Enbridge's economic impact on Saskatchewan
Tax revenue
Enbridge’s presence in the community fuels quality of life through ongoing tax revenue. In 2022:
- Enbridge paid $33.9 million in property tax across Saskatchewan for our pipelines and related facilities, such as storage facilities, pump stations, and compressor stations.
- Enbridge paid more than $28.5 million in corporate income tax, and $4.7 million in other taxes, across Saskatchewan.
- On a national scale, Enbridge paid $326.6 million in property tax, $236.4 million in corporate income tax, and $1.95 billion in other taxes (including carbon tax, payroll tax, fuel tax, and excise tax) across Canada, for a total of $2.51 billion.
This revenue can be used for schools, infrastructure (roads and bridges), health and wellness, recreation, transportation and other services that help strengthen the fabric of the community.
Economic spinoffs*
Enbridge’s ongoing operations, and planned projects, continue to stimulate local and regional economies. Through procurement spending, we’re helping to create indirect employment, support local businesses, and establish economic spinoffs. In 2022:

- Enbridge's operating and administrative expenditures in Saskatchewan, on such items as maintenance costs, equipment leases, power consumption, and field personnel salaries and wages, totaled $375 million.
- Across Canada, our capital expenditures totaled $2.2 billion, while our operating and administrative expenditures totaled $3.7 billion (including expenditures by our natural gas utilities).
