Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Nature of Operations Fortis Inc. ("Fortis" or the "Corporation") is a well-diversified North American regulated electric and gas utility holding company. Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of annual results due to the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing and the timing and recognition of regulatory decisions. Earnings of the gas utilities tend to be highest in the first and fourth quarters due to space-heating requirements. Earnings of the electric distribution utilities in the United States tend to be highest in the second and third quarters due to the use of air conditioning and other cooling equipment. Entities within the reporting segments that follow operate with substantial autonomy. Regulated Utilities ITC: ITC Investment Holdings Inc., ITC Holdings Corp. and the electric transmission operations of its regulated operating subsidiaries, which include International Transmission Company, Michigan Electric Transmission Company, LLC, ITC Midwest LLC and ITC Great Plains, LLC. Fortis owns 80.1% of ITC and an affiliate of GIC Private Limited owns a 19.9% minority interest. UNS Energy: UNS Energy Corporation, which primarily includes Tucson Electric Power Company, UNS Electric, Inc. and UNS Gas, Inc. Central Hudson: CH Energy Group, Inc,. which primarily includes Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation. FortisBC Energy: FortisBC Energy Inc. FortisAlberta: FortisAlberta Inc. FortisBC Electric: FortisBC Inc. Other Electric: Eastern Canadian and Caribbean utilities, as follows: Newfoundland Power Inc.; Maritime Electric Company, Limited; FortisOntario Inc.; a 39% equity investment in Wataynikaneyap Power Limited Partnership; an approximate 60% controlling interest in Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. ("Caribbean Utilities"); FortisTCI Limited and Turks and Caicos Utilities Limited (collectively "FortisTCI"); and a 33% equity investment in Belize Electricity Limited ("Belize Electricity"). Non-Regulated Energy Infrastructure: Long-term contracted generation assets in Belize and the Aitken Creek natural gas storage facility ("Aitken Creek") in British Columbia.

Regulatory Developments

Regulated Operations [Abstract] | |
Regulatory Developments | REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS Regulation of the Corporation's utilities is generally consistent with that disclosed in Note 2 of the Corporation's annual audited consolidated financial statements ("2020 Annual Financial Statements"). A summary of significant regulatory developments year-to-date 2021 follows. ITC Transmission Incentives: In April 2021, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking ("NOPR") on transmission incentives modifying the proposal in the initial NOPR released in March 2020. The supplemental NOPR proposes to eliminate the 50-basis point regional transmission organization ("RTO") return on common equity ("ROE") incentive adder for existing RTO members that have been members longer than three years, like ITC. In June 2021, ITC filed its comments on the supplemental NOPR supporting the continuation of the ROE incentive adder for RTO members. The timeline for FERC to issue a final rule in this proceeding as well as the likely outcome and potential impacts to Fortis cannot be determined at this time. Central Hudson General Rate Application: In August 2020, Central Hudson filed a rate application with the New York State Public Service Commission ("PSC") requesting an increase in electric and natural gas delivery revenue of $44 million and $19 million, respectively, effective July 1, 2021. In January 2021, Central Hudson filed a notice of impending settlement negotiations and negotiations began in February 2021. An order from the PSC is expected in 2021. COVID-19 Proceeding: The generic proceeding initiated by the PSC in June 2020 to identify and address the financial effects of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and any associated cost recovery is ongoing. The potential impacts of this proceeding are unknown at this time. FortisBC Energy and FortisBC Electric Generic Cost of Capital ("GCOC") Proceeding: In January 2021, the British Columbia Utilities Commission announced the initiation of a GCOC proceeding including a review of the common equity component of capital structure and the allowed ROE. The scope and timeline of the proceeding continues to evolve and the effective date of any change in the cost of capital is unknown at this time. FortisAlberta GCOC Proceeding: In March 2021, the Alberta Utilities Commission ("AUC") concluded the 2022 GCOC proceeding and extended the existing allowed ROE of 8.5% using a 37% equity component of capital structure through 2022. The Office of the Utilities Consumer Advocate ("UCA") has filed an application seeking permission to appeal the decision to the Alberta Court of Appeal. The Office of the UCA also filed an application with the AUC in April 2021 and a decision on whether the AUC will review, and potentially vary, its 2022 GCOC decision is expected in the third quarter of 2021. 2023 Generic Cost of Service ("COS") Application: The final year of FortisAlberta's second PBR term is 2022. In June 2021, the AUC issued a decision confirming the approach to be adopted by Alberta distribution utilities for the COS rebasing year in 2023. FortisAlberta is required to file its 2023 COS application in the fourth quarter of 2021. Third Performance-Based Rate-Setting ("PBR") Term : In July 2021, the AUC issued a decision confirming that Alberta distribution utilities will be subject to a third PBR term commencing in 2024 with going-in rates based on the 2023 COS rebasing. The AUC also initiated a new proceeding to consider the design of the third PBR term. FortisAlberta will submit comments with respect to the design of the third PBR term in 2022 and a decision from the AUC is expected in 2023. Independent System Operator Tariff Proceeding: In April 2021, the AUC issued a decision confirming that distribution facility owners, such as FortisAlberta, will no longer be permitted to earn a return on contributions made to the Alberta Electric System Operator on a prospective basis from the date of the decision. Contributions made prior to that date are not impacted. This decision is not expected to have a material financial impact on the Corporation. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting Policies | ACCOUNTING POLICIES These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for rate-regulated entities and are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and reflect the equity method of accounting for entities in which Fortis has significant influence, but not control, and proportionate consolidation for assets that are jointly owned with non-affiliated entities. