CALGARY – Enbridge Inc. has announced plans to spend US$1.4 billion to increase its capacity to ship Canadian heavy oil to the United States.

The company says it has reached a final investment decision to add capacity on its Mainline network and its Flanagan South pipeline.

The move comes as it says it faces customer demand to increase deliveries of Canadian heavy oil to key refining markets in the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast.
