Enbridge Ontario wind power project update 

Enbridge announced today the Ontario Ministry of the Environment has confirmed that the Environmental Screening Report related to the Company’s 182 megawatt wind power project in Kincardine, Ontario has been accepted and the project will not be elevated to an individual Environmental Assessment. Enbridge believes this is a significant step towards construction of the wind farm.

Enbridge Ontario Wind Power has also received zoning approvals for the entire wind power project from both the Municipality of Kincardine and Bruce County. An Ontario Municipal Board hearing to address appeals related to the specific turbine sites is scheduled to begin on April 23, 2007.

The approximately $0.5 billion project will consist of 110 wind turbine generators, each capable of producing 1,650 kilowatts. The project is planned to produce enough renewable energy to supply up to 64,000 Ontario homes. Enbridge has executed a 20-year electricity purchase agreement with the Ontario Power Authority for all the power generated.
