NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge
and RES Canada team up on 99 MW Greenwich Wind
Energy Project
CALGARY, ALBERTA and MONTREAL, QUEBEC (March 31, 2010) Enbridge Inc. (TSX, NYSE: ENB)
and Renewable Energy Systems Canada Inc. (RES Canada), an affiliate of RES Americas, announced
today that they have entered into an agreement to construct and own a 99-megawatt (MW) wind energy
project on the northern shore of Lake Superior, in Ontario, in which Enbridge has a majority
interest. The project called the Greenwich Wind Energy Project is a limited partnership that
is jointly owned by Enbridge and RES Canada. RES Canada will construct the project under contract
to the partnership. Investment in the project by both parties is approximately $275 million.
The project complements Enbridges growing portfolio of green energy assets that include interests
in wind, solar, hybrid fuel cells and waste heat recovery facilities. At 99 MW, it brings the
Companys total generating capacity (in operation and under construction) to more than 560 MW
enough to meet the energy needs of approximately 180,000 homes.
Were delighted to again partner with RES Canada in developing this project, said Patrick D.
Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Enbridge Inc. Our investments in renewable energy
align very well with our objective to profitably grow our energy infrastructure business and to
deliver superior returns to shareholders. With the Greenwich Wind Energy Project, we will have
interests in seven renewable power facilities, four of which are in Ontario our Greenwich,
Talbot and Ontario wind projects, and our Sarnia Solar Project. Clearly, Enbridge, Ontarians and
all Canadians are benefitting from the Government of Ontarios leadership and vision in supporting
renewable energy investment in the Province.
In addition to boosting our bottom line, renewable investments support our standing as a leading
environmentally sustainable company, Mr. Daniel added. This project represents a significant
step in reaching our goal of generating a kilowatt of renewable energy for every kilowatt our
operations consume.
RES Americas is a world-leading, fully-integrated renewable energy player in development,
engineering, procurement and construction, and operating services. RES Americas has over 4,100 MW
in construction projects, representing approximately 10 per cent of the U.S. wind energy capacity
to date. Its affiliate, RES Canada, has been active since 2003, and brings RES 28 years of wind
experience to the Canadian wind industry.

RES Canada is pleased to participate in the further expansion of our successful partnership with
Enbridge in Canada. The Greenwich project comes on the heels of a similar, successful collaboration
the Talbot Wind Energy Project and increases the vast benefits that renewable wind energy
will bring to the region, said Craig Mataczynski, President of RES Canada. We are committed to
developing and constructing innovative renewable energy projects in Canada to create a more
sustainable future.
The Greenwich Wind Energy Project, is expected to reach substantial completion in late 2011 and
produce enough clean wind energy to power 33,000 average Canadian homes. It will comprise 43
Siemens SWT-2.3-101 MW wind turbines and, under the terms of the agreement, will be constructed by
RES Canada under a fixed price, turnkey, engineering, procurement and construction agreement.
Siemens will provide operations and maintenance services for the wind turbines under a five-year,
fixed-price agreement. The project will deliver energy to the Ontario Power Authority under a
Renewable Energy Supply (RES) III 20-year power purchase agreement.
The Greenwich Wind Energy Project marks RES Canadas third fully integrated Canadian wind energy
project to be both developed and constructed by RES Canada. Enbridge and RES Canada expect the
project will create an estimated 300 construction jobs. It will also generate revenue for
businesses in the region in that Enbridge and RES Canada will spend up to $50 million in additional
capital costs and more than $7 million a year in operating expenditures. The Municipality will also
benefit in that it will receive approximately $72,000 in tax payments each year.
