About Us

We have invested more than $5 billion in Alberta’s electricity distribution grid over the past two decades, creating jobs, sustainable growth and a more reliable system. 

Over the past ten years, we’ve invested more than one third of our capital program in climate change and wildfire mitigation initiatives to ensure we are prepared for the extreme weather events the Alberta climate throws at us. 

We avoid 500,000 hours of outages every year by keeping your power on while we work on the lines. 

With fewer than 1.3 outage hours per customer annually, we rank top-of-class among Canadian utilities that serve both urban and rural customers, as recognized by Electricity Canada. 

From our centralized control centre in Airdrie, system operators monitor our electricity distribution grid 24/7 so we can respond to outages and restore power quickly. 

Technology installed on our system allows us to restore power, in some cases, within seconds. On average, our 2024 automated restoration time was 104 seconds.  

We are investing in early fault detection technology, which helps us avoid outages and manage wildfire risk. This technology is monitoring more than 4,200 kilometres of power line in high-risk fire areas throughout our service territory

We are a partner of choice for a sustainable energy future as we explore opportunities for micro-grids, batteries and energy efficiency options to better serve our customers. Learn more about our sustainability program. 

We are optimizing our system to support the evolving needs of our customers in a cost-efficient way. We do this by working with Albertans across the province who support FortisAlberta’s goal of a highly advanced, interconnected grid.
