S&P rates Alectra A

S&P said it assigned an A long-term corporate credit rating to Alectra Inc.

The outlook is stable.

On Dec. 8, the Ontario Energy Board approved the amalgamation of Enersource Holdings., Horizon Holdings Inc., PowerStream Holdings Inc. and Hydro One Brampton Networks Inc., S&P explained.

The agency said it expects the purchase and subsequent amalgamation of Hydro One Brampton will be complete by Feb. 28, 2017.

S&P said it expects the company to achieve C$250 million to C$300 million of net operating efficiencies, primarily by eliminating redundant positions, purchasing power discounts for inventory and reducing third-party costs.

Despite not going back to the regulator for a decade, the agency said it believes the company will be able to earn its allowed return on equity through cost savings.
