Enbridge Gas Panhandle Regional Expansion Project is now in service
- Project helps provide energy necessary to fuel growth in Southwestern Ontario
The first phase of Enbridge Gas Ontario's Panhandle Regional Expansion Project is now in service in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, home to a world-leading greenhouse industry.
This investment in energy infrastructure, ultimately more than $358 MM, will provide the increased capacity to support economic growth and development and stimulate an anticipated $4.5 B in investments and local jobs.
The new pipeline will also deliver reliable energy to electricity generation facilities in the area. This energy is required to help meet Ontario's growing energy demands due to increasing electrification and strong population and economic growth. Access to a resilient, dependable energy supply ensures investments in large-scale manufacturing projects can be made with confidence.
The project includes 19 km of new 36-in. diameter pipeline installed alongside an existing corridor extending from Lakeshore to Chatham-Kent. Additional work in 2025 is expected to include construction at the nearby Dawn Hub, enabling connection to Ontario's underground natural gas storage facilities. The Dawn Hub plays a crucial role in providing reliable and resilient natural gas supply to the Company's residential, commercial and industrial customers.
"The Panhandle Regional Expansion Project is a game-changer for families and businesses in Southwestern Ontario. This project will ensure access to reliable and affordable energy, supporting local communities, attracting investments, and creating 7,000 good-paying jobs. Our government is delivering affordable energy families need to power their homes, fuel their businesses and greenhouses, and support a thriving local economy," said Stephen Lecce, Ontario Minister of Energy and Electrification.
"Ontario's economic prosperity hinges on the accessibility of resilient, cost-effective energy sources like natural gas. This project exemplifies Enbridge Gas' commitment to meeting these needs and the demand for natural gas from businesses and industries that are the backbone of Ontario's economy. It is also a prime example of the strong collaboration between businesses, governments, regulators, stakeholders and communities that will be required to meet Ontario's increasing energy needs in the years to come," said Brian Johnson, General Manager and SVP, Enbridge Gas Ontario.
