1 Liquids Pipelines operating highlights include the 16.6% owned Lakehead System and wholly owned liquids pipelines operations excluding Spearhead Pipeline and Athabasca Pipeline.
2 Enbridge Offshore Pipelines was purchased on December 31, 2004.
3 In 2004, Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) and other gas distribution operations changed their fiscal year ends from September 30 to December 31 to be consistent with Enbridge. Consequently, highlights of Gas Distribution and Services for 2004 include the 15-month period ended December 31. Gas Distribution and Services volumes and the number of active customers are derived from the aggregate system supply and direct purchase gas supply arrangements.
4 Degree day deficiency is a measure of coldness. It is calculated by accumulating for each day in the period the total number of degrees each day by which the daily mean temperature falls below 18 degrees Celsius. The figures given are those accumulated in the Greater Toronto Area.
