NEWS RELEASE

Enbridge Board recommends 2-for-1 stock split

CALGARY, Alberta, March 1, 2005 — Enbridge Inc. today announced that its Board of Directors will recommend that shareholders approve a two-for-one stock split at the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders on May 5, 2005. In addition to shareholder approval, the stock split is subject to required regulatory approvals. Upon completion of the stock split, the number of outstanding shares would double from approximately 174 million to 348 million. Enbridge’s last stock split occurred in May 1999.

“This proposed stock split reflects the Board’s and Management’s continued confidence in Enbridge’s business fundamentals,” said Enbridge President & Chief Executive Officer Patrick D. Daniel. “Enbridge shares would be more accessible to retail shareholders, which should broaden Enbridge’s shareholder base and enhance liquidity and trading of our common shares.”

If approved by shareholders on May 5, 2005, and subject to regulatory approvals, the record date for the stock split is expected to be May 20, 2005. As of that date, each shareholder of record would receive one additional common share for each common share he or she holds. Subject to the preceding approvals and pursuant to the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange, Enbridge’s common shares would commence trading on a divided basis at the opening of business on or about May 18, 2005, which is the second trading day preceding the record date. Subject to similar approvals, the trading of the common shares on a divided basis on the New York Stock Exchange would occur on or about May 18 as well.

Enbridge will announce the results of the shareholder vote in respect of the proposed stock split on May 5, following the meeting and vote. If approved, it is anticipated that new Enbridge stock certificates would be mailed approximately May 27, 2005.
