Analysis · ENB · Energy & Transportation
A planned CEO transition at Enbridge carries significant weight given the company's $41 billion growth project backlog. Greg Ebel will retire as President and CEO on December 31, 2026, with Michele Harradence, currently EVP and President of Gas Distribution and Storage, stepping into the role on January 1, 2027. The succession follows a multi-year Board-led process and is explicitly not the result of any disagreement. Harradence has led the gas utilities since 2022 and previously held senior roles at Shell Canada. The transition is orderly, with Ebel staying on as an advisor through May 2027, which reduces execution risk.
