Why Invest

We have increased our common share dividend every year for the past 52 years, the longest record of annual dividend increases of any Canadian publicly traded company. We aim to grow dividends in-line with our sustainable earnings growth, which is linked to growth from our regulated and long-term contracted investments.

Growing a High Quality Earnings Base

Our highly contracted and regulated earnings base provides the foundation for continued dividend growth. Over the years our continued investment in the Utilities has grown our global rate base to $15.4 billion.

Regulated Utilities Future Capital Investment

In the 2024 to 2026 period, Canadian Utilities expects to invest $4.6 to $5 billion in our Regulated Utilities. This capital investment is expected to contribute significant earnings and cash flows and create long-term value for shareowners. These investments, which include our recently announced Yellowhead Mainline project, will serve the evolving needs of our customers and support population and business growth, system reliability and safety, climate resiliency and adaptation, decarbonization, and technology to further improve operating efficiencies.

Financial Strength

Financial strength is fundamental to our current and future success. It ensures we have the financial capacity to fund our existing and future capital investments. We are committed to maintaining our strong, investment-grade credit ratings, which will allow us to access capital at attractive rates.

Our Core Values

Innovation, growth and financial strength provide the foundation from which we have built our Company. Our long-term success depends on our ability to continue offering our customers premier, comprehensive and integrated solutions to meet their needs and expand into new markets.
