PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Enbridge is a leading North American energy infrastructure company. Our core businesses include Liquids Pipelines, which consists of
pipelines and terminals in Canada and the US that transport and export various grades of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons; GasTransmission and Midstream, which consists of investments in natural gas pipelines and gathering and processing facilities in Canada andthe US; Gas Distribution and Storage, which consists of natural gas utility operations that serve residential, commercial and industrial
customers in Ontario and Québec; and Renewable Power Generation, which consists primarily of investments in wind and solar assets, as
well as geothermal, waste heat recovery and transmission assets, in North America and Europe.
Enbridge is a public company, with common shares that trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)under the symbol ENB. We were incorporated on April 13, 1970 under the Companies Ordinance of the Northwest Territories and werecontinued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on December 15, 1987.
A more detailed description of each of our businesses and underlying assets is provided below under Business Segments.
CORPORATE VISION AND STRATEGY
VISIONOur primary purpose as a company is to fuel people’s quality of life in a safe, clean, and socially responsible manner. Our vision to be the
leading energy infrastructure company in North America and beyond supports this purpose. In pursuing this vision, we seek to play a critical
role in enabling the economic and social well-being of people across the world by providing access to affordable, reliable, and secure energy.Our infrastructure franchises transport, distribute, and generate energy, including liquids, natural gas, renewable power, and lower-carbonfuels. We recognize that the energy system is changing, and we aim to bridge to a cleaner energy future by investing in lower-carbonplatforms while ensuring the continuity and stability that the world requires through the transition.
Our investor value proposition is founded on our ability to deliver predictable cash flows and a growing stream of dividends year-over-year
through investment in, and efficient operation of, energy infrastructure assets that are strategically positioned between key supply basins and
strong demand-pull markets. Our assets are underpinned by long-term contracts, regulated cost-of-service tolling frameworks, powerpurchase agreements (PPAs), and other low-risk commercial arrangements.
In addition, we strive to be a leader in worker and public safety, ESG, stakeholder relations, customer service, community investment, andemployee engagement and satisfaction.
STRATEGY
Our strategy is underpinned by a deep understanding of energy supply and demand fundamentals. Through disciplined capital allocation that
is aligned with our outlook on energy markets, we have become an industry leader with a diversified portfolio across both conventional andlower-carbon energies. Our assets have reliably generated low-risk, resilient cash flows through many commodity and economic cycles.
8
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 8 of 286
In order to continue to be an industry leader and value creator going forward, we maintain a robust strategic planning approach. We regularly
conduct scenario and resiliency analysis on both our assets and business strategy. We test various value enhancement and maximization
options, and we regularly engage with our Board of Directors (the Board) to ensure alignment and maintain active oversight, includingupdates and discussions throughout the year and a dedicated annual Strategic Planning session. Going forward, we plan to use thiscomprehensive approach to guide our investment and portfolio decisions.
Predictable growth is a hallmark of our investor value proposition. Our robust portfolio of project development opportunities and ongoingefficiency improvements should help drive mid-single digit growth in our distributable cash flow per share for years to come. We remain
confident in our two-pronged growth strategy and expect to selectively invest in our diversified footprint of both conventional businesses and
complementary lower-carbon platforms, such as renewables, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Hydrogen (H2), and Renewable NaturalGas (RNG). Additionally, ESG continues to be integral to our strategy; we are committed to reducing our emissions, building lastingrelationships with our stakeholders, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
In alignment with our strategy, we progressed several of our priorities in 2022. For example:
•Our Liquids Pipelines business delivered record Mainline volumes, increased ownership in and operatorship of the Gray Oak pipeline,
and permitted a 2 million barrels (mmbl) storage expansion at Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center (EIEC), further bolstering our presence
in the US Gulf Coast and global export markets.
•Our Gas Transmission and Midstream business successfully expanded our secured capital program notably with the T-South ExpansionProgram and T-North Expansion Program and acquired an equity stake in Woodfibre LNG Limited Partnership to capitalize on increasingglobal gas demand and supporting coal-to-gas conversions that are expected to help lower global energy emissions.
•Our Gas Distribution and Storage business added over 45,000 new customers, filed the rate rebasing application for 2024-2028 whichproposes continuation of Incentive Rate-setting mechanisms, completed the Pathways to Net-Zero Emissions Study for Ontario, and
progressed construction of three RNG projects and development of a green hydrogen blending project at Gazifère Inc. (Gazifère), a
wholly-owned natural gas distribution company in Québec.
•Our Renewable Power Generation business accelerated its growth strategy with the acquisition of the renewable developer Tri GlobalEnergy, LLC (TGE), securing 3.9 gigawatts (GW) of conditionally sold renewable generation projects and an additional 3 GW indevelopment projects. In addition, the 480 megawatts (MW) Saint-Nazaire project, France’s first commercial-scale offshore wind in which
Enbridge holds a stake, became fully operational in 2022. We are continuing to advance construction of three additional offshore wind
projects in Europe.
•Our New Energy Technologies team, in collaboration with all of our business units, advanced our lower-carbon strategy, includingbuilding strategic partnerships to progress the Wabamun Carbon Hub in Alberta and lower-carbon hydrogen and ammonia productionand export facilities in the US Gulf Coast.
•We have made meaningful progress towards our ESG goals, advancing construction of ten solar self-power projects, signing a landmark
sale of a non-operating interest in pipelines in our Regional Oil Sands System to 23 Indigenous communities, and publishing our
Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan to further our engagement.
•We continue to recycle capital at attractive valuations, further optimizing and diversifying our portfolio. In addition, we are focused on
improving efficiencies to increase our profitability and competitiveness.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 9 of 286
These achievements are discussed in further detail in Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Looking ahead, our near-term strategic priorities remain similar to years past. As always, proactively advancing the safety of our assets,
protecting the environment, and maintaining reliability of our system remain our top priorities. We are focused on enhancing the value of ourexisting assets, capitalizing on our extensive infrastructure, prioritizing in-franchise organic growth and export-driven opportunities, anddeveloping lower-carbon platforms across all our businesses. We will continue to invest where we can advance our strategy, buildsustainable competitive advantage, and achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Our key strategic priorities include:
Safety and Operational Reliability
Safety and operational reliability are the foundation of our strategy. We strive to achieve and maintain industry leadership in all facets ofsafety - process, public, and personal - and ensure the highest standards of reliability and integrity across our system to protect ourcommunities and the environment.
Extend GrowthThe cornerstone of our growth lies in the successful execution of our slate of secured projects (currently $18 billion through 2028) on
schedule and at the lowest practical cost, while maintaining the highest standards for safety, quality, customer satisfaction, and
environmental and regulatory compliance. For a discussion of our current portfolio of capital projects refer to Part II. Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects.
Beyond that, we seek to continually identify additional high-quality growth opportunities across all our platforms. We expect to have sufficientequity self-funding capacity of about $5 to $6 billion per year to invest in growth without issuing any additional common equity andmaintaining key credit metrics. We will remain disciplined and will strive to deploy capital towards the best uses, prioritizing balance sheet
strength, investment in low capital intensity growth, and regulated utility or utility-like projects. We will carefully assess our remaining
investable capacity, deploying capital to what we believe are the most value-enhancing opportunities available to us, including further organicgrowth, complementary accretive "tuck-in" acquisitions that improve our competitive positioning, share repurchases, or further deleveragingof our balance sheet.
Looking ahead, we see strong utilization of our existing network and opportunities for future growth within each of our businesses. For
example, we expect that:
•Our liquids pipelines infrastructure will remain a vital connection between key supply basins and demand-pull markets such as the
refinery hubs in the US Midwest, eastern Canada, and the US Gulf Coast. The emergence of CCS offers the potential to provide newgrowth opportunities over the long term.
•Our natural gas transmission business will seek extension and expansion opportunities driven by new load demand from gas-fired powergeneration, industrial growth, and coastal LNG plants. Looking forward, blending RNG and H2 production into our system shouldenhance asset longevity and enable us to offer a differentiated lower-carbon solution to customers.
•Our gas distribution and storage business will continue to grow through productivity enhancements, modernization investments, and
facilities that blend H2 and RNG into the gas supply. We expect to continue to add customers over the next regulatory framework period
to 2028. Additionally, we expect to expand our offerings to customers, including additional demand-side management, as well asresiliency and hybrid heating programs.
10
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 10 of 286
•Our enhanced renewable power capabilities position us well to capitalize on strong renewables growth in Europe and North America and
execute on our large development program. We also plan to continue to progress our multi-year self-power program across our liquids
and gas systems.
In addition, we aim to drive growth through an ongoing focus on optimization, modernization, productivity, and efficiency across all ourbusinesses. Examples include: the application of drag-reducing agents and pump station modifications to optimize throughput on our liquidssystem, the execution of toll settlements and rate case filings to optimize revenue within our gas transmission franchises, the expansion oflower-carbon offerings to utility customers and investments in lower-carbon supply connections to the gas grid, and more generally, the
creation of sustainable cost savings across the organization through innovation, process improvement and/or system enhancements.
Maintain a Strong Balance Sheet
The maintenance of our balance sheet strength is critical to our strategy. Our financing strategies are designed to retain strong, investment-grade credit ratings to ensure we have the financial capacity to meet our capital funding needs and the flexibility to manage capital marketdisruptions. Our current secured capital program can be readily financed through internally generated cash flow and available balance sheetcapacity without issuance of additional common equity. We will seek to secure new growth within our "self-funded" equity model. In addition,
we continue to look at opportunities to monetize non-core assets at attractive valuations. For further discussion on our financing strategies
refer to Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital
Resources.
Disciplined Capital AllocationWe assess the latest fundamental trends, monitor the business landscape, and proactively conduct business development activities with the
goal of identifying an industry-leading capital deployment opportunity set. We screen, analyze, and assess opportunities using a disciplined
investment framework with the objective of effectively deploying capital to grow while achieving attractive risk-adjusted returns, within ourlow-risk "utility-like" business model.
All investment opportunities are evaluated based on their potential to advance our strategy, mitigate risks, support our ESG goals, and createadditional financial flexibility. Our primary emphasis in the near term is on low capital intensity opportunities to enhance returns in existingbusinesses (organic expansions and optimizations), modernization of our systems, and utility rate-based investments. We also remain
focused on larger projects where commercial constructs fit our investor value proposition and where we can effectively manage risks during
the execution phase. In addition, we continue to assess other value-enhancing opportunities, such as accretive acquisitions that cancomplement our portfolio.
In evaluating typical investment opportunities, we also consider other potential capital allocation alternatives. Other alternatives for capitaldeployment depend on our current outlook and include further dividend increases, further debt reduction, and/or share repurchases.
Lead in Energy Transition Over TimeAs the global population grows and standards of living continue to improve around the world, we expect energy demand to rise. At the same
time, we, and our society, increasingly recognize the need for secure and reliable energy while reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. Accordingly, energy systems around the world are being reshaped as industry participants, regulators, and consumers seek tolower emissions. As a diversified energy infrastructure company, we believe we are well positioned to play a key role in the energy transitionby leading the development of the future energy systems with regulators and policy makers and partnering with customers on their lower-carbon strategies, while reducing our own carbon footprint.
11
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 11 of 286
We believe that diversification and innovation will play a significant role in the transition to a lower-carbon future. To date, we have made
large investments in natural gas infrastructure and renewable energy assets, helping to decrease our emissions and further expand our
platforms to enable energy transition across the globe. Our focus areas in renewable energy remain in offshore wind, utility-scale onshoreprojects, and integrated clean-energy offerings and solutions for customers. We are also taking a leadership role in other lower-carbonplatforms like CCS, H2 and RNG where we can leverage our infrastructure, capabilities, and stakeholder relationships to accelerate growthand extend the value of our existing assets. Additionally, our new investments are expected to have a clear path to achieve net-zero
emissions, in alignment with our ESG goals.
We work closely with our customers to maintain a pulse on the pace of the energy transition and are actively leveraging our ESG leadership
and world-class execution capabilities to advance our positioning as a differentiated energy provider. We regularly test our assets undervarious transition scenarios to assess resiliency of our business.
STRATEGIC ENABLERSOur commitment and progress on ESG, the capabilities and skills of our people, and how we utilize technology are core to executing ourstrategy and maintaining our competitive advantages.
Environmental, Social and Governance
Sustainability is integral to our ability to deliver energy in a safe and reliable manner. How well we perform as a steward of our environment;as a safe operator of essential energy infrastructure; as a diverse and inclusive employer; and as a responsible corporate citizen isinextricably linked to our ability to achieve our strategic priorities and create long-term value for all our stakeholders.
In 2022, we published our 21st annual Sustainability Report outlining our progress against our ESG goals . In particular, we:
•Made meaningful progress towards our interim emissions intensity and net-zero GHG emissions goals through modernization andinnovation of our system, efficiency improvements, and continued investment in solar self-power;
•Enhanced our efforts to ensure that our workforce and Board better reflect the diversity of our communities, empowering our workforce
through employee resource groups and advancing on our diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments; and•Continued to drive improvements towards our goal of zero safety incidents and injuries and progressed implementation of robust cyberdefense programs.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 14 of 286
MAINLINE SYSTEM
The Mainline System is comprised of the Canadian Mainline and the Lakehead System. The Canadian Mainline is a common carrier pipeline
system which transports various grades of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons within western Canada and from western Canada to theCanada/US border near Gretna, Manitoba and Neche, North Dakota and from the US/Canada border near Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia,Ontario to eastern Canada and the northeastern US. The Canadian Mainline includes six adjacent pipelines with a combined operatingcapacity of approximately 3.1 million barrels per day (mmbpd) that connect with the Lakehead System at the Canada/US border, as well as
five pipelines that deliver crude oil and refined products into eastern Canada and the northeastern US. Through our predecessors, we have
operated, and frequently expanded, the Canadian Mainline since 1949. The Lakehead System is the portion of the Mainline System in theUS. It is an interstate common carrier pipeline system regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and is the primarytransporter of crude oil and liquid petroleum from western Canada to the US.
Tolling FrameworkThe Competitive Toll Settlement (CTS) which governed tolls paid for products shipped on the Canadian Mainline, with the exception of Lines
8 and 9 which are tolled on a separate basis, expired on June 30, 2021. The CTS was a 10-year negotiated agreement and provided for a
Canadian Local Toll (CLT) for deliveries within western Canada, as well as an International Joint Tariff (IJT) for crude oil shipments originatingin western Canada, on the Canadian Mainline, and delivered into the US, via the Lakehead System, and into eastern Canada. The IJT tollswere denominated in US dollars.
On December 19, 2019, we submitted an application to the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) to implement contracting on our CanadianMainline System. On November 26, 2021, the CER denied the application on the basis that, among other things, contracting as proposed
would result in a significant change to access on the Canadian Mainline and potentially inequitable outcomes to some shippers and non-
shippers without a compelling justification.
Effective July 1, 2021, the Mainline System is on Interim Tolls which will remain in effect until new tolls are approved by the CER. Inaccordance with the terms of the CTS, Interim Tolls are equal to the CTS exit tolls on June 30, 2021 and are subject to finalization andadjustment applicable to the interim period, if any. We are currently exploring, with customers and other stakeholders, alternatives that may
include: a modified and extended CTS, a new incentive rate-making agreement, or a cost-of-service rate-making structure. Any negotiated
settlement would require CER approval before implementation. New tolling framework clarity is expected in 2023.
Shippers continue to nominate volumes on a monthly basis and we continue to allocate capacity to maximize the efficiency of the MainlineSystem.
Local tolls for service on the Lakehead System are not affected by Interim Tolls and continue to be established pursuant to the LakeheadSystem’s existing toll agreements. Under Interim Tolls, the Canadian Mainline’s share of the toll relating to pipeline transportation of a batchfrom any western Canada receipt point to the US border is equal to the toll applicable to that batch’s US delivery point, which is comprised of
the IJT Benchmark Toll, the CTS Surcharges and the Line 3 Replacement IJT Surcharge, less the Lakehead System’s local toll to that
delivery point. While on Interim Tolls, we will continue to refer to this amount as the Canadian Mainline IJT Residual Toll which isdenominated in US dollars.

Lakehead System Local Tolls
Transportation rates are governed by the FERC for deliveries from the Canada/US border near Neche, North Dakota, Clearbrook, Minnesota
and other points to principal delivery points on the Lakehead System. The Lakehead System periodically adjusts these transportation ratesas allowed under the FERC’s index methodology and tariff agreements, the main components of which are index rates and the FacilitiesSurcharge Mechanism. Index rates, the base portion of the transportation rates for the Lakehead System, are subject to an annualinflationary adjustment which cannot exceed established ceiling rates as approved by the FERC. The Facilities Surcharge Mechanism allows
the Lakehead System to recover costs associated with certain shipper-requested projects through an incremental surcharge in addition to the
existing base rates and is subject to annual adjustment on April 1 of each year. To the extent that the Lakehead System transportation ratesmaterially under-recover the Lakehead System cost of service, an application can be made with the FERC to seek approval to increase therates in order to bring recoveries in-line with costs.
On May 21, 2021, we filed a cost-of-service application to raise our base rates effective July 1, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the FERC issued anorder to accept the rates subject to refund. This matter is currently in the FERC settlement process.
REGIONAL OIL SANDS SYSTEM

The 145 to 164 kbpd Platte pipeline, which interconnects with the Express pipeline atCasper, Wyoming, transports crude oil predominantly from the Bakken shale and western Canada to refineries in the Midwest. Express
pipeline capacity is typically committed under long-term take-or-pay contracts with shippers. A small portion of Express pipeline capacity and
all of the Platte pipeline capacity is used by uncommitted shippers who pay only for the pipeline capacity they actually use in a given month.
17
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 17 of 286
The Bakken System consists of the North Dakota System and the Bakken Pipeline System. The North Dakota System services the Bakken in
North Dakota and is comprised of a crude oil gathering and interstate pipeline transportation system. The gathering system provides delivery
to Clearbrook, Minnesota for service on the Lakehead system or a variety of interconnecting pipeline and rail export facilities. The interstateportion of the system has both US and Canadian components that extend from Berthold, North Dakota into Cromer, Manitoba.
Tariffs on the US portion of the North Dakota System are governed by the FERC. The Canadian portion is categorized as a Group 2 pipeline,and as such, its tolls are regulated by the CER on a complaint basis. Tolls on the interstate pipeline system are based on long-term take-or-pay agreements with anchor shippers.
We have an effective 27.6% interest in the Bakken Pipeline System, which connects the Bakken formation in North Dakota to markets in
eastern PADD II and the US Gulf Coast. The Bakken Pipeline System consists of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) from the Bakken area
in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois, and the Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline (ETCO) from Patoka, Illinois to Nederland, Texas. Currentcapacity is 750 kbpd of crude oil with the potential to be expanded through additional pumping horsepower. The Bakken Pipeline System isanchored by long-term throughput commitments from a number of producers.
Feeder Pipelines and Other includes a number of liquids storage assets and pipeline systems in Canada and the US.
Key assets included in Feeder Pipelines and Other are the Hardisty Contract Terminal and Hardisty Storage Caverns located near Hardisty,
Alberta, a key crude oil pipeline hub in western Canada and the Southern Access Extension (SAX) pipeline which originates in Flanagan,

Feeder Pipelines and Other also includes Patoka Storage, the Toledo pipeline system and the Norman Wells (NW) System. Patoka Storageis comprised of four storage tanks with 480 thousand barrels of shell capacity located in Patoka, Illinois. The 101 kbpd Toledo pipelinesystem connects with the Lakehead System and delivers to Ohio and Michigan. The 45 kbpd NW System transports crude oil from Norman
Wells in the Northwest Territories to Zama, Alberta and has a cost-of-service rate structure based on established terms with shippers.
COMPETITION
Competition for our liquids pipelines network comes primarily from infrastructure or logistics alternatives that transport liquid hydrocarbonsfrom production basins in which we operate to markets in Canada, the US and internationally. Competition from existing and proposedpipelines is based primarily on access to supply, end use markets, the cost of transportation, contract structure and the quality and reliabilityof service. Additionally, volatile crude price differentials and insufficient pipeline capacity on either our or competitors' pipelines can make
transportation of crude oil by rail competitive, particularly to markets not currently served by pipelines.
We believe that our liquids pipelines systems will continue to provide competitive and attractive options to producers in the WesternCanadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB), North Dakota, and the Permian Basin, due to our market access, competitive tolls and flexibilitythrough our multiple delivery and storage points. We also employ long-term agreements with shippers, which mitigates competition risk byensuring consistent supply to our liquids pipelines network. We have a proven track record of successfully executing projects to meet the
needs of our customers.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 18 of 286
SUPPLY AND DEMAND
We have an established and successful history of being the largest transporter of crude oil to the US, the world’s largest market for crude oil.
While we expect US demand for Canadian crude oil production will support the use of our infrastructure for the foreseeable future, NorthAmerican and global crude oil supply and demand fundamentals are shifting, and we have a role to play in this transition by developing long-term transportation options that enable the efficient flow of crude oil from supply regions to end-user markets, both domestic and global.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on the crude oil market in 2020 with decreased demand from the economicslowdown and government imposed mobility restrictions. However, since 2021, global crude oil demand has been recovering to levels close
to pre-pandemic highs. International prices have strengthened to multi-year highs as global demand has outpaced the return of supply as
publicly traded producers have adopted a more disciplined approach to capital allocation for new drilling.
Our Mainline System throughput, as measured at the Canada/US border at Gretna, Manitoba ended the year delivering 3.1 mmbpd. Refinerydemand in the upper Midwest PADD II market has been strong given the economic recovery and enhanced mobility demand. On the US GulfCoast, lower supply of heavy crude from Latin America and the Middle East is driving increased demand for Canadian heavy crude.
Global crude oil demand in most base case forecasts is expected to grow into the next decade, primarily driven by emerging economies in
regions outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), such as India and China. In North America, demand
growth for transportation fuels is expected to moderate over time due to vehicle fuel efficiency improvement and increasing sales of electricvehicles.
New supply to meet this growing demand is expected to primarily come from Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)countries and North America. Growth in supply from OPEC is anticipated to be led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with theirsignificant low cost reserves and could be supplemented by the return of sanctioned Iranian production. Growth in North America is expected
to be driven by the Permian Basin which is a large and cost competitive light crude oil resource base. In addition, heavy crude oil growth is
expected from the WCSB as additional egress availability will support expansion of existing projects and some potential new greenfieldfacilities.
The anticipated combination of long-term demand growth in non-OECD nations, domestic demand contraction over time, and continuedproduction growth in the Permian Basin and WCSB highlights the importance of our strategic asset footprint and reinforces the need foradditional export oriented infrastructure. We believe that we are well positioned to meet these evolving supply and demand fundamentals
through expansion of system capacity for incremental access to the US Gulf Coast, and through further development of our new EIEC in
Corpus Christi, the largest crude oil export facility in North America.
Opposition to fossil fuel development in conjunction with evolving consumer preferences and new technology could underpin acceleratedenergy transition scenarios impacting long-term supply and demand of crude oil. We continue to closely monitor the evolution of all of thesefactors to be able to pro-actively adapt our business to help meet our customers’ and society’s energy needs.

COMPETITION
Our natural gas transmission and storage businesses compete with similar facilities that serve our supply and market areas in thetransmission and storage of natural gas. The principal elements of competition are location, rates, terms of service, flexibility and reliability ofservice.
The natural gas transported in our business competes with other forms of energy available to our customers and end-users, including
electricity, coal, propane, fuel oils, nuclear and renewable energy. Factors that influence the demand for natural gas include price changes,
the availability of natural gas and other forms of energy, levels of business activity, long-term economic conditions, conservation, legislation,governmental regulations, the ability to convert to alternative fuels, weather and other factors.
Competition exists in all markets that our businesses serve. Competitors include interstate/interprovincial and intrastate/intraprovincialpipelines or their affiliates and other midstream businesses that transport, gather, treat, process and market natural gas or NGL. Becausepipelines are generally the most efficient mode of transportation for natural gas over land, the most significant competitors of our natural gas
pipelines are other pipeline companies.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Our gas transmission assets make up one of the largest natural gas transportation networks in North America, driving connectivity betweenprolific supply basins and major demand centers within the continent. Our systems have been integral to the transition in supply and demandmarkets over the last decade, and we expect to continue to play a part as the energy landscape evolves.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 23 of 286
Natural gas production in the Appalachian and Permian basins has grown dramatically in the past decade. Today, these regions produce
more than 47 bcf/d of natural gas on a combined basis. Improved technology and increased shale gas drilling have increased the supply of
low-cost natural gas. As well, there has been, and continues to be, a corresponding increase in demand for our natural gas infrastructure inNorth America. Through a series of expansions and reversals on our core systems, combined with the execution of greenfield projects andstrategic acquisitions, we have been able to meet the needs of both producers and consumers. Our US Gas Transmission systems wereinitially designed to transport natural gas from the Gulf Coast to the supply-constrained northeast markets. Our asset base now has the
capability to transport diverse bi-directional supply to the northeast, southeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and LNG markets on a fully subscribed
and highly utilized basis.
The northeast market continues its role as a predominantly supply constrained region with steady demand. The bi-directional capabilitiesoffered by our US Gas Transmission system allow us to deliver in an efficient manner to our regional customers. The region has seen anincrease in natural gas supply due to the development of the Marcellus and Utica shales in the Appalachia region.
The southeast market is linked to multiple, highly liquid supply pools that include the Marcellus and Utica shale developments, offering
consistent supply and stable pricing to a growing population of end-use customers across our multiple systems under long-term, utility-like
arrangements.
With connectivity to Appalachian and western Canadian supply through our systems, the Midwest market has access to two of the lowestcost gas producing regions on the continent. As demand in the region is expected to continue to grow by over 2.0 bcf/d over the next decade,maintaining this link will remain important. Flexibility in supply for this market is especially critical to maintaining liquidity and price stability asnatural gas continues to replace coal-fired generation.
Gulf Coast demand growth is being driven by an increase in the volume of LNG exports, an ongoing wave of gas-intensive petrochemical
facilities, along with power generation and additional pipeline exports to Mexico. Demand in these markets in the region is anticipated to grow
by more than 20.0 bcf/d through 2040. The Gulf Coast market has been the beneficiary of low-cost capacity on our assets as the relationshipbetween supply and market centers has shifted. Such cost-effective capacity is difficult to access or replicate, offering existing shippers andtransporters stability of capacity and utilization. Tide-water market access and proximity to Mexico continue to make this region a platform ofglobal trade as pipeline and LNG exports continue their growth trajectory. In 2022, the US exported over 10.6 bcf/d of natural gas to LNG
markets, primarily from the Gulf Coast region.
Western Canada, not unlike other supply hubs, is a source of low-cost supply seeking access to premium markets in North America and
globally. One of the few vital links to demand centers in the Pacific Northwest are our own systems in the region, which are highly utilized.The continental supply profile has shifted to natural gas shale plays such as the Montney and Duvernay within western Canada. Thesesupply shifts have shaped our growth strategies and affect the nature of the projects anticipated in the capital expenditures discussed belowin Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Growth Projects - Commercially
Secured Projects.
Global energy demand is expected to increase approximately 24% by 2050, according to the recently released International Energy Agency’s
Stated Policy Scenario, driven primarily by economic growth in non-OECD countries. According to the Stated Policy Scenario, natural gas willplay an important role in meeting this energy demand, and gas consumption is anticipated to grow by approximately 13% during this periodas one of the world’s most significant energy sources. North American exports are expected to play a significant part in meeting global
demand, underscoring the ability of our assets to remain highly utilized by shippers, and highlighting the need for incremental transportation
solutions across North America, as well as further build-out of export facilities to meet international demand.

Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 24 of 286
The long-term impacts of the Ukraine conflict on global gas markets are still unclear. Europe has experienced a rapid increase in natural gas
prices, largely as a result of reduced natural gas supply from Russia. Global LNG markets have responded, and natural gas storage volumes
entering the winter season in Europe were strong. However, these LNG cargos have largely been diverted from Asian markets, and over timethe LNG market is expected to normalize.
Europe continues to seek lower-carbon gas supplies and has accelerated plans to develop hydrogen as an alternative to natural gas. Theglobal hydrogen market is still relatively immature, but with incentives being put in place such as those in the US Inflation Reduction Act,hydrogen production at large scale is becoming increasingly commercialized, which has led to a growing export market. Given its proximity to
low-cost natural gas supplies and suitable geologic storage for carbon dioxide (CO2), the US Gulf Coast is well positioned to be a leading
export hub to supply blue hydrogen to international markets. Given these rapidly changing global fundamentals, and coupled with growingappetite for lower-carbon hydrogen, we believe we are well positioned to provide value-added solutions to shippers and meet both regionaland international demand.
Opposition to natural gas development, including new pipeline projects, has been increasing in recent years. This may challenge continued
growth of the North American gas market and the ability to efficiently connect supply and demand. We are responding to the need for
regional infrastructure with additional investments in Canadian and US gas transportation facilities. Progress on the development and
construction of our commercially secured growth projects is discussed in Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations - Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects.
GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE
Gas Distribution and Storage consists of our natural gas utility operations, the core of which is Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas), whichserves residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Ontario. This business segment also includes natural gas distribution
activities in Québec.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 25 of 286
ENBRIDGE GAS
Enbridge Gas is a rate-regulated natural gas distribution utility with storage and transmission services. Enbridge Gas' distribution system,
supported by storage and compression assets, carries natural gas from the point of local supply to customers and serves residential,commercial and industrial customers across Ontario.
There are three principal interrelated aspects of the natural gas distribution business in which Enbridge Gas is directly involved: Distribution,Transportation and Storage.
Distribution
Enbridge Gas’ principal source of revenue arises from distribution of natural gas to customers. The services provided to residential, small
commercial and industrial heating customers are primarily on a general service basis, without a specific fixed term or fixed price contract. The
services provided to larger commercial and industrial customers are usually on an annual contract basis under firm or interruptible servicecontracts. Under a firm contract, Enbridge Gas is obligated to deliver natural gas to the customer up to a maximum daily volume. The serviceprovided under an interruptible contract is similar to that of a firm contract, except that it allows for service interruption at Enbridge Gas’
option primarily to meet seasonal or peak demands. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) approves rates for both contract and general services.
The distribution system consists of approximately 149,000 kilometers (92,584 miles) of pipelines that carry natural gas from the point of local
supply to customers.
Customers have a choice with respect to natural gas supply. Customers may purchase and deliver their own natural gas to points upstreamof the distribution system or directly into Enbridge Gas’ distribution system, or, alternatively, they may choose a system supply option,whereby customers purchase natural gas from Enbridge Gas’ supply portfolio. To acquire the necessary volume of natural gas to serve its
customers, Enbridge Gas maintains a diversified natural gas supply portfolio, acquiring supplies on a delivered basis in Ontario, as well as
acquiring supply from multiple supply basins across North America.
TransportationEnbridge Gas contracts for firm transportation service, primarily with TransCanada Pipelines Limited (TransCanada), Vector and NEXUS, tomeet its annual natural gas supply requirements. The transportation service contracts are not directly linked with any particular source ofnatural gas supply. Separating transportation contracts from natural gas supply allows Enbridge Gas flexibility in obtaining its own natural gas
supply and accommodating the requests of its direct purchase customers for assignment of TransCanada capacity. Enbridge Gas forecasts
the natural gas supply needs of its customers, including the associated transportation and storage requirements.
In addition to contracting for transportation service, Enbridge Gas offers firm and interruptible transportation services on its own Dawn-Parkway pipeline system. Enbridge Gas’ transmission system consists of approximately 5,500 kilometers (3,418 miles) of high pressurepipeline and five mainline compressor stations and has an effective peak daily demand capacity of 7.6 bcf/d. Enbridge Gas’ transmissionsystem also links an extensive network of underground storage pools at the Tecumseh Gas Storage facility and Dawn Hub (collectively,
Dawn) to major Canadian and US markets, and forms an important link in moving natural gas from western Canada and US supply basins to
central Canadian and northeastern US markets.
As the supply of natural gas in areas close to Ontario has continued to grow, there has been increased demand to access these diversesupplies at Dawn and transport them along the Dawn-Parkway pipeline system to markets in Ontario, eastern Canada and the northeasternUS. Enbridge Gas delivered 2,162 bcf of gas through its distribution and transmission system in 2022. A substantial amount of Enbridge Gas’
transportation revenue is generated by fixed annual demand charges, with the average length of a long-term contract being approximately 15
years and the longest remaining contract term being 18 years.
26
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 26 of 286
Storage
Enbridge Gas’ business is highly seasonal as daily market demand for natural gas fluctuates with changes in weather, with peak
consumption occurring in the winter months. Utilization of storage facilities permits Enbridge Gas to take delivery of natural gas on favorableterms during off-peak summer periods for subsequent use during the winter heating season. This practice permits Enbridge Gas to minimizethe annual cost of transportation of natural gas from its supply basins, assists in reducing its overall cost of natural gas supply and adds ameasure of security in the event of any short-term interruption of transportation of natural gas to Enbridge Gas’ franchise areas.
Enbridge Gas’ storage facility at Dawn is located in southwestern Ontario, and has a total working capacity of approximately 284 bcf in 34
underground facilities located in depleted gas fields. Dawn is the largest integrated underground storage facility in Canada and one of the
largest in North America. Approximately 180 bcf of the total working capacity is available to Enbridge Gas for utility operations. Enbridge Gasalso has storage contracts with third parties for 21 bcf of storage capacity.
Dawn offers customers an important link in the movement of natural gas from western Canadian and US supply basins to markets in centralCanada and the northeast US. Dawn's configuration provides flexibility for injections, withdrawals and cycling. Customers can purchase both
firm and interruptible storage services at Dawn. Dawn offers customers a wide range of market choices and options with easy access to
upstream and downstream markets. During 2022, Dawn provided services such as storage, balancing, gas loans, transport, exchange and
peaking services to over 200 counterparties.
A substantial amount of Enbridge Gas’ storage revenue is generated by fixed annual demand charges, with the average length of a long-term contract being approximately four years and the longest remaining contract term being 14 years.
GAZIFÈREWe wholly own Gazifère, a natural gas distribution company that serves approximately 44,000 customers in western Québec. Gazifère is
regulated by the Québec Régie de l’énergie.
COMPETITION
Enbridge Gas’ distribution system is regulated by the OEB and is subject to regulation in a number of areas, including rates. Enbridge Gas isnot generally subject to third-party distribution competition within its franchise areas.
Enbridge Gas competes with other forms of energy available to its customers and end-users, including electricity, coal, propane and fuel oils.Factors that influence the demand for natural gas include weather, price changes, the availability of natural gas and other forms of energy,
the level of business activity, conservation, legislation including the federal carbon pricing law, governmental regulations, the ability to convert
to alternative fuels and other factors.
SUPPLY AND DEMANDWe anticipate that demand for natural gas in North America will stabilize over the long term with continued growth in peak day demands,however, there are risks to the natural gas market that may challenge its growth prospects. Net-zero carbon policies, evolving customerpreferences for lower-carbon fuels and more efficient technologies, combined with increasing opposition to natural gas development in North
America, may reduce the markets’ ability to efficiently deploy capital to connect supply and demand. We monitor these factors closely to be
able to develop our business strategy to align with shifts in customer preferences and public policy requirements.
27
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 27 of 286
We expect demand for natural gas connections in Ontario to maintain its recent growth profile due to continued population growth and with
competitively priced natural gas expected to continue to provide a strong price advantage relative to alternate energy options, even with
increasing carbon charges. Specific interest in natural gas connections is expected to come from communities that are not currently servicedby natural gas in Ontario.
Enbridge Gas continues to focus on promoting conservation and energy efficiency by undertaking activities focused on reducing natural gasconsumption through various demand side management programs offered across all markets and sourcing supply with a smaller carbonfootprint. In addition to our existing and proposed RNG programs, we are also expanding our efforts to source other lower-carbon supplies,
such as responsibly sourced natural gas, and H2.
The storage and transportation marketplace continues to respond to changing natural gas supply dynamics, including a recovered supply
environment which was negatively impacted by the global pandemic.
Over the past decade, growth in the North American gas supply landscape, driven mainly by the development of unconventional gasresources in the Montney, Permian, Marcellus and Utica supply basins, has resulted in lower annual commodity prices and narrowerseasonal price spreads. However, over the past year, geopolitical unrest has increased and lead to elevated concerns with energy security in
regions such as Europe and Asia. In response, one of the key supply sources supporting global energy security has been US LNG, which
has introduced additional competition for North American supply. These market dynamics have resulted in higher and more volatile naturalgas prices across many US and Canadian natural gas trading points. Unregulated storage values are primarily determined by the differencein value between winter and summer natural gas prices. Despite the recent volatility exhibited in natural gas prices, storage values havebeen relatively stable.

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, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Québec, and in
the states of Colorado, Texas, Indiana and West Virginia. We are also developing several solar self-power projects along our oil and gasrights-of-way in North America. In Europe, we hold equity interests in operating offshore wind facilities in the coastal waters of the UnitedKingdom, France, and Germany, as well as interests in several offshore wind projects under construction and active development in Franceand the United Kingdom.
29
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 29 of 286
Combined Renewable Power Generation investments represent approximately 2,175 MW of net generation capacity, which primarily consists
of approximately:
•1,389 MW generated by North American wind facilities;
•377 MW generated by European offshore wind facilities;•187 MW to be generated by the Fécamp and Calvados Offshore Wind projects in France, both of which are currently under construction;•6 MW to be generated by the Provence Grand Large Floating Offshore Wind project in France, which is under construction; and•93 MW generated by North American solar facilities in operation, with an additional 97 MW in projects in pre-construction and under
construction.
The vast majority of the power produced from these facilities is sold under long-term PPAs.
In September 2022, we acquired renewable energy project developer TGE with a development portfolio of wind, solar, and energy storageprojects in Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming. TGE’s development portfolio includes 3.9 GW ofconditionally sold renewable generation projects and an additional 3 GW of wholly-owned projects in development. Following its acquisitionof TGE, Enbridge became one of the top 15 renewable energy project developers in the US.
Renewable Power Generation also includes our 25% interest in the East-West Tie, a 450-MW transmission line in northwestern Ontario,
which entered operations in March 2022.
JOINT VENTURES / EQUITY INVESTMENTS
The investments in the Canadian wind and solar assets (excluding self-power) and two of the US renewable assets are held within a jointventure in which we maintain a 51% interest and which we manage and operate.
We also own interests in European offshore wind facilities through the following joint ventures:
•a 24.9% interest in Rampion Offshore Wind, located in the United Kingdom;•a 25.4% interest in Hohe See and Albatros Offshore Wind, located in Germany;
•a 25.5% interest in the Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind project, located in France;
•a 25% interest in the Provence Grande Large Floating Offshore Wind project, under construction in France;•a 17.9% interest in the Fécamp Offshore Wind project, under construction in France; and•a 21.7% interest in the Calvados Offshore Wind project, under construction in France.
COMPETITIONRenewable Power Generation operates in the North American and European power markets, which are subject to competition and supply
and demand fundamentals for power in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The majority of revenue is generated pursuant to long-term
PPAs (or has been substantially hedged). As such, the financial performance is not significantly impacted by fluctuating power prices arisingfrom supply/demand imbalances or the actions of competing facilities during the term of the applicable contracts. However, the renewableenergy sector includes large utilities, small independent power producers and private equity investors, which are expected to aggressivelycompete for new project development opportunities and for the right to supply customers when contracts expire.
To grow in an environment of heightened competition, we strategically seek opportunities to collaborate with well-established renewable
power developers and financial partners and to target regions with commercial constructs consistent with our low risk business model. In
addition, we have expertise in completing and delivering large scale infrastructure projects.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 30 of 286
SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Renewable power generation in North America and Europe is expected to grow significantly over the next 20 years due to the replacement of
older fossil fuel-based sources of electricity generation in support of announced governmental carbon emissions reduction targets. Anyadditional governmental actions toward reducing emissions and/or increasing electrification will further accelerate renewable electricitydemand growth and electrification across all sectors.
On the demand side, North American economic growth over the longer term and the continued electrification and transition to lower-carbonstrategies within the residential, transportation and industrial sectors are expected to drive growing electricity demand. Furthermore,
voluntary GHG emissions reduction targets are becoming increasingly expected by stakeholders, which is driving significant demand from
corporate electricity end-users for clean electricity and environmental attributes. However, continued efficiency gains are expected to makethe economy less energy-intensive and temper overall demand growth.
On the supply side in North America, legislation is accelerating the retirement of aging coal-fired generation, while generation fromconventional nuclear power is also forecast to decline. As a result, North America requires significant new generation capacity from preferred
technologies. Gas-fired and renewable energy facilities, including solar and wind (which make up the bulk of our renewable power assets),
are generally the preferred sources to replace coal-fired generation due to their lower-carbon intensities. Governments are also proposing tax
incentives to support low-emission and renewable energy generation resource development.
The falling capital and operating costs of wind and solar, combined with their improving capacity factors, are expected to continue theongoing trend of making renewable energy more competitive and support investment over the long-term, regardless of available governmentincentives. Generation from renewable sources is expected to double over the next two decades in North America. Aside from the
construction of new wind and solar facilities, other growth opportunities include repowering projects to increase output from, and extending
the project-life of, our existing facilities.
In Europe, the renewable energy outlook is robust. Demand for electricity is expected to gradually increase over the next two decades, drivenby electrification of transportation and buildings, and the desire to reduce reliance on gas sourced from Russia. Energy efficiency gains areexpected to temper, but not eliminate, demand growth. Renewable power is expected to play a significant role in Europe’s ability to meet itsaggressive lower-carbon and renewable energy targets.
On the supply side, the International Energy Agency expects coal to fall by more than 90% from 2020 levels, while nuclear is expected to fall
by one-third, by 2040. Over the same period, it anticipates power generation from renewable sources will more than double, including
installed (onshore and offshore) wind more than doubling and photovoltaics solar power nearly tripling. We, through our European jointventures, continue to invest in offshore wind projects in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, and to explore opportunities, to meet thegrowing demand.
ENERGY SERVICES
The Energy Services businesses in Canada and the US provide physical commodity marketing and logistical services to North American
refiners, producers, and other customers.
Energy Services is primarily focused on servicing customers across the value chain and capturing value from quality, time, and location price
differentials when opportunities arise. To execute these strategies, Energy Services transports and stores on both Enbridge-owned and thirdparty assets using a combination of contracted long-term and short-term pipeline, storage, railcar, and truck capacity agreements.
31
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 31 of 286
COMPETITION
Energy Services’ earnings are primarily generated from arbitrage opportunities which, by their nature, can be replicated by competitors. An
increase in market participants entering into similar arbitrage strategies could have an impact on our earnings. Efforts to mitigate competitionrisk include diversification of the marketing business by transacting at the majority of major hubs in North America and establishing long-termrelationships with clients and pipelines.
ELIMINATIONS AND OTHER
Eliminations and Other includes operating and administrative costs that are not allocated to business segments, the impact of foreignexchange hedge settlements and the activities of our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries. The principal activity of our captive
insurance subsidiaries is providing insurance and reinsurance coverage for certain insurable property and casualty risk exposures of our
operating subsidiaries and certain equity investments. Eliminations and Other also includes new business development activities andcorporate investments.
REGULATION
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Pipeline Regulation
Our Liquids Pipelines and Gas Transmission and Midstream assets are subject to numerous operational rules and regulations mandated bygovernments or applicable regulatory authorities, breaches of which could result in fines, penalties, operating restrictions and an overallincrease in operating and compliance costs.
In the US, our interstate pipeline operations are subject to pipeline safety laws and regulations administered by the Pipeline and HazardousMaterials Safety Administration (PHMSA), an agency within the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). These laws and
regulations require us to comply with a significant set of requirements for the design, construction, maintenance and operation of our
interstate pipelines. These laws and regulations, among other things, include requirements to monitor and maintain the integrity of ourpipelines and to operate them within permissible pressures.
PHMSA continues to review existing regulations and establish new regulations to support safety standards that are designed to improveoperations integrity management processes. There remains uncertainty as to how these standards will be implemented, but it is expected
that the changes will result in additional costs on new pipeline projects as well as on existing operations. In this climate of increasingly
stringent regulation, pipeline failure or failures to comply with applicable regulations could result in reduction of allowable operating pressures
as authorized by PHMSA, which would reduce available capacity on our pipelines. Should any of these risks materialize, it may have anadverse effect on our operations, capital expenditures, earnings, cash flows, financial condition and competitive advantage.
Our ability to establish transportation and storage rates on our US interstate natural gas facilities is subject to regulation by the FERC, whoserulings and policies could have an adverse impact on the ability to recover the full cost of operating these pipeline and storage assets,
including a reasonable rate of return. Regulatory or administrative actions by FERC such as rate proceedings, applications to certify
construction of new facilities, and depreciation and amortization policies can affect our business, including decreasing tariff rates andrevenues and increasing our costs of doing business.
32
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 32 of 286
In Canada, our pipelines are subject to safety regulations administered by the CER or provincial regulators. Applicable legislation and
regulations require us to comply with a significant set of requirements for the design, construction, maintenance and operation of our
pipelines. Among other obligations, this regulatory framework imposes requirements to monitor and maintain the integrity of our pipelines.
As in the US, laws and regulations addressing pipeline safety in Canada were enacted over the past few years. The changes demonstrate anincreased focus on the implementation of management systems to address key areas, such as emergency management, integritymanagement, safety, security and environmental protection. The CER also has authority to impose administrative monetary penalties fornon-compliance with the regulatory regime it administers, as well as to impose financial requirements for future abandonment and major
pipeline releases.
A key component of pipeline safety and reliability is the approach to integrity management that uses reliability targets and safety case
assessments. A long history of extensive inline inspection has provided detailed knowledge of the assets in our pipeline systems. Ourpipelines are assessed and maintained in a proactive manner ensuring reliability targets are met. Furthermore, the integrity managementprogram has an independent step to check the results of integrity assessments to validate the effectiveness of the program and to ensure
that the operational risk remains as low as reasonably practicable throughout the integrity inspection and assessment cycle. As inspection
technology, pipeline materials and construction practices improve with time, and new data on threats and pipeline condition are gathered, our
methods of maintaining fitness for service evolves, with a strong focus on continual improvement in every aspect of integrity management.
Our pipelines also face economic regulatory risk. Broadly defined, economic regulatory risk is the risk that governments or regulatoryagencies reject proposed commercial arrangements, applications or policies, upon which future and current operations are dependent. Ourpipelines are subject to the actions of various regulators, including the CER and the FERC, with respect to the tariffs and tolls. The rejection
of applications for approval of new tariff structures or proposed commercial arrangements and changes in interpretation of existing
regulations by courts or regulators could have an adverse effect on our revenues and earnings.
Gas Distribution and StorageOur gas distribution and storage utility operations are regulated by the OEB and the Québec Régie de l’énergie, among others. To the extentthat the regulators’ future actions are different from current expectations, the timing and amount of recovery or refund of amounts recorded inthe Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, or amounts that would have been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Position in the absence of the effects of regulation, could be different from the amounts that are eventually recovered or refunded.
Enbridge Gas' distribution rates, commencing in 2019, are set under a five-year incentive regulation (IR) framework using a price cap
mechanism. The price cap mechanism establishes new rates each year through an annual base rate escalation at inflation less a 0.3%productivity factor, annual updates for certain costs to be passed through to customers, and where applicable, the recovery of materialdiscrete incremental capital investments beyond those that can be funded through base rates. The IR framework includes the continuationand establishment of certain deferral and variance accounts, as well as an earnings sharing mechanism that requires Enbridge Gas to share
equally with customers any earnings in excess of 150 basis points over the annual OEB approved return on equity (ROE).
33
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 33 of 286
In October 2022, Enbridge Gas filed its application with the OEB to establish a 2024 through 2028 rate setting framework. The application
and framework seek approval to establish 2024 base rates on a cost-of-service basis and to establish a price cap IR rate setting mechanism
to be used for the remainder of the term (2025 - 2028). The OEB has determined it will hear the application in two phases, with Phase 1addressing items that affect rates effective January 1, 2024, and Phase 2 addressing items that will affect rates subsequent to January 1,2024. An OEB decision is expected on Phase 1 of the application in the second half of 2023.
Enbridge Gas continues to develop opportunities to support a lower-carbon future in Ontario. In 2021, we received OEB approval of anIntegrated Resource Planning (IRP) framework and integrated the framework into our planning practices. The framework requires Enbridge
Gas to consider facility and non-pipe demand and/or supply side alternatives (IRP alternatives) to address the systems needs of its regulated
operations, where certain parameters have been met. The framework also allows Enbridge Gas to pursue an IRP alternative (or combinationof IRP alternatives and facility alternative) where it is found to be in the best interests of Enbridge Gas and its customers, taking into accountreliability and safety, cost-effectiveness, public policy, optimized scoping, and risk management. Enbridge Gas has reviewed its systemneeds as part of its 2023-2032 Asset Management Plan and is now evaluating the technical and economic feasibility of IRP alternatives for
the projects. A summary of the IRP evaluation statuses has been filed as part of Enbridge Gas’ 2024 Rebasing Application.
Renewable Power Generation
Renewable Power Generation is subject to numerous operational rules and regulations mandated by governments or applicable regulatoryauthorities, breaches of which could result in fines, penalties, operating restrictions and an overall increase in operating and compliancecosts.
The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) is an international regulatory authority responsible for establishing and enforcing
reliability standards to reduce risks to the reliability and security of the grid in Canada, the US, and Mexico. It is subject to oversight from the
FERC in the US and provincial governments in Canada. The FERC has authority over many markets in the US and is tasked with ensuringsafe, reliable, and secure interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil. This includes establishing reliability standards anddetermining certain pricing aspects of transmission development and access, among others. NERC and FERC standards and pricingdecisions are also updated from time to time and could impact our operations, capital expenditures, earnings, and cash flows, though some
of these impacts could be positive for our business.
At the US federal level, our Renewable Power Generation assets are subject to legislation overseen by the US Fish and Wildlife Service,
which is aimed at reducing the impact of development and human activity on wildlife, along with other federal environmental permittinglegislation. These federal environmental laws are subject to change from time to time which could require Enbridge to obtain new permits,update practices, or amend operations and operating expenditures.
In Canada, the Federal Government does not generally regulate the electricity sector though it has imposed a federal carbon price on othersectors via its output-based pricing system (OBPS) and has proposed a Clean Electricity Regulation (CE Regulation) that would require
Canada’s electricity grid reach net-zero by 2035. The CE Regulation is expected to come into effect in 2023.
Policy changes may also provide new opportunities for existing assets and new developments. The United States passed the Inflation
Reduction Act in late 2022, which established long-term production and investment tax credits for renewable power generation, batterystorage projects and for related manufacturing supply chains. Similarly, Canada proposed in its Fall Economic Statement competitive taxcredits for renewable power generation and battery storage projects, which it anticipates passing in 2023. Changes to these tax programs
could impact development plans.
34
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 34 of 286
Renewable Power Generation is also subject to Provincial and State regulations governing the energy resource mix on the grid, emissions
levels of the electricity grid, and market regulations related to emergency operations, extreme weather preparedness, and market
participation, among others. These regulations may change from time to time, which could impact Enbridge’s operations and increase thecosts of participating in regional electricity markets.
Our Renewable Power Generation assets in France and Germany each have federal policies in place and are subject to directives andregulations established and enforced by the European Union (EU). These include the Renewable Energy Directive (most recently, RED IIpassed set targets through 2030), the European Green Deal, and ongoing work on financing mechanisms and transmission directives and
programs. The EU is also responsible for establishing environmental protection rules and permitting standards. During 2022, member states
of the EU introduced extraordinary and temporary measures to address high energy prices including caps and demand reduction goals. Asthe minimum PPA prices in Germany and France will still be honored, there will not be any negative implications to our PPA prices. Thefederal policies and regulations in place are subject to change from time to time, which could impact our operations and related expenditures;however, the EU’s general direction is to facilitate increased renewable power integration to its grid.
The United Kingdom (UK) government is responsible for establishing renewable energy and carbon pricing policies for the entire UK, as well
as long-term electricity sector planning and procurement mechanisms and structure for auctions that are administered at the national level,
e.g., England, Scotland, within the UK. Each country within the UK is also responsible for establishing its own environmental and permittingregulations. This process is still ongoing following Brexit and in some cases continues to result in more volatile merchant power prices;however, expanded interconnectors to Europe and policies aimed at increasing domestic renewable capacity are in progress. Government-
imposed temporary price controls, effective January 1, 2023, were introduced during 2022 to address the significant increase in energy
prices. The impact of merchant exposure on our Renewable Power Generation asset in the UK is limited by fixed revenue payments backed
by the UK government.
Energy ServicesEnergy Services is regulated by government authorities in the areas of commodity trading, import and export compliance and thetransportation of commodities. Non-compliance with governing rules and regulations could result in fines, penalties and operating restrictions.
These consequences would have an adverse effect on operations, earnings, cash flows, financial condition and competitive advantage.
Energy Services retains dedicated professional staff and has a robust regulatory compliance program (including targeted training) to mitigatethese potential risks associated with the business.
In the US, commodity marketing is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the SEC, the Federal Trade Commission, thevarious commodity exchanges, the US Department of Justice and state regulators. The provincial and territorial securities regulators similarlyregulate commodity marketing within Canada and are members of the Canadian Securities Administrators. These various regulators enforce,
among other things, the prohibition of market manipulation, fraud and disruptive trading.
The export of natural gas out of Alberta is regulated by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). The import and export of commodities between
Canada and the US is subject to regulation by the CER and the US Department of Energy, as well as customs authorities. In particular,import and export permits are required, with associated regular reporting requirements. Breaches of import and export rules and permitscould result in an inability to perform day to day operations, and therein negatively impact the earnings of the business.
35
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 35 of 286
The transportation of crude oil and natural gas liquids by railcar or truck is regulated by the US DOT, Transport Canada and provincial
regulation. Each jurisdiction requires compliance with security, safety, emergency management, and environmental laws and regulations
related to ground transportation of commodities. Risks associated with transportation of crude or natural gas liquids include unplannedreleases. In the event of a release, remediation of the affected area would be required. Energy Services engages third parties, such asEmergency Response Assistance Canada, the Chemical Transportation Emergency Center and the Canadian Transport Emergency Centerto assist in such remediation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Pipeline Regulation
Our Liquids Pipelines and Gas Transmission and Midstream assets are subject to numerous federal, state and provincial environmental lawsand regulations affecting many aspects of our present and future operations, including air emissions, water quality, water discharge andwaste. These laws and regulations generally require us to obtain and comply with a wide variety of environmental licenses, permits and otherapprovals.
In particular, in the US, compliance with major Clean Air Act regulatory programs may cause us to incur significant capital expenditures to
obtain permits, evaluate off-site impacts of our operations, install pollution control equipment, and otherwise assure compliance. Some states
in which we operate are establishing new state implementation plans which have new emissions limits to comply with ozone standardsregulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. In 2015, the ozone standards were lowered once again from 75 parts per billion(ppb) to 70 ppb, which may require states to implement additional emissions regulations. The precise nature of these compliance obligations
at each of our facilities has not been finally determined and may depend in part on future regulatory changes. In addition, compliance with
new and emerging environmental regulatory programs may significantly increase our operating costs compared to historical levels.
In the US, climate change action is evolving at federal, state and regional levels. The Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v.Environmental Protection Agency in 2007 established that GHG emissions were pollutants subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act.Pursuant to federal regulations, we are currently subject to an obligation to report our GHG emissions at our largest emitting facilities but arenot generally subject to limits on emissions of GHGs. The current US presidential administration has also announced that policies designed
to combat climate change and reduce GHG emissions will be a key legislative and regulatory priority, and thus stricter emissions limits and
air quality enforcement actions are likely. In addition, a number of states have joined regional GHG initiatives, and a number are developingtheir own programs that would mandate reductions in GHG emissions. Public interest groups and regulatory agencies are increasinglyfocusing on the emission of methane associated with natural gas development and transmission as a source of GHG emissions. However, asthe key details of future GHG restrictions and compliance mechanisms remain undefined, the likely future effects on our business are
uncertain.
Canada has adopted a pan-Canadian approach to pricing carbon emissions to incent GHG emission reductions across all sectors of the
economy. This approach was adopted in 2016 and entails both a consumer price on carbon, and an intensity-based system for industrywhich addresses competitiveness and carbon leakage. Provinces and territories may implement their own system of carbon pricing provided
it meets the federal benchmark (and if they fail to do so the federal system will be imposed on them). In March 2022, Canada published its2030 Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) which builds on the Pan-Canadian Framework, and Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, and
details the roadmap for Canada to meet its domestic climate target of a 40-45% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 and attaining net-zero
emissions by 2050. The ERP details the complementary policies and programs that Canada will enact to enable it to meet its domesticclimate goal. Effective January 1, 2023, the federal carbon price was increased from $50 to $65 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent(tCO2e). This will increase by $15 per tonne and rise to $170 per tCO2e in 2030.

Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 36 of 286
Gas Distribution and Storage
Our Gas Distribution and Storage operations, facilities and workers are subject to municipal, provincial and federal legislation which regulates
the protection of the environment and the health and safety of workers. Environmental legislation primarily includes regulation of spills andemissions to air, land and water; hazardous waste management; the assessment and management of excess soil and contaminated sites;protection of environmentally sensitive areas, and species at risk and their habitats; and the reporting and reduction of GHG emissions.
Gas distribution system operation, as with any industrial operation, has the potential risk of abnormal or emergency conditions, or otherunplanned events that could result in releases or emissions exceeding permitted levels. These events could result in injuries to workers or
the public, adverse impacts to the environment, property damage and/or regulatory infractions including orders and fines. We could also incur
future liability for soil and groundwater contamination associated with past and present site activities.
In addition to gas distribution, we also operate gas storage facilities and a small volume of oil and brine production in southwestern Ontario.Environmental risk associated with these facilities has the potential for unplanned releases. In the event of a release, remediation of theaffected area would be required. There would also be potential for fines and orders under environmental legislation, and potential third-party
liability claims by any affected landowners.
The gas distribution system and our other operations must maintain environmental approvals and permits from regulators to operate. As a
result, these assets and facilities are subject to periodic inspections and/or audits. Reports are submitted to our regulators as required todemonstrate we are in good standing with our environmental requirements. Failure to maintain regulatory compliance could result inoperational interruptions, fines, and/or orders for additional pollution control technology or environmental mitigation.
As environmental regulations continue to evolve and become more stringent, the cost to maintain compliance and the time required to obtainapprovals continues to increase. A recent example includes the implementation of the new excess soil management requirements (Ontario
Regulation 406/19) which has resulted in an increase in soil management costs and effort.
As in previous years, in 2022, we reported operational GHG emissions, including emissions from stationary combustion, flaring, venting and
fugitive sources to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, and anumber of voluntary reporting programs. In accordance with the provincial GHG regulations, stationary combustion and flaring emissionsrelated to storage and transmission operations were verified in detail by a third-party accredited verifier with no material discrepancies found.
Enbridge Gas utilizes emissions data management processes and systems to help with the data capture and mandatory and voluntary
reporting needs. Quantification methodologies and emission factors are updated in our systems as required. Enbridge Gas continues to work
with industry associations to refine quantification methodologies and emissions factors, as well as best management practices to minimize
emissions.
In October 2018, the federal government confirmed that Ontario is subject to the federal government’s carbon pricing program, otherwiseknown as the Federal Carbon Pricing Backstop Program. This program consists of two components: a carbon charge levied on fossil fuels,including natural gas, and an OBPS.
37
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 37 of 286
The federal carbon charge took effect on April 1, 2019 at a rate of 3.91 cents/cubic meter (m3) of natural gas and is applicable to the majority
of customers. Enbridge Gas is registered as a natural gas distributor with the Canada Revenue Agency and remits the federal carbon charge
on a monthly basis. The charge increases annually on April 1 of each year by 1.96 cents/m3, rising to 9.79 cents/m3 in 2022. In December2020, the federal government announced plans to increase the federal carbon price by $15 per tonne each year beginning in 2023, rising to$170 per tCO2e in 2030. Enbridge Gas estimates that this will equate to a federal carbon charge on natural gas of approximately 33.31cents/m3 in 2030.
The OBPS component came into effect in Ontario on January 1, 2019 and ended on December 31, 2021. Under OBPS, a registered facility
has a compliance obligation for the portion of their emissions that exceeds their annual facility emissions limit, which is calculated based on
the sector specific output-based standard and annual production. From 2019 to 2021, Enbridge Gas was registered with ECCC as an emitterin the OBPS program and has an annual compliance obligation associated with the combustion and flaring emissions from its natural gaspipeline transmission system. As a registered facility under OBPS, Enbridge Gas submitted an annual report along with the requiredverification report from an accredited third-party verifier who found no material misstatements. Enbridge Gas was required to remit payment
for facility emissions that exceed its annual facility emissions limit by December of the year following a compliance period. In accordance with
the regulations, Enbridge Gas made payment for the 2021 compliance obligation in December 2022.
In September 2020, Ontario and the federal government announced that the federal government has accepted that Ontario’s EmissionPerformance Standards (EPS) will replace the federal OBPS for industrial facilities. In March 2021, the federal government announced thatthe federal OBPS would stand down in Ontario at the end of 2021 and Ontario would transition to the EPS effective January 1, 2022. In
September 2021, the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act was amended to remove Ontario as a covered province, enabling the EPS to
take effect on January 1, 2022. Effective January 1, 2022, Enbridge Gas transitioned out of the federal OBPS to the provincial EPS. Enbridge
Gas is registered with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks as a covered facility under the EPS and has an annualcompliance obligation for its facility-related stationary combustion and flaring emissions associated with its transmission and storageoperations. Enbridge Gas must remit payment annually on the portion of emissions that exceed its total annual emissions limit. Payment is
due the year following a compliance period and as such, Enbridge Gas will remit payment for its 2022 EPS compliance obligation in 2023.
Enbridge Gas applies to the OEB annually through a Federal Carbon Pricing Program application for approval of just and reasonable rates
effective April 1 each year for the Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union rate zones, to recover the costs associated with the FederalCarbon Charge and EPS Regulation as a pass-through to customers.
Renewable Power GenerationIn March 2022, the Federal Government of Canada released a white paper setting out its plans for caps on emissions on Canada’s electricitygrid with the intention of reaching a net-zero grid by 2035. The government subsequently proposed a CE Regulation framework and provided
technical details for the program, which would cap emissions from electricity generation sources at, or near zero tCO2e per megawatt hour.
Details of related compliance payments and potential credit generation opportunities are under review and the CE Regulation is expected tocome into effect in 2023. Enbridge’s Renewable Power Generation resources are substantially non-emitting.

HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES
WORKFORCE SIZE AND COMPOSITION
As at December 31, 2022, we had approximately 11,100 regular employees, including approximately 1,600 unionized employees across our
North American operations. This total rises to just over 13,000 if temporary employees and contractors are included. We have a strongpreference for direct employment relationships but where we have collectively bargained-for employees, we have mature workingrelationships with our labor unions and the parties have traditionally committed themselves to the achievement of renewal agreementswithout a work stoppage.
SAFETY
We believe all injuries, incidents and occupational illnesses are preventable. Our overall focus on employee and contractor safety, including
through the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to result in strong performance compared against industry benchmarks and we are activelyengaged in continuous improvement exercises as we pursue our goal of zero incidents.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSIONIn 2020, we announced Enbridge’s ESG goals – including goals to increase representation of women, underrepresented ethnic and racialgroups (including Indigenous peoples), people with disabilities and veterans – to ensure our workforce is reflective of the communities where
we operate. In executing on our ESG strategy, we continue to track progress towards these representation goals in 2022. Consistent with our
culture, we remain committed to open, two-way dialogue related to our goals, enhancing transparency and accountability for all stakeholders.
Diversity Representation Goals
PRODUCTIVITY AND DEVELOPMENT
We continually invest in our people’s personal and professional development because we recognize their success is our success. Every year,
employees are provided access to a range of development and re-skilling opportunities through a variety of channels, including: extensivecatalog of self-directed learning (10,000+ external courses plus proprietary Enbridge University courses); on-the-job learning opportunitiesand rotational assignments; curated leadership development programs; educational reimbursement; and developmental relationships withmentors through our formal mentor-protégé matching program.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial results, market price or value of oursecurities. This list is not exhaustive, and we place no priority or likelihood based on order of presentation or grouping under sub-captions.
RISKS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change risks could adversely affect our business, operations and financial results, and these effects could be material.
Climate change is a systemic risk that presents both physical and transition risks to our organization. A summary of these risks is discussed
below. Given the interconnected nature of climate impacts, we also discuss these risks within the context of other risks impacting Enbridgethroughout Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Climate change and its associated impacts may increase our exposure to, and magnitude of, other risks identified in Item 1A. Risk Factors.Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, reputation, access to and cost of capital or insurance, business plans orstrategy may all be materially adversely impacted as a result of climate change and its associated impacts.
PHYSICAL RISKS
Climate-related physical risks as a result of changing and more extreme weather, can damage our assets and affect the safety and reliability
of our operations and has had such impacts in the past. Climate-related physical risks may be acute or chronic. Acute physical risks arethose that are event-driven, including increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as heavy snowfall, heavy rainfall,floods, landslides, fires, hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, tropical storms, ice storms, and extreme temperatures. Chronic physical risks arelonger-term shifts in climate patterns, such as long-term changes in precipitation patterns, or sustained higher temperatures, which may
cause sea level rises or chronic heat waves.
Our assets are exposed to potential damage or other negative impacts from these kinds of events, which could result in reduced revenuefrom business disruption or reduced capacity and may also lead to increased costs due to repairs and required adaptation measures. Suchevents may also result in loss of life or injury or damage to property and the environment. We have experienced operational interruptions anddamage to our assets from such weather events in the past, and we expect to experience climate-related physical risks in the future,
potentially with increasing frequency or severity.
42
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 42 of 286
TRANSITION RISKS
Transition risks relate to the transition to a lower-emissions economy, which may increase our cost of operations, impact our business plans,
and influence stakeholder decisions about our company, each of which could adversely impact our reputation, strategic plan, business,operations or financial results. These transition risks include:
•Policy and legal risksForeign and domestic governments continue to evaluate and implement policy, legislation, and regulations regarding reduction of GHGemissions, adaptation to climate change, transition to a lower-carbon economy, and disclosure of climate-related matters. Such policies,
laws and regulations vary at the federal, state, provincial and municipal levels in which Enbridge operates and are continually evolving.
International multilateral agreements, the obligations adopted thereunder, increasing physical impacts of climate change, changingpolitical and public opinion and legal challenges concerning the adequacy of climate-related policy brought against governments andcorporations, among other factors, are expected to accelerate the implementation of these measures. Efforts to regulate or restrict GHGemissions could negatively impact demand for the products we transport. Significant expenditures and resources could be required in
order to meet new regulatory requirements. In addition, there has been an increase in climate and disclosure-related litigation against
governments as well as energy companies. There is no assurance that our company will not be impacted by such litigation.
In addition, Enbridge is required to adhere to a number of implicit and explicit carbon-pricing mechanisms. Many jurisdictions in which weoperate are either increasing the stringency of existing, or introducing new, legislation or public policy to address climate change andreduce GHG emissions. These mechanisms may present climate-related transition risk to our business strategy, impacting bothcommodity demand and the overall energy mix we deliver. Carbon pricing mechanisms may expose us to increased costs as well as
increasing energy costs to our customers. Our operations are subject to both explicit carbon prices (i.e., in BC) and implicit carbon prices
(i.e., Canadian federal OBPS). These requirements are evolving; in Canada, the federal government is considering options to cap andcut oil and gas sector GHG emissions, which may impact our business, including a new cap-and-trade system under the Canadian
Environmental Protection Act, 1999 or modification of the current carbon pricing approach under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution PricingAct.
•Technology risks
Our success in executing our strategic plan, including adapting to the energy transition over time and attaining our GHG emissionsreduction goals and targets, depends, in part, on technology (including technology still under development), innovation and continueddiversification with renewable power and other lower-carbon energy infrastructure as well as modernization of our infrastructure toreduce GHG emissions. Achieving our GHG emissions reduction goals and targets could require significant capital expenditures and
resources, with the potential that the costs required to achieve our goals and targets materially differ from our original estimates and
expectations. Similarly, there is a risk that emissions reduction technology does not materialize as expected, making it more difficult toreduce emissions.
•Market risksClimate change concerns, increase in demand for lower-carbon and zero-emissions energy, alternative and new energy sources andtechnologies, changing customer behavior and reduced energy consumption could impact the demand for our services or securities. The
pace and scale of the transition to a lower-carbon economy may pose a risk if Enbridge diversifies either too quickly or too slowly.
Similarly, uncertainty in market signals, such as abrupt and unexpected shifts in energy costs and demands, including due to climatechange concerns, can impact revenue through reduced throughput volumes on our pipeline transportation systems.
43
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 43 of 286
•Reputational risks
We have long been committed to strong ESG practices and performance, and in November 2020, we introduced a set of ESG goals to
strengthen transparency and accountability. We have set GHG emissions reduction goals and one of our strategic priorities is to adapt tothe energy transition over time. If we are not able to achieve our GHG emissions reduction goals, are not able to meet future climate,emissions or other reporting requirements of regulators, or are not able to meet or manage current and future expectations and issuesimportant to investors or other stakeholders, including those related to climate change, it could negatively impact our reputation and our
business, operations or financial results.
•Disclosure risks
Finally, we currently provide certain climate-related disclosures, and from time to time, we establish and publicly announce goals andcommitments to reduce our GHG emissions. These disclosures and goals, and our progress towards these commitments, may be basedon standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptionsthat are subject to change in the future. There can be no assurance that our current or future disclosures and goals, the pathways by
which we plan to reach our goals, or the methodologies that we currently use to support our disclosures and progress towards our goals,
will satisfy any new and evolving regulations and legal requirements or expectations of our stakeholders, and the costs of aligning ourcurrent disclosures and goals to any new legal requirements may be significant. Additionally, if we fail to achieve or improperly report onour progress toward achieving our emissions reduction goals and commitments, we may be subject to reputational harm, regulatoryaction, or other legal action.
Companies across all sectors and industries are facing changing expectations or increasing scrutiny from stakeholders related to their
approach to ESG matters, including climate change and GHG emissions. Companies in the energy industry are experiencing stakeholder
opposition to new infrastructure, as well as organized opposition to oil and natural gas extraction and shipment of oil and natural gasproducts.
Our business is undergoing significant changes driven by technological advancements and the energy transition, which couldimpact our strategic plan, business, operations or financial results.Our success in executing our strategic plan, including adapting to the energy transition over time and attaining our GHG emissions reduction
goals and targets depends, in part, on technology (including technology still under development), innovation and continued diversification
with renewable power and other lower-carbon energy infrastructure, as well as modernization of our infrastructure to reduce GHG emissions,all of which could require significant capital expenditures and resources. Public policy relating to climate change can drive investment inlower-emissions technologies which could impact both the supply of and demand for crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons transported onour pipelines.
RISKS RELATED TO OPERATIONAL DISRUPTION OR CATASTROPHIC EVENTS
Operation of complex energy infrastructure involves many hazards and risks that may adversely affect our business, financial
results and the environment.These operational risks include adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, accidents, the breakdown or failure of equipment orprocesses, and lower than expected levels of operating capacity and efficiency. These operational risks could be catastrophic in nature.
Operational risk is also intensified by climate change. Climate change presents physical risks that may affect the safety and reliability of ouroperations. These include acute physical risks, such as heavy snowfall, heavy rainfall, floods, landslides, fires, hurricanes, cyclones,
tornados, tropical storms, ice storms, and extreme temperatures, and chronic physical risks, such as long-term changes in precipitation
patterns, or sustained higher temperatures.
44
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 44 of 286
Our assets and operations are exposed to potential damage or other negative impacts from these operational risks, which could result in
reduced revenue from business disruption or reduced capacity and may also lead to increased costs due to repairs and required adaptation
measures. Such events have led to, could in the future lead to, rupture or release of product from our pipeline systems and facilities, or lossof life or injury to people, which could result in substantial losses for which insurance may not be sufficient or available and for which we maybear part or all of the cost.
An environmental incident is an event that may cause environmental harm and could lead to increased operating and insurance costs,thereby negatively impacting earnings. An environmental incident could have lasting reputational impacts and could impact our ability to work
with various stakeholders. For pipeline and storage assets located near populated areas, including residential communities, commercial
business centers, industrial sites and other public gathering locations, the level of damage resulting from these events could be greater.
We have experienced such events in the past, including in 2010 on Lines 6A and 6B of the Lakehead System; in October 2018 at the BCPipeline T-South system; in January 2019, August 2019 and May 2020 at the Texas Eastern Pipeline; impacts from the winter storm inFebruary 2021 in Texas; and from wildfires in July 2021 and flooding in November 2021 in BC. We have incurred and expect to continue toincur significant costs in preparing for or responding to operational risks and events. We expect to continue to experience climate-related
physical risks, potentially with increasing frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that we will not experience catastrophic or other
events in the future. In addition, we could be subject to litigation and significant fines and penalties from regulators in connection with anysuch events.
A service interruption could have a significant impact on our operations, and negatively impact financial results, relationships withstakeholders and our reputation.
A service interruption due to a major power disruption, curtailment of commodity supply, operational incident, security incident (cyber or
physical), availability of gas supply or distribution or other reasons could have a significant impact on our operations and negatively impactfinancial results, relationships with stakeholders, our reputation or the safety of our end customers. Service interruptions that impact ourcrude oil and natural gas transportation services can negatively impact shippers’ operations and earnings as they are dependent on ourservices to move their product to market or fulfill their own contractual arrangements, and this has in the past and may again lead to claims
against us. We have experienced, and may again experience, service interruptions, restrictions or other operational constraints, including in
connection with the kinds of operational incidents referred to in the previous risk factor.
Our operations involve safety risks to the public and to our workers and contractors.Several of our pipelines and distribution systems are operated in close proximity to populated areas and a major incident could result in injuryor loss of life to members of the public. In addition, given the natural hazards inherent in our operations, our workers and contractors aresubject to personal safety risks. A public safety incident or an injury or loss of life to our workers or contractors, which we have experienced
in the past and, despite the precautions we take, may experience in the future, could result in reputational damage to us, material repair
costs or increased operating and insurance costs.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 45 of 286
Cyber attacks pose threats to our technology systems and could materially adversely affect our business, operations, reputation
or financial results.
Our business is dependent upon information systems and other digital technologies for controlling our plants, pipelines and other assets,processing transactions and summarizing and reporting results of operations. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission ofinformation is critical to our operations. A security breach of our network or systems, or the network or systems of our third-party vendors,could result in improper operation of our assets, potentially including delays in the delivery or availability of our customers’ products,
contamination or degradation of the products we transport, store and distribute, damage to our facilities or those of our customers, or
releases of hydrocarbon products for which we could be held liable, all of which could materially adversely affect our reputation, business,operations or financial results. Furthermore, we and some of our vendors collect and store sensitive data in the ordinary course of ourbusiness, including personal information of our employees and residential gas distribution customers as well as our proprietary businessinformation and that of our customers, suppliers, investors and other stakeholders.
Cybersecurity risks have increased in recent years as a result of the proliferation of new technologies and the increased sophistication of
cyber attacks and data security breaches, as well as due to international and domestic political factors including geopolitical tensions, armed
hostilities, war, civil unrest, sabotage and terrorism. Human error can also contribute to a cyber incident, and cyber attacks can be internal aswell as external and occur at any point in our supply chain. Because of the critical nature of our infrastructure and our use of informationsystems and other digital technologies to control our assets, we face a heightened risk of cyber attacks. Cyber threat actors have attackedand threatened to attack energy infrastructure, and various government agencies have increasingly stressed that these attacks are targeting
critical infrastructure, and are increasing in sophistication, magnitude, and frequency. New cybersecurity legislation, regulations and orders
have been recently implemented or proposed resulting in additional actual and anticipated regulatory oversight and compliancerequirements, which will require significant internal and external resources. We cannot predict the potential impact to our business ofpotential future legislation, regulations or orders relating to cybersecurity.
We have been, and expect to continue to be, the target of cyber-attacks against which we have deployed, and continue to deploy, securitymeasures. Our information systems or those of our vendors or other service providers are expected to become the target of further cyber
attacks or security breaches which could compromise our data and systems, affect our ability to correctly record, process and report
transactions, result in the loss of information, or cause operational disruption or incidents. As a result of a cyber attack or security breach, wecould also be liable under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, be subject to regulatory action, fines or penalties, incuradditional costs for remediation, litigation, breach of contract or indemnity claims, or other costs, all of which could materially adversely affectour reputation, business, operations or financial results.
In addition, a cyber attack could occur and persist for an extended period without detection. Any investigation of a cyber attack or other
security incident may be inherently unpredictable, and it would take time before the completion of any investigation and availability of full andreliable information. During such time, we may not know the extent of the harm or how best to remediate it, and certain errors or actionscould be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remediated, all or any of which could further increase the costs andconsequences of a cyber attack or other security incident, and our remediation efforts may not be successful. The inability to implement,
maintain and upgrade adequate safeguards could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial
condition. As cyber attacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify orenhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, media reports about a cyber attack or other significant security incident affecting the Company, whether accurate or not, or,
under certain circumstances, our failure to make adequate or timely disclosures to the public, law enforcement, other regulatory agencies or
affected individuals following any such event, whether due to delayed discovery or otherwise, could negatively impact our operating resultsand result in other negative consequences, including damage to our reputation or competitiveness, harm to our relationships with customers,partners, suppliers and other third parties, interruption to our management, remediation or increased protection costs, significant litigation orregulatory action, fines or penalties, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, operations, reputation or financial results.
Pandemics, epidemics or infectious disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may adversely affect local and global
economies and our business, operations or financial results.
Disruptions caused by pandemics, epidemics or infectious disease outbreaks could materially adversely affect our business, operations,financial results and forward-looking expectations. Governments' emergency measures to combat the spread could include restrictions onbusiness activity and travel, as well as requirements to isolate or quarantine. The duration and magnitude of such impacts will depend onmany factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. COVID-19 and government responses interrupted business activities and supply
chains, disrupted travel, and contributed to significant volatility in the financial and commodity markets.
Disruptions related to pandemics, epidemics or infectious disease outbreaks could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks
described in this Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military activity in response to these attacks or acts of war, and other civil unrest oractivism could adversely affect our business, operations or financial results.Terrorist attacks and threats (which may take the form of cyber attacks), escalation of military activity, armed hostilities, war, sabotage, or civil
unrest or activism may have significant effects on general economic conditions and may cause fluctuations in consumer confidence and
spending and market liquidity, each of which could adversely affect our business. Future terrorist attacks, rumors or threats of war, actualconflicts involving the US or Canada, or military or trade disruptions may significantly affect our operations and those of our customers.Strategic critical infrastructure targets, such as energy-related assets, are at greater risk of cyber attack and may be at greater risk of otherfuture attacks than other targets in the US and Canada. The Company’s infrastructure and projects under construction could be direct targets
or indirect casualties of a cyber or physical attack. In addition, increased environmental activism against pipeline construction and operation
could potentially result in work delays, reduced demand for our products and services, new legislation or public policy or increased stringency
thereof, or denial or delay of permits and rights-of-way.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
There are utilization risks with respect to our assets.With respect to our Liquids Pipelines assets, we may be exposed to throughput risk on the Canadian Mainline depending upon the tollingframework we adopt for that system, and we are exposed to throughput risk under certain tolling agreements applicable to other Liquids
Pipelines assets, such as the Lakehead System. A decrease in volumes transported can directly and adversely affect our revenues and
earnings. Factors such as changing market fundamentals, capacity bottlenecks, regulatory restrictions, maintenance and operationalincidents on our system and upstream or downstream facilities, and increased competition can all impact the utilization of our assets. Marketfundamentals, such as commodity prices and price differentials, weather, gasoline price and consumption, alternative and new energysources and technologies, and global supply disruptions outside of our control can impact both the supply of and demand for crude oil and
other liquid hydrocarbons transported on our pipelines.
47
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 47 of 286
With respect to our Gas Transmission and Midstream assets, gas supply and demand dynamics continue to change due to shifts in regional
and global production and consumption. These shifts can lead to fluctuations in commodity prices and price differentials, resulting in
oversupply of pipeline takeaway capacity in some areas and an adverse effect to the utilization of our systems. Other factors affecting systemutilization include operational incidents, regulatory restrictions, system maintenance, and increased competition.
With respect to our Gas Distribution and Storage assets, customers are billed on both a fixed charge and volumetric basis and our ability tocollect the total revenue requirement (the cost of providing service, including a reasonable return to the utility) depends on achieving theforecast distribution volume established in the rate-making process. The probability of realizing such volume is contingent upon four key
forecast variables: weather, economic conditions, pricing of competitive energy sources and growth in the number of customers. Weather is a
significant driver of delivery volumes, given that a significant portion of our Gas Distribution customer base uses natural gas for spaceheating. Distribution volume may also be impacted by the increased adoption of energy efficient technologies, along with more efficientbuilding construction, that continue to place downward pressure on consumption. In addition, conservation efforts by customers may furthercontribute to a decline in annual average consumption. Sales and transportation service to large volume commercial and industrial customers
is more susceptible to prevailing economic conditions. As well, the pricing of competitive energy sources affects volume distributed to these
sectors as some customers have the ability to switch to an alternate fuel. Even in those circumstances where we attain our respective totalforecast distribution volume, our Gas Distribution business may not earn its expected ROE due to other forecast variables, such as the mixbetween the higher margin residential and commercial sectors and the lower margin industrial sector. Our Gas Distribution business remainsat risk for the actual versus forecast large volume contract commercial and industrial volumes.
With respect to our Renewable Power Generation assets, earnings from these assets are highly dependent on weather and atmospheric
conditions as well as continued operational availability of these energy producing assets. While the expected energy yields for Renewable
Power Generation projects are predicted using long-term historical data, wind and solar resources are subject to natural variation from year-to-year and from season-to-season. Any prolonged reduction in wind or solar resources at any of the Renewable Power Generation facilitiescould lead to decreased earnings and cash flows. Additionally, inefficiencies or interruptions of Renewable Power Generation facilities due tooperational disturbances or outages resulting from weather conditions or other factors, could also impact earnings.
Our assets vary in age and were constructed over many decades which causes our inspection, maintenance or repair costs to
increase.Our pipelines vary in age and were constructed over many decades. Pipelines are generally long-lived assets, and pipeline construction andcoating techniques have changed over time. Depending on the era of construction and construction techniques, some assets require morefrequent inspections, which has resulted in and is expected to continue to result in increased maintenance or repair expenditures in the
future. Any significant increase in these expenditures could adversely affect our business, operations or financial results.
48
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 48 of 286
Competition may result in a reduction in demand for our services, fewer project opportunities or assumption of risk that results in
weaker or more volatile financial performance than expected.
Our Liquids Pipelines business faces competition from competing carriers available to ship liquid hydrocarbons to markets in Canada, the USand internationally and from proposed pipelines that seek to access basins and markets currently served by our Liquids Pipelines.Competition among existing pipelines is based primarily on the cost of transportation, access to supply, the quality and reliability of service,contract carrier alternatives and proximity to markets. The liquids transported in our pipelines currently, or are expected to increasingly,
compete with other emerging alternatives for end-users, including, but not limited to, electric batteries, biofuels, and hydrogen. Additionally,
we face competition from alternative storage facilities. Our natural gas transmission and storage businesses compete with similar facilitiesthat serve our supply and market areas in the transmission and storage of natural gas. The natural gas transported in our business alsocompetes with other forms of energy available to our customers and end-users, including electricity, coal, propane, fuel oils, and renewableenergy. Our Renewable Power Generation business faces competition in the procurement of long-term power purchase agreements and
from other fuel sources in the markets in which we operate. Competition in all of our businesses, including competition for new project
development opportunities, could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Completion of our secured projects and maintenance programs are subject to various regulatory, operational and market risks,
which may affect our ability to drive long-term growth.Our project execution continues to face challenges with intense scrutiny on regulatory and environmental permit applications, politicizedpermitting, public opposition including protests, action to repeal permits, and resistance to land access.
Continued challenges with global supply chains have created unpredictability in materials cost and availability. Labor shortages and union
strikes have increased costs of engineering and construction services.
Other events that can and have delayed project completion and increased anticipated costs include contractor or supplier non-performance,extreme weather events or geological factors beyond our control.
Changing expectations of stakeholders regarding ESG practices and climate change could erode stakeholder trust and confidence,damage our reputation and influence actions or decisions about our company and industry and have negative impacts on ourbusiness, operations or financial results.
Companies across all sectors and industries are facing changing expectations or increasing scrutiny from stakeholders related to their
approach to ESG matters of greatest relevance to their business and to their stakeholders. For energy companies, climate change, GHGemissions, safety and stakeholder and Indigenous relations remain primary focus areas, while other environmental elements such asbiodiversity and supply chain are ascendant. Companies in the energy industry are experiencing stakeholder opposition to new and existinginfrastructure, as well as organized opposition to oil and natural gas extraction and shipment of oil and natural gas products. Changing
expectations of our practices and performance across these ESG areas may impose additional costs or create exposure to new or additional
risks. We are also exposed to the risk of higher costs, delays, project cancellations, loss of ability to secure new growth opportunities, newrestrictions or the cessation of operations of existing pipelines due to increasing pressure on governments and regulators, and legal action,such as the legal challenges to the operation of Line 5 in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Our operations, projects and growth opportunities require us to have strong relationships with key stakeholders, including local communities,Indigenous groups and others directly impacted by our activities, as well as governments, regulatory agencies, investors and investor
advocacy groups, investment funds, financial institutions, insurers and others, which are increasingly focused on ESG practices and
performance.
49
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 49 of 286
Enhanced public awareness of climate change has driven an increase in demand for lower-carbon and zero-emissions energy. Over the past
year, the invasion of Ukraine and inflationary pressure following the COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the critical need for access to
secure affordable energy. Enbridge has a long history of diversifying its portfolio of businesses to align with the mix of energy that peopleneed and want. The pace and scale of the transition to a lower-emission economy may pose a risk if Enbridge diversifies either too quickly ortoo slowly. Similarly, unexpected shifts in energy demands, including due to climate change concerns, can impact revenue through reducedthroughput volumes on our pipeline transportation systems.
We have long been committed to strong ESG practices, performance and reporting, and in 2020 introduced a set of ESG goals to strengthen
transparency and accountability. The goals include increasing diversity and inclusion within our organization and reducing GHG emissions
from our operations to net-zero by 2050, with corporate and business unit action plans aligned to our strategic priority to adapt to the energytransition over time. The costs associated with meeting our ESG goals, including our GHG emissions reduction goals, could be significant.There is also a risk that some or all of the expected benefits and opportunities of achieving our ESG goals may fail to materialize, may costmore than anticipated to achieve, may not occur within the anticipated time periods or may no longer meet changing stakeholder
expectations. Similarly, there is a risk that emissions reduction technologies do not materialize as expected making it more difficult to reduce
emissions. If we are not able to achieve our ESG goals, are not able to meet current and future climate, emissions or related reportingrequirements of regulators, or are unable to meet or manage current and future expectations regarding issues important to investors or otherstakeholders (including those related to climate change), it could erode stakeholder trust and confidence, which could negatively impact our
reputation, business, operations or financial results. Potential impacts could also include changing investor sentiment regarding investment in
Enbridge or impair our access to and increase our cost of capital, including penalties associated with our sustainability-linked financing.
Our forecasted assumptions may not materialize as expected, including on our expansion projects, acquisitions and divestitures.
We evaluate expansion projects, acquisitions and divestitures on an ongoing basis. Planning and investment analysis is highly dependent onaccurate forecasting assumptions and to the extent that these assumptions do not materialize, financial performance may be lower or morevolatile than expected. Volatility and unpredictability in the economy, both locally and globally, and changes in cost estimates, project scopingand risk assessment could result in a loss of profits. Similarly, uncertainty in market signals, such as abrupt and unexpected shifts in energy
costs and demands, as we saw in 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, have impacted, and may in the future impact, revenue
through reduced throughput volumes on our pipeline transportation systems.
Our insurance coverage may not fully cover our losses in the event of an accident, natural disaster or other hazardous event, and
we may encounter increased cost arising from the maintenance of, or lack of availability of, insurance.Our operations are subject to many hazards inherent in our industry. Our assets may experience physical damage as a result of an accident
or natural disaster. These hazards can also cause, and in some cases have caused, personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and
destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage, and suspension of operations.
We maintain an insurance program for us, our subsidiaries and certain of our affiliates to mitigate a certain portion of our risks. However, notall potential risks arising from our operations are insurable, or are insured by us as a result of availability, high premiums and for various otherreasons. The Company self-insures a significant portion of certain risks through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries, and theCompany’s insurance coverage is subject to terms and conditions, exclusions and large deductibles or self-insured retentions which may
reduce or eliminate coverage in certain circumstances.
50
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 50 of 286
The Company’s insurance policies are generally renewed on an annual basis and, depending on factors such as market conditions, the
premiums, terms, policy limits and/or deductibles can vary substantially. We can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate
insurance in the future at rates or on other terms we consider commercially reasonable. In such case, we may decide to self-insure additionalrisks.
A significant self-insured loss, uninsured loss, a loss significantly exceeding the limits of our insurance policies, a significant delay in thepayment of a major insurance claim, or the failure to renew insurance policies on similar or favorable terms could materially and adverselyaffect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers, counterparties, and vendors.
We are exposed to the credit risk of multiple parties in the ordinary course of our business. Generally, our customers are rated investment-
grade, are otherwise considered creditworthy or provide us security to satisfy credit concerns. However, we cannot predict to what extent ourbusiness would be impacted by deteriorating conditions in the economy, including possible declines in the creditworthiness of our customers,vendors, or counterparties. It is possible that payment or performance defaults from these entities, if significant, could adversely affect ourearnings and cash flows.
Our business is exposed to changes in market prices including interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Our risk management
policies cannot eliminate all risks and may result in material financial losses. In addition, any non-compliance with our risk
management policies could adversely affect our business, operations or financial results.Our use of debt financing exposes us to changes in interest rates on both future fixed rate debt issuances and floating rate debt. While ourfinancial results are denominated in Canadian dollars, many of our businesses have foreign currency revenues or expenses, particularly the
US dollar. Changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates could materially impact our financial results.
We use financial derivatives to manage risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices, power
prices and our share price to reduce volatility of our cash flows. Based on our risk management policies, substantially all of our financialderivatives are associated with an underlying asset, liability and/or forecasted transaction and not intended for speculative purposes.
These policies cannot, however, eliminate all risk, including unauthorized trading. Although this activity is monitored independently by ourRisk Management function, we can provide no assurance that we will detect and prevent all unauthorized trading and other violations,particularly if deception, collusion or other intentional misconduct is involved, and any such violations could adversely affect our business,
operations or financial results.
In addition, to the extent that we hedge our foreign exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices, we will forego the benefits we would
otherwise experience if these were to change in our favor. In addition, hedging activities can result in losses that might be material to ourfinancial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such losses have occurred in the past and could occur in the future. See Part II,
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for adiscussion of our derivative instruments and related hedging activities.
51
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 51 of 286
Our business requires the retention and recruitment of a skilled and diverse workforce, and difficulties in recruiting and retaining
our workforce could result in a failure to implement our business plans.
Our operations and management require the retention and recruitment of a skilled and diverse workforce, including engineers, technicalpersonnel, other professionals and executive officers and senior management. We and our affiliates compete with other companies in theenergy industry, and for some jobs the broader labor market, for this skilled workforce. If we are unable to retain current employees and/orrecruit new employees of comparable knowledge and experience, our business could be negatively impacted. In addition, we could
experience increased costs to retain and recruit these professionals.
Our Liquids Pipelines growth rate and results may be directly and indirectly affected by commodity prices and government policy.
Effective December 31, 2021, the Government of Alberta lifted the oil production curtailment that was imposed in December 2018. Widecommodity price basis between Western Canada and global tidewater markets have negatively impacted producer netbacks and margins inthe past years that largely resulted from pipeline infrastructure takeaway capacity from producing regions in Western Canada and NorthDakota which are operating at capacity. A protracted long-term outlook for low crude oil prices could result in delay or cancellation of future
projects.
The tight conventional oil plays of Western Canada, the Permian basin, and the Bakken region of North Dakota have short cycle break-even
time horizons, typically less than 24 months, and high decline rates that can be well managed through active hedging programs and arepositioned to react quickly to market signals. Accordingly, during periods of comparatively low prices, drilling programs, unsupported byhedging programs, will be reduced and as such, supply growth from tight oil basins may be lower, which may impact volumes on our pipelinesystems.
Our Energy Services and Gas Transmission and Midstream results may be adversely affected by commodity price volatility.
Within our US Midstream assets, through our investments in DCP and Aux Sable, we are engaged in the businesses of gathering, treatingand processing natural gas and natural gas liquids. The financial results of these businesses are directly impacted by changes in commodityprices. To a lesser degree, the financial results of our US Transmission business are subject to fluctuation in power prices which impactelectric power costs associated with operating compressor stations.
Energy Services generates margin by capitalizing on quality, time and location differentials when opportunities arise. Changing market
conditions that impact the prices at which we buy and sell commodities have in the past limited margin opportunities and impeded Energy
Services' ability to cover capacity commitments and could do so again in the future. Other market conditions, such as backwardation, havelikewise limited margin opportunities.
We rely on access to short-term and long-term capital markets to finance capital requirements and support liquidity needs. Costeffective access to those markets can be affected, particularly if we or our rated subsidiaries are unable to maintain an investment-grade credit rating.
A significant portion of our consolidated asset base is financed with debt. The maturity and repayment profile of debt used to finance
investments often does not correlate to cash flows from assets. Accordingly, we rely on access to both short-term and long-term capitalmarkets as a source of liquidity for capital requirements not satisfied by cash flows from operations and to refinance investments originallyfinanced with debt. Our senior unsecured long-term debt is currently rated investment-grade by various rating agencies. If the rating agencieswere to rate us or our rated subsidiaries below investment-grade, our borrowing costs would increase, perhaps significantly. Consequently,
we would likely be required to pay a higher interest rate in future financings and our potential pool of investors and funding sources could
decrease.
52
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 52 of 286
We maintain revolving credit facilities at various entities to backstop commercial paper programs, for borrowings and for providing letters of
credit. These facilities typically include financial covenants and failure to maintain these covenants at a particular entity could preclude that
entity from accessing the credit facility, which could impact liquidity. Furthermore, if our short-term debt rating were to be downgraded, accessto the commercial paper market could be significantly limited. Although this would not affect our ability to draw under our credit facilities,borrowing costs could be significantly higher.
Recently, interest rates have increased significantly. If we are not able to access capital at competitive rates or at all, our ability to financeoperations and implement our strategy may be affected. An inability to access capital on favorable terms or at all may limit our ability to
pursue enhancements or acquisitions that we may otherwise rely on for future growth or to refinance our existing indebtedness. Any
downgrade or other event negatively affecting the credit ratings of our subsidiaries could make their costs of borrowing higher or access tofunding sources more limited, which in turn could increase our need to provide liquidity in the form of capital contributions or loans to suchsubsidiaries, thus reducing the liquidity and borrowing availability of the consolidated group.
RISKS RELATED TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGAL RISKS
Many of our operations are regulated and failure to secure timely regulatory approval for our proposed projects, or loss of required
approvals for our existing operations, could have a negative impact on our business, operations or financial results.
The nature and degree of regulation and legislation affecting permitting and environmental review for energy infrastructure companies inCanada and the US continues to evolve.
Within the US and in Canada, pipeline companies continue to face opposition from anti-energy/anti-pipeline activists, Indigenous and tribalgroups and communities, citizens, environmental groups, and politicians concerned with either the safety of pipelines or their potentialenvironmental effects. In the US, the Environmental Protection Agency redefined the Waters of the United States under Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act, and the FERC released draft policy statements on the Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Facilities and the
Consideration of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Natural Gas Infrastructure Project Review that could introduce changes to the regulatoryapproval process for natural gas infrastructure. The Council for Environmental Quality published immediately applicable guidance forconducting analyses under the National Environmental Policy Act that may significantly change environmental scope and cost assessments.Many other regulations adopted during the previous US presidential administration are being challenged in multiple courts and some have
been overturned by reviewing courts. The current US administration may take further action to modify or reverse regulations that were
promulgated by the previous US administration.
In March of 2023, the Supreme Court of Canada will hear the Attorney General of Canada’s appeal of the Alberta Court of Appeal’s non-binding decision that the federal Impact Assessment Act (“IAA”) is unconstitutional. The IAA includes impact assessment requirements thatcould apply to either federally or provincially regulated pipeline projects that fall within prescribed criteria or that the federal Minister ofEnvironment otherwise designates for review. The potential for any pipeline project to be subject to IAA requirements adds significant
uncertainty as to regulatory timelines and outcomes. The Alberta Court of Appeal found that the IAA is an impermissible federal overreach
into provincial jurisdiction that would amount to a de facto expropriation of provincial natural resources and proprietary interests by the federalgovernment. The Supreme Court of Canada will determine whether the IAA and the related Physical Activities Regulations are within theconstitutional legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada, the outcome of which could impact the applicability of the legislation toprovincially regulated pipeline projects.
53
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 53 of 286
These actions could adversely impact permitting of a wide range of energy projects. We may not be able to obtain or maintain all required
regulatory approvals for our operating assets or development projects. If there is a significant delay in obtaining any required regulatory
approvals, if we fail to obtain or comply with them, or if laws or regulations change or are administered in a more stringent manner, theoperations of facilities or the development of new facilities could be prevented, delayed or become subject to additional costs.
Our operations are subject to numerous environmental and climate laws and regulations, including those relating to climatechange and GHG emissions and climate-related disclosure, compliance with which may require significant capital expenditures,increase our cost of operations, and affect or limit our business plans, or expose us to environmental liabilities.
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations affecting many aspects of our past, current, and future operations, including
air emissions, water quality, wastewater discharges, solid waste and hazardous waste.
If we are unable to obtain or maintain all required environmental regulatory approvals and permits for our operating assets and projects or ifthere is a delay in obtaining any required environmental regulatory approvals or permits, the operation of existing facilities or thedevelopment of new facilities could be prevented, delayed, or become subject to additional costs. Failure to comply with environmental lawsand regulations may result in the imposition of civil or criminal fines, penalties and injunctive measures affecting our operating assets. We
expect that changes in environmental laws and regulations, including those related to climate change and GHG emissions, could result in a
material increase in our cost of compliance with such laws and regulations, such as costs to monitor and report our emissions and install newemission controls to reduce emissions. We may not be able to include some or all of such increased costs in the rates charged for utilizationof our pipelines or other facilities.
Our operations are subject to operational regulation and other requirements, including compliance with easements and other land
tenure documents, and failure to comply with applicable regulations and other requirements could have a negative impact on our
reputation, business, operations or financial results.Operational risks relate to compliance with applicable operational rules and regulations mandated by governments, applicable regulatoryauthorities, or other requirements that may be found in easements, permits, or other agreements that provide a legal basis for our operations,breaches of which could result in fines, penalties, awards of damages, operating restrictions (including shutdown of lines) and an overall
increase in operating and compliance costs.
We do not own all of the land on which our pipelines, facilities and other assets are located and we obtain the rights to construct and operate
our pipelines and other assets from third parties or government entities. In addition, some of our pipelines, facilities and other assets crossIndigenous lands pursuant to rights-of-way or other land tenure interests. Our loss of these rights could have an adverse effect on ourreputation, operations and financial results. We have experienced litigation in relation to certain Line 5 easements; refer to Part II. Item 7.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Legal and Other Updates.
54
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 54 of 286
Regulatory scrutiny over our assets and operations has the potential to increase operating costs or limit future projects. Regulatory
enforcement actions issued by regulators for non-compliant findings can increase operating costs and negatively impact reputation. Potential
regulatory changes and legal challenges could have an impact on our future earnings from existing operations and the cost related to theconstruction of new projects. Regulators' future actions may differ from current expectations, or future legislative changes may impact theregulatory environments in which we operate. While we seek to mitigate operational regulation risk by actively monitoring and consulting onpotential regulatory requirement changes with the respective regulators directly, or through industry associations, and by developing
response plans to regulatory changes or enforcement actions, such mitigation efforts may be ineffective or insufficient. While we believe the
safe and reliable operation of our assets and adherence to existing regulations is the best approach to managing operational regulatory risk,the potential remains for regulators or other government officials to make unilateral decisions that could disrupt our operations or have anadverse financial impact on us.
Our operations are subject to economic regulation and failure to secure regulatory approval for our proposed or existingcommercial arrangements could have a negative impact on our business, operations or financial results.
Our Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Gas Distribution assets face economic regulation risk. Broadly defined, economic regulation
risk is the risk that governments or regulatory agencies change or reject proposed or existing commercial arrangements or policies, includingpermits and regulatory approvals for both new and existing projects or agreements, upon which future and current operations are dependent.Our Mainline System, other liquids pipelines, gas transmission and distribution assets are subject to the actions of various regulators,including the CER, the FERC, and the OEB with respect to the rates, tariffs, and tolls for these assets. The changing or rejecting of
commercial arrangements, including decisions by regulators on the applicable permits and tariff structure or changes in interpretations of
existing regulations by courts or regulators such as with respect to the Mainline Commercial Framework, could have an adverse effect on ourrevenues and earnings.
Our Renewable Power Generation assets in Europe (France, Germany and the UK) are also subject to the directives, regulations andpolicies established and enforced by the EU and the UK government. These measures are variable and can include price controls, caps anddemand reduction goals, all of which can have a negative impact on our revenues and earnings.
We are subject to changes in our tax rates, the adoption of new US, Canadian or international tax legislation or exposure to
additional tax liabilities.We are subject to taxes in the US, Canada and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in variousjurisdictions may be subject to significant change. Our effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countrieswith differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. In
particular, Canada has introduced interest deductibility rules, the US enacted the Inflation Reduction Act and we are anticipating a minimum
tax rate to be introduced on a global basis for OECD countries. All of these measures could cause our effective tax rate to increase.
We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the US Internal Revenue Service, the Canada RevenueAgency and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from theseexaminations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. Ifour effective tax rates were to increase, particularly in the US or Canada, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount
in excess of amounts previously accrued, our financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
55
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 55 of 286
We are involved in numerous legal proceedings, the outcomes of which are uncertain, and resolutions adverse to us could
adversely affect our financial results.
We are subject to numerous legal proceedings. In recent years, there has been an increase in climate and disclosure-related litigationagainst governments as well as companies involved in the energy industry. There is no assurance that we will not be impacted by suchlitigation, or by other legal proceedings. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and we cannot predict the outcome of individual matterswith assurance. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of the matters in which we are involved or new matters could
require additional expenditures, in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that could
adversely affect our financial results or affect our reputation. Refer to Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Legal and Other Updates for a discussion of certain legal proceedings with recent developments.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Descriptions of our properties and maps depicting the locations of our liquids and natural gas systems are included in Part I. Item
1. Business.
In general, our systems are located on land owned by others and are operated under easements and rights-of-way, licenses, leases or
permits that have been granted by private land-owners, First Nations, Native American Tribes, public authorities, railways or public utilities.Our liquids pipeline systems have pumping stations, tanks, terminals and certain other facilities that are located on land that is owned by usand/or used by us under easements, licenses, leases or permits. Additionally, our natural gas pipeline systems have natural gas compressorstations, of which the vast majority are located on land that is owned by us, with the remainder used by us under easements, leases or
permits.
Titles to Enbridge owned properties or affiliate entities may be subject to encumbrances in some cases. We believe that none of these
burdens should materially detract from the value of these properties or materially interfere with their use in the operation of our business.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the finaloutcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions andproceedings will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Refer to Part II. Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Legal and Other Updates for discussion of certain
legal proceedings with recent developments.
SEC regulations require the disclosure of any proceeding under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party unless theregistrant reasonably believes it will not result in monetary sanctions over a certain threshold. Given the size of our operations, we haveelected to use a threshold of US$1 million for the purposes of determining proceedings requiring disclosure.

