Abstract

Regional transmission organizations (RTOs) in the US are being required to improve reliability and act independently of market forces by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under FERC Order 2000, and electric utilities are encouraged to join an RTO but not be allowed to dominate it. Nuclear power plants are no longer competitive and many are being sold off by utilities at a fraction of their value. Investors should choose utility stocks with good operating records, low-cost generation capacity, and strong finances.
