The total operating expense of $45.5 million incurred to run the operations of all the utilities is a five per cent increase over 2017. This change is mainly due to increased expenditures at the expanded Point Pleasant Water Treatment Facility and other maintenance expenses in the gas and electric utility.

Revenue of $92.5 million is an increase of six per cent over the 2017 balance of $87.3 million.

We also managed capital investments of $61.3 million in 2018, most of which related to replacing aging infrastructure.

In addition, Utilities Kingston is responsible for managing the purchase and transmission of gas and electric energy for our customers. Neither Utilities Kingston nor our primary customers make any profit from the provision of this service.

In total, these purchases represented $96.9 million for 2018, a slight increase from the 2017 value of $96.4 million.
