3 Commitment to Safety

4 Safety is a Core Value Spectra Energy employees and contractors at every level demonstrate a personal commitment to continuous safety improvement. The goal is to keep ourselves, our teams and our communities safe. Safety Principles Safety begins at the top Injuries and work-related illnesses are preventable Identifying and minimizing safety and health risks are priorities Personal ownership for safety and looking out for others is essential Openness, feedback and trust are keys to success Safety is good business, and a critical aspect of a high-performance organization Spectra Energy 3

5 Safe & Reliable Operations We focus on Meeting or exceeding all regulatory and industry safety standards during construction, operation and maintenance Responding 24/7 to any incident Monitoring our system Two 24/7 gas control centres where operators monitor and control gas flows using a sophisticated computer system Equipped with automated leak detection alarms and shut down systems Routine aerial patrols to check for third-party activity or abnormal system conditions Regularly scheduled leak surveys in which a system operator walks the right-of-way with gas detection instrument Excavations of the pipelines to inspect, repair and re-coat pipe sections, as required Inline inspections to look for anomalies such as corrosion or mechanical damage Valve servicing and maintenance to isolate pipeline sections in case of emergency Spectra Energy 4

6 Spectra Energy in British Columbia

7 Spectra Energy in British Columbia Our facilities have been the backbone of the natural gas sector in British Columbia for 60 years Today nearly 80% of the natural gas produced in British Columbia touches our system That gas is used to: Heat homes, hospitals, businesses and schools Electric power generation Industrial and manufacturing processes that produce hundreds of products that improve our daily lives PRINCE RUPERT KITIMAT BC BC MAINLINE LIARD FORT NELSON GRIZZLY VALLEY HORN RIVER CORDOVA FORT ST.

9 Planning & Development

10 Planning & Development Growth and Development Near Pipelines Pipelines and other buried infrastructure exist today and more will be needed Population density will likely increase Effective land use planning can reduce the risk of damage Local area planning and collaboration is needed Spectra Energy 9

11 Planning & Development Informed Land-use Planning Right-of-ways are the tracts of land above buried pipelines A right-of-way should always be clearly marked and free of obstructions Do this Avoid this Spectra Energy 10

12 Maintenance Projects

13 Maintenance & Reliability Projects Rosedale: Compressor Station 9 Upgrades Purpose: Undertake equipment upgrades to Compressor Station 9 at Rosedale, 12 km east of Chilliwack Maintain the compressor station s existing capacity in a safe and reliable way Project Scope & Benefits: Add a new compressor unit, gas cooler and undertake related facility work Undertake alternate site location investigations The new compressor unit will be more efficient, quieter and produce less emissions Project Status: Commence construction in Q with completion in Q CHILLIWACK What is a compressor station? A compressor station moves natural gas through a pipeline. To flow efficiently, natural gas must be compressed and pushed at certain points along a pipeline system. Spectra Energy 12

14 Expansion Projects

15 Expansion Projects Pipeline expansions and reliability enhancements to help move natural gas to homes, businesses and customers inside and outside of British Columbia LIARD HORN RIVER CORDOVA Projects In-Service* Jackfish Lake (T-North) 1H 2017 High Pine (T-North) 2H 2017 Wyndwood (T-North) 1H 2018 Spruce Ridge (T-North) 1H 2019 Aitken Creek (T-North) 1H 2019 Enhanced Pipeline Reliability Program (T-South) *In-service timelines subject to change 2018 Total Capital Investment: >$1.5 Billion High Pine Spruce Ridge VANCOUVER COMPRESSOR STATION 2 BC BC MAINLINE SEATTLE PORTLAND Aitken Creek MONTNEY Jackfish Wyndwood BC Mainline AB Enhanced Pipeline Reliability Program CALGARY Gathering pipelines Processing plants Spectra Energy 14

16 Potential Expansion Project T-South Consistently strong market demand for B.C. natural gas in both winter and summer Transportation capacity on T-South is fully contracted and system expansions in various forms will be necessary to meet emerging transportation needs These capacity additions would involve various combinations of pipeline looping, new compression, and crossover assemblies Spectra Energy is working with customers to better understand future transportation needs and will share project scopes once they re developed Spectra Energy 15

17 Enbridge & Spectra Energy Merger

18 Enbridge & Spectra Energy Merger On Tuesday, September 6, Enbridge entered into a definitive merger agreement with Spectra Energy to create the largest North American energy infrastructure company Spectra Energy and Enbridge will continue to operate as separate, independent companies until the transaction closes, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2017 We are committed to keeping you up-to-date with more information on the merger and its impacts on Spectra Energy s operations in B.C. as it becomes available Left to right: Enbridge CEO Al Monaco and Spectra Energy CEO Greg Ebel Spectra Energy 17
