastructure — to reverse or repurpose pipelines, or to expand along existing rights of way to minimize our impact on communities and on the environment.
“And as we grow, we remain committed to sustainability through our Neutral Footprint program,” he said. “We’re on track with our goals of planting a tree for every tree we remove; conserving an acre for every acre we permanently impact; and generating a kilowatt hour of renewable energy for every kilowatt hour of additional power we consume.”
Mr. Monaco also recognized the sizeable contributions of Pat Daniel, who retired as Enbridge’s CEO in September 2012. “Pat built a very strong foundation for our Company, with many accomplishments over his tenure,” said Mr. Monaco. “Our goal now is to build on that success.”
Election of Directors
Enbridge also announced that the nominees listed in the management information circular dated March 5, 2013 were elected as directors of Enbridge Inc.
