Enbridge's economic impact on New York
Our workforce
Enbridge’s people live and work in communities like yours as colleagues, neighbors and friends. In 2023:
- Enbridge’s workforce included 11 New York-based permanent and temporary employees, and provisioned contractors, at year’s end.
- Enbridge paid more than $920,000 in base pay to our New York-based permanent and temporary employees—much of that injected directly into the state economy.
- On a national scale, Enbridge had an American workforce of 4,189 permanent and temporary employees, and provisioned contractors, at year’s end, and paid more than $395 million in base pay to our permanent and temporary employees in the U.S.
Tax revenue
Enbridge’s presence in the community fuels quality of life through ongoing tax revenue. In 2023:
- Enbridge paid more than $30.8 million in property tax across New York for our pipelines and related facilities, such as terminals, storage facilities and pump/compressor stations.
- Enbridge paid $1.5 million in sales-and-use taxes and $1.3 million in corporate income tax across New York.

This revenue can be used for schools, infrastructure (roads and bridges), health and wellness, recreation, transportation and other services that help strengthen the fabric of the community.
