Complaint says Enbridge's new $2.6 billion pipeline is no longer necessary

A Minnesota Indigenous environmental group told state utility regulators Tuesday that Enbridge has been adding considerable capacity to its existing oil pipelines in recent years, making the company's controversial new $2.6 billion pipeline unnecessary.

Honor the Earth, in a filing, asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to investigate Enbridge's capacity additions, saying the company made no mention of such moves during extensive hearings for the pipeline, a replacement for its deteriorating Line 3.

"It is difficult to see how (the new Line 3) is in the public interest in light of the apparent fact that Enbridge has already achieved (the pipeline's) capacity addition goals through other less impactful means," Honor the Earth said in a PUC filing.
