Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Fortis (TSX:FTS) says government of Belize expropriates ownership of utility
VANCOUVER, BC (June 23, 2011) Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Gas and electricity utility Fortis Inc. (TSX:FTS) said Wednesday June 22that the government of Belize in Central America has expropriated the Canadian company’s controlling stake in the country’s main electrical distributor.
Fortis had owned 70 per cent of Belize Electricity Ltd., which provides power to consumers and businesses in the tiny country.
The company and the government had been involved in a dispute over a 2008 planned rate increase in the country. Reports said the government took over Fortis’s stake to ensure an uninterrupted supply of electricity.
Newfoundland’s Fortis said Belize passed legislation that also dismissed the board of directors of Belize Electricity, including Fortis nominees.
The expropriated company represents less than two per cent of Fortis’ total assets of more than $13 billion.
Fortis also owns a power generation business in the country called the Belize Electric Company Ltd., a non-regulated operator of three hydroelectric power plants.
There is no expropriation order for this business, Fortis said.
The company said compensation for the expropriation is yet to be determined.
Fortis said it had made the investment in the company after an invitation by the Belize government 12 years ago.
Fortis operates utilities and generating assets across Canada. Last month, Fortis announced a deal to buy Central Vermont Public Service, an electric utility in the American state of Vermont, for US$700 million.
Fortis shares were up three cents to $32.04 in late trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