payment of $241 million (US$177 million), bringing our total non-operating ownership to 30.0%. Plains All-American Pipeline, L.P. remainsthe operator with a 70% ownership stake.
Woodfibre LNG Limited Partnership AgreementOn November 29, 2022, we finalized our partnership agreement with Pacific Energy Corporation Limited. We acquired, for cash payment of$533 million (US$392 million), an effective 30.0% interest in Woodfibre LNG Limited Partnership (Woodfibre), which will operate the 2.1
million tonnes per annum Woodfibre LNG facility located in Squamish, British Columbia (BC). The facility, via an interconnect with FortisBC
Energy Inc., is an extension of the BC Pipeline System, which will supply gas to the facility under a 40-year transportation agreement.
GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM PROCEEDINGSTexas Eastern TransmissionTexas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) filed two rate cases in the third quarter of 2021. These two rate proceedings have sincebeen consolidated and settlement negotiations began during the first quarter of 2022. An uncontested settlement in principle was reached on
July 7, 2022. Texas Eastern filed an uncontested Stipulation and Agreement on September 8, 2022 to resolve all issues from the rate
proceedings. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the Stipulation and Agreement on November 30, 2022, and theStipulation and Agreement became effective on January 1, 2023.
Maritimes & Northeast PipelineThe toll settlement agreement for the Canadian portion of our Maritimes & Northeast (M&N Canada) Pipeline system expired in December
2021. In December 2021, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) approved interim tolls for M&N Canada effective January 1, 2022, which were
based on the negotiated 2022 tolls in the 2022-2023 settlement agreement and unanimously supported by shippers. The 2022-2023 M&NCanada settlement agreement was approved by the CER in February 2022.
British Columbia PipelineThe toll settlement agreement for our BC Pipeline system expired in December 2021. In December 2021, the CER approved interim tolls forBC Pipeline effective January 1, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2022, a five-year 2022-2026 BC Pipeline settlement agreement was approved
by shippers and subsequently approved as filed by the CER.
GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE RATE APPLICATIONS2022 Rate ApplicationEnbridge Gas Inc.'s (Enbridge Gas) rate applications are filed in two phases. In June 2021, Enbridge Gas filed Phase 1 of the applicationwith the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for the setting of rates for 2022 (the 2022 Application). The 2022 Application was filed in accordancewith the parameters of Enbridge Gas' OEB approved Price Cap Incentive Regulation (IR) rate setting mechanism and represents the fourth
year of a five-year term. In October 2021, the OEB approved a Phase 1 Settlement Proposal and Interim Rate Order effective January 1,
2022. In April 2022, the OEB issued its decision on Phase 2 of the 2022 Application filed in October 2021, addressing incremental capitalmodule (ICM) funding requirements, under which $127 million of the requested capital funding was approved and incorporated into finalrates, effective July 1, 2022.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 61 of 286
2023 Rate Application
In June 2022, Enbridge Gas filed Phase 1 of the application with the OEB for the setting of rates for 2023 (the 2023 Application). The 2023
Application was filed in accordance with the parameters of Enbridge Gas' OEB approved Price Cap IR rate setting mechanism andrepresents the final year of a five-year term. In November 2022, the OEB approved the Phase 1 Settlement Proposal and Final Rate Ordereffective January 1, 2023. In addition, Enbridge Gas did not anticipate 2023 capital investments to require incremental funding during thefinal year of its current Price Cap IR term, and, as such, Enbridge Gas did not make a Phase 2 ICM request as part of the 2023 Application.
2024 Rebasing and Incentive Rate-Setting Mechanism Application
In October 2022, Enbridge Gas filed its application with the OEB to establish a 2024 through 2028 rate setting framework. The application
and framework seek approval to establish 2024 base rates on a cost-of-service basis and to establish a price cap IR rate setting mechanismto be used for the remainder of the IR term (2025-2028). The OEB has determined it will hear the application in two phases, with Phase 1addressing items that affect rates effective January 1, 2024, and Phase 2 addressing items that will affect rates subsequent to January 1,2024. An OEB decision is expected on Phase 1 of the application in the second half of 2023.
Purchase Gas Variance
The Purchase Gas Variance Account (PGVA) captures the difference between actual and forecasted natural gas prices reflected in rates.
Account balances are typically recovered or refunded over a prospective 12-month period through Quarterly Rate Adjustment Mechanism(QRAM) applications.
In March and June 2022, the OEB approved Enbridge Gas' April 1, 2022 and July 1, 2022 QRAM applications, respectively. Due to thesignificant increase in natural gas prices, the approvals have also included rate mitigation plans intended to ease bill impacts to ratepayers.
Specifically, the approved rate mitigation plans extended the PGVA recovery period from 12 months to 24 months in both applications. As an
additional mitigation measure, as part of the April 1, 2022 QRAM, a portion of the PGVA balance was deferred for recovery, which wassubsequently approved for recovery as part of the July 1, 2022 QRAM. In September and December 2022, the October 1, 2022 and January1, 2023 QRAM applications were filed and approved by the OEB with no adjustments to the prior period rate mitigation plans and did notinclude any additional rate mitigation measures.
As at December 31, 2022, Enbridge Gas' PGVA receivable balance was $434 million.
FINANCING UPDATE
We completed long-term debt issuances totaling US$3.2 billion and $3.4 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022, including
$900 million of 10-year sustainability-linked medium-term notes in November 2022. We increased our credit facilities during our annualrenewal process by approximately $640 million and also entered into new term loans with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2027 totalingapproximately $3.2 billion.
Our 2022 financing activities have provided significant liquidity that we expect will enable us to fund our current portfolio of capital projectswithout requiring access to the capital markets for the next 12 months should market access be restricted or pricing be unattractive. Refer to
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As at December 31, 2022, after adjusting for the impact of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap hedges, approximately 6% of our total debt isexposed to floating rates. Refer to Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 24. Risk Management and Financial

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
Year ended December 31, 2022 compared with year ended December 31, 2021
Earnings attributable to common shareholders decreased by $3,368 million due to certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily
explained by the following:•a goodwill impairment of $2.5 billion relating to our Gas Transmission reporting unit;
•non-cash, net unrealized derivative fair value losses of $1,265 million ($964 million after-tax) in 2022, compared with unrealized gains of$197 million ($150 million after-tax) in 2021, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used tomanage foreign exchange risks;•an asset impairment loss of $227 million ($173 million after-tax) to our Magic Valley Wind Farm (Magic Valley);
1

