What changed
Fortis announced a $32.2 billion five-year capital plan, $3.4 billion above its prior plan, with 75% allocated to regulated transmission and distribution. The board declared a 4% dividend increase and extended its 4%–6% annual dividend-growth guidance through 2031. This expands the investment horizon and dividend-growth period described in the supplied prior-quarter analysis.
Guidance delta
