Demand for Enbridge's products and services exhibits some seasonality, particularly in its natural gas and renewable energy segments. The broader energy sector experiences a period of seasonal strength from January to May. Enbridge is expanding its natural gas transmission and storage capacity to support growing demand. The company's mainline system experienced strong demand in most of 2025 and continued into early 2026. Renewable power generation output is inherently seasonal and dependent on natural factors.
