<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Enbridge to undertake $300&nbsp;million Montana-Alberta Tie-Line power transmission project</B>

</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>CALGARY, Alberta, August&nbsp;16, 2011 &#151; </B>Enbridge Inc. (TSX, NYSE: ENB) announced today that it
has entered into an arrangement agreement with Tonbridge Power Inc., and related lock-up agreements
with Tonbridge directors, management and its major shareholder. The agreement is subject to
approval by not less than two-thirds of Tonbridge common shares voted at a special meeting expected
to be held on September&nbsp;26, 2011 and to receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Holders of more
than 20% of the Tonbridge common shares have agreed to vote in favour of the transaction.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Enbridge will offer to acquire all outstanding common shares of Tonbridge for $20&nbsp;million
through a plan of arrangement, and to repay approximately $50&nbsp;million of debt incurred in the
development of the Montana-Alberta Tie-Line (MATL)&nbsp;power transmission project being developed by
Tonbridge. Enbridge will be entitled to receive approximately $9&nbsp;million in a combination of cash
and warrants if the arrangement is not completed in certain circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Following the acquisition, Enbridge will inject further funding to complete the first 300
megawatt (MW)&nbsp;phase of MATL as well as a low cost expansion to 550-600 MW. The total cost to
Enbridge for both phases of MATL is expected to be approximately $300&nbsp;million, of which
approximately half is being funded through a low cost 30-year loan from the Western Area Power
Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">MATL is a 345-kilometer transmission line from Great Falls, Montana to Lethbridge, Alberta,
designed to take advantage of a growing supply of electric power in Montana, including green power
production, and the buoyant power demand of Alberta. Required permits for the first phase of MATL
have been obtained and the project has secured long-term, take-or-pay contracts for the system&#146;s
entire northbound capacity. In addition, Tonbridge also has a 200-kilometer southern extension of
MATL, the Green Line, under development.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;The MATL project is the first step in Enbridge&#146;s plans to develop a power transmission growth
platform,&#148; said J. Richard Bird, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate
Development of Enbridge. &#147;Power transmission fits well with Enbridge&#146;s overall energy
infrastructure value proposition, typically involving long-lived assets with stable cash flows and
earnings. The transmission industry growth fundamentals are strong, with significant North America
wide investment required to replace aging infrastructure, address grid bottlenecks and tie
renewable power projects to more distant markets. The local fundamentals of the MATL project are
particularly strong and meet the criteria we established for our initial entry point investment.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Added Mr.&nbsp;Bird, &#147;The project comes with an established project development team which, with support
from Enbridge&#146;s Major Projects execution group and our financial resources, will be well positioned
to develop the existing Tonbridge opportunities under the Enbridge banner, as well as to support
other transmission development opportunities Enbridge is examining. We welcome this team to
Enbridge.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Commercial support for the project from both Canadian oil producers and Asian markets reinforces
the international importance of the project to Canada &#151; facilitating access to world markets and
international pricing for Canada&#146;s most valuable non-renewable resource,&#148; said Janet Holder,
Enbridge&#146;s Executive Vice President, Western Access. &#147;This support demonstrates the need for
Northern Gateway and is a major step forward for the Project.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Northern Gateway will link two of Canada&#146;s most important competitive strengths: our tremendous
petroleum reserves and our Pacific advantage &#151; safe deepwater ports that are close to the growing
markets of the Pacific Rim. The project has the potential to move Canada into receiving premium
prices in the global energy marketplace, rather than the landlocked, one customer price-taker it is
today.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Northern Gateway would provide a tremendous increase in productivity, a $270&nbsp;billion increase in
Canadian GDP over 30&nbsp;years, that would be felt not just in Alberta, B.C. and Western Canada, but
across the entire country for decades to come,&#148; said Ms.&nbsp;Holder.

terminal. The proposed project, currently under regulatory review, would transport 525,000 barrels
per day (bpd)&nbsp;of oil for export and import 193,000 bpd of condensate.