63
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 63 of 286
•an asset impairment loss of $183 million ($137 million after-tax) on the US and Canadian components of the interstate pipeline
transportation system within the North Dakota System of our Bakken System;
•a transaction cost of $114 million in relation to our investment purchase in the Woodfibre LNG project;•an impairment of $44 million ($34 million after-tax) for lease assets due to office relocation plans;•an asset impairment loss of $40 million ($30 million after-tax) relating to MacKay River line within our Alberta Regional Oil SandsSystem;
•the absence in 2022 of a gain of $303 million ($298 million after-tax) from the sale of our investment in Noverco Inc. (Noverco); and
•the absence in 2022 of a $57 million ($43 million after-tax) property tax settlement received in 2021 related to the resolution of Minnesotaproperty tax appeals for 2012-2018.
The factors above were partially offset by:•a gain of $1,076 million ($732 million after-tax) on the closing of the joint venture merger transaction with P66 realigning our effectiveeconomic interests in Gray Oak and DCP;
•a gain of $118 million ($89 million after-tax) on Texas Eastern recorded to reflect a settlement with a transportation customer undergoing
bankruptcy;•a deferred tax benefit of $95 million recognized as a result of the reduced Pennsylvania state corporate income tax;•a non-cash, net negative equity earnings adjustment of $10 million ($7 million after-tax) in 2022, compared to a net negative adjustmentof $44 million ($33 million after-tax) in 2021 relating to our share of changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial
instruments of our equity method investee, DCP;
•transition and transformation costs of $66 million ($50 million after-tax) in 2022, compared to $147 million ($112 million after-tax) in 2021;and•the absence in 2022 of an impairment loss of $111 million ($83 million after-tax) to our investment in the PennEast Pipeline Company,LLC (PennEast) pipeline project.
The non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses discussed above generally arise as a result of our comprehensive economic
hedging program to mitigate foreign exchange and commodity price risks. This program creates volatility in reported short-term earnings
through the recognition of unrealized non-cash gains and losses on derivative instruments used to hedge these risks. Over the long-term, webelieve our hedging program supports the reliable cash flows and dividend growth upon which our investor value proposition is based.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $141 million increase in earnings attributable to common shareholders isprimarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•higher throughput within our Liquids Pipelines segment driven by higher demand and incremental Line 3 Replacement (L3R) capacity
that came into service October 2021;•increased earnings within our Liquids Pipelines segment from the implementation of the full L3R surcharge when compared to the lowersurcharge on the Canadian portion of the project in effect prior to October 2021, as well as from new US export assets acquired inOctober 2021;
•increased earnings from our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment primarily as a result of higher commodity prices benefiting our
investments in DCP and Aux Sable, as well as higher contributions from projects placed into service in November 2021; and•recognition of revenues attributable to the Texas Eastern rate case resulting from a FERC-approved Stipulation and Agreement; partiallyoffset by•the recognition of a provision against the interim Mainline International Joint Tariff (IJT) for barrels shipped for the full year in 2022, as
compared to the barrels shipped in the second half of 2021 following the expiry of the Competitive Toll Settlement (CTS);
64
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 64 of 286
•higher interest expense primarily due to higher interest rates and higher average principal, as well as reduced capitalized interest
associated with the US portion of the L3R Project placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2021;
•higher depreciation and amortization expense as a result of several projects placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2021, as well asfor new US export assets acquired in October 2021; and•higher income tax expense due to higher earnings, higher US minimum taxes, and the effect of rate-regulated accounting for incometaxes.
REVENUES
We generate revenues from three primary sources: transportation and other services, gas distribution sales and commodity sales.
Transportation and other services revenues of $18.5 billion, $16.2 billion and $16.2 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and
2020, respectively, were earned from our crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation businesses and also include power generationrevenues from our portfolio of renewable and power generation assets. For our transportation assets operating under market-basedarrangements, revenues are driven by volumes transported and the corresponding tolls for transportation services. For assets operatingunder take-or-pay contracts, revenues reflect the terms of the underlying contract for services or capacity. For rate-regulated assets,
revenues are charged in accordance with tolls established by the regulator and, in most cost-of-service based arrangements, are reflective of
our cost to provide the service plus a regulator-approved rate of return.
Gas distribution sales revenues of $5.7 billion, $4.0 billion and $3.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020,respectively, were recognized in a manner consistent with the underlying rate-setting mechanism mandated by the regulator. Revenuesgenerated by the gas distribution businesses are primarily driven by volumes delivered, which vary with weather and customer composition
and utilization, as well as regulator-approved rates. The cost of natural gas is passed through to customers through rates and does not
ultimately impact earnings due to its flow-through nature.
Commodity sales revenues of $29.2 billion, $26.9 billion and $19.3 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020,respectively, were generated primarily through our Energy Services operations. Energy Services includes the contemporaneous purchaseand sale of crude oil, natural gas, power and Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) to generate a margin, which is typically a small fraction of grossrevenue. While sales revenue generated from these operations are impacted by commodity prices, net margins and earnings are relatively
insensitive to commodity prices and reflect activity levels which are driven by differences in commodity prices between locations, grades and
points in time, rather than on absolute prices. Any residual commodity margin risk is closely monitored and managed. Revenues from theseoperations depend on activity levels, which vary from year-to-year depending on market conditions and commodity prices.
Our revenues also include changes in unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses related to foreign exchange and commodity pricecontracts used to manage exposures from movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The mark-to-market accountingcreates volatility and impacts the comparability of revenues in the short-term, but we believe over the long-term, the economic hedging
program supports reliable cash flows.

EBITDA was negatively impacted by $710 million due to certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the
following:•non-cash, net unrealized losses of $183 million in 2022, compared with unrealized gains of $120 million in 2021, reflecting net fair valuegains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchangerisks;

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $1.2 billion increase is primarily explained by the following significant
business factors:
•higher Mainline System ex-Gretna average throughput of 3.0 million barrels per day (mmbpd) in 2022 as compared to 2.8 mmbpd in2021 driven by higher demand and incremental L3R capacity that came into service October 2021;•implementation of the full L3R surcharge when compared to the lower surcharge on the Canadian portion of the project in effect prior toOctober 2021;
•higher contributions from the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent System due primarily to the acquisition of the Enbridge Ingleside Energy
Center and related assets in the fourth quarter of 2021 in addition to the increased effective economic interest in the Gray Oak pipeline
during the third quarter of 2022 and higher volumes from Flanagan South Pipeline;
•higher contributions from the Bakken System due to higher volumes; and•the favorable effect of translating US dollar EBITDA at a higher average exchange rate in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021;partially offset by•the recognition of a provision against the interim Mainline IJT for barrels shipped for the full year in 2022, as compared to the barrels
shipped in the second half of 2021 following the expiry of the CTS;
•lower contributions from the Seaway Crude Pipeline System, as well as from the Cushing and Hardisty storage assets as a result oflower demand; and•higher power costs as a result of increased volumes and power prices.

Year ended December 31, 2022 compared with year ended December 31, 2021
EBITDA was negatively impacted by $1.1 billion due to certain infrequent or other non-operating factors primarily explained by the following:
•a goodwill impairment of $2.5 billion; partially offset by
•a gain of $1,076 million on the closing of the joint venture merger transaction with P66 realigning our effective economic interests in Gray
Oak and DCP;
•the absence of the $111 million impairment loss in 2021 to our investment in the PennEast pipeline project after a decision by projectpartners to cease development;•a gain of $118 million on Texas Eastern recorded for a customer bankruptcy settlement; and•a non-cash, net negative equity earnings adjustment of $10 million in 2022, compared to a net negative adjustment of $44 million in 2021
relating to our share of changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments of our equity method investees, DCP and
Aux Sable.
After taking into consideration the factors above, we saw a $567 million increase, primarily explained by the following significant businessfactors:•higher commodity prices benefiting our DCP and Aux Sable joint ventures;•the favorable effect of translating US dollar EBITDA at a higher average exchange rate in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021;
•recognition of revenues attributable to the Texas Eastern rate case resulting from a FERC-approved Stipulation and Agreement;
•contributions from the T-South and Spruce Ridge expansion projects, the Cameron and Middlesex Extension projects, and theAppalachia to Market project after service commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021;•higher AECO-Chicago basis differential and lower costs benefiting earnings from our investment in Alliance; and•recognition of revenues attributable to the BC Pipeline rate settlement; partially offset by
•higher operating costs; and•a reduction in earnings from our investment in DCP as a result of our decreased effective economic interest due to the joint venture
merger transaction with P66 that closed during the third quarter of 2022.

Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 67 of 286
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $3 million increase is primarily explained by the following significant business
factors:
•higher distribution charges at Enbridge Gas resulting from increases in rates and customer base, as well as higher demand in thecontract market;•when compared with the normal weather forecast embedded in rates, colder than normal weather in 2022 positively impacted EnbridgeGas 2022 EBITDA by approximately $17 million while warmer than normal weather in 2021 negatively impacted 2021 EBITDA by
approximately $55 million; and
•lower pension related costs; partially offset by•the absence of earnings from Noverco due to the sale of our minority investment in December 2021; and•higher operating costs at Enbridge Gas largely driven by higher employee costs and higher maintenance and integrity spend.

EBITDA was negatively impacted by $272 million due to certain infrequent or non-operating factors, primarily explained by an impairmentloss of $227 million to Magic Valley.
After taking into consideration the negative factor above, the remaining $26 million increase is primarily explained by the following significant
business factors:
•higher energy pricing at European offshore wind facilities;•stronger wind resources at Canadian and US onshore wind facilities; and•the absence in 2022 of the adverse effects from the major winter storm in Texas during February 2021; partially offset by•the absence in 2022 of a promote fee received in the first quarter of 2021 associated with the closing of the sale of 49% of our interest in
three European offshore wind projects to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

EBITDA from Energy Services is dependent on market conditions and results achieved in one period may not be indicative of results to beachieved in future periods.
Year ended December 31, 2022 compared with year ended December 31, 2021
EBITDA was negatively impacted by $100 million due to certain non-operating factors, primarily explained by non-cash, unrealized losses of$27 million in 2022, compared with unrealized gains of $53 million in 2021, reflecting the revaluation of derivatives used to manage the
profitability of transportation and storage transactions, as well as to manage the exposure to movements in commodity prices.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 68 of 286
After taking into consideration the factor above, the remaining $4 million decrease is primarily explained by the following significant business
factors:•more pronounced market structure backwardation than in 2021 and significant compression of location differentials in certain markets;
partially offset by
•the absence of adverse impacts from the major winter storm experienced across the US Midwest during February 2021.

Eliminations and Other also includes theimpact of new business development activities and corporate investments.
Year ended December 31, 2022 compared with year ended December 31, 2021
EBITDA was negatively impacted by $1.2 billion due to certain infrequent or non-operating factors, primarily explained by:•non-cash, net unrealized losses of $1,090 million in 2022, compared with unrealized gains of $55 million in 2021, reflecting the change in
the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risk;
•a transaction cost of $114 million in relation to our investment purchase in the Woodfibre LNG project; and•an impairment of $44 million for lease assets due to office relocation plans in Houston.
After taking into consideration the non-operating factors above, we saw a $239 million decrease in EBITDA that is primarily explained by:•the lower realized foreign exchange gains on hedge settlements in 2022; and
•higher Operating and administrative expense largely driven by an increase in employee costs.

OTHER ANNOUNCED PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The following project has been announced by us, but has not yet met our criteria to be classified as commercially secured:
GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM
•Valley Crossing Expansion Project – On January 10, 2022, we executed a precedent agreement with Texas LNG Brownsville LLC
(Texas LNG) under which, via an expansion of our Valley Crossing Pipeline, we will provide 0.72 bcf/d firm transportation capacity to
Texas LNG’s proposed LNG liquefaction and export facility in the Port of Brownsville, Texas for a term of at least 20 years. Expansion ofthe pipeline will be subject to Texas LNG’s export facility reaching a final investment decision.
We also have a portfolio of additional projects under development that have not yet progressed to the point of securement.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The maintenance of financial strength and flexibility is fundamental to our growth strategy, particularly in light of the significant number andsize of capital projects currently secured or under development. Access to timely funding from capital markets could be limited by factorsoutside our control including, but not limited to, financial market volatility resulting from economic and political events both inside and outsideNorth America. To mitigate such risks, we actively manage financial plans and strategies to ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to meet
routine operating and future capital requirements. In the near term, we generally expect to utilize cash from operations together with
commercial paper issuance and/or credit facility draws and the proceeds of capital market offerings to fund liabilities as they become due,finance capital expenditures, fund debt retirements and pay common and preference share dividends. We target to maintain sufficientliquidity through securement of committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and financial institutions to enable us to fund allanticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets.
Material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of long-term contracts, annual debt maturities and
related interest obligations, rights-of-way and leases. See Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary data - Note 18 - Debt and
Note 27 - Leases for amounts outstanding at December 31, 2022, related to debt and leases.
Long-term contracts are contracts that we have signed for the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling $7.9 billion which areexpected to be paid over the next five years. Long-term contracts primarily consists of the following purchase obligations: firm capacitypayments for natural gas and crude oil transportation and storage contracts, natural gas purchase commitments, service and product
purchase obligations and power commitments.
Our financing plan is regularly updated to reflect evolving capital requirements and financial market conditions and identifies a variety of
potential sources of debt and equity funding alternatives. Our current financing plan does not include any issuances of common equity.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 73 of 286
In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which
$689 million was unutilized as at December 31, 2022. As at December 31, 2021, we had $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit
facilities, of which $854 million was unutilized.
As at December 31, 2022, our net available liquidity totaled $10.0 billion (2021 - $6.5 billion), consisting of available credit facilities of $9.1billion (2021 - $6.2 billion) and unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents of $861 million (2021 - $286 million) as reported in the ConsolidatedStatements of Financial Position.
Our credit facility agreements and term debt indentures include standard events of default and covenant provisions, whereby acceleratedrepayment and/or termination of the agreements may result if we were to default on payment or violate certain covenants. As at
December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and expect to continue to comply with such covenants.
Cash flow growth, ready access to liquidity from diversified sources and a stable business model have enabled us to manage our creditprofile. We actively monitor and manage key financial metrics with the objective of sustaining investment grade credit ratings from the majorcredit rating agencies and ongoing access to bank funding and term debt capital on attractive terms. In 2022, our credit ratings with DBRS
Morningstar, Fitch Ratings, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor's were all affirmed. Key measures of financial strength that
are closely managed include the ability to service debt obligations from operating cash flow and the ratio of debt to EBITDA.
There are no material restrictions on our cash. Total Restricted cash of $46 million, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of FinancialPosition, primarily includes cash collateral and future pipeline abandonment costs collected and held in trust. Cash and cash equivalents heldby certain subsidiaries may not be readily accessible for alternative use by us.
Excluding current maturities of long-term debt, as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had a negative working capital position of $2.1 billion
and $3.1 billion, respectively. In both periods, the major contributing factor to the negative working capital position was the current liabilities
associated with our growth capital program. To address this negative working capital position, we maintain significant liquidity in the form of committed credit facilities and other sourcesas previously discussed, which enable the funding of liabilities as they become due.

Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 74 of 286
Significant sources and uses of cash for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are summarized below:
Operating Activities
Typically, the primary factors impacting cash flow from operating activities year-over-year include changes in our operating assets and
liabilities in the normal course due to various factors, including the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices and activity levels on workingcapital within our business segments, the timing of tax payments, as well as timing of cash receipts and payments generally. Refer to Part II.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 29. Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities. Cash provided by operatingactivities is also impacted by changes in earnings and certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, as discussed under Results of
Operations.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures to execute our capital program, which is further described in Growth
Projects - Commercially Secured Projects. The timing of project approval, construction and in-service dates impacts the timing of cashrequirements.
A summary of additions to property, plant and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is set out below:
Year ended December 31,2022 2021 2020

Energy Services — 1 2
Eliminations and Other 33 54 90
Total capital expenditures 4,647 7,818 5,405
2022
The decrease in cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the following factors:
•lower capital expenditures due to the US L3R Program that was placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2021;•lower cash outflows related to acquisitions in 2022 when compared to 2021; and•proceeds received from the completion of a joint venture merger transaction for DCP Midstream LLC in August 2022.
The factors above were partially offset by:
•the absence in 2022 of proceeds received from dispositions in 2021 related to sale of our interest in Noverco in December 2021; and
•increased investments held by our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries.
2021
The increase in cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from our acquisition of Moda Midstream Operating, LLC and higher capitalexpenditures related to the completion of the US L3R Program in 2021, partially offset by higher proceeds received from dispositions in 2021compared to 2020 due to the sale of our interest in Noverco.
75
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 75 of 286
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities primarily relates to issuances and repayments of external debt, as well as transactions with our common
and preference shareholders relating to dividends, share issuances, share redemptions and common share repurchases under our NCIB.Cash flow from financing activities is also impacted by changes in distributions to, and contributions from, noncontrolling interests.
2022The increase in cash used in financing activities primarily resulted from the following factors:
•net commercial paper and credit facility repayments in 2022 when compared to draws in 2021;•higher long-term debt repayments along with lower long-term debt issuances in 2022 when compared to 2021;
•the redemption of Preference Shares, Series 17 and Series J in the first and second quarters of 2022, respectively;
•the repurchase and cancellation of 2,737,965 common shares under our NCIB for approximately $151 million in 2022; and•increased common share dividend payments primarily due to the increase in our common share dividend rate.
The factors above were partially offset by:
•proceeds received from the sale of a non-operating interest in seven pipelines from our Regional Oil Sands System in October 2022;•the absence in 2022 of the redemption of Westcoast's preferred shares in the first quarter of 2021; and
•higher short-term borrowings in 2022 when compared to 2021.
2021
The increase in cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from increased issuances of long-term debt, commercial paper andcredit facility draws and short-term borrowings, along with lower repayments of long-term debt in 2021 when compared to 2020.
The factors above were partially offset by the redemption of Westcoast's preferred shares in 2021 and increased common share dividendpayments primarily due to the increase in our common share dividend rate.

The Guaranteed Enbridge Notes and the Guaranteed Partnership Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of the SubsidiaryNon-Guarantors in respect of the assets of those Subsidiary Non-Guarantors.
Under US bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims may besubordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time the indebtedness evidenced by its
guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the guarantee:
•received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee and was insolvent or rendered
insolvent by reason of such incurrence;•was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or•intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.
The guarantees of the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes contain provisions to limit the maximum amount of liability that the Partnerships could
incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under the guarantee to be a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under US
federal or state law.
Each of the Partnerships is entitled to a right of contribution from the other Partnership for 50% of all payments, damages and expensesincurred by that Partnership in discharging its obligations under the guarantees for the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes.

LEGAL AND OTHER UPDATES
LIQUIDS PIPELINESLine 5 Easement (Bad River Band)On July 23, 2019, the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians (the Band) filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (the Court) over our Line 5 pipeline and right-of-way across the Bad River Reservation
(the Reservation). Only a small portion of the total easements across 12 miles of the Reservation are at issue. The Band alleges that ourcontinued use of Line 5 to transport crude oil and related liquids across the Reservation is a public nuisance under federal and state law andthat the pipeline is in trespass on certain tracts of land in which the Band possesses ownership interests. The complaint seeks an Orderprohibiting us from using Line 5 to transport crude oil and related liquids across the Reservation and requiring removal of the pipeline from
the Reservation. Subsequently amended versions of the complaint also seek recovery of profits-based damages based on an unjust
enrichment theory. Enbridge has responded to each claim in the initial and amended complaints with an answer, defenses andcounterclaims.
81
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 81 of 286
On August 29, 2022, the Government of Canada released a statement formally invoking the dispute settlement provisions of the 1977 Transit
Pipelines Treaty in respect of this litigation; reiterating its concerns about the uninterrupted transmission of hydrocarbons through Line 5. On
September 7, 2022, the Court issued a decision on cross-motions for summary judgment. The Court determined that the Band’s nuisanceclaim raised factual issues that could not be resolved on summary judgment. The Court further determined that Enbridge is in trespass on 12parcels on the Reservation and that the Band is entitled to some measure of profits-based damages and to an injunction, with the level ofdamages and scope of the injunction to be determined at trial, which occurred between October 24 and November 1, 2022. While the Court
reserved judgment at the conclusion of the trial, the summary judgment decision and subsequent pre-trial decisions provide that the Court
will assess trespass damages calculated using a pro-rata share of Enbridge’s profits from the operation of the pipeline attributable to the 12disputed parcels compared to the pipeline as a whole rather than the profits associated with the entire length of the pipeline, as the Bandsought. The Court has also stated that any injunction will not result in the immediate closure of the pipeline but also will not allow the pipeline
to operate indefinitely. On November 28, 2022, the Court issued an interim Order ruling that: (a) the parties are to meet and confer by
December 16 on installation of EFRDs (Emergency Flow Restriction Devices) on the Reservation, an appropriate shutdown and purge
protocol should conditions worsen at the meander, and any other reasonable remediation projects that could inhibit further erosion at themeander; (b) the parties are to submit a Joint Proposal by December 23 on appropriate shutoff and purge plan for the meander, or if theycannot agree, each party must submit their own best offer on a shutdown and purge protocol; and (c) denied Enbridge’s request fordeclaratory and injunctive relief on its counterclaims asking for Court-Ordered relief relating to access and erosion mitigation at the meander.
The parties met and conferred by December 16 and a Joint Status Report, along with individual best offers on shutdown and purge protocol,
were filed on December 23. We continue to wait on the Court’s rulings on the issues of financial compensation and Line 5’s operations.
Michigan Line 5 Dual Pipelines - Straits of Mackinac EasementIn 2019, the Michigan Attorney General (AG) filed a complaint in the Michigan Ingham County Circuit Court (the Circuit Court) that requeststhe Circuit Court to declare the easement granted in 1953 that we have for the operation of Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac (the Straits) tobe invalid and to prohibit continued operation of Line 5 in the Straits. On December 15, 2021, we removed the case to the US District Court in
the Western District of Michigan (US District Court), where it was assigned to Judge Janet T. Neff. The removal of the AG’s case to federal
court follows a November 16, 2021 ruling which held that the similar (and now dismissed) 2020 lawsuit brought by the Governor of Michiganto force Line 5’s shutdown raised important federal issues that should be heard in federal court. On December 21, 2021, the AG made arequest to file a remand motion and on December 28, 2021, we responded to her request to file that motion. On January 5, 2022, the courtissued an Order allowing the AG to file a motion to remand the 2019 case. The AG’s motion and brief were filed on January 14, 2022, and
our response was filed on February 11, 2022. The motion was fully briefed in March 2022. On August 18, 2022, Judge Neff denied the AG’s
motion to remand which now remains in the US District Court. On August 30, 2022, the AG filed a motion to certify the US District Court’sAugust 18 Order to pursue an appeal on the jurisdictional issue, which Enbridge opposed. We anticipate a decision on the jurisdictional issuein 2023.
Dakota Access PipelineWe own an effective interest of 27.6% in the Bakken Pipeline System, which is inclusive of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe filed lawsuits in 2016 with the US Court for the District of Columbia (the District Court)
contesting the lawfulness of the Army Corps easement for DAPL, including the adequacy of the Army Corps’ environmental review and tribalconsultation process. The Oglala Sioux and Yankton Sioux Tribes also filed lawsuits alleging similar claims in 2018.
82
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 82 of 286
On June 14, 2017, the District Court found the Army Corps’ environmental review to be deficient and ordered the Army Corps to conduct
further study concerning spill risks from DAPL. In August 2018, the Army Corps completed on remand the further environmental review
ordered by the District Court and reaffirmed the issuance of the easement for DAPL. All four plaintiff Tribes subsequently amended theircomplaints to include claims challenging the adequacy of the Army Corps’ August 2018 remand decision.
On March 25, 2020, in response to amended complaints from the Tribes, the District Court found the Army Corps’ environmental review onremand was deficient and ordered the Army Corps to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to address unresolved controversypertaining to potential spill impacts resulting from DAPL. On July 6, 2020, the District Court issued an order vacating the Army Corps’
easement for DAPL and ordering that the pipeline be shut down by August 5, 2020. Dakota Access, LLC and the Army Corps appealed the
decision and filed a motion for a stay pending appeal with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On August 5, 2020,the US Court of Appeals stayed the District Court’s July 6 order to shut down and empty the pipeline, but did not stay the District Court’sMarch 25 order requiring the Army Corps to prepare an EIS or the District Court’s July 6 order vacating the DAPL easement.
On January 26, 2021, the US Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision, holding that the Army Corps is required to prepare anEIS and that the Army Corps’ easement for DAPL is vacated. On February 22, 2022, the US Supreme Court denied the request of Dakota
Access, LLC to review the decision that an EIS is required. The US Court of Appeals also determined that, absent considering the closure of
DAPL in the context of an injunction proceeding, the District Court could not order DAPL’s operations to cease. While not an issue before theUS Court of Appeals, the US Court of Appeals also recognized that the Army Corps could consider whether to allow DAPL to continue tooperate in the absence of an easement.
On May 21, 2021, the District Court dismissed the plaintiff Tribes’ request for an injunction enjoining DAPL from operating until the Army
Corps has completed its EIS. The right of the plaintiff Tribes to appeal the denial of the injunction request expired on July 20, 2021. The Army
Corps earlier indicated that it did not intend, at that time, to exercise its authority to bar DAPL’s continued operation, notwithstanding theabsence of an easement and that it anticipates completion of the EIS process.
On July 22, 2021, the Army Corps filed a notice with the District Court advising that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials SafetyAdministration (PHMSA) issued a notice asserting violations of federal safety regulations resulting from the operation of DAPL. The ArmyCorps stated that it would consider PHMSA’s notice as part of its ongoing consideration of whether and how the Army Corps will enforce its
rights on property crossed by the pipeline and in the context of the ongoing EIS. The Army Corps also granted the request from the Tribes to
extend the draft EIS completion date to September 2022. The Army Corps now expects to complete the draft EIS in the spring of 2023.
OTHER LITIGATIONWe and our subsidiaries are subject to various other legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course ofbusiness, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome ofsuch actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings
will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, ifchallenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.

Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 83 of 286
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ofAmerica (US GAAP), which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in ourconsolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In making judgments and estimates, management relies on external information
and observable conditions, where possible, supplemented by internal analysis as required. We believe our most critical accounting policies
and estimates discussed below have an impact across the various segments of our business.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONSWe apply the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 Business Combinations in accounting for our acquisitions. Theacquired long-lived assets, intangible assets and assumed liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to
accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, as well as any contingent consideration, our estimates are
inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, werecord adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of themeasurement period or final determination of values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent
adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
Accounting for business combinations requires significant judgment, estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date. In developing
estimates of fair values at the acquisition date, we utilize a variety of factors including market data, historical and future expected cash flows,growth rates and discount rates. The subjective nature of our assumptions increases the risk associated with estimates surrounding theprojected performance of the acquired entity.
GOODWILL IMPAIRMENTGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets upon acquisition of a business. The
carrying value of goodwill, which is not amortized, is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances arise that suggest the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. We perform our annual review of the goodwill balance onApril 1.
We perform our annual review for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is identified by assessing whether the components of ouroperating segments constitute businesses for which discrete information is available, whether segment management regularly reviews theoperating results of those components and whether the economic and regulatory characteristics are similar. Our reporting units are Liquids
Pipelines, Gas Transmission, Gas Distribution and Storage and Renewable Power Generation. The Renewable Power Generation reporting
unit had goodwill starting in the third quarter of 2022.
We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairmentassessment. When performing a qualitative assessment, we determine the drivers of fair value for each reporting unit and evaluate whetherthose drivers have been positively or negatively affected by relevant events and circumstances since the last fair value assessment. Our
evaluation includes, but is not limited to, the assessment of macroeconomic trends, changes to regulatory environments, capital accessibility,
operating income trends and changes to industry conditions. Based on our assessment of qualitative factors, if we determine it is more likely
than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment is performed.
84
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 84 of 286
The quantitative goodwill impairment assessment involves determining the fair value of our reporting units and comparing those values to the
carrying value of each reporting unit. If the carrying value of a reporting unit, including allocated goodwill, exceeds its fair value, goodwill
impairment is measured at the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. This amount should not exceed thecarrying amount of goodwill. The fair value of our reporting units is estimated using a combination of discounted cash flow and earningsmultiples techniques. The determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow technique requires the use of estimates andassumptions related to discount rates, projected operating income, expected future capital expenditures and working capital levels, as well as
terminal value growth rates for the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Renewable Power Generation reporting units, and projected
regulatory rate base and rate base multiplier for the Gas Distribution and Storage reporting unit. The determination of fair value using theearnings multiples technique requires assumptions to be made in relation to maintainable earnings and earnings multiples for reporting units.The allocation of goodwill to held-for-sale and disposed businesses is based on the relative fair value of businesses included in the relevantreporting unit.
On April 1, 2022, we performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment which consisted of a qualitative assessment for the Liquids
Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Gas Distribution and Storage reporting units and did not identify impairment indicators. Due to changes in
the macroeconomic environment that has led to a rise in interest rates, we performed a quantitative assessment for the Liquids Pipelines,Gas Transmission, Gas Distribution and Storage, and Renewable Power Generation reporting units as at December 1, 2022, which resultedin the recognition of an impairment loss in Gas Transmission. Goodwill impairments were not identified in relation to the Liquids Pipelines,Gas Distribution, or Renewable Power Generation reporting units.
ASSET IMPAIRMENT
We evaluate the recoverability of our property, plant and equipment when events or circumstances such as economic obsolescence,
business climate, legal or regulatory changes, or other factors indicate we may not recover the carrying amount of our assets. We regularlymonitor our businesses, the market and business environments to identify indicators that could suggest an asset may not be recoverable. If itis determined that the carrying value of an asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected from the asset, we will assess the fair valueof the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
With respect to equity method investments, we assess at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that the investment is
impaired by completing a quantitative or qualitative analysis of factors impacting the investment. If there is objective evidence of impairment,we determine whether the decline below carrying value is other than temporary. If the decline is determined to be other than temporary, animpairment charge is recorded in earnings with an offsetting reduction to the carrying value of the investment.
Asset fair value is determined by quoted market prices in active markets or present value techniques. The determination of the fair valueusing present value techniques requires the use of projections and assumptions regarding future cash flows and weighted average cost of
capital. Any changes to these projections and assumptions could result in revisions to the evaluation of the recoverability of the asset and the
recognition of an impairment loss in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
ASSETS HELD FOR SALEWe classify assets as held for sale when management commits to a formal plan to actively market an asset or a group of assets and whenmanagement believes it is probable the sale of the assets will occur within one year. We measure assets classified as held for sale at thelower of their carrying value and their estimated fair value less costs to sell.

