Earlier today, one of those Fools, TMFmd19, succinctly summed up the Dominion bull case for our community:
When you add it all up, the generation growth, the midstream opportunities and the financial profile it's easy to see that Dominion has a lot to offer income seeking investors. There's also more potential upside in the future from Cove Point and even an eventual sale or MLP IPO of some of its midstream assets, especially in the Utica. That's why I think Dominion just might be the best positioned utility to generate market beating returns over the next few years.
As the nation moves increasingly toward clean energy, Exelon is perfectly positioned to capitalize on having the largest nuclear fleet in North America. Combine this strength with an increased focus on renewable energy, and Exelon's recent merger with Constellation places Exelon and its clean portfolio on a short list of top utilities.
