		<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>

Wisconsin Energy posted better-than-expected first quarter results helped by additional income from its Power the Future plan and colder winter temperatures that drove strong customer demand for natural gas. Total Revenue Wisconsin Energy&#8217;s total revenue of $1.33 billion in first-quarter 2011 showed a growth 6.4% from $1.07 billion in the year-ago comparable period. Quarterly revenue, however, fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.37 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[DTE Energy Co. (DTE) announced its first-quarter 2011 operating earnings of $1.11 per share, which fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a dime. Earnings in the quarter were also lower than $1.38 per share reported in the year-ago period. The year-over-year decline in operating earnings during the first quarter of 2011 was due to lackluster results at Energy Trading, Power and Industrial Projects, and Corporate and Other. GAAP earnings in the quarter were $1.04 per share versus $1.38 per share in the first quarter of 2010. The 7 cent difference between GAAP and operating earnings was due to a one-time adjustment at its Electric Utility segment. Total Revenue Total revenue at DTE Energy at the end of the first quarter was $2,431.0 million versus $2,453.0 million in the ]]></description>

Early next year, the utility will apply to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin for necessary permits. The project will cost around $250 million and is expected to be completed by first half of 2013. The proposed power plant to be fueled by wood, waste wood and sawdust will expand the renewable energy portfolio of We Energies. Presently, the utility has two other projects in the pipeline – a 145 MW Blue Sky Green Field Wind Energy Center in Fond du Lac County and a 162 MW Glacier Hills Wind Park in Columbia County.
