Pipeline-based energy transport and renewables generation

Enbridge builds and operates energy infrastructure in North America, focusing on the transportation, distribution, and generation of energy. It runs a vast network of pipelines that move crude oil and natural gas from production sites to refineries and customers, and it also generates renewable energy from wind and solar projects. The company earns money mainly through long-term fees charged for transporting and distributing energy, with additional income from its renewable assets and related services. Compared with peers, Enbridge combines a large, integrated pipeline network with a growing portfolio of renewable generation, underpinned by long-term contracts that provide predictable revenue. Its commitments to safety and sustainability, including a goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, guide its operations and corporate strategy. Overall, Enbridge aims to keep energy flowing safely and reliably while supporting the transition to cleaner energy.
