The regulated utility industry is going through a number of transitions at this time. While everyone knows about the regulatory restructuring that is taking place and the cost reduction changes utilities have undergone, many are unaware of the increased emphasis on revenue production that leading edge utilities are undertaking. As the traditional vertically integrated, fully bundled cost utility disappears, revenue generation from unbundled, ancillary, and new sources will be the key to success. The ventures or products a utility selects, the timing and type of cash flow, and the ability to become market leaders are elements of increased revenue production that must be answered before any utility makes major commitments of capital and other resources.
