On April 30, 1949, Interprovincial Pipe Line Company was officially incorporated—receiving its charter from the Canadian federal government, and launching a success story that spans generations.
Since 1949, Enbridge has played an essential role in developing the energy infrastructure you rely on.
4, 1950, Alberta Premier Ernest Manning and Canadian federal minister C.D. Howe opened the valve on IPL’s inaugural line to start moving oil eastward; the first oil arrived in Superior two months later, on Dec.
In 1950 Enbridge (formerly Lakehead Pipeline) finished construction on Line 1, from Edmonton, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin.
1950: Company completes its first pipeline and delivers oil to Superior, Wisconsin.
Expansion of the IPL system continued in 1953 with the extension of the pipeline from Superior to Sarnia, Ont.
The year 1953 also marked the entry of a second oil pipeline venture, the Trans Mountain Oil Pipe Line Company, to ship Alberta crude to distant markets west.
1953: Company's stock is listed on the Toronto and Montreal stock exchanges.
The line entered service in 1954, a development that provided a direct connection between the Alberta oil fields and Canada’s petro-chemical heartland in Ontario.
By 1955, the first year in which IPL did not undertake major construction, the system's capacity had grown to 217,000 barrels per day on the Edmonton-Regina section, 193,000 between Regina and Gretna, 163,000 between Gretna and Superior, and 147,000 between Superior and Sarnia.
1956: IPL owns and operates the longest crude oil pipeline in the world.
Oil consumption had been growing at a rate of 7 percent annually since the end of World War II. By 1967, IPL was moving crude to refineries in Ontario, Buffalo, Detroit, Toledo, and other points in the United States and required yet more delivery capacity for markets east of Superior.
1969: IPL completes its Chicago Loop, beginning deliveries to Chicago a year later.
Following the opening of the Chicago market, deliveries increased in 1970 by 16 percent, bringing total throughput to about 900,000 barrels per day.
When OPEC raised prices in 1971 and began to ship refined products for the first time, about 85 percent of the oil and gas production and 99 percent of the oil refining in Canada was in the hands of foreign corporations, according to T.C. Douglas, head of the New Democratic Party.
In early 1972, OPEC again raised its prices upward for Arab crude, and that year, IPL's average deliveries exceeded one million barrels a day.
IPL began to prepare its application to the NEB for the new pipeline in late 1973.
In addition, forces of environmentalism, nationalism, and socialism converged to inform the government's intervention in the affairs of the oil industry following the Arab oil embargo of 1973.
After consultation with 2,200 landowners and 95 municipalities, governments and agencies, and an investment of C$247 million, the first oil was delivered to Montreal on June 2, 1976.
The new pipeline first delivered oil in June 1976 and reached its planned delivery level of 250,000 barrels per day in December.
1976: Company's Montreal pipeline begins delivery of oil.
Subsequent uncertainties about environmental regulations slowed project growth and led to the 1977 shelving of some projects.
On the American side, in 1977, the newly created Federal Energy Regulatory Commission took over regulation of Lakehead operations.
Meanwhile, in 1978, after two years of public hearings on tariffs, IPL was placed under direct rate regulation by the NEB. Tariffs were designed to reduce revenues by approximately 5 percent for the Canadian system, excluding the Montreal extension.
By 1981, IPL was looking seriously for diversification options.
In 1983, IPL undertook construction of the Norman Wells pipeline, the first crude oil line to be built in the far north since World War II, followed by a massive expansion of its mainline system.
After several aborted attempts, it joined with Amoco, Anschutz, and Union Pacific and invested in Frontier Pipeline Company, laying pipeline from northeastern Utah to Casper, Wyoming, in 1983.
IPL completed its Norman Wells pipeline in April 1985, linking the oilfields of Norman Wells, in the Northwest Territories, to the Rainbow Pipeline system at Zama, AB.
The company initiated a three-phase expansion plan to build capacity and handle the increase in heavy oil shipments, and enjoyed record earnings for the fifth consecutive year in 1985.
IPL acquired Toronto-based Home Oil in July 1986, and relocated corporate offices to Alberta—the pipeline business in Edmonton, the oil business in Calgary.
Notwithstanding this slump, the company went on to complete the second phase of capacity expansion in 1987.
As late as 1993, IPL represented a single line of business, a crude oil pipeline system.
In 1994, the company again changed its name to IPL Energy Inc.
In 1995, in its first international venture, it embarked on developing OCENSA, a new Colombian pipeline, along with TransCanada PipeLines.
In 1995, it completed phase one of its System Expansion Program (SEP I) plan, embarked on SEP II, and acquired several strategic feeder pipelines.
In December 1996, in a very significant move, IPL Energy acquired Consumers’ Gas, Canada’s largest natural gas distribution system that served, at that time, more than one million customers in Ontario, Quebec and New York.
In 1997, IPL launched a new subsidiary, Consumersfirst, opening the first of five retail stores that sold natural gas and electric products and services to customers.
7, 1998, IPL Energy officially became Enbridge, the name that combines “energy” with “bridge” and endures to this day.
IPL, which now had two business units, Energy Transportation and Energy Distribution, changed its name again in 1998 to Enbridge Inc.
Enbridge built the Athabasca Pipeline in 1999, connecting Alberta’s oil sands to its mainline system at Hardisty, AB. Today, Enbridge is the leading pipeline operator in the Fort McMurray to Edmonton and Hardisty corridors, with 12 oil sands projects connected to the Enbridge system.
Also in 1999, Enbridge was awarded the exclusive franchise to develop and operate a natural gas distribution network for the province of New Brunswick.
IPL also acquired an interest in AltaGas Services, a Calgary-based natural gas company in 1999.
Enbridge completed the acquisition of Houston’s Midcoast Energy Resources in 2001—giving the company an expanded presence in the natural gas transmission business, and significantly widening its geographical presence in North America.
30, 2001, Enbridge’s shares were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol ENB.
Enbridge invested in the SunBridge wind power project in Saskatchewan in 2002, beginning its portfolio in renewable energy investment that now tops C$7.8-billion and generates nearly 2,000 net MW of green energy, with a growing footprint in European offshore wind.
In 2005, Enbridge acquired Shell Gas Transmission, which included ownership interests in 11 natural gas transmission and gas gathering pipelines in five major offshore Gulf of Mexico corridors.
