Fortis Inc.

Thank you to Fatima Syed of The Narwhal Magazine for her coverage of the Wataynikaneyap Power project. The vivid storytelling will provide you insights about this important energy project in Northwestern Ontario that Fortis Inc. serves as a partner in. Construction of the 1,800 km transmission line is now complete, with only a few of the 17 First Nations communities left to be officially connected to the main Ontario electricity grid for the first time. Thank you to all 24 First Nations whose majority partnership made this project a reality, and to the Government of Canada and Ontario Government | Gouvernement de l’Ontario for their support. #linethatbringslight #wataynikaneyap Electricity Canada Electricity Distributors Association Ontario Energy Association Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) Association of Power Producers of Ontario (APPrO) Hydro One https://lnkd.in/eiPNXdNx

Please note cautionary statements in the link below. Today Fortis announced our $26 billion five-year capital plan, our largest to date. David Hutchens, President and CEO, Fortis Inc., said the plan is driven by transmission investments at our subsidiary ITC, the resource transition in Arizona, and economic and customer growth across our footprint. Notably at ITC, Fortis sees tangible opportunities beyond the five-year plan to invest in regional transmission in the U.S. Midwest, supporting energy transition and load growth in the region. Our regulated growth strategy remains committed to delivering reliable and affordable service for our customers and annual dividend growth of 4-6% through 2029 for our shareholders.
