Enbridge’s Footprint

•  Employ 10,000 in Canada & U.S.

•  Largest liquid pipeline operation

•  Natural gas transmission and Canada’s largest gas distributor

•  Electricity transmission

•  ~ $ 3 Billion in Green and Alternative energy

•  Includes fuel cells, geothermal power, run of river hydro, heat to power, etc.

•  More than 1300 MW of wind and solar assets operating or under construction

•  Recent Investments include Hydrogenics and Temporal Power for electricity storage & Morgan Solar for CPV

Investing in Ontario Companies

Morgan Solar – Toronto, Ont. •  Concentrating Solar Photovoltaic (CPV) –  Sun tracking technology –  Good potential for grid parity power costs

Hydrogenics, Mississauga, Ont. •  Electricity Storage with Hydrogen –  Power-to-Gas uses hydrogen electrolyzers for

bulk storage of surplus renewable power –  Store renewable Hydrogen in natural gas grid

Temporal Power, Mississauga, Ont. •  Flywheel Energy Storage –  Flywheels enable correction of short-duration

power imbalances –  Mechanical battery storing kinetic energy

Innovating for Smarter Energy Grids Energy Exchanges Between Silos

•  Energy exchanges bring new economic, environmental , and operating flexibility to power grids

•  Power to Gas converts renewable energy to hydrogen with electrolyzers

•  Renewable gas back to power

Natural  Gas    35%  

Transport    Fuels  36%  

Electricity    19%  

Other  10%

Power to Gas; Seasonal Electricity Storage

•  Off-Peak electricity to hydrogen with water electrolysis

•  Blending of hydrogen in pipeline grids

•  Store renewable gas in cavern or pipeline

•  Blended gas to electricity at peak time / peak season •  Alternative end-use as green heat or upgrading

Flexibility of Power to Gas 1) converts surplus, non-emitting electricity to hydrogen with electrolyser, 2) bank energy in pipeline infrastructure, 3) transmit energy by pipeline, and 4)

economic discharge of renewables at the time and place it is needed
