Jul 31, 2026, 12:21 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The Phase 2 delay reduces expected near-term volume growth and cash flow, possibly weighing EBITDA and dividend visibility; akin to prior mid-cycle delays that triggered short-term stock weakness until guidance or execution clarity improves.

Enbridge said it is postponing the second phase of its Mainline crude network, a 250,000 bpd expansion, due to weak upstream commitments in Canada.
