Sponsored by OBOT Pillar Partner: Enbridge Gas
Members of the Ottawa Board of Trade,
My name is Matthew Wilson and I am the Senior Advisor, Municipal and Stakeholder Engagement, located here in Ottawa for Enbridge Gas Inc.
Enbridge is very proud to be strong supporter of the Ottawa Board of Trade. Our commitment to community building is reflected in our sponsorship of the Mayor’s Breakfast Series, the recent Best Ottawa Business Awards, the 2024 City Building Summit, and our 2024 Pillar Partnership. The Board and its members are city builders. So is Enbridge.
In the coming months, Enbridge Gas intends to apply for the Ontario Energy Board’s permission to replace the St Laurent pipeline. Here is why the project is so important to Ottawa’s residents, institutions, and businesses:
Replacing the northern section of the St Laurent pipeline ensures the safety and reliability of the broader natural gas network serving three of every four homes in the city. The St Laurent pipeline supplies 165,000 consumers, almost half of Ottawa’s 400,000 Enbridge Gas customers. We have spent the last 16 months completing integrity audits and deep inspection analysis, as encouraged by the Ontario Energy Board. The pipeline’s condition highlights the need for preventative maintenance.