REGULATORY ACCOUNTING
Certain of our businesses are subject to regulation by various authorities, including but not limited to, the CER, the FERC, the Alberta Energy
Regulator, La Régie de l’energie du Québec and the OEB. Regulatory bodies exercise statutory authority over matters such as construction,rates and ratemaking and agreements with customers. To recognize the economic effects of the actions of the regulator, the timing ofrecognition of certain revenues and expenses in these operations may differ from that otherwise expected under US GAAP for non-rate-regulated entities. Key determinants in the ratemaking process are:
•costs of providing service, including operating costs, capital invested, depreciation expense and taxes;
•allowed rate of return, including the equity component of the capital structure and related income taxes;•interest costs on the debt component of the capital structure; and•contract and volume throughput assumptions.
The allowed rate of return is determined in accordance with the applicable regulatory model and may impact our profitability. The rates for anumber of our projects are based on a cost-of-service recovery model that follows the regulators’ authoritative guidance. Under the cost-of-
service tolling methodology, we calculate tolls based on forecast volumes and cost. A difference between forecast and actual results causes
an over or under recovery in any given year. Regulatory assets represent amounts that are expected to be recovered from customers infuture periods through rates. Regulatory liabilities represent amounts that are expected to be refunded to customers in future periods throughrates or expected to be paid to cover future abandonment costs in relation to the CER’s Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI) and forfuture removal and site restoration costs as approved by the OEB.
To the extent that the regulator’s actions differ from our expectations, the timing and amount of recovery or settlement of regulatory balances
could differ significantly from those recorded. In the absence of rate regulation, we would generally not recognize regulatory assets or
liabilities and the earnings impact would be recorded in the period the expenses are incurred or revenues are earned. A regulatory asset orliability is recognized in respect of deferred income taxes when it is expected the amounts will be recovered or settled through futureregulator-approved rates.
As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, our regulatory assets totaled $6.5 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively, and regulatory liabilities totaled
$3.8 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, our largest asset with a net book value at December 31, 2022 and 2021, of $104.5 billion and$100.1 billion, respectively, is charged in accordance with two primary methods. For distinct assets, depreciation is generally provided on astraight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets commencing when the asset is placed in service. For largely homogeneousgroups of assets with comparable useful lives, the pool method of accounting is followed whereby similar assets are grouped and
depreciated as a pool. When group assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, gains and losses are not reflected in earnings but are booked
as an adjustment to accumulated depreciation.
86
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 86 of 286
When it is determined that the estimated service life of an asset no longer reflects the expected remaining period of benefit, prospective
changes are made to the estimated service life. Estimates of useful lives are based on third party engineering studies, experience and/or
industry practice. There are a number of assumptions inherent in estimating the service lives of our assets including the level ofdevelopment, exploration, drilling, reserves and production of crude oil and natural gas in the supply areas served by our pipelines as well asthe demand for crude oil and natural gas and the integrity of our systems. Changes in these assumptions could result in adjustments to theestimated service lives, which could result in material changes to depreciation expense in future periods in any of our business segments.
For certain rate-regulated operations, depreciation rates are approved by the regulator and the regulator may require periodic studies or
technical updates on useful lives which may change depreciation rates.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITSWe use certain assumptions relating to the calculation of defined benefit pension and other postretirement liabilities and net periodic benefitcosts. These assumptions comprise management’s best estimates of expected return on plan assets, future salary levels, other costescalations, retirement ages of employees and other actuarial factors including discount rates and mortality. We determine discount rates by
reference to rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds with maturities that approximate the timing of future payments anticipated to be
made under each of the respective plans. The expected return on plan assets is determined using market-related values and assumptions onthe asset mix consistent with the investment policy relating to the assets and their projected returns. The assumptions are reviewed annuallyby our independent actuaries. Actual results that differ from results based on assumptions are amortized over future periods and, therefore,could materially affect the expense recognized and the recorded obligation in future periods.
The following sensitivity analysis identifies the impact on the December 31, 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements of a 0.5% change in key
pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB) obligation assumptions:

and investments are detailed in Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 31. Commitments and Contingencies. Inaddition, any unasserted claims that later may become evident could have a material impact on our financial results and certain subsidiariesand investments.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 87 of 286
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
Asset retirement obligations (ARO) associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are measured at fair value and recognized as
Accounts payable and other or Other long-term liabilities in the period in which they can be reasonably determined. The fair valueapproximates the cost a third party would charge to perform the tasks necessary to retire such assets and is recognized at the present valueof expected future cash flows. The discount rates used to estimate the present value of the expected future cash flows for the year endedDecember 31, 2022 ranged from 1.5% to 9.0% (2021 - 0.9% to 9.0%). ARO is added to the carrying value of the associated asset and
depreciated over the asset’s useful life. The corresponding liability is accreted over time through charges to earnings and is reduced by
actual costs of decommissioning and reclamation. Our estimates of retirement costs could change as a result of changes in cost estimatesand regulatory requirements. Currently, for the majority of our assets, there is insufficient data or information to reasonably determine thetiming of settlement for estimating the fair value of the ARO. In these cases, the ARO cost is considered indeterminate for accountingpurposes, as there is no data or information that can be derived from past practice, industry practice or the estimated economic life of the
asset.
In 2009, the CER issued a decision related to the LMCI, which required holders of an authorization to operate a pipeline under the CER Act
to file a proposed process and mechanism to set aside funds to pay for future abandonment costs in respect of the sites in Canada used forthe operation of a pipeline. The CER's decision stated that while pipeline companies are ultimately responsible for the full costs ofabandoning pipelines, abandonment costs are a legitimate cost of providing service and are recoverable from the users of the pipeline uponapproval by the CER. Following the CER's final approval of the collection mechanism and the set-aside mechanism for LMCI, we began
collecting and setting aside funds to cover future abandonment costs effective January 1, 2015. The funds collected are held in trust in
accordance with the CER decision. The funds collected from shippers are reported within Transportation and other services revenues andRestricted long-term investments. Concurrently, we reflect the future abandonment cost as an increase to Operating and administrativeexpense and Other long-term liabilities.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Refer to Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3. Changes in Accounting Policies.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our earnings, cash flows and other comprehensive income (OCI) are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates,commodity prices and our share price.
The following summarizes the types of market risks to which we are exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them.We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage the risks noted below.
Foreign Exchange RiskWe generate certain revenues, incur expenses and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies otherthan Canadian dollars. As a result, our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange ratevariability.
88
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 88 of 286
We employ financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency denominated earnings exposure. A combination of qualifying cash flow,
fair value and non-qualifying derivative instruments is used to hedge anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses and
to manage variability in cash flows. We hedge certain net investments in US dollar-denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreigncurrency derivatives and US dollar-denominated debt.
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to short-term interest rate variability due to the regular repricing of our variable rate debt, primarily
commercial paper. We monitor our debt portfolio mix of fixed and variable rate debt instruments to manage a consolidated portfolio of floatingrate debt within the Board of Directors approved policy limit of a maximum of 30% of floating rate debt as a percentage of total debtoutstanding. We primarily use qualifying derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. Pay fixed-receive floating interest rate swapsmay be used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have implemented a hedging program to partially mitigate the
impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps. These hedges have an
average fixed rate of 4.0%.
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt that arise as a result of changes in market interest rates. Pay floating-receivefixed interest rate swaps are used, when applicable, to hedge against future changes to the fair value of fixed rate debt which mitigates theimpact of fluctuations in fair value via execution of fixed to floating interest rate swaps. As at December 31, 2022, we do not have any payfloating-receive fixed interest rate swaps outstanding.
Our earnings and cash flows are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances.
Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a program
including some of our subsidiaries to partially mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on forecasted term debt issuancesvia execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.2%.
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets and
investments, as well as through the activities of our energy services subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, powerand NGL. We employ financial and physical derivative instruments to fix a portion of the variable price exposures that arise from physicaltransactions involving these commodities. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in our share price. We have exposure to our own common share pricethrough the issuance of various forms of stock-based compensation, which affect earnings through revaluation of the outstanding units everyperiod. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from one form of stock-based compensation, restricted shareunits. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage equity price risk.
Market Risk Management
We have a Risk Policy to minimize the likelihood that adverse cash flow impacts arising from movements in market prices will exceed adefined risk tolerance. We identify and measure all material market risks including commodity price risks, interest rate risks, foreign exchangerisk and equity price risk using a standardized measurement methodology. Our market risk metric consolidates the exposure after accountingfor the impact of offsetting risks and limits the consolidated cash flow volatility arising from market related risks to an acceptable approved
risk tolerance threshold. Our market risk metric is Cash Flow at Risk (CFaR).
89
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 89 of 286
CFaR is a statistically derived measurement used to measure the maximum cash flow loss that could potentially result from adverse market
price movements over a one month holding period for price sensitive non-derivative exposures and for derivative instruments we hold or
issue as recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as at December 31, 2022. CFaR assumes that no further mitigatingactions are taken to hedge or otherwise minimize exposures and the selection of a one month holding period reflects the mix of price risksensitive assets at Enbridge. As a practical matter, a large portion of Enbridge’s exposure could be hedged or unwound in a much shorterperiod if required to mitigate the risks.
The consolidated CFaR policy limit for Enbridge is 3.5% of its forward 12 month normalized cash flow. At December 31, 2022 and 2021
CFaR was $144 million and $103 million or 1.3% and 0.9%, respectively, of estimated 12 month forward normalized cash flow.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations, including commitments and guarantees, as they becomedue. In order to mitigate this risk, we forecast cash requirements over a 12 month rolling time period to determine whether sufficient funds willbe available and maintain substantial capacity under our committed bank lines of credit to address any contingencies. Our primary sources ofliquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and draws under committed credit
facilities and long-term debt, which includes debentures and medium-term notes. Our shelf prospectuses with securities regulators enable
ready access to either the Canadian or US public capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, we maintain sufficient liquiditythrough committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and institutions which, if necessary, enables us to fund all anticipatedrequirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets. We are in compliance with all the terms and conditions of ourcommitted credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at December 31, 2022. As a result, all credit facilities are available to us
and the banks are obligated to fund us under the terms of the facilities.
CREDIT RISKEntering into derivative instruments may result in exposure to credit risk from the possibility that a counterparty will default on its contractualobligations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into risk management transactions primarily with institutions that possess strong investment
grade credit ratings. Credit risk relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated through maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limits
and contractual requirements, netting arrangements, and ongoing monitoring of counterparty credit exposure using external credit ratingservices and other analytical tools. We generally have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements, or other similar
derivative agreements, with the majority of our financial derivative counterparties. These agreements provide for the net settlement of
derivative instruments outstanding with specific counterparties in the event of bankruptcy or other significant credit events and reduce ourcredit risk exposure on financial derivative asset positions outstanding with the counterparties in those circumstances.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTSOur financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. We also disclose the fair value
of other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market value
based on generally accepted valuation techniques or models and is supported by observable market prices and rates. When such values arenot available, we use discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs to estimate fair value.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Enbridge Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial ReportingWe have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Enbridge Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the
Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to
as the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizationsof the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion,the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based oncriteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for OpinionsThe Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a publicaccounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to beindependent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error orfraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of theconsolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining anunderstanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating thedesign and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
92
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 92 of 286
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accountingprinciples. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance ofrecords that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) providereasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorizedacquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of anyevaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material tothe consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication ofcritical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, bycommunicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to
which it relates.
Goodwill Impairment AssessmentAs described in Notes 2 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance was $32,440 million at December31, 2022. As disclosed by management, an annual goodwill impairment assessment is performed at the reporting unit level as of April 1 ofeach year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. Management has the
option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment. In
making the qualitative assessment, management considers macroeconomic trends, changes to regulatory environments, capital accessibility,operating income trends and changes to industry conditions. The quantitative goodwill impairment assessment involves determining the fairvalue of the Company’s reporting units and comparing those values to the carrying value of each reporting unit, including goodwill. Fair valueis estimated using a combination of discounted cash flow and earnings multiples techniques. The determination of fair value using the
discounted cash flow technique requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to discount rates, projected operating income,
expected future capital expenditures and working capital levels, as well as terminal value growth rates for the Liquids Pipelines, GasTransmission and Midstream (Gas Transmission) and Renewable Power Generation reporting units and projected regulatory rate base andrate base multiple for the Gas Distribution and Storage (Gas Distribution) reporting unit. The determination of fair value using the earningsmultiples technique requires assumptions to be made in relation to maintainable earnings and earnings multiples. Management elected to
perform a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of April 1, 2022 for the following reporting units: Liquids Pipelines, Gas
Transmission and Gas Distribution and did not identify impairment indicators. Due to changes in the macroeconomic environment that led toa rise in interest rates, management performed a quantitative assessment as of December 1, 2022 for the following reporting units: LiquidsPipelines, Gas Transmission, Gas Distribution and Renewable Power Generation. A goodwill impairment of $2,465 million was recorded inrelation to the Gas Transmission reporting unit. Goodwill impairments were not identified in relation to the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Distribution
or Renewable Power Generation reporting units.
93
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 93 of 286
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment is a critical
audit matter are the significant judgments required by management when developing such significant assumptions as discount rates,
projected operating income, expected future capital expenditures, terminal value growth rates, projected regulatory rate base, rate basemultiple and earnings multiples used to estimate the fair value of the reporting units, as applicable, as of December 1, 2022. This led to ahigh degree of auditor judgment, effort and subjectivity in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s significantassumptions used in the quantitative assessment. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and
knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the
consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s quantitativegoodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the determination of the fair value estimates of the Company’s reporting units.These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of the Company’sreporting units. Testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates included evaluating the appropriateness of the
discounted cash flow and the earnings multiples models; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the models; and
evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management in determining the fair value estimates including discountrates, projected operating income, expected future capital expenditures, projected regulatory rate base and rate base multiple, terminal valuegrowth rates and earnings multiples. Assessing the reasonableness of projected operating income, expected future capital expenditures andthe projected regulatory rate base involved evaluating whether these significant assumptions were reasonable considering the current and
past performance of the Company’s reporting units, external industry data and evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, as applicable.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of management’s discounted cashflow and earnings multiples models and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used in the models, specifically discountrates, terminal value growth rates, rate base multiple and earnings multiples.

