Natural gas (distribution)
Article Abstract:
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has encouraged competition among gas companies since the 1980s with the aim of increasing supplies at low cost. Deregulation has led local distribution companies to form business alliances and seek mergers, and are assuming the role of sellers of natural gas as a commodity. The primary appeal of stocks in the gas distribution industry is income, and few have any price appreciation role for investors.