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated, except for transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities in accordance with US GAAP for rate-regulated entities. These Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2020 Annual Financial Statements. In management's opinion, these Interim Financial Statements include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for fair presentation. The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments, including those related to regulatory decisions, that affect the reported amounts of, and disclosures related to, assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. The accounting policies applied herein are consistent with those outlined in the Corporation's 2020 Annual Financial Statements. Future Accounting Pronouncements The Corporation considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Any ASUs not included in these Interim Financial Statements were assessed and determined to be either not applicable to the Corporation or are not expected to have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segmented Information | SEGMENTED INFORMATION Fortis segments its business based on regulatory jurisdiction and service territory, as well as the information used by its President and Chief Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources. Segment performance is evaluated principally on net earnings attributable to common equity shareholders. 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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The lease of gas storage capacity and gas sales from Aitken Creek to FortisBC Energy of $7 million and $15 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 - $5 million and $12 million, respectively) are inter-company transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities, which were not eliminated on consolidation. As at June 30, 2021, accounts receivable included approximately $30 million due from Belize Electricity (December 31, 2020 - $28 million). Fortis periodically provides short-term financing, the impacts of which are eliminated on consolidation, to subsidiaries to support capital expenditures, acquisitions and seasonal working capital requirements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risk Management | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT Derivatives The Corporation generally limits the use of derivatives to those that qualify as accounting, economic or cash flow hedges, or those that are approved for regulatory recovery. The Corporation records all derivatives at fair value, with certain exceptions including those derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale exception. Fair values reflect estimates based on current market information about the derivatives as at the balance sheet dates. The estimates cannot be determined with precision as they involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, may not be relevant in predicting the Corporation's future consolidated earnings or cash flow. 13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd) Cash flow associated with the settlement of all derivatives is included in operating activities on the condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows. Energy Contracts Subject to Regulatory Deferral UNS Energy holds electricity power purchase contracts, customer supply contracts and gas swap contracts to reduce its exposure to energy price risk. Fair values are measured primarily under the market approach using independent third-party information, where possible. When published prices are not available, adjustments are applied based on historical price curve relationships, transmission costs and line losses. Central Hudson holds swap contracts for electricity and natural gas to minimize price volatility by fixing the effective purchase price. Fair values are measured using forward pricing provided by independent third-party information. FortisBC Energy holds gas supply contracts to fix the effective purchase price of natural gas. Fair values reflect the present value of future cash flows based on published market prices and forward natural gas curves. Unrealized gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of these energy contracts are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability for recovery from, or refund to, customers in future rates, as permitted by the regulators. As at June 30, 2021, unrealized losses of $75 million (December 31, 2020 - $73 million) were recognized as regulatory assets and unrealized gains of $55 million (December 31, 2020 - $17 million) were recognized as regulatory liabilities. E nergy Contracts Not Subject to Regulatory Deferral UNS Energy holds wholesale trading contracts to fix power prices and realize potential margin, of which 10% of any realized gains is shared with customers through rate stabilization accounts. Fair values are measured using a market approach incorporating, where possible, independent third-party information. Aitken Creek holds gas swap contracts to manage its exposure to changes in natural gas prices, capture natural gas price spreads, and manage the financial risk posed by physical transactions. Fair values are measured using forward pricing from published market sources. Unrealized gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of these energy contracts are recognized in revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, unrealized losses of $8 million and $13 million, respectively, were recognized in revenue (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 - unrealized gains of $7 million and $4 million, respectively). Total Return Swaps The Corporation holds total return swaps to manage the cash flow risk associated with forecast future cash settlements of certain stock-based compensation obligations. The swaps have a combined notional amount of $112 million and terms of one Foreign Exchange Contracts The Corporation holds US dollar denominated foreign exchange contracts to help mitigate exposure to foreign exchange rate volatility. The contracts expire at varying dates through February 2022 and have a combined notional amount of $170 million. Fair value was measured using independent third-party information. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, unrealized losses of $4 million and $2 million, respectively were recognized in other income, net (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 - unrealized gains of $11 million and $2 million, respectively). 13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd) Other Investments ITC, UNS Energy and Central Hudson hold investments in trust associated with supplemental retirement benefit plans for select employees. These investments include mutual funds and money market accounts, which are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, unrealized gains of $4 million and $6 million, respectively were recognized in other income, net (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 - unrealized gains of $9 million and unrealized losses of $2 million, respectively). Recurring Fair Value Measures The following table presents assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

Classifications reflect the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. (2) Represents amounts held in money market funds, which approximates fair market value and is included in cash and cash equivalents. (3) Included in accounts receivable and other current assets or other assets (4) Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of these contracts are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability for recovery from, or refund to, customers in future rates as permitted by the regulators, with the exception of long-term wholesale trading contracts and certain gas swap contracts. (5) Included in other assets (6) Included in accounts payable and other current liabilities or other liabilities 13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd) Energy Contracts The Corporation has elected gross presentation for its derivative contracts under master netting agreements and collateral positions, which apply only to its energy contracts. The following table presents the potential offset of counterparty netting.

