Enbridge Gas Distribution Applies to Adjusts Rates
TORONTO, ONTARIO — (March 10, 2015) – Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. (Enbridge) has applied to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to decrease its rates effective April 1, 2015. Enbridge submits rate adjustment applications every three months, and they are reviewed and approved by the OEB.
If approved, typical residential customers* who buy their gas supply from Enbridge will see a total bill decrease of about 10 per cent or about $100 a year. As a result, their total bill will be about $934 a year. Natural gas continues to provide the best value to customers, with the typical customer’s total annual bill still less than it was 10 years ago.
Jamie LeBlanc, Director of Energy Supply and Policy at Enbridge, says that despite the cold winter, natural gas supply costs remained relatively stable this winter. “The decrease is due to lower natural gas prices. Gas supply costs are passed through to customers without any mark-up – they pay what we pay.”

Enbridge reminds customers that there are options to help manage energy bills:
| • | For qualifying customers: |
| • | Enbridge funds the OEB’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) which provides emergency financial assistance towards past due energy bills. |
| • | The Home Winterproofing Program helps eligible low-income customers lower their energy costs and make their homes healthier and more energy efficient. Qualifying customers may have free energy efficiency upgrades, such as insulation, installed to reduce their energy costs. Learn more at enbridgegas.com/winterproofing. |
| • | Customers who are having trouble paying their bills should call Enbridge as soon as possible to set up payment arrangements. |
| • | Customers can find more energy efficiency tips at enbridgegas.com/energyefficiency. |

Enbridge Reports on Progress and Challenges in Corporate Social Responsibility Performance
CALGARY, ALBERTA (March 26, 2015) — Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) is making strides in reaching its goal of being an industry leader in safety and reliability, and continuing to build social and environmental considerations into its planning and decision-making, according to its 2014 annual report on corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance.
“Our purpose as a company is to fuel people’s quality of life by delivering energy to where North Americans need it — reliably, efficiently and with the safety of our employees, the public and the environment in mind,” said President and CEO Al Monaco.
“Our annual CSR report helps us hold ourselves accountable for our performance and for how we are responding to the social, economic and environmental factors driving our business. It also outlines areas where we have more work to do and the approach we’re taking to get better, such as deepening our engagement with stakeholders and communities where we operate.”
The report shows Enbridge is making progress toward its goal of industry leadership in pipeline safety and operational reliability.
In 2014, for example, the Company invested more than $1.14 billion in system integrity and leak detection programs throughout its Liquids Pipelines Business Segment’s operations. During the same period, spill volumes from Enbridge’s liquids pipelines decreased from 2013 and 2012 levels.
“Safety and environmental protection is our number one priority in all our operations. No single incident will ever be acceptable and that’s why we continuously invest in new integrity management technology and advancements in leak detection,” said Mr. Monaco.
Enbridge’s 2014 CSR Report reflects the Company’s most rigorous approach to-date to reporting on topics identified as priorities by stakeholders. As a result, it includes more information on Enbridge’s approach to sustainability challenges such as climate change, water protection, supply chain management, community economic benefits, and Aboriginal and Native American rights and engagement.
