		<description><![CDATA[U.S.electric utility segment includes electric, natural gas pipeline and distributors, water, and independent power producers. The segment was among the most stable sectors in fiscal 2011 in terms of return. Fiscal 2011 witnessed continued volatility from the European debt crisis leading the U.S. Federal Reserve to reduce its growth forecast, raising projections for unemployment and leaning on buying more mortgage debt to tide over a troubled economy. The year has been hard on investors with major indexes registering low performances. The European debt crisis that plagued the markets last year will continue to worry investors in the coming period. In such a scenario we are hopeful about dividend paying utilities acting as a proxy to the asset classes of treasury bonds and gold. Utilities’ usefulness in an investor’s portfolio in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dominion Resources Inc. (D) said its unit Dominion Virginia Power has installed a new pollution control equipment in its Chesterfield Power Station in Richmond with a view to reduce emission from this power generation plant. The new pollution control equipment popularly called the &#8216;scrubber&#8217; will absorb 95% of sulfur dioxide and also reduce 80% emission of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids from the 344 Megawatt (MW) Unit 5 of the station for which it has been commissioned. The new scrubber will act jointly with another scrubber which was installed in 2008 for 693 MW Unit 6 of the station. Dominion keeping in mind the growing concerns of environmental pollution has decided to attach the new scrubber with two other coal-fired units at the station, 110 MW Unit 3 and 181MW Unit ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[International and domestic affairs combined to add strength to the markets at the fag-end of the earnings season. Benchmarks enjoyed their stay in the green for the third consecutive trading day, driven by strong gains in utilities, Microsoft’s plans to buy Skype, domestic economic data and China’s trade surplus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.4% to settle at 12,730.62. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 climbed up 0.4% to end at 1,352.16, while the Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.5% to finish the day at 2,856.18. On the New York Stock Exchange, Amex and Nasdaq consolidated volumes amounted to 6.6 billion shares and were below the average of 7.73 billion recorded until now in 2011.

		<description><![CDATA[Diversified utility NiSource Inc. (NI) posted first quarter 2011 net operating earnings of 72 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate as well as year-ago results. Net operating earnings totaled $202.3 million, up 2% year over year. On a GAAP basis, net income was $204.8 million or 73 cents per share, higher from $197.4 million or 71 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Operational Update Gross revenue in the quarter under review improved 4.3% year over year to $2.14 billion driven by higher revenues at Gas Distribution and Electric, partially offset by lower revenues at Gas Transportation and Storage. Revenue, however, missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $ 2.39 billion. During the quarter the weather adjusted electric sales volume increased by 8% to 4,317.2 Gigawatt hours ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our recommendation for NiSource (NI) to Outperform, as we believe the recent equity issue removes a key apprehension on the stock. The issue makes way for the company to reach its $1 billion investment target while comfortably meeting its long-term 3%-5% EPS growth target. NiSource&#8217;s strategy of divesting its non-core businesses and transforming into a pure-play regulated company bodes well in our view. The company has improved its balance sheet and maintained its investment grade credit ratings in the past year. We believe income-seeking investors will find the company&#8217;s current dividend yield of 5.4% attractive. Our target price of $20.00 is based on the 2011 P/E multiple of 15.5x.

Earnings for full year 2009 declined 16% year over year to $1.07 compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.06 and year-ago earnings of $1.28. The company’s 2009 earnings were solidly in line with its guidance range of $1.00 to $1.10 per share announced early last year. The results reflect increased net revenues in NiSource’s Gas Distribution and Gas Transmission &#38; Storage businesses, as well as the effects of open market debt repurchases and lower short-term interest rates. According to segments, earnings at the company’s Gas Distribution segment declined 15% in the fourth quarter, while it improved 0.3% for fiscal ]]></description>
