What AltaGas does

Canadian energy infrastructure company running regulated natural-gas distribution utilities and a midstream (NGL export/processing) business.

Utilities earn a regulator-approved return on the pipes and equipment they own, which in the US mainly means Washington Gas, bought with WGL in 2018. The midstream arm earns on propane and butane exported from British Columbia to Asia, so it moves with global gas-liquids prices, unlike the utilities.

In one line: A mix of a regulated gas utility (like WEC Energy) and an NGL midstream operator (like Tar.
