Electric utility (central) industry

Article Abstract:

The electric utility industry is expected to be one of the worst performers over the next 6 to 12 months. In an effort to create more competition in the electric utility industry, some states have signed retail restructuring plans into law. Regulators and legislators alike want to break down monopolies, maintain system reliability, decrease pollution and bring rate relief to residential customers. Among central-US utility companies, CIPSCO Inc. is a favored investment, due to its dividend growth prospects, large customer base and modest debt burden.

Electric utility (central) industry

Article Abstract:

Electric utilities in the central US are facing greater competition and higher interest rates, factors which have led to lower share prices. Lowered debt, consolidation, cost-cutting, and internal efficiencies are among the economic options for these companies. Greater risk is one disadvantage in investing in utilities through the 1990s, but several stocks offer possibilities for dividend growth by the year 2000.
