Enbridge Quick Facts



At Enbridge, our goal is to be the first-choice energy delivery company in North America and beyond—for customers, communities, investors, regulators and policymakers, and employees.

Established in 1949, Enbridge delivers the energy that fuels quality of life. We safely connect millions of people around the world to the energy they rely on every day through our four core businessesliquids pipelines, natural gas pipelines, gas utilities and storage, and renewable energy.

As a diversified energy company, we are uniquely positioned to help accelerate the global transition to a cleaner energy future, and we’re doing it in ways that are ethical, sustainable and socially responsible. We’re pioneering new low-carbon energy technologies. We’re focused on reducing the carbon footprint of the energy we deliver. And we’re committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

We also recognize the vital importance of a secure, reliable and affordable supply of energy.


We move about 30% of the crude oil produced in North America, we transport nearly 20% of the natural gas consumed in the U.S., and we operate North America’s largest natural gas utility by volume. Enbridge was an early investor in renewable energy, and we have a growing offshore wind portfolio.

Headquartered in Calgary, Canada with major offices in Houston, Edmonton, Toronto, Duluth, MN, Superior, WI, and Chatham, ON, Enbridge has a workforce of more than 12,000 people, primarily in the U.S. and Canada.
