Open Season Initiated For Proposed Enbridge Inc. LaCrosse Pipeline

Houston, TX And Calgary, Alberta - The non-binding Open Season for the proposed Enbridge Inc. LaCrosse Pipeline, an interstate pipeline to transport natural gas from Carthage, Texas, to Washington Parish in Southeastern Louisiana, was launched recently.

Open Season information for the proposed pipeline, to be constructed and operated by an Enbridge U.S. affiliate, is available at http://lacrosse.enbridgeUS.com. The non-binding Open Season will run through May 15, 2009. Information received during the non-binding Open Season will be used to finalize design and final capacity for the proposed project.

The proposed pipeline would interconnect with at least five to six major interstate pipelines along this route and could include up to as many as 12 pipeline interconnections, depending on shipper interest. Enbridge also is exploring the possibility of extending the pipeline to Florida Gas Transmission's Station 10 near Wiggins, Mississippi. The proposed project is expected to be completed in late 2011 or early 2012.
