1
Maturity date is inclusive of the one-year term out option for certain credit facilities.
2
Includes facility draws and commercial paper issuances that are back-stopped by credit facilities.

 

In July 2025, we renewed approximately $8.8 billion of our 364-day extendible credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2027, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2026. We also renewed approximately $7.8 billion of our five-year credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2030. Further, we extended the maturity dates of our three-year credit facilities to July 2028.

 

In July 2025, Enbridge Gas Ontario and Enbridge Pipelines Inc. extended the maturity dates of their $2.5 billion and $2.0 billion 364-day extendible credit facilities, respectively, to July 2027, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2026.

 

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.6 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $932 million was unutilized as at December 31, 2025. As at December 31, 2024, we had $1.4 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $931 million was unutilized.

 

Our credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of 0.1% per annum on the unused portion and draws bear interest at market rates. Certain credit facilities serve as a back-stop to our commercial paper programs and we have the option to extend such facilities, which are currently scheduled to mature from 2027 to 2049.

 

As at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit facilities that mature within one year, of $12.1 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively, were supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and, therefore, have been classified as long-term debt.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
