Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Spectra Energy Corp Intention to Omit Stockholder Proposal Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is to inform you that Spectra Energy Corp (the “Company”) intends to exclude from its proxy statement and form of proxy for the Company’s 2009 annual meeting of stockholders (collectively, the “2009 Proxy Materials”) a stockholder proposal and statement in support thereof (the “Proposal”) received from the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (the “Proponent”). The Proposal requests that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) prepare a report concerning the feasibility of adopting quantitative goals, based on current and emerging technologies, for reducing total greenhouse gas emissions from the Company’s operations; and that the Company should submit this report to shareholders by December 31, 2009. The Proponent’s letter setting forth the Proposal is attached hereto as Attachment A. On behalf of the Company, we hereby respectfully request that the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission concur in our opinion that the Proposal may be properly excluded from the 2009 Proxy Materials for the reasons set forth below. This letter and its attachments are being submitted by email to [email protected] in compliance with Staff Legal Bulletin 14D (Nov. 7, 2008) and in lieu of providing six additional copies of this letter pursuant to Rule 14a-8(j). A copy of this letter and its attachments simultaneously is being sent by email to the Proponent as notice of the Company’s intent to omit the Proposal from the Company’s 2009 Proxy Materials. The Company intends to file its definitive 2009 Proxy Materials with the Commission no earlier than March 15, 2009. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 14a-8(j), we submit this letter not later than 80 days before the Company intends to file its 2009 Proxy Materials. The Company In January 2007, the Company was created as a new public company by the spin-off by Duke Energy Corporation of its natural gas pipeline business to its shareholders. The Company, through its subsidiaries and equity affiliates, owns and operates a large and diversified portfolio of complementary natural gas-related energy assets. The Company operates in three key areas of the natural gas industry: gathering and processing, transmission and storage, and distribution. The Company provides transportation and storage of natural gas to customers in various regions of the northeastern and southeastern United States, the Maritime Provinces in Canada, the Pacific Northwest in the United States and Canada, and in the province of Ontario, Canada. The Company also provides natural gas sales and distribution services to retail customers in Ontario, and natural gas gathering and processing services to customers in Western Canada. In addition, the Company owns a 50% interest in DCP Midstream, LLC, one of the largest natural gas gatherers and processors in the United States. The Proposal The terms of the Proposal are as follows: “RESOLVED: Shareholders request that the Board of Directors prepare a report concerning the feasibility of adopting quantitative goals, based on current and emerging technologies, for reducing total greenhouse gas emissions from the company’s operations; and that the company should submit this report to shareholders by December 31, 2009. Such a report will omit proprietary information and be prepared at reasonable cost.” Discussion In November 2008, the Company issued, and delivered to its shareholders, its 2007-2008 Baseline Sustainability Report (the “Sustainability Report”). The Sustainability Report focuses on the economic, social and environmental impact of the Company’s operations during 2007, the Company’s first year of operations as a stand-alone company. The Company anticipates that the Sustainability Report, which can be found on the Company’s website at: www.spectraenergy.com/our_responsibility/, and is attached hereto as Attachment B, will be followed by a similar report in 2010, and biannually thereafter. In its Sustainability Report, the Company sets forth its approach to climate change and its past and present efforts to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases. As a baseline report, the Sustainability Report disclosed the Company’s aggregate greenhouse gas footprint, disclosed quantitatively the amount of greenhouse gas reductions achieved through recent conservation efforts, discussed the Company’s approach to climate change, discussed the Company’s establishment of a baseline to permit the Company to measure the progress of its greenhouse gas reduction efforts and outlined the Company’s most significant programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. See the Sustainability Report, pages 28-31. The Company is also a participant in the Carbon Disclosure Project, a global initiative to collect and catalogue data from corporations relevant to climate change. The Carbon Disclosure Project named the Company to its U.S. S&P 500 Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (the "CDLI") for carbon-intensive industries. Companies selected for the CDLI have demonstrated superior transparency and accountability by publicly disclosing detailed climate change strategies. As a participant in the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Company has publicly provided detailed responses to a standard questionnaire regarding greenhouse gas emissions.

    DTE Energy, Enbridge and Spectra Energy to Develop New Major Pipeline to Connect Growing Utica Shale Gas Supplies to Premium Markets in the U.S. Midwest and Ontario Sep 4, 2012 HOUSTON – DTE Energy (NYSE: DTE), Enbridge Inc. (NYSE: ENB) and Spectra Energy Corp (NYSE: SE) (the “Partners”) today announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop the NEXUS Gas Transmission (NGT) system, a project that will move growing supplies of Ohio Utica shale gas to markets in the U.S. Midwest, including Ohio and Michigan, and Ontario, Canada. The proposed NGT project will originate in northeastern Ohio, include approximately 250 miles of large diameter pipe, and be capable of transporting one billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. The line will follow existing utility corridors to an interconnect in Michigan and utilize the existing Vector Pipeline system to reach the Ontario market. Upon completion of the project, Spectra Energy will become a 20-percent owner in Vector Pipeline, a joint venture between DTE Energy and Enbridge. The new pipeline will serve local distribution companies, power generators and industrial users in the Ohio, Michigan and Ontario markets. It will include interconnects with Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, Consumers Energy and, through the Vector Pipeline, the Enbridge Tecumseh Gas Storage facility and Union Gas’ Dawn Hub, both in Ontario. The Partners have received expressions of interest for a significant level of firm capacity to anchor the project. An open season for the project is planned for fourth quarter 2012, with a targeted in-service as early as November 2015, depending on final market demand and commitments.
