Electric utilities in the central US are facing greater competition and higher interest rates, factors which have led to lower share prices. Lowered debt, consolidation, cost-cutting, and internal efficiencies are among the economic options for these companies. Greater risk is one disadvantage in investing in utilities through the 1990s, but several stocks offer possibilities for dividend growth by the year 2000.
