The company that provides power to much of the West Kootenay-Boundary saw its earnings hold steady in the third quarter.
According to its quarterly financial report out today, FortisBC netted $15 million between July and September, which was unchanged from the same period of last year. That was despite the fact that electricity sales actually declined due to lower average consumption.
Year-to-date, net earnings sit at $61 million, up from $57 million at this point in 2025.
On the gas side, FortisBC reported third-quarter net earnings of $6 million. The company broke even in the third quarter of 2025. So far this year, net earnings from gas sales have come to $226 million, up from $202 million a year earlier.
It all contributed to parent company Fortis Inc.’s third quarter net earnings of $474 million, up from $409 million last year. So far this year, Fortis Inc.’s net earnings sit at $1.37 billion, up from $1.29 billion in the first nine months of 2025.
FortisBC also serves the Okanagan and Similkameen.