The volumes related to electricity and natural gas derivatives are outlined below. As at June 30, December 31, 2021 2020 Energy contracts subject to regulatory deferral (1) Electricity swap contracts (GWh) 246 522 Electricity power purchase contracts (GWh) 1,673 2,781 Gas swap contracts (PJ) 171 156 Gas supply contract premiums (PJ) 167 203 Energy contracts not subject to regulatory deferral (1) Wholesale trading contracts (GWh) 883 1,588 Gas swap contracts (PJ) 16 36 (1) GWh means gigawatt hours and PJ means petajoules. Credit Risk For cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other current assets, and long-term other receivables, credit risk is generally limited to the carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation's subsidiaries generally have a large and diversified customer base, which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. Policies in place to minimize credit risk include requiring customer deposits, prepayments and/or credit checks for certain customers, performing disconnections and/or using third-party collection agencies for overdue accounts. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of the Corporation's utilities temporarily suspended non-payment disconnects. While the Corporation has seen an increase in accounts receivable and, accordingly, its allowance for credit losses since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, there has been no material change in credit loss expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (Note 5). ITC has a concentration of credit risk as approximately 70% of its revenue is derived from three customers. The customers have investment-grade credit ratings and credit risk is further managed by MISO by requiring a letter of credit or cash deposit equal to the credit exposure, which is determined by a credit-scoring model and other factors. 13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd) FortisAlberta has a concentration of credit risk as distribution service billings are to a relatively small group of retailers. Credit risk is managed by obtaining from the retailers either a cash deposit, letter of credit, an investment-grade credit rating, or a financial guarantee from an entity with an investment-grade credit rating. UNS Energy, Central Hudson, FortisBC Energy, Aitken Creek and the Corporation may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivatives. Credit risk is managed by net settling payments, when possible, and dealing only with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings. At UNS Energy and Central Hudson, certain contractual arrangements require counterparties to post collateral. The value of derivatives in net liability positions under contracts with credit risk-related contingent features that, if triggered, could require the posting of a like amount of collateral was $94 million as at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $88 million). Hedge of Foreign Net Investments The reporting currency of ITC, UNS Energy, Central Hudson, Caribbean Utilities, FortisTCI, Belize Electric Company Limited and Belize Electricity is, or is pegged to, the US dollar. The earnings and cash flow from, and net investments in, these entities are exposed to fluctuations in the US dollar-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate. The Corporation has limited this exposure through hedging. As at June 30, 2021, US$2.1 billion (December 31, 2020 - US$2.3 billion) of corporately issued US dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as an effective hedge of net investments, leaving approximately US$10.6 billion (December 31, 2020 - US$10.2 billion) unhedged. Exchange rate fluctuations associated with the hedged net investment in foreign subsidiaries and the debt serving as the hedge are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value Excluding long-term debt, the consolidated carrying value of the Corporation's remaining financial instruments approximates fair value, reflecting their short-term maturity, normal trade credit terms and/or nature. As at June 30, 2021, the carrying value of long-term debt, including current portion, was $24.8 billion (December 31, 2020 - $24.5 billion) compared to an estimated fair value of $28.1 billion (December 31, 2020 - $29.1 billion). |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments There were no material changes in commitments from that disclosed in the Corporation's 2020 Annual Financial Statements. Contingencies In April 2013, FortisBC Holdings Inc. and Fortis were named as defendants in an action in the British Columbia Supreme Court by the Coldwater Indian Band ("Band") regarding interests in a pipeline right-of-way on reserve lands. The pipeline was transferred by FHI (then Terasen Inc.) to Kinder Morgan Inc. in April 2007. The Band seeks cancellation of the right-of-way and damages for wrongful interference with the Band's use and enjoyment of reserve lands. In May 2016, the Federal Court dismissed the Band's application for judicial review of the ministerial consent. In September 2017, the Federal Court of Appeal set aside the minister's consent and returned the matter to the minister for redetermination. No amount has been accrued in the Interim Financial Statements as the outcome cannot yet be reasonably determined. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for rate-regulated entities and are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. |
Consolidation | The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and reflect the equity method of accounting for entities in which Fortis has significant influence, but not control, and proportionate consolidation for assets that are jointly owned with non-affiliated entities. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated, except for transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities in accordance with US GAAP for rate-regulated entities. |
Use of Accounting Estimates | The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments, including those related to regulatory decisions, that affect the reported amounts of, and disclosures related to, assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. |
Future Accounting Pronouncements | Future Accounting Pronouncements The Corporation considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Any ASUs not included in these Interim Financial Statements were assessed and determined to be either not applicable to the Corporation or are not expected to have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements. |
