The National Energy Board has given its approval of the $2-billion Alberta Clipper oil pipeline proposed by Enbridge Inc. but attached certain conditions in response to concerns raised in public hearings last November. The pipeline will stretch from Alberta to Wisconsin. The Canadian portion stretches 1,078 kilometres between Enbridge's terminal near Hardisty, Alta., and the Canada-U.S. border near Gretna, Man. The Calgary-based pipeline company must conduct an emergency response exercise at its South Saskatchewan River crossing to allay concerns about safety. The company says it's reviewing the details of the board's decision. ENB (TSX) closed up 13 cents at $40.83.

Enbridge Inc. says the National Energy Board has approved the $2.2-billion (U.S.) Southern Lights pipeline project, which will ship chemicals from the U.S. Midwest to northern Alberta for oil sands development. The new line will carry 180,000 barrels per day of diluent - light hydrocarbons or chemicals used to dilute the oil sands enough to allow it to flow through pipelines. The full Southern Lights plan involves laying nearly 1,100 kilometres of new pipe, reversing the flow in some existing lines and using other existing facilities. ENB (TSX) closed up 54 cents to $41.24.
