RE:Canadian utilities suspends DRIP - eliminates 2% discountI like the approach Northland Power took. They kept the DRIP but eliminated the discount. They also stopped issuing shares from treasury and instead now buy shares in the market to satisfy the DRIP providing some support to the share price.
In their case they don't need the DRIP funds at the moment so it makes sense to stop the dilution. ALA needs the funds for debt repayment and CAPEX.
