More From Charles Fishman

The natural gas explosion at wholly owned Columbia Gas of Massachusetts will likely result in further acceleration of NiSource's safety program to replace bare steel and cast iron pipe.

Three undervalued utilities are positioned to benefit from the shift to natural gas and renewables.

We have a high level of confidence that FirstEnergy can separate itself from FES in 2018, and shares are trading at a near-25% discount to our fair value estimate.

The narrow-moat, soon-to-be-regulated utility is being overly penalized in the market due to the pending FES bankruptcy.

The utility provides returns that are well above its cost of capital.
