Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Enbridge Inc. is a leading North American energy infrastructure company operating a highly diversified, low-risk portfolio of energy delivery assets.

Sanctioning and construction of onshore wind and solar projects, including the US$0.7 billion Cone onshore wind project (300 MW) and the US$0.4 billion Easter onshore wind project (152 MW) in Texas, to support Meta Platforms' data center operations under long-term power purchase agreements.
Expected impact: Expands Enbridge's renewable energy footprint and capitalizes on growing power demand from AI data centers.
