CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) â The Minnesota Court of Appeals on Monday affirmed a state regulatorâs decision that there is sufficient need for Enbridge Inc to replace its Line 3 pipeline, handing the Canadian company a crucial victory in its lengthy battle with environmental opponents.
The decision marks another hurdle cleared for Enbridgeâs efforts to replace the aging pipeline that carries Alberta oil sands crude through the state.
Line 3, which entered service in 1968, ships crude from Alberta to U.S. Midwest refiners, and carries less oil than it was designed for because of age and corrosion. Replacing the pipeline would allow Enbridge to roughly double its capacity to 760,000 barrels per day.
