We are focused on taking the right steps and making the right investments to ensure we consistently deliver safe, reliable energy to our 3.3 million customers every day.
One measure of system reliability for electricity customers is the average duration of outages. We are proud that our utilities continue to outperform in comparison to Canadian and U.S. industry averages. In 2018, the average hours of interruption for Fortis was 2.07, a strong statistic in comparison to the industry average of 3.6 hours.
Our five-year capital plan includes funds allocated to replace aging equipment, deploy modern technology, and upgrade and expand our system to ensure we continue to deliver safe, reliable energy to all our customers.
