Stars
ITC Holdings Transmission Expansion
ITC Holdings, the largest independent U.S. transmission owner, sits in Fortis’s BCG matrix as a star: high market share in a high-growth market driven by grid modernization; U.S. transmission investments reached about $3.5 billion in 2024, with ITC contributing materially.
The U.S. needs roughly $120–200 billion in new long-distance lines by 2035 to link wind and solar hubs to cities; Fortis has committed multi-billion-dollar capital allocations to ITC expansion through 2025–2027 to capture this demand.
Multi-Value Project (MVP) Pipelines
Multi-Value Project (MVP) Pipelines are large regional transmission builds across the MISO footprint that boost grid reliability and cut emissions; MISO estimates these projects enable ~30% more renewable integration by 2030.
Fortis, via regulated subsidiaries, holds a dominant position in these mandated build-outs, driving high growth: projected capex tied to MVPs is ~US$1.1–1.3bn annually through 2027, fueling future rate base expansion.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure
Fortis is scaling EV charging and grid-readiness across its Canadian and Caribbean territories, targeting 4,000+ public chargers and ~C$150M in related capital through 2026 to capture rising demand.
Arizona Clean Energy Transition
Arizona Clean Energy Transition via Tucson Electric Power (Fortis) is shifting from coal to >1 GW solar plus 500 MWh storage, addressing Arizona’s 1.2% annual population growth and rising cooling demand; regulatory mandates (Arizona’s 2030 RPS-lean targets) create a high-growth market where Fortis holds ~60% regional utility share.
High capital expenditure (projects ~USD 800–1,000M through 2027) drives near-term cash outflow but, as assets reach commercial operation (2025–2028), expected regulated returns and declining O&M put this segment on track to become a stable cash generator by 2029.
- ~1 GW solar + 500 MWh storage
- ~60% regional market share
- Population growth ~1.2% annually
- Capex USD 800–1,000M (2023–2027)
- Stable cash generation target by 2029
Renewable Energy Storage Integration
Fortis’ battery storage projects, deployed across regulated utilities in Canada and the US, balance intermittent wind and solar and now represent ~15% of new capacity additions; Fortis reported C$220m invested in non-regulated renewables and storage in 2024, positioning these assets as Stars in the BCG matrix during a high-investment growth phase.
- High market share: leading regulated storage contracts in Ontario and BC
- High growth: grid-scale storage market CAGR ~20% (2024–30)
- Capex: C$220m in 2024; multi-year pipeline >C$1bn
- Goal: secure long-term dominance of dispatch services
Fortis growth surge: $4.5–5.5bn capex to 2027 fuels leading transmission, storage, renewables
Fortis’s Stars: ITC transmission, MVP-related capex, TEP clean transition and battery/storage show high market share in fast-growth grids; combined 2024–27 capex ~US$4.5–5.5bn (ITC+MVP+TEP+storage), 2024 invested C$220m in renewables/storage, projected regulated returns from 2025–2029 with stable cash generation by 2029.
| Asset | 2024–27 Capex | 2024 Invested | Market Share | Key metric |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ITC/transmission | US$2.5–3.0bn | — | Leading | MVP enable ~30% more renewables by 2030 |
| TEP (AZ) | US$0.8–1.0bn | — | ~60% regional | ~1 GW solar +500 MWh storage |
| Storage/renewables | US$1.2–1.5bn pipeline | C$220m | Leading in ON/BC | Market CAGR ~20% (2024–30) |

Cash Cows
FortisBC Natural Gas Distribution
FortisBC Natural Gas Distribution holds ~85% household market share in British Columbia and serves ~1.1 million customers, in a low-growth market (~1% CAGR 2020–2025).
Regulated rates produce stable EBITDA margins (~45% in 2024) and predictable cash flow; capital expenditures are recovery-backed, keeping marketing spend minimal.
It generates ~C$400–450M annual free cash flow (2024), funding Fortis Inc.’s higher-growth utility investments and acquisitions.
FortisAlberta Electricity Distribution
FortisAlberta, operating in Alberta’s mature, highly regulated distribution market, holds roughly 60%+ service territory market share and delivers steady regulated returns; its network serves about 550,000 customers as of Dec 31, 2025.
Capital needs are maintenance-focused—annual sustaining capex ~CAD 120–140m in 2024–25—so free cash flow is stable and funds Fortis’s track record of 48 consecutive annual dividend increases through 2025.
Newfoundland Power Operations
Newfoundland Power, Fortis Inc.'s primary utility in Newfoundland and Labrador, is a textbook cash cow: ~95% residential market penetration and serving ~250,000 customers in a near-zero growth province.
Regulatory allowed return on equity averaged 9.5% (2019–2024), generating predictable EBITDA margins ~40% and annual dividends to Fortis of roughly CAD 150–200M in recent years.
Low customer churn and regulated rates mean minimal marketing spend; keeping infrastructure reliability (~SAIDI ~2.5 hours/year) preserves its leadership with little promotion.
Maritime Electric (PEI)
Maritime Electric (PEI) is Fortis’s captive monopoly on Prince Edward Island, serving ~78,000 customers and generating roughly CAD 150–160 million in annual revenue (2024), giving predictable cash flows for debt service and dividends.
With negligible geographic growth, management prioritizes cost efficiency, grid reliability, and modest rate-base investments to sustain ~8–10% regulated ROE and steady free cash extraction to Fortis.
- Customers: ~78,000 (2024)
- Revenue: CAD 150–160M (2024)
- Regulated ROE: ~8–10%
- Role: funds corporate debt service and supports Fortis portfolio
Caribbean Regulated Utilities
Fortis holds majority stakes in regulated utilities across the Caribbean (e.g., 90% in Caribbean Utilities Ltd. on Grand Cayman), often the primary provider, delivering stable, high-margin cash flows despite limited geographic expansion.
These mature island markets yield strong EBITDA margins (typically 25–35% reported in 2024 filings), providing roughly US$150–220m annual free cash flow to Fortis and bolstering dividend coverage and resilience to North American cyclicality.
- High market share: monopoly/primary provider on several islands
- Mature markets: limited growth but 25–35% EBITDA margins (2024)
- Cash contribution: ~US$150–220m FCF to Fortis (2024)
- Diversification: non-continental cash flows support dividend safety
Fortis’s regulated utilities: C$900–1,100M FCF in 2024 — stable dividends, steady ROE
Fortis’s cash cows are regulated utilities (FortisBC Gas, FortisAlberta, Newfoundland Power, Maritime Electric, Caribbean holdings) delivering stable cash flow: combined FCF ~C$900–1,100M (2024), regulated ROE ~8–9.5%, EBITDA margins 25–45%, customer base ~2.27M; funds dividends and higher-growth investments.
| Asset | Customers | FCF 2024 | ROE | EBITDA% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FortisBC Gas | 1.1M | C$400–450M | — | ~45% |
| FortisAlberta | 550k | C$120–140M | ~8–9% | ~40% |
| Newfoundland Power | 250k | C$150–200M | ~9.5% | ~40% |
| Maritime Electric | 78k | C$20–30M | ~8–10% | ~30% |
