Here are the key takeaways from Enbridge’s conference call:

• Enbridge reaffirmed its 2026 guidance after adjusted EBITDA rose by more than CAD 130 million year over year in Q2, supported by high utilization, stronger liquids volumes, favorable gas transmission rate outcomes and lower maintenance capital. DCF per share increased, although EPS declined slightly due to higher depreciation and interest expense.
• The company has sanctioned approximately CAD 9 billion of projects in 2026 and is targeting up to CAD 20 billion of new sanctions through 2027, backed by a CAD 41 billion secured backlog and roughly CAD 50 billion of organic opportunities through 2030.
• Mainline Optimization Phase 2 is being resequenced because Canadian producers and governments need more time to finalize production policies and commitments. Enbridge will prioritize downstream Chicago South, Flanagan South and Southern Access opportunities, while retaining several options for a future Mainline expansion.
• Gas Transmission demand remains robust across LNG exports, power generation, data centers and industrial growth. Project Beacon attracted significantly more interest than expected, while Blackcomb is being commissioned, Bay Runner Twin has been sanctioned and the CAD 4 billion Sunrise expansion has begun construction.
• Utilities are forecast to deliver more than 8% rate-base growth, led by U.S. operations, and Renewable Power is constructing more than 2 gigawatts of generation with blue-chip counterparties including Meta. Management also expects to maintain its leverage within the 4.5x–5.0x target range, despite elevated near-term debt tied to growth investment.
