“During the third quarter, our utilities delivered earnings growth and executed capital investments in line with expectations,” said David Hutchens, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fortis (FTS). “Today we are pleased to unveil our largest five-year capital plan of $28.8 billion, an increase of $2.8 billion over our prior plan. The increase is driven by higher transmission investments at ITC, as well as customer growth and reliability investments across our utilities. We remain focused on low-risk, regulated utility growth, and our recent decisions to sell assets further support our funding plan and strengthen the balance sheet. Our highly executable capital plan extends our robust rate base growth and supports annual dividend growth of 4-6% through 2030 for shareholders.”
