Our Model

Fortis has a decentralized business model. Our leadership teams are local to their communities and customers and work closely with local regulators. Each of our significant operating utilities has an independent board chair and a majority of independent board members.

 

While our companies operate independently in distinct business environments, they have strong ties and share best practices across our 9,600 employees. Subject matter experts from many areas of our business, including electricity and gas operations, safety, sustainability, technology, and human resources, work together to share ideas, drive innovation, and foster improvements that advance our business.

Benefits of the Fortis Approach:

  • Supports growth and long-term value.

  • Empowers our utilities to innovate, advance sustainability efforts, and build constructive regulatory relationships.

  • Ensures flexibility and responsiveness for customers.

  • Minimizes overall business risk.
