What is the total investment amount and structure of the joint venture between Enbridge, KKR, and Apollo for the Westcoast natural gas pipeline expansions?

The joint venture involves a total investment of approximately C$2.7 billion in expansions of Enbridge’s Westcoast natural gas pipeline system in British Columbia. KKR and Apollo are investing alongside Enbridge, contributing C$0.7 billion in cash in exchange for an indirect 29% interest in the Westcoast system once the Sunrise expansion enters service. Enbridge retains majority ownership and operational control of the system.

When are the Aspen Point and Sunrise Expansion Programs expected to enter service, and what strategic role does the Westcoast system play in regional energy markets?

The Aspen Point Expansion Program is expected to enter service in 2026, followed by the Sunrise Expansion Program in late 2028. The Westcoast system supports growing demand for natural gas infrastructure in Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest, and also provides a route to international liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets.
