'''Enbridge Inc.''' is a multinational [[pipeline transport|pipeline]] and energy company headquartered in [[Calgary]], [[Alberta]], Canada. Enbridge owns and operates pipelines throughout Canada and the United States, transporting crude oil, natural gas, and [[natural gas liquids]], and also generates [[renewable energy]]. [[Enbridge Pipeline System|Enbridge's pipeline system]] is the longest in North America and the largest oil export pipeline network in the world.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2022-11-21 |title=Enbridge rations Canada pipeline space, adding to oil headwinds - BNN Bloomberg |url=https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/enbridge-rations-canada-pipeline-space-adding-to-oil-headwinds-1.1849354 |access-date=2022-11-24 |website=BNN Bloomberg}}</ref> Its crude oil system consists of 28,661 kilometres (17,809 miles) of pipelines.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Enbridge|title=Crude oil and liquids pipelines|url=https://www.enbridge.com/about-us/liquids-pipelines|access-date=2021-10-29|website=Enbridge}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Enbridge's liquids pipelines network |url=https://www.enbridge.com/About-Us/Liquids-Pipelines |access-date=2022-11-24 |website=www.enbridge.com |language=en}}</ref> Its 38,300 kilometre (23,800 mile) natural gas pipeline system connects multiple Canadian provinces, several US states, and the Gulf of Mexico.<ref name=":9" /> The company was formed by [[Imperial Oil]] in 1949 as the '''Interprovincial Pipe Line Company Limited''' to transport Alberta oil to refineries. Over time, it has grown through acquisition of other existing pipeline companies and the expansion of their projects.

Enbridge has been responsible for several oil spills, including a spill on [[Line 3 pipeline|Line 3]], which was the [[Line 3 oil spill|largest inland oil spill in the US]]. Opposition to Enbridge projects has resulted in several popular uprisings, most notably the [[Dakota Access Pipeline protests]], and the [[Stop Line 3 protests]].

==History==
The company was initially incorporated by [[Imperial Oil]] as Interprovincial Pipe Line Company (IPL) on April 30, 1949, after Canada's first major oil discovery, in 1947, at [[Leduc, Alberta]].<ref name="reference">

====Power transmission====
In February 2020, Enbridge sold its shares of Montana-Alberta Tie-Line (MATL) to Berkshire Hathaway Energy. The MATL project is a 300-megawatt (MW), 230-kilovolt (kV) electrical transmission line allowing movement of power between Alberta and Montana. The MATL project, which was placed in service the fall of 2013, supports ongoing development of a rich wind-powered generation resource and allows electrical energy to flow in both directions. The transmission line is 210 miles (345&nbsp;km) long and runs between the [[Lethbridge, Alberta]] area and the [[Great Falls, Montana]] area. Roughly one-third of the line is in Canada and two-thirds in the U.S.<ref>{{cite web|title=Montana-Alberta tie line now fully operational|url=http://poweringalberta.com/2013/09/18/montana-alberta-tie-line-now-fully-operational/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714205241/http://poweringalberta.com/2013/09/18/montana-alberta-tie-line-now-fully-operational/|archive-date=14 July 2014|access-date=1 July 2014|publisher=Alberta Electric System Operators (AESO)}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Kessler|first1=Richard A.|title=Montana–Alberta Wind Power Line Seen Nearing Completion|url=http://www.rechargenews.com/wind/article1297989.ece|access-date=1 July 2014|publisher=NHST Media Group}}</ref>
