Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segmented Information SEGMENTED INFORMATION
General
Fortis segments its business based on regulatory jurisdiction and service territory, as well as the information used by its CEO in deciding how to allocate resources. Segment performance is evaluated principally on net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders.

With the disposition of Aitken Creek in 2023 (Note 21), the Corporation's non-regulated business is now reported in the Corporate and Other segment. Comparative figures were reclassified to conform with the revised presentation.

Related-Party and Inter-Company Transactions
Related-party transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the amount of consideration agreed to by the related parties. There were no material related-party transactions in 2023 or 2022.

The lease of gas storage capacity and gas sales from Aitken Creek to FortisBC Energy of $25 million in 2023 (2022 - $37 million) are inter-company transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities, which were not eliminated on consolidation.
Fortis periodically provides short-term financing to subsidiaries to support capital expenditures and seasonal working capital requirements, the impacts of which are eliminated on consolidation. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no inter-segment loans outstanding. Interest charged on inter-segment loans was not material in 2023 and 2022
