We are currently involved in four wind power projects, with a combined capacity of 270 MW.
Our Targets
Enbridge believes that to achieve a consistently strong environmental performance – a key indicator of success – we must set clear goals, find new and better ways to operate, stay on top of developing trends, and constantly challenge ourselves to improve. Following are some of the quantitative and qualitative targets that will help us further build our reputation for environmental leadership.
  • Continue to invest in wind power and new energy technology to further our CSR strategy and capitalize on opportunities for economically attractive growth in the emerging energy sector.
  • Reduce our Canadian direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to 20 per cent below 1990 levels by 2010.
  • Expand GHG reporting to include all our international operations and sponsored investments in the United States where we have operational control over CSR policies and procedures.
  • Prevent all spills and leaks from our energy transportation and distribution systems.
  • Conduct regular emergency response drills and simulations to test and improve procedures, and strive for continuous improvement in our understanding and management of security best practices.
 
OUR 2005 HIGHLIGHTS
  • In 2005, we achieved our corporate target to reduce our direct Canadian GHG emissions by 15 per cent below 1990 levels.
  • In 2005, Liquids Pipelines recorded 70 spills totaling 9,825 barrels. The majority occurred and were contained within the bounds of our fenced industrial facilities.
  • For the first time, we are reporting on our Spanish GHG emissions and it is our intention to complete an inventory of GHG emissions from our Colombian and United States operations as soon as possible.
  • We are currently involved in four wind power projects in Canada that will have a combined capacity of 270 megawatts.
  • In 2005, we conducted about 190 emergency response exercises in Canada and the United States.
