NEWS RELEASE

Enbridge reports first half earnings of $360.8 million

CALGARY, Alberta, July 29, 2004 – Enbridge Inc. today announced earnings applicable to common shareholders of $360.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, or $2.16 per share compared with $549.2 million, or $3.33 per share, in 2003. A $169.1 million gain on the sale of assets to Enbridge Income Fund recorded June 30, 2003 and a $45.4 million charge to earnings in 2004 related to provincial tax rate changes are the primary factors for the variance from the prior year. Positive factors increasing earnings in 2004 include a higher contribution from the Enbridge crude oil pipeline system and the gas distribution utility.

Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2004 are $248.4 million, or $1.49 per share compared with $445.4 million, or $2.70 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The prior year earnings of $445.4 million include the $169.1 million gain on sale of assets and other factors including weather that was warmer than the prior year.

Patrick D. Daniel, President & Chief Executive Officer stated, “Enbridge posted another quarter of solid earnings and cash flows, with adjusted operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increasing by $13.2 million or 4% from the prior year. This further strengthens our financial position and leaves us on track to meet our expectations for the year. Continental supply-demand fundamentals are very strong, providing Enbridge opportunities to grow through the decade. We continue to work to develop a variety of new feeder and export oil and gas pipeline projects, seeking to add value for our customers and shareholders. We also continue to prudently assess acquisition opportunities, however we remain patient and disciplined long term investors.”

On July 29, 2004, the Enbridge Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.4575 per common share and $0.34375 per Series A Preferred Share. Both dividends are payable on September 1, 2004 to shareholders of record on August 16, 2004.

Significant operating factors affecting earnings in the first half of 2004 include the following:

  Enbridge crude oil pipeline system earnings are higher in the first half of 2004 as they include incremental earnings from the Terrace Phase III expansion placed into service on April 1, 2003.

  Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) results include $25.6 million related to unbilled revenue, as well as the effects of the 2004 rate increase. The decrease in earnings within the second quarter includes the $9.4 million partial reversal of unbilled revenue, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2004, and the timing of the implementation of fiscal 2003 rates. In March 2003, EGD settled the primary elements of the 2003 rate application and accrued the approved rate increase relating to the first two quarters, whereas, in 2004 rates were in place at the beginning of the year.

  The Aux Sable liquids extraction plant continues to show an improvement over the prior year.

  Earnings are also lower in 2004 due to the absence of earnings from Alliance Pipeline (Canada) and Enbridge Saskatchewan, partially offset with earnings from Enbridge Income Fund (EIF), formed with the acquisition of these assets on June 30, 2003.
 
  Corporate costs were higher in 2004 due to increased business development activity, stock-based compensation expense, and a higher effective tax rate.

Non-GAAP Measures

This news release contains a reference to adjusted operating earnings which represents earnings applicable to common shareholders adjusted for non-operating factors, as detailed in the above table, as well as unbilled revenue. This is not a measure that has a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP and is not considered a GAAP measure. Therefore, this measure may not be comparable to a similar measure presented by other issuers. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted operating earnings provides more useful information to investors and shareholders as it provides increased predictive value and allows them to more accurately identify the trend in earnings.

  Enbridge System earnings are higher as they include incremental earnings from the Terrace Phase III expansion placed into service on April 1, 2003.

  The Athabasca System includes the earnings contribution from the Hardisty storage caverns completed in the fourth quarter of 2003. This is more than offset by higher tax expense as the prior year included the utilization of loss carryforwards.

  The Saskatchewan System is included in the results of EIF, a component of the Sponsored Investments segment, effective June 30, 2003.

  The earnings variance in Feeder Pipelines and Other is the result of higher costs than provided for in 2003, associated with the final settlement of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission reparations on the Frontier Pipeline recorded in the first quarter of 2004, as well as higher Liquids Pipelines’ business development costs.

  Alliance Pipeline (US) earnings reflect the additional ownership interests of 1.1% in March 2003. 10.7% in April 2003 and 1.1% in October 2003, partially offset by the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar in 2004.

  Alliance Pipeline (Canada) is included in the results of EIF, a component of the Sponsored Investments segment, effective June 30, 2003.

