What Fortis does

North American regulated electric and gas utility holding company with operations across Canada, the US and the Caribbean.

Owns local utilities whose rates are set by regulators to cover costs plus an allowed return on the assets invested, so earnings grow as it spends on its networks. Most of its assets are in the US, built up through the 2016 purchase of ITC, an independent electricity transmission company, and other US utilities. Each utility is run by local management.