1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The terms "we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge" as used in this report refer collectively to Enbridge Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the contextsuggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entitywithin 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-termobjectives, to aid in resource allocation decisions and to assess operational performance.
LIQUIDS PIPELINESLiquids 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. This
segment also includes Moda Midstream Operating, LLC (Moda), which was acquired on October 12, 2021 (Note 8) and is a component of GulfCoast and Mid-Continent.
GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAMGas Transmission and Midstream consists of our investments in natural gas pipelines and gathering and processing facilities in Canada andthe US, including US Gas Transmission, Canadian Gas Transmission, US Midstream, and Other.
GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE
Gas Distribution and Storage consists of our natural gas utility operations, the core of which is Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas), which
serves residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Ontario. This business segment also includes natural gas distributionactivities in Québec. We sold our investment in Noverco Inc. (Noverco), previously reported in the Gas Distribution and Storage segment, toTrencap L.P. on December 30, 2021 (Note 13).
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, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Québec, and in
the states of Colorado, Texas, Indiana and West Virginia. We also have offshore wind assets in operation and under development in theUnited Kingdom, Germany and France. This segment also includes Tri Global Energy, LLC (TGE) which was acquired on September 27,2022 (Note 8).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica (US GAAP). Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. As a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)registrant, we are permitted to use US GAAP for the purposes of meeting both our Canadian and US continuous disclosure requirements.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in theconsolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statementsinclude, but are not limited to: variable consideration included in revenue (Note 4); carrying values of regulatory assets and liabilities (Note 7);
purchase price allocations (Note 8); unbilled revenues; expected credit losses; depreciation rates and carrying value of property, plant and
equipment (Note 11); amortization rates and carrying value of intangible assets (Note 15); measurement of goodwill (Note 16); fair value of asset
retirement obligations (ARO) (Note 19); valuation of stock-based compensation (Note 22); fair value of financial instruments (Note 24); provisionsfor income taxes (Note 25); assumptions used to measure retirement benefits and OPEB (Note 26); commitments and contingencies (Note 31);and estimates of losses related to environmental remediation obligations (Note 31). Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Certain comparative figures in our consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries and VIEs for which we are the primary
beneficiary. A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financialsupport or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations throughvoting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Upon inception of a contractual agreement, we performan assessment to determine whether the arrangement contains a variable interest in a legal entity and whether that legal entity is a VIE. The
primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and
the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Where weconclude that we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the accounts of that VIE. We assess all variable interests in the entityand use our judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary. Other qualitative factors that are considered include decision-making responsibilities, the VIE capital structure, risk and rewards sharing, contractual agreements with the VIE, voting rights and level of
involvement of other parties. We assess the primary beneficiary determination for a VIE on an ongoing basis if there are changes in the facts
and circumstances related to a VIE. If an entity is determined to not be a VIE, the voting interest entity model is applied, where an investorholding the majority voting rights consolidates the entity. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of any limitedpartnerships where we represent the general partner and, based on all facts and circumstances, control such limited partnerships, unless thelimited partner has substantive participating rights or substantive kick-out rights. For certain investments where we retain an undivided
interest in assets and liabilities, we record our proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Ownership interests in subsidiaries represented by
other parties that do not control the entity are presented in the consolidated financial statements as activities and balances attributable tononcontrolling interests. Investments and entities over which we exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 102 of 286
REGULATION
Certain parts of our businesses are subject to regulation by various authorities including, but not limited to, the Canada Energy Regulator
(CER), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Alberta Energy Regulator, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and la Régie del’energie du Québec. Regulatory bodies exercise statutory authority over matters such as construction, rates and ratemaking andagreements with customers. To recognize the economic effects of the actions of the regulator, the timing of recognition of certain revenuesand expenses in these operations may differ from that otherwise expected under US GAAP for non-rate-regulated entities.
Regulatory assets represent amounts that are expected to be recovered from customers in future periods through rates. Regulatory liabilities
represent amounts that are expected to be refunded to customers in future periods through rates or to be paid to cover future abandonment
costs in relation to the CER’s Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI). Regulatory assets are assessed for impairment if we identify anevent indicative of possible impairment. The recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities is based on the actions, or expected futureactions, of the regulator. To the extent that the regulator’s actions differ from our expectations, the timing and amount of recovery orsettlement of regulatory balances could differ significantly from those recorded. In the absence of rate regulation, we would generally not
recognize regulatory assets or liabilities and the earnings impact would be recorded in the period the expenses are incurred or revenues are
earned. A regulatory asset or liability is recognized in respect of deferred income taxes when it is expected the amounts will be recovered orsettled through future regulator-approved rates. We believe that the recovery of our regulatory assets as at December 31, 2022 is probableover the periods described in Note 7 - Regulatory Matters.
Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) is included in the cost of property, plant and equipment and is depreciated over future
periods as part of the total cost of the related asset. AFUDC includes both an interest component and, if approved by the regulator, a cost of
equity component, which are both capitalized based on rates set out in a regulatory agreement. The corresponding impact on earnings is
included in Interest expense for the interest component and Other income/(expense) for the equity component. In the absence of rateregulation, we would capitalize interest using a capitalization rate based on our cost of borrowing, whereas the capitalized equity component,the corresponding earnings during the construction phase and the subsequent depreciation relating to the equity component would not be
recognized. The equity component of AFUDC is included as a non-cash reconciling item to earnings within Cash Flows from Operating
Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Under the pool method prescribed by certain regulators, it is not possible to identify the carrying value of the equity component of AFUDC orits effect on depreciation. Similarly, gains and losses on the retirement of certain specific fixed assets in any given year cannot be identifiedor quantified.
With the approval of regulators, certain operations capitalize a percentage of specified operating costs. These operations are authorized tocharge depreciation and earn a return on the net book value of such capitalized costs in future years. In the absence of rate regulation, a
portion of such operating costs would be charged to earnings in the year incurred.
For certain regulated operations to which US GAAP guidance for phase-in plans applies, negotiated depreciation rates recovered in
transportation tolls may be less than the depreciation expense calculated in accordance with US GAAP in early years of long-term contractsbut recovered in future periods when tolls exceed depreciation. Depreciation expense on such assets is recorded in accordance with USGAAP and no regulatory asset is recorded.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 103 of 286
REVENUE RECOGNITION
For businesses that are not rate-regulated, revenues are recorded when products have been delivered or services have been performed, the
amount of revenue can be reliably measured and collectability is reasonably assured. Customer creditworthiness is assessed prior toagreement signing, as well as throughout the contract duration. Certain revenues from our liquids and natural gas pipeline businesses arerecognized under the terms of committed delivery contracts, rather than the cash tolls received.
Long-term take-or-pay contracts, under which shippers are obligated to pay fixed amounts ratably over the contract period regardless ofvolumes shipped, may contain make-up rights. Make-up rights are earned by shippers when minimum volume commitments are not utilized
during the period but under certain circumstances can be used to offset overages in future periods, subject to expiry. We recognize revenues
associated with make-up rights at the earlier of when the make-up volume is shipped, the make-up right expires or when it is determined thatthe likelihood that the shipper will utilize the make-up right is remote. We also have long-term contracts where the revenue profile does notalign with the cash receipt schedule, resulting in the recognition of deferred revenue.
Certain offshore pipeline transportation contracts require us to provide transportation services for the life of the underlying producing fields.
Under these arrangements, shippers pay us a fixed monthly toll for a defined period of time which may be shorter than the estimated reserve
life of the underlying producing fields, resulting in a contract period which extends past the period of cash collection. Fixed monthly toll
revenues are recognized ratably over the committed volume made available to shippers throughout the contract period, regardless of whencash is received.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, cash received net of revenue recognized for contracts under make-up rights andsimilar deferred revenue arrangements was $238 million, $127 million and $292 million, respectively.
For rate-regulated businesses, revenues are recognized in a manner that is consistent with the underlying agreements as approved by the
regulators. Natural gas utility revenues are recorded based on regular meter readings and estimates of customer usage from the last meter
reading to the end of the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical consumption patterns and heating degree days experienced.Heating degree days is a measure of coldness that is indicative of volumetric requirements for natural gas utilized for heating purposes in ourdistribution franchise areas.
Our Energy Services segment enters into commodity purchase and sale arrangements that are recorded on a gross basis as the relatedcontracts are not held for trading purposes and we are acting as the principal in the transactions.
No non-affiliated customer exceeded 10.0% of our third-party revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our largest non-affiliated
customer accounted for approximately 13.5% and 13.6% of our third-party revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
Non-qualifying Derivatives
Non-qualifying derivative instruments are used primarily to economically hedge foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price earnings
exposure. Non-qualifying derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in Commodity sales,Transportation and other services revenue, Commodity costs, Operating and administrative expense, Other income/(expense) and Interestexpense.
104
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 104 of 286
Derivatives in Qualifying Hedging Relationships
We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and
certain compensation tied to our share price. Hedge accounting is optional and requires us to document the hedging relationship and test thehedging item’s effectiveness in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the underlying hedged item on an ongoing basis. We presentthe earnings effects of hedging items with the hedged transaction. Derivatives in qualifying hedging relationships are categorized as cashflow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges.
Cash Flow Hedges
We use cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and certain
compensation tied to our share price. The change in the fair value of a cash flow hedging instrument is recorded in Other comprehensiveincome/(loss) (OCI) and is reclassified to earnings when the hedged item impacts earnings.
If a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge ceases to be effective or is terminated, hedge accounting is discontinued and thegain or loss at that date is deferred in OCI and recognized in earnings concurrently with the related transaction. If an anticipated hedged
transaction is no longer probable, the gain or loss is recognized immediately in earnings. Subsequent gains and losses from derivative
instruments for which hedge accounting has been discontinued are recognized in earnings in the period in which they occur.
Fair Value HedgesWe may use fair value hedges to hedge the fair value of debt instruments. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recordedin earnings with changes in the fair value of the hedged risk of the asset or liability that is designated as part of the hedging relationship. If afair value hedge is discontinued or ceases to be effective, the hedged risk of the asset or liability ceases to be remeasured at fair value and
the cumulative fair value adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item is recognized in earnings over the remaining life of the hedged
item.
Net Investment HedgesGains and losses arising from the translation of our net investment in foreign operations from their functional currencies to Enbridge’sCanadian dollar presentation currency are included in cumulative translation adjustments (CTA), a component of OCI. We currently havedesignated a portion of our US dollar-denominated debt, as well as a portfolio of foreign exchange forward contracts in prior periods, as a
hedge of our net investment in US dollar-denominated investments and subsidiaries. As a result, the change in fair value of the foreign
currency derivatives, as well as the translation of US dollar-denominated debt, are reflected in OCI. Amounts recognized previously inAccumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI) are reclassified to earnings when there is a reduction of the hedged net investmentresulting from the disposal of a foreign operation.
Classification of DerivativesWe recognize the fair value of derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as current and non-current assets
or liabilities depending on the timing of settlements and the resulting cash flows associated with the instruments. Fair value amounts related
to cash flows occurring beyond one year are classified as non-current.
Cash inflows and outflows related to derivative instruments are classified as Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the ConsolidatedStatements of Cash Flows.
Balance Sheet OffsetAssets and liabilities arising from derivative instruments may be offset in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position when we have
the legal right and intention to settle them on a net basis.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 105 of 286
Transaction Costs
Transaction costs are incremental costs directly related to the acquisition of a financial asset or the issuance of a financial liability. We incur
transaction costs primarily from the issuance of debt and account for these costs as a reduction to Long-term debt in the ConsolidatedStatements of Financial Position. These costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related debtinstrument and are recorded in Interest expense.
EQUITY INVESTMENTSEquity investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not have controlling financial interests, are accounted for using the
equity method. These investments are initially measured at cost and are adjusted for our proportionate share of undistributed equity earnings
or loss. Our equity investments are increased for contributions made to, and decreased for distributions received from, the investee. To theextent an equity investee undertakes activities necessary to commence its planned principal operations, we capitalize interest costsassociated with the investment during such period.
RESTRICTED LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
Long-term investments that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage for the purposes of the CER’s LMCI are presented as Restricted long-
term investments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
OTHER INVESTMENTSGenerally, we classify equity investments in entities over which we do not exercise significant influence and that do not have readilydeterminable fair values as other investments measured using the fair value measurement alternative (FVMA). These investments arerecorded at cost less impairment, if any, and adjusted for the impact of observable price changes occurring in orderly transactions for an
identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Investments in equity securities measured using the FVMA are reviewed for impairment
each reporting period and written down to their fair value if objective evidence of impairment is identified. Equity investments with readilydeterminable fair values are measured at fair value through earnings. Dividends received from investments in equity securities arerecognized in earnings when the right to receive payment is established.
Investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value through OCI.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTSNoncontrolling interests represent ownership interests attributable to third parties in certain consolidated subsidiaries. The portion of equity
not owned by us in such entities is reflected as Noncontrolling interests within the equity section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Position.
INCOME TAXESIncome taxes are accounted for using the liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporarydifferences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for accounting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are measured using the tax rate that is expected to apply when the temporary differences reverse. For our regulated operations, a
deferred income tax liability or asset is recognized with a corresponding regulatory asset or liability, respectively, to the extent that taxes can
be recovered through rates. Any interest and/or penalty incurred related to tax is reflected in Income tax expense.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATIONForeign currency transactions are those transactions whose terms are denominated in a currency other than the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which Enbridge or a reporting subsidiary operates, referred to as the functional currency. Transactions
denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate in effectas at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities are included inearnings in the period in which they arise.
106
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 106 of 286
Gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign operations' functional currencies to our Canadian dollar presentation currency are
included in the CTA component of AOCI and are recognized in earnings upon sale of the foreign operation. Asset and liability accounts are
translated at the exchange rates in effect as at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated using monthly averageexchange rates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSCash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with a term to maturity of three months or less when purchased.
RESTRICTED CASH
Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage for the purposes of the CER’s LMCI or in accordance with specific
commercial arrangements are presented as Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
LOANS AND RECEIVABLESLong-term notes receivable from affiliates are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of any impairmentlosses recognized. Accounts receivable and other are measured at cost. Interest income is recognized in earnings as it is earned with thepassage of time.
CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
For accounts receivable, a loss allowance matrix is utilized to measure lifetime expected credit losses. The matrix contemplates historical
credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations. Other loan receivables andapplicable off-balance sheet commitments utilize a discounted cash flow methodology which calculates the current expected credit lossesbased on historical default probability rates associated with the credit rating of the counterparty and the related term of the loan orcommitment, adjusted for forward-looking information and management expectations.
NATURAL GAS IMBALANCES
The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position include balances as a result of differences in gas volumes received from, and delivered
for, customers. As settlement of certain imbalances is in-kind, changes in the balances do not have an effect on our Consolidated Statementsof Earnings or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Most natural gas volumes owed to or by us are valued at natural gas market indexprices as at the balance sheet dates.
INVENTORY
Inventory is comprised of natural gas held in storage by Enbridge Gas, crude oil and natural gas held primarily by businesses in the Energy
Services segment and materials and supplies. Natural gas held in storage by Enbridge Gas is recorded at the quarterly prices approved by
the OEB in the determination of distribution rates. The actual price of gas purchased may differ from the OEB approved price. The differencebetween the approved price and the actual cost of gas purchased is deferred as a liability for future refund, or as an asset for collection, asapproved by the OEB. Other inventory is recorded at the lower of cost, as determined on a weighted average basis, or market value. Upon
disposition, other commodities inventory is recorded to Commodity costs in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings at the weighted
average cost of inventory, including any adjustments recorded to reduce inventory to market value. Materials and supplies inventory is
recorded at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 107 of 286
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost. Expenditures for construction, expansion, major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for project development are capitalized if they areexpected to have future benefit. We capitalize interest incurred during construction for non-rate-regulated assets. For rate-regulated assets,AFUDC is included in the cost of property, plant and equipment and is depreciated over future periods as part of the total cost of the relatedasset.
Two primary methods of depreciation are utilized. For distinct assets, depreciation is generally provided on a straight-line basis over theestimated useful lives of the assets commencing when the asset is placed in service. For largely homogeneous groups of assets withcomparable useful lives, the pool method of accounting for property, plant and equipment is followed whereby similar assets are grouped anddepreciated as a pool. When group assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, gains and losses are generally not reflected in earnings but
are booked as an adjustment to accumulated depreciation.
LEASES
We recognize an arrangement as a lease when a customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use ofan asset, as well as the right to direct the use of the asset. We recognize right-of-use (ROU) assets and the related lease liabilities in theConsolidated Statements of Financial Position for operating lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or longer. We do not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components of our lessee contracts and account for both components as a single lease
component. We combine lease and non-lease components within a contract for operating lessor leases when certain conditions are met.
ROU assets are assessed for impairment using the same approach applied for other long-lived assets.
Lease liabilities and ROU assets require the use of judgment and estimates which are applied in determining the term of a lease, appropriatediscount rates, whether an arrangement contains a lease, whether there are any indicators of impairment for ROU assets and whether anyROU assets should be grouped with other long-lived assets for impairment testing.
DEFERRED AMOUNTS AND OTHER ASSETS
Deferred amounts and other assets primarily consists of costs that regulatory authorities have permitted, or are expected to permit, to be
recovered through future rates, including: deferred income taxes; the fair value adjustment to long-term debt; actual cost of removal ofpreviously retired or decommissioned plant assets; the difference between the actual cost and approved cost of natural gas reflected in rates;and actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit pension plans.
INTANGIBLE ASSETSIntangible assets consist primarily of certain software costs, customer relationships and emission allowances. We capitalize costs incurred
during the application development stage of internal use software projects. Customer relationships represent the underlying relationship from
long-term agreements with customers that are capitalized upon acquisition. Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basisover their expected lives, commencing when the asset is available for use, with the exception of emission allowances, which are notamortized as they will be used to satisfy compliance obligations as they come due.
GOODWILLGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets upon acquisition of a business. The
carrying value of goodwill, which is not amortized, is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances arise that suggest the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. We perform our annual review of the goodwill balance onApril 1.
108
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 108 of 286
We perform our annual review for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is identified by assessing whether the components of our
operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete information is available, whether segment management regularly reviews the
operating results of those components, and whether the economic and regulatory characteristics are similar. Our reporting units are LiquidsPipelines, Gas Transmission, Gas Distribution and Storage, and Renewable Power Generation. The Renewable Power Generation reportingunit had goodwill beginning in the third quarter of 2022.
We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairmentassessment. When performing a qualitative assessment, we determine the drivers of fair value for each reporting unit and evaluate whether
those drivers have been positively or negatively affected by relevant events and circumstances since the last fair value assessment. Our
evaluation includes, but is not limited to, the assessment of macroeconomic trends, changes to regulatory environments, capital accessibility,operating income trends and changes to industry conditions. Based on our assessment of qualitative factors, if we determine it is more likelythan not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment is performed.
The quantitative goodwill impairment assessment involves determining the fair value of our reporting units and comparing those values to the
carrying value of each reporting unit. If the carrying value of a reporting unit, including allocated goodwill, exceeds its fair value, goodwill
impairment is measured at the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. This amount should not exceed the
carrying amount of goodwill. The fair value of our reporting units is estimated using a combination of discounted cash flow and earningsmultiples techniques. The determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow technique requires the use of estimates andassumptions related to discount rates, projected operating income, expected future capital expenditures and working capital levels, as well as
terminal value growth rates for the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Renewable Power Generation reporting units, and projected
regulatory rate base and rate base multiple for the Gas Distribution and Storage reporting unit. The determination of fair value using the
earnings multiples technique requires assumptions to be made in relation to maintainable earnings and earnings multiples for reporting units.
The allocation of goodwill to held-for-sale and disposed businesses is based on the relative fair value of businesses included in the relevantreporting unit.
On April 1, 2022, we performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment which consisted of a qualitative assessment for the LiquidsPipelines, Gas Transmission and Gas Distribution and Storage reporting units and did not identify impairment indicators. Due to changes in
the macroeconomic environment that have led to a rise in interest rates, we performed a quantitative assessment for the Liquids Pipelines,
Gas Transmission, Gas Distribution and Storage, and Renewable Power Generation reporting units as at December 1, 2022, which resultedin the recognition of an impairment loss for Gas Transmission (Note 16). Goodwill impairments were not identified in relation to the LiquidsPipelines, Gas Distribution and Storage or Renewable Power Generation reporting units. Also, we did not identify any indicators of goodwillimpairment during the remainder of 2022.
IMPAIRMENT
We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets as events or changes in circumstances warrant. If it is determined that the carrying
value of an asset exceeds its expected undiscounted cash flows, we will calculate fair value based on the discounted cash flows and writethe asset down to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
109
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 109 of 286
With respect to investments in debt securities and equity investments, we assess at each balance sheet date whether there is objective
evidence that a financial asset is impaired by completing a quantitative or qualitative analysis of factors impacting the investment. If there is
objective evidence of impairment, we value the expected discounted cash flows using observable market inputs. We determine whether thedecline below carrying value is other-than-temporary for equity method investments or is due to a credit loss for investments in debtsecurities. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary for equity method investments or is due to a credit loss for investments indebt securities, an impairment charge is recorded in earnings with an offsetting reduction to the carrying value of the asset.
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
ARO associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are measured at fair value and recognized as Accounts payable and other or Other
long-term liabilities in the period in which they can be reasonably determined. Fair value approximates the cost a third party would charge toperform the tasks necessary to retire such assets and is recognized at the present value of expected future cash flows. ARO are added tothe carrying value of the associated asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. The corresponding liability is accreted over timethrough charges to earnings and is reduced by actual costs of decommissioning and reclamation. Our estimates of retirement costs could
change as a result of changes in cost estimates and regulatory requirements. Currently, for the majority of our assets, it is not possible to
make a reasonable estimate of ARO due to the indeterminate timing and scope of the asset retirements.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITSWe sponsor defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, as well as defined benefit OPEB plans.
Obligations and net periodic benefit costs for defined benefit pension and OPEB plans are estimated using the projected unit credit method,which is based on years of service, as well as our best estimates of actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, future salary levels, other
cost escalations, employees' retirement ages, and mortality.
We determine discount rates using market yields of high-quality corporate bonds with maturities that approximate the estimated timing of
future benefit payments.
Plan assets are measured at fair value. The expected return on plan assets is determined using the long-term target asset mixes in ourinvestment policies and long-term market expectations.
Actuarial gains and losses arise from the difference between the actual and expected return on plan assets, and changes in actuarialassumptions such as discount rates. Periodic net actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs are accumulated and presented as
follows in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position:
•as a component of AOCI, for our non-utilities' defined benefit pension plans and all defined benefit OPEB plans; and
•as a component of Deferred amounts and other assets and/or Other long-term liabilities, for our utilities' defined benefit pension plans, tothe extent that the net actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs have been permitted or are expected to be permitted by theregulators, to be recovered through future rates.
110
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 110 of 286
Net periodic benefit cost is recognized in earnings and includes:
•current service cost;
•interest cost;
•expected return on plan assets;•amortization of prior service costs over the expected average remaining service life of the plans' active employee group; and•amortization of net actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets,over the expected average remaining service life of the plans' active employee group.
Our utility operations also record regulatory adjustments for the difference between net periodic benefit costs for accounting versus
ratemaking purposes. Offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities are recorded to the extent net periodic benefit costs are expected to be
recovered from or refunded to customers, respectively, in future rates. In the absence of rate regulation, regulatory assets or liabilities wouldnot be recorded and net periodic benefit costs would be charged to earnings and OCI on an accrual basis.
For defined contribution plans, our contributions are expensed when the contribution occurs.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONIncentive Stock Options (ISO) granted are recorded using the fair value method. Under this method, compensation expense is measured at
the grant date based on the fair value of the ISO granted as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton model and is recognized on a straight-
line basis over the shorter of the vesting period or the period to early retirement eligibility, with a corresponding credit to Additional paid-incapital. Balances in Additional paid-in capital are transferred to Share capital when the options are exercised.
Performance Stock Units (PSU) and Restricted Stock Units (RSU) are cash settled awards for which the related liability is remeasured eachreporting period. PSUs vest at the completion of a three-year term and RSUs vest one-third annually from the grant date. During the vestingterm, compensation expense is recorded based on the number of units outstanding and the current market price of Enbridge’s common
shares with an offset to Accounts payable and other or Other long-term liabilities. The value of the PSUs is also dependent on our
performance relative to performance targets set out under the plan. We also award share settled RSUs which vest at the completion of athree-year term. During the vesting term, compensation expense is recorded based on the number of units granted and the market price ofEnbridge's common shares on the day immediately preceding the grant date, with an offset to Additional paid-in capital.

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
We expense or capitalize, as appropriate, expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations that relate to past or current
operations. We expense costs incurred for remediation of existing environmental contamination caused by past operations that do not benefitfuture periods by preventing or eliminating future contamination. We record liabilities for environmental matters when assessments indicatethat remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of environmental liabilities are based on currentlyavailable facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into consideration the likely effects of inflation and
other factors. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, other companies’ clean-up experience and
data released by government organizations. Our estimates are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new informationand are included in Accounts payable and other and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at theirundiscounted amounts. There is always a potential of incurring additional costs in connection with environmental liabilities due to variations inany or all of the categories described above, including modified or revised requirements from regulatory agencies, in addition to fines and
penalties, as well as expenditures associated with litigation and settlement of claims. We evaluate recoveries from insurance coverage
separately from the liability and, when recovery is probable, we record and report an asset separately from the associated liability in theConsolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Liabilities for other commitments and contingencies are recognized when, after fully analyzing available information, we determine it is eitherprobable that an asset has been impaired or that a liability has been incurred, and the amount of impairment or loss can be reasonablyestimated. When a range of probable loss can be estimated, we recognize the most likely amount, or if no amount is more likely than
another, the minimum of the range of probable loss is accrued. We expense legal costs associated with loss contingencies as such costs are
incurred.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There were no changes in accounting policies during the year ended December 31, 2022.
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSDisclosures About Government AssistanceEffective January 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-10 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issuedin November 2021 to increase the transparency of government assistance to business entities. The ASU adds new disclosure requirements
for transactions with governments that are accounted for using a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The required disclosures
include information about the nature of transactions, accounting policy applied, impacted financial statement line items and significant termsand conditions. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Certain Lessor Leases with Variable Lease PaymentsEffective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-05 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in July 2021 to amend lessoraccounting for certain leases with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and would have resulted in the
recognition of a loss at lease commencement if classified as a sales-type or a direct financing lease. The ASU amends the classification
requirements of such leases for lessors to result in an operating lease classification. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impacton our consolidated financial statements.
112
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 112 of 286
Accounting for Modifications or Exchanges of Certain Equity-Classified Contracts
Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-04 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in May 2021 to clarify issuer
accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modificationor exchange. The ASU requires an issuer to determine the accounting for the modification or exchange based on the economic substance ofthe modification or exchange. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own EquityEffective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard was issued in August 2020 to
simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. The ASU eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion
and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equityclassification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestandinginstruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. The ASU amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including therequirement to use if-converted method for all convertible instruments and an update for instruments that can be settled in either cash or
shares. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We disaggregate revenue into categories which represent our principal performance obligations within each business segment. These
revenue categories represent the most significant revenue streams in each segment and consequently are considered to be the most
relevant revenue information for management to consider in evaluating performance.

Balance as at December 31, 2022 3,183 230 2,241
Balance as at December 31, 2021 2,369 213 1,898
Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers.
Contract assets represent the amount of revenue which has been recognized in advance of payments received for performance obligations
we have fulfilled (or have partially fulfilled) and prior to the point in time at which our right to the payment is unconditional. Amounts included
in contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when our right to the consideration becomes unconditional.
Contract liabilities represent payments received for performance obligations which have not been fulfilled. Contract liabilities primarily relateto make-up rights and deferred revenue. Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022 included in contract liabilities at thebeginning of the year is $166 million. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenue during the
year ended December 31, 2022, were $453 million.
Performance Obligations
Segment Nature of Performance Obligation
Liquids Pipelines •Transportation and storage of crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL)
Gas Transmission and Midstream •Transportation, storage, gathering, compression and treating of natural gas
•Transportation of NGL
•Sale of crude oil, natural gas and NGL
Gas Distribution and Storage •Supply and delivery of natural gas
•Transportation of natural gas
•Storage of natural gas
Renewable Power Generation •Generation and transmission of electricity
•Delivery of electricity from renewable energy generation facilities
There was no material revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022 from performance obligations satisfied in previousperiods.
Payment Terms
Payments are received monthly from customers under long-term transportation, commodity sales, and gas gathering and processing
contracts. Payments from Gas Distribution and Storage customers are received on a continuous basis based on established billing cycles.
Certain contracts in our US offshore business provide for us to receive a series of fixed monthly payments (FMPs) for a specified period thatis less than the period during which the performance obligations are satisfied. As a result, a portion of the FMPs are recorded as contractliabilities. The FMPs are not considered to be a financing arrangement as payments are scheduled to match the production profiles ofoffshore oil and gas fields, which generate greater revenue in the initial years of their productive lives.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 115 of 286
Revenue to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
Total revenue from performance obligations expected to be fulfilled in future periods is $58.6 billion, of which $7.6 billion is expected to be
recognized during the year ending December 31, 2023.
The revenues excluded from the amounts above based on optional exemptions available under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overall revenues and revenues from contracts with customers. Certainrevenues such as flow-through operating costs charged to shippers are recognized at the amount for which we have the right to invoice ourcustomers and are excluded from the amounts of revenue to be recognized in the future from unfulfilled performance obligations above.
Variable consideration is excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is generally
resolved when actual volumes and prices are determined. For example, we consider interruptible transportation service revenues to bevariable revenues since volumes cannot be estimated. Additionally, the effect of escalation on certain tolls which are contractually escalatedfor inflation has not been reflected in the amounts above as it is not possible to reliably estimate future inflation rates. Revenues for periodsextending beyond the current rate settlement term for regulated contracts where the tolls are periodically reset by the regulator are excluded
from the amounts above since future tolls remain unknown. Finally, revenues from contracts with customers which have an original expected
duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above.
SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS MADE IN RECOGNIZING REVENUELong-Term Transportation AgreementsFor long-term transportation agreements, significant judgments pertain to the period over which revenue is recognized and whether the
agreement provides for make-up rights for the shippers. Transportation revenue earned from firm contracted capacity arrangements is
recognized ratably over the contract period. Transportation revenue from interruptible or volumetric-based arrangements is recognized when
services are performed.
Variable ConsiderationRevenue from arrangements subject to variable consideration is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal inthe amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently
resolved. Uncertainties associated with variable consideration relate principally to differences between estimated and actual volumes and
prices. These uncertainties are resolved each month when actual volumes are sold or transported and actual tolls and prices are determined.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, revenue for the Canadian Mainline has been recognized in accordance with the terms of theCompetitive Toll Settlement (CTS), which expired on June 30, 2021. The tolls in place on June 30, 2021 continue on an interim basis until anew commercial arrangement is implemented and are subject to finalization and adjustment applicable to the interim period, if any. Due tothe uncertainty of adjustment to tolling pursuant to a CER decision and potential customer negotiations, interim toll revenue recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2022 is considered variable consideration.

services and electricity sales.
Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time
For arrangements involving the transportation and sale of petroleum products and natural gas where the transportation services orcommodities are simultaneously received and consumed by the shipper or customer, we recognize revenue over time using an outputmethod based on volumes of commodities delivered or transported. The measurement of the volumes transported or delivered corresponds
directly to the benefits received by the shippers or customers during that period.
Determination of Transaction Prices
Prices for transportation and gas processing services are determined based on the capital cost of the facilities, pipelines and associatedinfrastructure required to provide such services, plus a rate of return on capital invested that is determined either through negotiations withcustomers or through regulatory processes for those operations that are subject to rate regulation.
Prices for commodities sold are determined by reference to market price indices, plus or minus a negotiated differential and in certain casesa marketing fee.
Prices for natural gas sold and distribution services provided by regulated natural gas distribution operations are prescribed by regulation.

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
BASICEarnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number ofcommon shares outstanding. On December 30, 2021, we closed the sale of our minority ownership in Noverco. The weighted average
number of common shares outstanding was reduced by our pro-rata weighted average interest in our own common shares of approximately
2 million and 5 million as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting from our reciprocal investment in Noverco.
DILUTEDThe treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options and RSUs. This method assumes any proceeds from theexercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
December 31,2022 2021 2020
(number of shares in millions)
Weighted average shares outstanding 2,025 2,023 2,020
Effect of dilutive options and RSUs 4 2 1
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 2,029 2,025 2,021
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 10.4 million, 18.6 million and 29.8 million, respectively, of anti-dilutive stock optionswith a weighted average exercise price of $56.49, $52.89 and $51.42, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per commonshare calculation.
7. REGULATORY MATTERS
We record assets and liabilities that result from regulated ratemaking processes that would not be recorded under US GAAP for non-regulated entities. See Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion. Our significant regulated businesses and the relatedaccounting impacts are described below.
Under the current authorized rate structure for certain operations, income tax costs are recovered in rates based on the current income tax
payable and do not include accruals for deferred income tax. However, as income taxes become payable as a result of the reversal of
temporary differences that created the deferred income taxes, it is expected that rates will be adjusted to recover these taxes. Since most ofthese temporary differences are related to property, plant and equipment costs, this recovery is expected to occur over the life of the relatedassets. In the absence of rate-regulated accounting, this regulatory Deferred income taxes balance and the related earnings impact wouldnot be recorded.

LIQUIDS PIPELINES
Canadian Mainline
Canadian Mainline includes the Canadian portion of our mainline system and is subject to regulation by the CER. Tolls, excluding Lines 8 and9, are governed by the 10-year CTS which expired on June 30, 2021. The tolls in place on June 30, 2021 continue on an interim basis untilnew tolls are finalized and approved by the CER (Note 4). The CTS established a Canadian Local Toll for all volumes shipped on the CanadianMainline and an International Joint Tariff for all volumes shipped from western Canadian receipt points to delivery points on our Lakehead
System. Under the CTS, we have recognized a regulatory asset of $2.1 billion as at December 31, 2022 (2021 - $2.1 billion) to offset
deferred income taxes, as a CER rate order governing flow-through income tax treatment permits future recovery. No other materialregulatory assets or liabilities are recognized under the terms of the CTS.
Southern Lights PipelineThe US and Canadian portions of the Southern Lights Pipeline are regulated by the FERC and CER, respectively. Shippers on the SouthernLights Pipeline are subject to long-term transportation contracts under a cost-of-service toll methodology. Toll adjustments are filed annually
with the regulators and provide for the recovery of allowable operating and debt financing costs, plus a pre-determined after-tax return on
equity (ROE) of 10%.
GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAMBritish Columbia Pipeline and Maritimes & Northeast CanadaBritish Columbia (BC) Pipeline and Maritimes & Northeast (M&N) Canada are regulated by the CER. Rates are approved by the CER
through negotiated toll settlement agreements based on cost-of-service. Both our BC Pipeline and M&N Canada systems currently operate
under the terms of their respective 2022-2026 and 2022-2023 settlement agreements, which stipulate an allowable ROE and the continuation
and establishment of certain deferral and variance accounts.
US Gas TransmissionMost of our US gas transmission and storage services are regulated by the FERC and may also be subject to the jurisdiction of various otherfederal, state and local agencies. The FERC regulates natural gas transmission in US interstate commerce including the establishment of
rates for services, while rates for intrastate commerce and/or gathering services are regulated by the state agencies. Cost-of-service is the
basis for the calculation of regulated tariff rates, although the FERC also allows the use of negotiated and discounted rates within contractswith shippers that may result in a rate that is above or below the FERC-regulated recourse rate for that service.
GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGEEnbridge GasEnbridge Gas' distribution rates, commencing in 2019, are set under a five-year Incentive Regulation (IR) framework using a price cap
mechanism. The price cap mechanism establishes new rates each year through an annual base rate escalation at inflation less a 0.3%
stretch factor, annual updates for certain costs to be passed through to customers, and where applicable, the recovery of material discreteincremental capital investments beyond those that can be funded through base rates. The IR framework includes the continuation andestablishment of certain deferral and variance accounts, as well as an earnings sharing mechanism that requires Enbridge Gas to shareequally with customers any earnings in excess of 150 basis points over the annual OEB approved ROE.

1 Current regulatory assets are included in Accounts receivable and other, while long-term regulatory assets are included in Deferred amounts and other assets.
2 Represents the regulatory offset to deferred income tax liabilities to the extent that it is expected to be included in future regulator-approved rates and recovered from
customers. The recovery period depends on the timing of the reversal of temporary differences. In the absence of rate-regulated accounting, this regulatory balance and the
related earnings impact would not be recorded.3 Represents our regulatory offset to the fair value adjustment to debt acquired in our merger with Spectra Energy Corp. (Spectra Energy). The offset is viewed as a proxy for
the regulatory asset that would be recorded in the event such debt was extinguished at an amount higher than the carrying value.4 The negative salvage balance represents the recovery in future rates of the actual cost of removal of previously retired or decommissioned plant assets, as approved by the
FERC.
5 This deferral primarily consists of unamortized accumulated actuarial gains/losses and past service costs incurred by Union Gas Limited, relating to the period up to our
merger with Spectra Energy, which were previously recorded in AOCI. The amortization of this balance is recognized as a component of accrual-based pension expenses,which are included in Other income/(expense) and recovered in rates, as previously approved by the OEB.6 Represents the regulatory offset to our pension liability to the extent that it is expected to be included in regulator-approved future rates and recovered from customers. Thesettlement period for this balance is not determinable. In the absence of rate-regulated accounting, this regulatory balance and the related pension expense would be
recorded in earnings and OCI.
7 Current regulatory liabilities are included in Accounts payable and other, while long-term regulatory liabilities are included in Other long-term liabilities.

