ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – Fortis Inc. reported a fourth-quarter profit of $396 million, up from $381 million a year ago.

The electric and gas utility says the profit amounted to 79 cents per share for the quarter ended Dec. 31, up from 78 cents per share a year earlier.

Fortis says the increase was due to rate base growth as well as new customer rates at its Central Hudson operations in New York effective July 1, 2024.
