KINDER MORGAN ENERGY PARTNERS INCREASES

QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION TO $0.92 PER UNIT

HOUSTON, Jan. 16, 2008 – Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: KMP) today increased its quarterly cash distribution per common unit to $0.92 from $0.88.  Payable on Feb. 14, 2008, to unitholders of record as of Jan. 31, 2008, the distribution represents an 11 percent increase over the fourth quarter 2006 cash distribution per unit of $0.83.  KMP has increased the distribution 31 times since current management took over in February of 1997.  In total, KMP declared cash distributions for 2007 of $3.48 per unit, exceeding its published annual budget of $3.44, and 7 percent higher than declared cash distributions in 2006 of $3.26 per unit.  The excess of distributable cash flow before certain items above distributions for 2007 was approximately $40 million.

KMP reported record quarterly distributable cash flow before certain items of $242 million, up 21 percent from $200 million for the fourth quarter of 2006.  Distributable cash flow per unit before certain items was $1.00, up 15 percent from $0.87 per unit for the comparable period last year.  Fourth quarter net income before certain items was $299.2 million compared to $245.8 million for the same period last year.  Including certain items, net income for the fourth quarter was $293.3 million compared to $267.3 million for the same period in 2006.  Certain items in the fourth quarter resulted in a net loss of $5.9 million and included a gain from the sale of the North System, as well as increases in legal and environmental reserves.

For 2007, KMP produced distributable cash flow before certain items of $865 million, up 16 percent from $743.1 million for the same period last year.  Distributable cash flow per unit before certain items was $3.65, up 11 percent from $3.30 for 2006.  Net income before certain items for the year was $1 billion compared to $958.6 million for 2006.  Net income including

certain items for the full year was $590.3 million compared to $1.0 billion in 2006.  As was explained in the second and third quarter earnings releases, the net income including certain items includes the impact of a non-cash reduction in the carrying value of the Trans Mountain Pipeline’s goodwill that was taken at Knight Inc. (formerly Kinder Morgan, Inc. – KMI) in the first quarter of 2007.  Following KMP’s purchase of Trans Mountain in the second quarter, the historical KMI financial results of Trans Mountain, including the impact of the goodwill reduction, must be reflected at KMP as well.  KMP’s overall carrying value for Trans Mountain must also reflect KMI’s basis and as a result, exceeds the amount that KMP paid for the asset.

Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder said, “KMP had a superb fourth quarter and an outstanding year with all of our business segments reporting an increase in earnings before DD&A.  Total full-year segment earnings before DD&A increased by 14 percent compared to 2006 to an all-time high of $2.2 billion.  Results were driven by strong performances from the Natural Gas and Products pipelines business segments, along with contributions from Trans Mountain Pipeline, which was acquired in the second quarter of 2007.  Considering that we achieved these strong 2007 results without realizing any significant contributions from a number of large new infrastructure projects that we are building through our capital expansion program, I’m extremely confident in stating that KMP is well positioned for future growth.  For example, we invested over $2.5 billion last year in new infrastructure and expansion projects, and REX-West – the second major segment of the Rockies Express Pipeline project – began interim service Jan. 12 and is expected to be fully operational in February.  We are very excited to begin delivering value from projects such as this to our unitholders and shareholders.  We plan to invest over $3 billion in additional capital expansion projects this year, and the REX-East, Midcontinent Express and Kinder Morgan Louisiana pipeline projects are expected to be under construction in 2008 and drive growth in 2009 and beyond.”

Overview of Business Segments

The Products Pipelines segment produced fourth quarter segment earnings before DD&A of $138.5 million, up 7 percent from the same period last year.  For the year, this segment generated $585.9 million in earnings before DD&A, up 17 percent from 2006 and

KMP - 4Q Earnings Page 3

exceeding its published annual budget of 14 percent growth.  Results would have been even higher except for the sale of the North System which closed Oct. 5, 2007.

“The Products Pipelines business had an excellent year with all of the businesses in this segment delivering higher earnings before DD&A than they did in 2006,” Kinder said.  “Growth was spearheaded by the Cochin Pipeline, reflecting both strong performance and the remaining interest in the asset that we acquired from BP in the first quarter of 2007.  The West Coast terminals, Plantation Pipe Line Company and our Transmix operations also produced significantly higher earnings before DD&A than they did in 2006.”

For the year, total refined products revenues were up 6 percent and volumes were down 0.4 percent.  Excluding Plantation, which was impacted by a competing pipeline that began service midyear 2006, total refined products volumes were up 0.8 percent for the year.  Overall, gasoline volumes were down 3.2 percent (primarily due to Plantation) and diesel and jet fuel volumes were up 3.7 and 4.7 percent, respectively.  Volumes for the year were up 1 percent on the Pacific and 2 percent on the Central Florida pipeline systems, respectively.  While NGL volumes in this segment were down for the year, NGL revenues were up substantially due to KMP’s increased ownership stake in Cochin.