8 Future removal and site restoration reserves consists of amounts collected from customers, with the approval of the OEB, to fund future costs of removal and site restoration
relating to property, plant and equipment. These costs are collected as part of the depreciation expense charged on property, plant and equipment that is reflected in rates.The settlement of this balance will occur over the long-term as costs are incurred. In the absence of rate-regulated accounting, depreciation rates would not include a chargefor removal and site restoration and costs would be charged to earnings as incurred with recognition of revenue for amounts previously collected.9 The regulatory liability related to US income taxes resulted from the US tax reform legislation dated December 22, 2017. These balances will be refunded to customers in
accordance with the respective rate settlements approved by the FERC.
8. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
ACQUISITIONSTri Global Energy, LLCOn September 27, 2022, through a wholly-owned US subsidiary, we acquired all of the outstanding common units in TGE for cash
consideration of $295 million (US$215 million) plus potential contingent payments of up to $72 million (US$53 million) dependent on the
achievement of performance milestones by TGE (the TGE Acquisition). The TGE Acquisition is subject to customary closing and workingcapital adjustments. TGE is an onshore renewable project developer in the US with a development portfolio of wind and solar projects. TheTGE Acquisition enhances Enbridge's renewable power platform and accelerates our North American growth strategy.
We accounted for the TGE Acquisition using the acquisition method as prescribed by ASC 805 Business Combinations. In accordance withvaluation methodologies described in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are recorded at their
estimated fair values as at the date of acquisition.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values that were assigned to the net assets of TGE:

a) Intangible assets consist of compensation expected to be earned by TGE on existing development contracts once certain projectdevelopment milestones are met. Fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow method which is an income-based approach tovaluation that estimates the present value of future projected benefits from the contracts. The intangible assets will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over an expected useful life of three and a half years.
b) Long-term liabilities consist primarily of obligations payable to third parties which are contingent on the timing of milestones being met for
certain projects. Fair value represents the present value of the future cash flow payments at the date of the TGE Acquisition.
123
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 123 of 286
c) Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected future returns from new opportunities to develop wind and solar projects, as well as enhanced
scale and operational diversity of our renewable projects portfolio. The goodwill balance recognized has been assigned to our Renewable
Power Generation segment and is tax deductible over 15 years.
d) We agreed to pay additional contingent consideration of up to US$53 million to TGE's formercommon unit holders if performance milestones are met on certain projects. The US$36 million of contingent consideration recognized inthe purchase price represents the fair value of contingentconsideration at the date of acquisition. The fair value was determined using an income-based approach.
Upon completion of the TGE Acquisition, we began consolidating TGE. For the period beginning September 27, 2022 through to December
31, 2022, operating revenues and earnings attributable to common shareholders generated by TGE were immaterial. The impact to our
supplemental pro forma consolidated operating revenues and earnings attributable to common shareholders for the years endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, as if the TGE Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2021, was also immaterial.
Moda Midstream Operating, LLCOn October 12, 2021, through a wholly-owned US subsidiary, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Moda for
$3.7 billion (US$3.0 billion) of cash plus potential contingent payments of up to US$150 million dependent on performance of the assets (the
Moda Acquisition). The Moda Acquisition was also subject to customary closing and working capital adjustments. Moda owns and operates alight crude export platform with very large crude carrier capability. The Moda Acquisition aligns with and advances our US Gulf Coast exportstrategy and enables connectivity to low-cost and long-lived reserves in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins.
We accounted for the Moda Acquisition using the acquisition method as prescribed by ASC 805 Business Combinations. In accordance withvaluation methodologies described in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their
estimated fair values as at the date of acquisition.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values that were assigned to the net assets of Moda:
October 12, 2021
(millions of Canadian dollars)

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 124 of 286
a) Due to the specialized nature of Moda's property, plant and equipment, which includes groups of assets configured for use as storage
facilities, pipelines and export terminals, the depreciated replacement cost approach was adopted as the primary valuation methodology.
In determining replacement cost, both indirect costing using relevant inflation indices and direct costing using relevant market quotes wereutilized. Adjustments were then applied for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence. The fair value of landwas determined using a market approach, which is based on rents and offerings for comparable properties.
b) Long-term investments represent Moda's 20% equity interest in Cactus II Pipeline LLC (Cactus II). The fair value of Cactus II wasdetermined using the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method is an income-based approach to valuation which
estimates the present value of future projected benefits from the investment.
c) Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships associated with long-term take-or-pay contracts. Fair value was determined
using an income-based approach by estimating the present value of the after-tax earnings attributable to the contracts, including earningsassociated with expected renewal terms, and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over an expected useful life of 10 years.
d) Goodwill is primarily attributable to uncontracted future revenues, existing assembled assets that cannot be duplicated at the same cost bya new entrant, and enhanced scale and geographic diversity which provide greater optionality and platforms for future growth. The
goodwill balance recognized has been assigned to our Liquids Pipelines segment and is tax deductible over 15 years.
e) We agreed to pay additional contingent consideration of up to US$150 million to Moda's former membership interest holders if Moda's
monthly volumes of crude oil loaded onto a vessel equal or exceed specified throughput levels. These performance requirementsterminate the earlier of December 31, 2023 or the date the final contingent payment is made. The US$150 million of contingentconsideration recognized in the purchase price represents the fair value of contingent consideration at the date of acquisition and wasfully settled as at December 31, 2022.
Acquisition-related expenses incurred were approximately $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are included in Operating
and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Upon completion of the Moda Acquisition, we began consolidating Moda. For the period beginning October 12, 2021 through to December
31, 2021, Moda generated approximately $80 million in operating revenues and $9 million in earnings attributable to common shareholders.
Our supplemental pro forma consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, including the results ofoperations for Moda as if the Moda Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2020, are as follows:
Year ended December 31,2021 2020
(unaudited; millions of Canadian dollars)
Operating revenues 47,339 39,435
Earnings attributable to common shareholders 5,771 2,938
1 Acquisition-related expenses of $21 million (after-tax $16 million) were excluded from earnings attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2021and deducted for the year ended December 31, 2020.
2 Includes the amortization of fair value adjustments recorded for acquired property, plant and equipment, long-term investments and intangible assets of $193 million and
$207 million (after-tax of $145 million and $155 million) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

DISPOSITIONS
Athabasca Regional Oil Sands System
On October 5, 2022, we closed the sale of an 11.6% non-operating interest in seven pipelines in the Athabasca region of northern Albertafrom our Regional Oil Sands System to Athabasca Indigenous Investments Limited Partnership (Aii), an entity representing 23 First Nationand Métis communities, for total consideration of approximately $1.1 billion, less customary closing adjustments. No gain or loss wasrecognized on the sale and a noncontrolling interest was recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as at December 31,
2022 to reflect the interest held by Aii (Note 20).
Subsequent to the sale, we maintained an 88.4% controlling interest in these assets, which are a component of our Liquids Pipelines
segment, and continue to manage, operate and provide administrative services to them.
Line 10 Crude Oil PipelineIn the first quarter of 2018, we satisfied the condition as set out in our agreements for the sale of our Line 10 crude oil pipeline (Line 10),which originates near Hamilton, Ontario and terminates at West Seneca, New York. Our subsidiaries, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. and Enbridge
Energy Partners, L.P. owned the Canadian and US portions of Line 10, respectively, and the related assets were included in our Liquids
Pipelines segment. The transaction closed on June 1, 2020. No gain or loss on disposition was recorded.
Montana-Alberta Tie LineOn May 1, 2020, we closed the sale of the Montana-Alberta Tie Line (MATL) transmission asset, a 345 kilometer transmission line from GreatFalls, Montana to Lethbridge, Alberta, for cash proceeds of approximately $189 million. After closing adjustments, a gain on disposal of$4 million was included in Other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. MATL was included in our Renewable Power
Generation segment.
Ozark Gas Transmission
On April 1, 2020, we closed the sale of our Ozark Gas Transmission and Ozark Gas Gathering assets (Ozark assets) for cash proceeds ofapproximately $63 million. After closing adjustments, a gain on disposal of $1 million was included in Other income/(expense) in theConsolidated Statements of Earnings. The Ozark assets are composed of a transmission system that extends from southeastern Oklahomathrough Arkansas to southeastern Missouri, and a fee-based gathering system that accesses Fayetteville Shale and Arkoma production.
These assets were included in our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment.

IMPAIRMENTMagic Valley Wind Farm
Magic Valley Wind Farm (Magic Valley) has commercial challenges caused by electricity transmission congestion and a negative price
differential arising from higher transmission costs resulting in a lower electricity sale price. As a result, we have recognized an impairment
loss of $227 million to our investment in Magic Valley, which is included in Impairment of long-lived assets in the Consolidated Statements ofEarnings and is part of our Renewable Power Generation segment.
Bakken Pipeline SystemThe Bakken Pipeline System currently has long-term take-or-pay contracts that are set to expire in 2023. In connection with the upcoming
expiration of the contracts, we have recognized an impairment loss of $183 million on the US and Canadian components of the interstate
pipeline transportation system within the North Dakota System of our Bakken System, which is included in Impairment of long-lived assets inthe Consolidated Statements of Earnings and is part of our Liquids Pipelines segment.
Impairment charges were based on the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeded fair value, determined using expecteddiscounted future cash flows.

12. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIESOur consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where we are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary when our variableinterest(s) provide us with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and
(ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We
determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to:decision-making responsibilities, the VIE capital structure, risk and rewards sharing, contractual agreements with the VIE, voting rights andlevel of involvement of other parties.
The following table includes assets to be used to settle liabilities of our consolidated VIEs. The creditors of the liabilities of our consolidated
VIEs do not have recourse to our general credit as the primary beneficiary. These assets and liabilities are included in the Consolidated

UNCONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIESWe currently hold interests in several non-consolidated VIEs where we are not the primary beneficiary as we do not have the power to directthe activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance. These interests include investments in limited
partnerships that are assessed to be VIEs due to the limited partners not having substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. The power
to direct the activities of a majority of these non-consolidated limited partnership VIEs is shared amongst the partners. Each partner hasrepresentatives that make up an executive committee that makes significant decisions for the VIE, and none of the partners may makesignificant decisions unilaterally.

DCP Midstream, LLCOn August 17, 2022, we completed a joint venture merger transaction with Phillips 66 (P66) resulting in a single joint venture, DCPMidstream, LLC, holding both our and P66's indirect ownership interests in Gray Oak and DCP. Our ownership in DCP Midstream, LLC
consists of Class A and Class B Interests which track to our investments in DCP, included in the Gas Transmission and Midstream segment,
and Gray Oak, included in the Liquids Pipelines segment, respectively. Through our investment in DCP Midstream, LLC, we increased oureffective economic interest in Gray Oak to 58.5% from 22.8% and reduced our effective economic interest in DCP to 13.2% from 28.3%. As aresult of the transaction, Enbridge will assume operatorship of Gray Oak in the second quarter of 2023.
We determined the fair value of our decrease in economic interest in DCP based on the unadjusted quoted market price of DCP’s publiclytraded common units on the transaction closing date. The fair value of our increased economic interest in Gray Oak was determined using
the fair value prescribed to the change in our economic interest in DCP. As a result of the merger transaction and the realignment of our
economic interests in DCP and Gray Oak, we also received cash consideration of approximately $522 million (US$404 million) and recordedan accounting gain of $1.1 billion (US$832 million) to Gain on joint venture merger transaction in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.Both DCP and Gray Oak continue to be accounted for as equity method investments.

In July and August 2022, we renewed $12.7 billion of our credit facilities, extending the maturity dates of our 364-day credit facilities to July2024, inclusive of a one year term out provision from July 2023, and our five year facilities out to July 2027. As a part of the renewals, weincreased our credit facilities by approximately $640 million.
On December 16, 2022, Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. entered into a five year delay draw term loan in support of solar self-power projects for
approximately $479 million, which will mature in December 2027.
In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which
$689 million was unutilized as at December 31, 2022. As at December 31, 2021, we had $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of creditfacilities, of which $854 million was unutilized.
Our credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of 0.1% per annum on the unused portion and draws bear interest at market rates.Certain credit facilities serve as a back-stop to the commercial paper programs and we have the option to extend such facilities, which arecurrently scheduled to mature from 2023 to 2027.
As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit
facilities that mature within one year, of $10.5 billion and $11.3 billion, respectively, were supported by the availability of long-term committed
credit facilities and, therefore, have been classified as long-term debt.

With the exception of Preference Shares, Series A,such fixed dividend rate resets every five years beginning on the initial redemption and conversion option date. The Preference Shares, Series 19 contain a feature where the
fixed dividend rate, when reset every five years, will not be less than 4.90%. No other series of Preference Shares has this feature.
2 Preference Shares, Series A may be redeemed any time at our option. For all other series of preference shares, we may at our option, redeem all or a portion of the
outstanding preference shares for the Base Redemption Value per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Redemption Option Date and on every fifth anniversarythereafter.3 The holder will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to convert their shares into Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of a specified series on a one-for-onebasis on the Conversion Option Date and every fifth anniversary thereafter at an ascribed issue price equal to the Base Redemption Value.

1 Options granted to US employees are based on the New York Stock Exchange prices. The option value and assumptions shown are based on a weighted average of the US
and the Canadian options. The fair values per option for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $4.78, $3.91 and $3.75, respectively, for Canadianemployees and US$4.62, US$3.65 and US$3.62, respectively, for US employees.
2 The expected option term is six years based on historical exercise practice and five years for retirement eligible employees.3 Expected volatility is determined with reference to historic daily share price volatility and consideration of the implied volatility observable in call option values near the grantdate.
4 The expected dividend yield is the current annual dividend at the grant date divided by the current stock price.5 The risk-free interest rate is based on the Government of Canada’s Canadian bond yields and the US Treasury bond yields.
Compensation expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 for ISOs was $15 million, $16 million and $24
million, respectively. As at December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation
arrangements granted under the ISO Plan was $12 million. The expense is expected to be fully recognized over a weighted average period
of approximately two years.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
Under PSU awards for certain key employees, cash awards are paid following a three-year performance cycle. Awards are calculated by
multiplying the number of units outstanding at the end of the performance period by Enbridge's weighted average share price for 20 daysprior to the maturity of the grant and by a performance multiplier. The performance multiplier ranges from zero, if our performance fails tomeet threshold performance levels, to a maximum of 2.0 if we perform within the highest range of the performance targets. The performancemultiplier is derived through a calculation of our Total Shareholder Return percentile rank, in each case relative to a specified peer group of
companies and our distributable cash flow per share, adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, relative to targets
established at the time of grant. To calculate the 2022 expense, a multiplier of 1.25 was used for 2022 PSU grants, 1.25 for 2021 PSU grantsand 2.00 for the 2020 PSU grants.

24. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
MARKET RISKOur earnings, cash flows and OCI are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and our share price
(collectively, market risks). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks.
The following summarizes the types of market risks to which we are exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them.
We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage the risks noted below. Foreign Exchange RiskWe generate certain revenues, incur expenses and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other
than Canadian dollars. As a result, our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate
variability. We employ financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency denominated earnings exposure. A combination of qualifying cash flow,fair value and non-qualifying derivative instruments is used to hedge anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses and
to manage variability in cash flows. We hedge certain net investments in US dollar-denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreign
currency derivatives and US dollar-denominated debt.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 146 of 286
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to short-term interest rate variability due to the regular repricing of our variable rate debt, primarily
commercial paper. We monitor our debt portfolio mix of fixed and variable rate debt instruments to manage a consolidated portfolio of floatingrate debt within the Board of Directors approved policy limit of a maximum of 30% of floating rate debt as a percentage of total debtoutstanding. We primarily use qualifying derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. Pay fixed-receive floating interest rate swapsmay be used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have implemented a hedging program to partially mitigate the
impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps. These hedges have an
average fixed rate of 4.0%.
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt that arise as a result of changes in market interest rates. Pay floating-receivefixed interest rate swaps are used, when applicable, to hedge against future changes to the fair value of fixed rate debt which mitigates theimpact of fluctuations in fair value via execution of fixed to floating interest rate swaps. As at December 31, 2022, we do not have any payfloating-receive fixed interest rate swaps outstanding.
Our earnings and cash flows are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances.Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a programincluding some of our subsidiaries to partially mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on forecasted term debt issuancesvia execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.2%.
Commodity Price RiskOur earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets andinvestments, as well as through the activities of our energy services subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, powerand NGL. We employ financial and physical derivative instruments to fix a portion of the variable price exposures that arise from physical
transactions involving these commodities. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk.
Equity Price RiskEquity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in our share price. We have exposure to our own common share pricethrough the issuance of various forms of stock-based compensation, which affect earnings through revaluation of the outstanding units every
period. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from one form of stock-based compensation, restricted share
units. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage equity price risk.
TOTAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTSWe generally have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements, or other similarderivative agreements, with the majority of our financial derivative counterparties. These agreements provide for the net settlement of
derivative instruments outstanding with specific counterparties in the event of bankruptcy or other significant credit events and reduce our
credit risk exposure on financial derivative asset positions outstanding with the counterparties in those circumstances.

We estimate that a gain of $67 million from AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. Actual
amounts reclassified to earnings depend on the foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices in effect when derivative
contracts that are currently outstanding mature. For all forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures tothe variability of cash flows is 36 months as at December 31, 2022.

LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations, including commitments and guarantees, as they become
due. In order to mitigate this risk, we forecast cash requirements over a 12-month rolling time period to determine whether sufficient funds willbe available and maintain substantial capacity under our committed bank lines of credit to address any contingencies. Our primary sources ofliquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and draws under committed creditfacilities and long-term debt, which includes debentures and medium-term notes. Our shelf prospectuses with securities regulators enable
ready access to either the Canadian or US public capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, we maintain sufficient liquidity
through committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and institutions which, if necessary, enables us to fund all anticipatedrequirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets. We are in compliance with all the terms and conditions of ourcommitted credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at December 31, 2022. As a result, all credit facilities are available to usand the banks are obligated to fund us under the terms of the facilities.
CREDIT RISK
Entering into derivative instruments may result in exposure to credit risk from the possibility that a counterparty will default on its contractual
obligations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into risk management transactions primarily with institutions that possess strong investmentgrade credit ratings. Credit risk relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated through maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limitsand contractual requirements, netting arrangements, and ongoing monitoring of counterparty credit exposure using external credit ratingservices and other analytical tools.
We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the following counterparty segments:
December 31,2022 2021
(millions of Canadian dollars)
Canadian financial institutions 644 424
US financial institutions 277 130
European financial institutions 334 181
Asian financial institutions 224 30
Other 105 122
1,584 887
1 Other is comprised of commodity clearing house and physical natural gas and crude oil counterparties.
As at December 31, 2022, we did not provide any letters of credit in lieu of providing cash collateral to our counterparties pursuant to theterms of the relevant International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements. We held no cash collateral on derivative asset exposuresas at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Gross derivative balances have been presented without the effects of collateral posted. Derivative assets are adjusted for non-performancerisk of our counterparties using their credit default swap spread rates, and are reflected at fair value. For derivative liabilities, our non-performance risk is considered in the valuation.

151
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 152 of 286
Credit risk also arises from trade and other long-term receivables, and is mitigated through credit exposure limits and contractual
requirements, assessment of credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within Enbridge Gas, credit risk is mitigated by the utility's large and
diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for expected credit losses through the ratemaking process. We activelymonitor the financial strength of large industrial customers and, in select cases, have obtained additional security to minimize the risk ofdefault on receivables. Generally, we utilize a loss allowance matrix which contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables,adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations to measure lifetime expected credit losses of receivables. The
maximum exposure to credit risk related to non-derivative financial assets is their carrying value.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. We also disclose the fair valueof other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market valuebased on generally accepted valuation techniques or models and is supported by observable market prices and rates. When such values arenot available, we use discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs to estimate fair value.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSWe categorize our financial instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputsemployed in the measurement.
Level 1Level 1 includes financial instruments measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active
markets that are accessible at the measurement date. An active market for a financial instrument is considered to be a market where
transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Our Level 1 instruments consistprimarily of exchange-traded derivatives used to mitigate the risk of crude oil price fluctuations, US and Canadian treasury bills, investmentsin exchange-traded equity funds held by our captive insurance subsidiaries, as well as restricted long-term investments in Canadian equitysecurities that are held in trust in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the LMCI.
Level 2Level 2 includes financial instrument valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices includedwithin Level 1. Financial instruments in this category are valued using models or other industry standard valuation techniques derived fromobservable market data. Such valuation techniques include inputs such as quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors and broker
quotes that can be observed or corroborated in the market for the entire duration of the financial instrument. Derivatives valued using Level 2
inputs include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward and cross currency swap contracts,interest rate swaps, physical forward commodity contracts, as well as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can beobtained.
We have also categorized the fair value of our long-term debt, investments in debt securities held by our captive insurance subsidiaries, and
restricted long-term investments in Canadian government bonds held in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the LMCI
as Level 2. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar yield, credit risk and tenor. When
possible, the fair value of our restricted long-term investments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and, if not available,based on broker quotes.
152
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 153 of 286
Level 3
Level 3 includes derivative valuations based on inputs which are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support
a significant portion of the derivatives’ fair value. Generally, Level 3 derivatives are longer dated transactions, occur in less active markets,occur at locations where pricing information is not available or have no binding broker quote to support Level 2 classification. We havedeveloped methodologies, benchmarked against industry standards, to determine fair value for these derivatives based on extrapolation ofobservable future prices and rates. Derivatives valued using Level 3 inputs primarily include long-dated derivative power, NGL and natural
gas contracts, basis swaps, commodity swaps, and power and energy swaps, as well as physical forward commodity contracts. We do not
have any other financial instruments categorized in Level 3.
We use the most observable inputs available to estimate the fair value of our derivatives. When possible, we estimate the fair value of ourderivatives based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, we use estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange traded derivatives classified in Levels 2 and 3, we use standard valuation techniques to calculate the estimated fair value. Thesemethods include discounted cash flows for forwards and swaps and Black-Scholes-Merton pricing models for options. Depending on the type
of derivative and nature of the underlying risk, we use observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange, commodity and share price) and
volatility as primary inputs to these valuation techniques. Finally, we consider our own credit default swap spread as well as the credit defaultswap spreads associated with our counterparties in our estimation of fair value.
We have categorized our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value as follows:

If adjusted, the significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table above would have a direct impact on the fair value of our Level 3
derivative instruments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 derivative instruments include
forward commodity prices. Changes in forward commodity prices could result in significantly different fair values for our Level 3 derivatives.
Changes in net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES
We currently have designated a portion of our US dollar-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment in US dollar-denominated
investments and subsidiaries.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $954 million and gain of $49million, respectively, on the translation of US dollar-denominated debt, in OCI.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 158 of 286
As at December 31, 2022, we recognized the benefit of unused tax loss carryforwards of $2.1 billion (2021 - $1.9 billion) in Canada which
expire in 2030 and beyond.
As at December 31, 2022, we recognized the benefit of unused tax loss carryforwards of $8.1 billion (2021 - $11.0 billion) in the US. Unused
tax loss carryforwards of $0.2 billion (2021 - $3.5 billion) begin to expire in 2023, and unused tax loss carryforwards of $7.9 billion (2021 -$7.5 billion) have no expiration.
We have not provided for deferred income taxes on the difference between the carrying value of substantially all of our foreign subsidiariesand their corresponding tax basis as the earnings of those subsidiaries are intended to be permanently reinvested in their operations. Assuch, these investments are not anticipated to give rise to income taxes in the foreseeable future. The difference between the carrying values
of the investments and their tax bases is largely a result of unremitted earnings and currency translation adjustments. The unremitted
earnings and currency translation adjustment for which no deferred taxes have been recognized in respect of foreign subsidiaries were $8.0billion and $4.3 billion for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. If such earnings are remitted, in the form ofdividends or otherwise, we may be subject to income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. The determination of the amount of unrecognizeddeferred income tax liabilities applicable to such amounts is not practicable.
Enbridge and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to taxation in Canada, the US and other foreign jurisdictions. The material jurisdictions in
which we are subject to potential examinations include the US (Federal) and Canada (Federal, Alberta and Québec). We are open to
examination by Canadian tax authorities for the 2015 to 2022 tax years and by US tax authorities for the 2019 to 2022 tax years. We arecurrently under examination for income tax matters in Canada for the 2016 to 2019 tax years. We are not currently under examination forincome tax matters in any other material jurisdiction where we are subject to income tax.

The unrecognized tax benefits as at December 31, 2022, if recognized, would impact our effective income tax rate. We do not anticipate
further adjustments to the unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months that would have a material impact on our consolidatedfinancial statements.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income taxes. Interest and penaltiesincluded in income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were a $1 million expense and $5 million recovery, respectively.
As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, interest and penalties of $13 million and $12 million, respectively, have been accrued.

26. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
PENSION PLANS
We sponsor Canadian and US contributory and non-contributory registered defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, which
provide benefits covering substantially all employees. The Canadian pension plans provide defined benefit and defined contribution pensionbenefits to our Canadian employees. The US pension plans provide defined benefit pension benefits to our US employees. We also sponsorsupplemental non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, which provide non-registered benefits for certain employees in Canada and theUS.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan Benefits
Benefits payable from the defined benefit pension plans are based on each plan participant’s years of service and final average
remuneration. Some benefits are partially inflation-indexed after a plan participant’s retirement. Our contributions are made in accordancewith independent actuarial valuations. Participant contributions to contributory defined benefit pension plans are based upon each planparticipant’s current eligible remuneration.
Defined Contribution Pension Plan Benefits
Our contributions are based on each plan participant’s current eligible remuneration. Our contributions for some defined contribution pension
plans are also based on age and years of service. Our defined contribution pension benefit costs are equal to the amount of contributions
required to be made by us.

ENVIRONMENTAL
We are subject to various Canadian and US federal, provincial/state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment. These laws
and regulations can change from time to time, imposing new obligations on us.
Environmental risk is inherent to liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas pipeline operations, and Enbridge and its affiliates are, at times, subjectto environmental remediation obligations at various sites where we operate. We manage this environmental risk through appropriateenvironmental policies, programs and practices to minimize any impact our operations may have on the environment. To the extent that weare unable to recover payment for environmental liabilities from insurance or other potentially responsible parties, we will be responsible for
payment of costs arising from environmental incidents associated with our operating activities.
AUX SABLE
On October 14, 2016, an amended claim was filed against Aux Sable by a counterparty to an NGL supply agreement. On January 5, 2017,Aux Sable filed a Statement of Defence with respect to this claim.
On November 27, 2019, the counterparty filed an amended amended claim providing further particulars of its claim against Aux Sable,increasing its damages claimed, and adding defendants Aux Sable Liquid Products Inc. and Aux Sable Extraction LLC (general partners ofthe previously existing defendants). Aux Sable filed an amended Statement of Defence responding to the amended amended claim on
January 31, 2020.
While the final outcome of this action cannot be predicted with certainty, at this time management believes that the ultimate resolution of this
action will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 172 of 286
OTHER LITIGATION
We and our subsidiaries are subject to various other legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of
business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome ofsuch actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedingswill not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
TAX MATTERSWe and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if
challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.
INSURANCE
We maintain a comprehensive insurance program for us, our operating subsidiaries and certain equity investments. This program includesinsurance coverage in types and amounts and is subject to certain deductibles, terms, exclusions and conditions that are generally consistentwith coverage considered customary for our industry, however insurance does not cover all events in all circumstances. We self-insure asignificant portion of expected losses relating to certain insurance property and casualty risk exposures in the US and Canada through our
wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries.
In the unlikely event multiple insurable incidents occur which exceed coverage limits within the same insurance period, the total insurance
coverage will be allocated among entities on an equitable basis based on an insurance allocation agreement we have entered into with usand other subsidiaries. Insurance estimates include certain assumptions and management judgments regarding the frequency and severityof claims, claim development and settlement practices and the selection of estimated loss among estimates derived using different methods.
32. GUARANTEES
In the normal course of conducting business, we may enter into agreements which indemnify third parties and affiliates. We may also be a
party to agreements with subsidiaries, jointly owned entities, unconsolidated entities such as equity method investees, or entities with other
ownership arrangements that require us to provide financial and performance guarantees. Financial guarantees include stand-by letters ofcredit, debt guarantees, surety bonds and indemnifications. To varying degrees, these guarantees involve elements of performance andcredit risk, which are not included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Performance guarantees require us to makepayments to a third party if the guaranteed entity does not perform on its contractual obligations, such as debt agreements, purchase or sale
agreements, and construction contracts and leases.
We typically enter into these arrangements to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties. Examples include indemnifying
counterparties pursuant to sale agreements for assets or businesses in matters such as breaches of representations, warranties orcovenants, loss or damages to property, environmental liabilities, and litigation and contingent liabilities. We may indemnify third parties forcertain liabilities relating to environmental matters arising from operations prior to the purchase or transfer of certain assets and interests.Similarly, we may indemnify the purchaser of assets for certain tax liabilities incurred while we owned the assets, a misrepresentation related
to taxes that result in a loss to the purchaser or other certain tax liabilities related to those assets.
172
Joint Application Docket No. 23-057-16
Joint Exhibit 11.0 Page 173 of 286
The likelihood of having to perform under these guarantees and indemnifications is largely dependent upon future operations of various
subsidiaries, investees and other third parties, or the occurrence of certain future events. We cannot reasonably estimate the total maximum
potential amounts that could become payable to third parties and affiliates under such agreements described above; however, historically, wehave not made any significant payments under guarantee or indemnification provisions. While these agreements may specify a maximumpotential exposure, or a specified duration to the guarantee or indemnification obligation, there are circumstances where the amount andduration are unlimited. As at December 31, 2022, guarantees and indemnifications have not had, and are not reasonably likely to have, a
material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, earnings, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
