Thanks Gregor. Found this "But system damage expenses are covered by insurance or storm reserves as a normal cost of doing business. As a result, the vast majority of storms cause no lasting impact on utility company earnings. Rather, the main risk for investors is how well individual utilities manage the restoration." ( National Grid comes to mind in MA) [ wonder if utilities tweek these storm reserve numbers similar to the banks tweeking loan loss reserves to make their numbers?] investingdaily.com (37 degrees here this morning, freeze warnings on the way)
