StockCall.com Provides Stock Research on Southern Co., Calpine Corp., Edison International, and TECO Energy Inc.
New York City, New York -- (May 09, 2013)
Utilities are expected to see a sharp rise in capital spending over the next few years as they upgrade their existing infrastructures. There is also growing pressure to meet environmental regulations. However, for electric utilities, a sharp decline in natural gas prices has been beneficial. Lower natural gas prices have allowed several electric utilities to switch from coal to natural gas to generate power. This will help them in meeting environmental regulations as natural gas is cleaner than coal. Utilities edged lower on Wednesday even as the broad market rose to record high levels. Among the major movers were The Southern Company (NYSE: SO), Calpine Corporation (NYSE: CPN), Edison International (NYSE: EIX), and TECO Energy Inc. (NYSE: TE).
