Company profile

Fortis company profile

It was in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador that Fortis Inc. ("Fortis" or the "Corporation") had its beginnings with the formation of the St. John's Electric Company in 1885. That was only a few years after Thomas Edison introduced the first commercial use of electricity for lighting. The St. John's Electric Company would eventually evolve into Newfoundland Power Inc. ("Newfoundland Power"), the first wholly owned subsidiary of Fortis. The Corporation was established as the parent company of Newfoundland Power on December 29, 1987.
