Issuer Ranking: North American Electric, Gas, And Water Regulated Utilities, Strongest To Weakest

The following list ranks North American regulated utility companies by the rating, outlook, and business and financial risk profile assessment. S&P Global Ratings ranks investment-grade companies (rated 'BBB-' or higher) with the same rating and outlook first by the business risk profile, then the financial risk profile. Speculative-grade companies (rated 'BB+' or lower) with the same rating and outlook are ordered by financial risk profile, then by business risk profile. If not distinguished by these factors, companies are listed in alphabetical order. The ratings and scores in this report are as of Sept. 9, 2024.
