Enbridge Inc. ENB is a leading midstream energy player that generates stable fee-based revenues. Due to the very nature of the business model, the company is not vulnerable to the volatility in oil and natural gas prices.
ENB is also well-positioned to generate incremental cash flows for shareholders. This fact is getting reflected in the midstream giant’s C$32 billion in secured capital projects. This includes projects related to liquid pipelines, gas transmissions, renewables and gas distribution & storage.
Once the projects come online, ENB will generate additional cash flows to support shareholders’ dividend payments. In fact, Enbridge has been rewarding shareholders with dividend hikes for 30 consecutive years.
EPD & WMB Also Boast Stable Cash Flows
Enterprise Products Partners LP EPD and Williams WMB are also midstream energy giants like ENB.
EPD has more than 50,000 miles of pipeline network transporting oil, gas, refined products and other commodities. EPD also has a liquid storage facility of more than 300,000 barrels. Thus, from the assets, the partnership generates stable fees, thereby generating stable cash flows for unitholders.
Williams is also a leading midstream energy player and is well-positioned to capitalize on clean energy demand. This is because, with its pipeline network spanning 33,000 miles, WMB is responsible for the transportation of significant natural gas volumes produced in the United States. Thus, WMB also generates stable cash flows for shareholders.
