Enbridge’s Line 5 relocation project is ready to go. For the Midwest and its Native communities, it brings a future of opportunities.
We have been in the Midwest for more than 70 years, safely connecting millions of people to the energy they rely on every day, fueling quality of life through our North American natural gas, oil or renewable power networks and our growing European offshore wind portfolio. We’re investing in modern energy delivery infrastructure to sustain access to secure, affordable energy and building on two decades of experience in renewable energy to advance new technologies including wind and solar power, hydrogen, renewable natural gas and carbon capture and storage. We’re committed to reducing the carbon footprint of the energy we deliver, and to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from our operations by 20501, 2.