  Vector Pipeline earnings reflect a higher proportion of firm transportation volumes as a result of increased demand for service on the pipeline due to new interconnect facilities and customer storage developments, as well as lower interest costs. This is further enhanced by an additional ownership interest of 15% acquired in the fourth quarter of 2003.

  EEP reflects higher operating earnings, primarily in the second quarter of 2004, partially offset by both the stronger Canadian dollar and the lower ownership interest in 2004. The higher operating earnings include incremental contributions from the acquisition of the North Texas assets, for US$250.0 million, which closed on December 31, 2003, and the Mid-Continent assets, US$117.0 million, which closed on March 1, 2004. In addition, increased volumes on the main crude oil liquids pipeline system, as well as increased throughput on various natural gas assets have had a positive impact.

  EIF commenced operations on June 30, 2003 with the acquisition of a 50% interest in Alliance Pipeline (Canada) and the Saskatchewan System. Enbridge previously owned these assets directly and their results, prior to the disposition, were separately included in the Gas Pipelines and Liquids Pipelines segments, respectively. The Company recognized a $169.1 million gain on the sale of assets to EIF.

  In each year, EEP issued additional common units and as Enbridge did not participate in these offerings, dilution gains resulted. The lower dilution gain in 2004 related to the exercise of an over-allotment option rather than a larger primary offering.

  Various factors, including the weather, affected EGD’s distribution volumes and earnings in 2004. While the weather was colder than normal in 2004 and increased earnings by $20.0 million ($12.7 million in the second quarter), it was not as cold as the prior year when weather increased earnings by $41.7 million ($27.4 million in the second quarter).

  The Ontario tax rate increase and the related revalue of future income taxes result in a first quarter 2004 charge to earnings of $47.6 million for EGD, whereas the second quarter of 2003 included a charge to earnings of $3.8 million also related to tax rate changes. EGD’s earnings include a $4.6 million outsourcing disallowance in 2004, whereas the prior year included a $7.1 million gas costs disallowance related to a long-term transportation contract, both in the first quarter.

  Commencing in 2004, EGD refined its process for estimating unbilled revenue resulting in a $25.6 million increase in earnings. Had EGD experienced normal weather during the unbilled period, additional earnings of $1.4 million would have resulted. The impact is a timing difference of reported earnings among quarters. The second quarter of 2004 reflects the reversal of $9.4 million related to the unbilled revenue recorded in the first quarter. If EGD had employed the new estimation procedures in 2003, first half earnings would have increased by $23.1 million and had weather been normal, earnings would have included an additional $0.6 million.
 
  Enbridge Gas Distribution was also positively impacted by the 2004 rate increase, as well as the addition of new customers partially offset with an increase in operating costs. The decrease in earnings within the second quarter reflects the impact in 2003 of final rates not being approved and accrued until the second quarter, whereas, 2004 rates were in place at the beginning of 2004.
 
  The Noverco earnings include a $1.1 million dilution gain in the first quarter of 2004, resulting from a Gaz Metro Limited Partnership unit issuance that Noverco did not participate in. The Alberta tax rate reduction in the first quarter of 2004 also increased earnings by $1.6 million, whereas the prior year reflected a tax rate increase and a $2.3 million charge to earnings in the second quarter.
 
  Aux Sable’s operating results improved in the first half of 2004 as a result of positive fractionation margins and the benefits of a comprehensive risk management strategy. Enbridge’s ownership interest in Aux Sable was also higher in 2004 as an additional 11.8% was acquired in April 2003 resulting in the current ownership of 42.7%. As the acquisition of the additional interest was at a discount to the book value, depreciation expense is lower on the additional interest.
 
  The primary component of Other is the Company’s investment in AltaGas Income Trust (AltaGas), a publicly traded income trust. During the second quarter of 2004, AltaGas issued additional trust units. Enbridge did not participate in this offering, causing a dilution of its ownership to approximately 36% and the recognition of an $8.0 million after-tax dilution gain. The re-value of the future income tax liability related to this investment, primarily as a result of the first quarter Alberta tax rate reduction, also increased earnings.
