I'm not likely to go for CEG.I was just listing some of the utilities mentioned on the thread recently that I am going to research. I added MDU to the candidate list. I took some time earlier this morning to look up the yields and the number of years of dividend increases. I also decided I'd better look at the Aristocrats, Champions and Achievers. I wasn't able to find a list of Achievers with the sector listed so I may have missed a few of those. At the moment, I only own ED. TEG, VVC and PPL look interesting at first glance. SCG - 4.70%, 9 yrs. EXC - 5.00%, 3 yrs. CEG - 3.10%, 0 yrs. CNP - 5.10%, 4 yrs. PGN - 5.70%, 10 yrs. Achiever(was, but now flat) SO - 4.90%, 8 yrs. D - 4.20%, 6 yrs. NST - 4.20%, 10 yrs. Achiever MDU - 3.20%, 19 yrs. Achiever DUK - 5.70%, 2 yrs. Aristocrats ED - 4.90%, 35 yrs. STR - 3.30%, 30 yrs. TEG - 5.50%, 51 yrs. Champions BKH - 4.60%, 38 yrs. EGN - 1.10%, 27 yrs. MGEE - 4.00%, 34 yrs. NFG - 3.10%, 38 yrs. NWN - 3.60%, 54 yrs. PNY - 4.00%, 30 yrs. VVC - 5.60%, 34 yrs. WGL - 4.30%, 33 yrs. Other Achievers NU - 3.50%, 10 yrs. PPL - 5.10%, 10 yrs.
