The purchase of the three U.S. utilities gives Enbridge natural gas utility operations in Ohio, North Carolina, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming a significant presence in the U.S. utility sector. In total, Enbridge’s gas utility business will have a combined rate base of more than C$27 billion and about 7,000 employees, delivering over nine billion cubic feet per day of gas to approximately seven million customers.
