Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
If the open season translates into binding commitments, ENB could accumulate toll revenues and expand its rate base. The non-binding nature tempers near-term upside; history shows many open-season projects either materialize with favorable economics or stall, so the impact hinges on subsequent take-up and capex authorization.
