BUSINESS OVERVIEW | BUSINESS OVERVIEW The terms "we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge" as used in this report refer collectively to Enbridge Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity within Enbridge. Enbridge is a publicly traded energy transportation and distribution company. We conduct our business through five business segments: Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Midstream, Gas Distribution and Storage, Renewable Power Generation, and Energy Services. These reporting segments are strategic business units established by senior management to facilitate the achievement of our long-term objectives, to aid in resource allocation decisions and to assess operational performance. LIQUIDS PIPELINES Liquids Pipelines consists of pipelines and terminals in Canada and the United States (US) that transport and export various grades of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons, including the Mainline System, Regional Oil Sands System, Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent, and Other.

GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM Gas Transmission and Midstream consists of our investments in natural gas pipelines and gathering and processing facilities in Canada and the US, including US Gas Transmission, Canadian Gas Transmission, US Midstream, and Other. This segment also includes certain investments in renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities. GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE Gas Distribution and Storage consists of our natural gas utility operations, the core of which is Enbridge Gas Inc.

RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION Renewable Power Generation consists primarily of investments in wind and solar assets, as well as geothermal, waste heat recovery, and transmission assets. In North America, assets are primarily located in the provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Québec, and in the states of Colorado, Texas, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia. We also hold interests in offshore wind facilities in operation, under construction and in active development in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. This segment also includes Tri Global Energy, LLC (TGE) which was acquired on September 27, 2022 (Note 8).
