Statistical review
Article Abstract:
Survey data on 50 investor-managed electric utilities, which is compared to a survey of 100 public companies in the US, revealed that certain trends prevalent in utility boards track those of other public firms. The survey, undertaken by Spencer Stuart, further showed that 24% of utility boards decreased in terms of size, as the ratio of outside to inside directors continue to increase at an accelerating rate. A total of 48 utility boards have been determined to pay meeting attendance fees while 98% of utility boards have been reported to pay committee fees.

Nugs: slowed capacity, increased generation
Article Abstract:
Statistics on nonutility generator capacity are presented. These were prepared and published by the Edison Electric Institute. Deviating from the annual rate increases of 15% or more up to the year 1992, the increase from 1992-1993 was only 5%. This decelerating rate was biggest in the chemical industry where aggregate generation fell by 13%. The largest increases were in the electric, gas and water utilities sectors.

Second quarter sales up
Article Abstract:
Investor-owned electric utilities have posted sales increase in the 2nd qtr 1994 of 18.7 million megawatt-hours representing an increase of 3.7% over that for the same period the previous year. This situation has been brought about by a sustained economic growth, decreasing electricity rates and the atypically warm climate. Commercial and industrial consumers accounted for most of the sales figures.
