LONDON, April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Electric utilities are adapting to new environmental regulations. Several companies in the utilities sector are also boosting their capital spending to improve their existing infrastructure. However, a sharp drop in natural gas prices is benefiting the industry. A number of utilities have shifted from coal to natural gas to generate power after natural gas prices hit record low levels last year. Overall the outlook for U.S.-based utilities such as CMS Energy Corporation (NYSE: CMS), NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE: NEE), Consolidated Edison Inc. (NYSE: ED), and FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL), as well as for foreign utilities such as Companhia Energetica Minas Gerais (NYSE: CIG) has improved significantly since the start of this year. Utilities ended on a mixed note on Friday even as the broad market slipped.
