Stocks of Enbridge Inc (TSX:ENB) climbed to a one-year high on Monday, June 14, as the Minnesota Court of Appeals permitted its Line 3 oil pipeline replacement project in the US.
The pipeline will carry Canadian oilsands crude from Alberta to northwestern Wisconsin, US.
The permission comes after the project faced strong opposition from the indigenous community and environmental activists.
Enbridge expects to increase the capacity of the pipeline to 760,000 barrels of oil a day by the fourth quarter of this year.
The Calgary-based energy company’s share price surged more than two per cent to C$ 49.44 apiece on the back of this development. The energy stock’s dividend yield, on the other hand, improved to 6.75 per cent.
