Electric utility (central) industry

Article Abstract:

Lower earnings, rate reductions, and competition are some of the reasons that electric utilities have changed their dividend payment plans since 1995. Utilities are seeking other methods of increasing returns, including investing in non-utility business. Investors must make judgements on the industry on an individual basis.

Electric utility (central) industry

Article Abstract:

Disagreements in the electric utility industry, inaction in many of the state legislatures, and low rates are some of the factors that have slowed the move to deregulation and competition among utilities in the central region of the US. Utilities in the region have also taken action to become Year 2000 compliant, or are in compliance already, so their computer programs will recognize the year 2000 when needed. Investors should seek only those stocks in this industry that have a good operating record, low costs, and are financially strong.