The Natural Gas Pipelines business produced fourth quarter segment earnings before DD&A of $178.5 million, up 28 percent from the same period last year.  For the year, this segment generated $600.8 million in earnings before DD&A, up 8 percent from 2006 and exceeding its published annual budget of 1 percent growth.  “Our Natural Gas Pipelines business had a tremendous year, once again led by the Texas intrastate pipelines,” Kinder said.  “Growth by the intrastates was attributable to higher sales margins and increased transportation revenue from renewal and incremental contracts, along with greater value from storage activities.  Additionally, the Texas intrastate and Casper-Douglas processing activities produced strong results.”

For the year, transport volumes were up 10 percent and sales volumes were down 5 percent versus 2006.

The CO2business delivered fourth quarter segment earnings before DD&A of $144.9 million, up 26 percent from the same period last year.  For the year, this segment

KMP - 4Q Earnings Page 4

produced $537.2 million, up 10 percent from 2006, but well below its published annual budget of 24 percent growth.  “With the exception of SACROC, which had significantly lower earnings before DD&A than budgeted, the CO2 segment had a good year,” Kinder said.  “Results were driven by oil production at Yates, higher NGL sales volumes due to increased recoveries at our SACROC gas processing operations and solid sales and transport volumes, particularly in the fourth quarter.”

For the quarter, average oil production at Yates increased to 27.8 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d), a record since KMP invested in Yates.  For the year, average production increased 4 percent from 2006 to 27 MBbl/d.  At the SACROC Unit, average oil production for the quarter fell to 25.3 MBbl/d and decreased by 10 percent for the year to 27.6 MBbl/d.  NGL sales volumes increased by 9 percent compared to 2006.

The CO2 segment is an area where KMP is exposed to commodity price risk, but that risk is mitigated by a long-term hedging strategy intended to generate more stable realized prices.  The realized weighted average oil price per barrel, with all hedges allocated to oil, was $37.57 for the quarter and $36.05 for the year.  The realized weighted average NGL price per barrel, allocating none of the hedges to NGLs, was $66.67 for the quarter and $52.91 for the year.

The Terminals business reported fourth quarter segment earnings before DD&A of $124.2 million, up 16 percent from the same period last year.  For the year, this segment had $442.4 million in earnings before DD&A, up 12 percent from 2006 and basically flat with its published annual budget.  “Our terminals business had a solid year, with growth attributable to both acquisitions and organic opportunities,” Kinder said.  “Internal expansions contributed to increased earnings before DD&A in the fourth quarter and are expected to boost future throughput.”

For example, approximately 28 new tanks were completed in the fourth quarter or will be brought online in the first quarter 2008 at terminals on the Houston Ship Channel, in New York Harbor, in Argo, Ill., and near Edmonton, Alberta.  This represents over 1 million barrels of new tankage capacity that went into service in the fourth quarter and approximately 3.75 million barrels of additional new capacity that is expected to come online this quarter.  Several

acquisitions also contributed to earnings including Vancouver Wharves in British Columbia and Marine Terminals, which has five facilities in four states.

The Trans Mountain Pipeline, which KMP acquired April 30, 2007, produced fourth quarter segment earnings before DD&A of $14.2 million and contributed $56.9 million for the year, about 6 percent higher than its published annual budget.  Volumes were up 13 percent for the year compared to 2006 due in part to a pump station expansion.

Outlook

As previously announced, KMP expects to declare cash distributions of $4.02 per unit for 2008.  This projection includes contributions from assets currently owned by KMP and does not include any benefits from unidentified acquisitions.  Kinder Morgan Management, LLC (NYSE: KMR) also expects to declare distributions of $4.02 per share for 2008.

“As previously noted, our capital expansion program will begin to produce significant dividends in 2008, and we expect to grow KMP’s distribution per unit by about 16 percent compared to our 2007 results,” Kinder said.  “We project our business units will deliver approximately $2.6 billion in distributable cash flow, which is an increase of about $500 million over their 2007 performance.  This expected robust growth will be spearheaded by REX-West, higher hedge prices on our crude production and anticipated strong performances from other assets.”

KMP will provide details of its 2008 financial plan at its annual investor conference in Houston on Thursday, Jan. 24, which will be webcast live.  As in previous years, KMP will post its budget on its web site at www.kindermorgan.com to enable investors to follow the company’s progress throughout the year.  “We remain committed to transparency, and we will continue to review and explain any variances to the budgets during our quarterly earnings calls,” Kinder said.

The non-generally accepted accounting principles financial measures of distributable cash flow, distributable cash flow per unit, and earnings before DD&A are presented in this news release.  For KMP overall, we define distributable cash flow to be limited partners’ pretax income before DD&A less cash taxes paid and sustaining capital expenditures for KMP, plus DD&A less sustaining capital expenditures for Rockies Express, our equity method investee.  For our segments we define distributable cash flow as segment net income (which is before corporate costs of G&A and interest) plus DD&A less sustaining capital expenditures.  The components of the difference between overall KMP distributable cash flow and segment distributable cash flow are cash versus book taxes, DD&A and sustaining capital expenditures on Rockies Express, G&A, interest, minority interest and the general partner’s interest.  Distributable cash flow per unit is overall KMP distributable cash flow divided by average outstanding units.  We define segment earnings before DD&A as segment earnings plus DD&A and amortization of excess cost of equity investments.  The amounts included in the calculation of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), with the exception of certain items which are clearly identified in the attached charts and "sustaining capital expenditures,” which is not a defined term under GAAP.  Consistent with
