In June 2024, the MECP launched the Emissions Performance Program (EPP), a program funded by compliance payments collected from EPS. The EPP allows EPS facilities to apply for funding to support projects that reduce eligible GHG emissions at the eligible EPS facility. Enbridge Gas Ontario has identified projects that are potentially eligible for EPP funding and is working with the MECP to submit EPP applications.

Enbridge Gas Ontario applies to the OEB annually through a Federal Carbon Pricing Program application for approval of just and reasonable rates effective April 1 each year to recover the costs associated with the Federal Carbon Charge and EPS Regulation as a pass-through to customers.

Our US gas distribution operations are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the management, storage, treatment, reuse, and disposal of waste materials and hazardous substances. These include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, and the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976. Wexpro's operations and construction activities, related to oil and gas production and gas storage wells, generate waste. Completion water is disposed of at commercial disposal facilities, while produced water is either hauled for disposal, evaporated, or injected into company and third party-owned underground injection wells. Wells drilled in tight-gas-sand and shale reservoirs require hydraulic-fracture stimulation to achieve economic production rates and recoverable reserves. The majority of Wexpro's current and future production and reserve potential comes from reservoirs that need hydraulic-fracture stimulation to be commercially viable. Currently, all well construction activities, including hydraulic-fracture stimulation and the management and disposal of hydraulic fracturing fluids, are regulated by federal and state agencies that review and approve all aspects of gas and oil well design and operation.

In 2025, we will report 2024 operational GHG emissions, including emissions from combustion, venting, and fugitive sources, for the first time for our newly acquired US Gas Utilities to the Environmental Protection Agency under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.

Renewable Power Generation

Our Renewable Power Generation assets are subject to a combination of federal, state, provincial and local government agencies. These regulations and laws associated with these agencies affect the development and operations of our renewable power assets and generally require us to assess the environmental landscape and obtain and comply with a variety of environmental licenses, permits and other approvals.
