Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P., referred to herein as “we” or “our,” previously stated that the estimated target in-service date for our Sandpiper pipeline project would be in early 2016. We now estimate that the in-service date for the Sandpiper pipeline project will occur during 2017. The delay is a result of a longer than expected permitting process in the State of Minnesota.
