EN4 – Indirect energy consumption by primary source.
Our Impacts
Our Liquids Pipeline systems in Canada and the U.S. primarily use electrical pumps, while our natural gas gathering and transmission systems mainly use natural gas as fuel for the compressors that move the gas along the pipeline. In Alberta, about nine per cent of Enbridge’s pipeline electricity requirement is supplied by the Magrath wind power project, of which Enbridge Income Fund owns 33.3 per cent. Enbridge’s gas distribution systems in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and New York state are powered by electricity and natural gas. And we use diesel fuel and natural gas to drive pumps in remote locations along the Enbridge Norman Wells system in the Northwest Territories.
