What happened
A review of high-yield regulated utilities included Alabama Power, Edison International, and Georgia Power. Edison International's 5.98% yield is attributed to a 23% stock drop related to wildfire liability, while its quarterly dividend remained stable. Georgia Power has secured 7.8 GW of signed data center agreements, which supports a history of consecutive annual dividend increases, according to Duke CFO.

Why it matters
Regulated electric utilities are noted for providing stable dividend income, as payments are made regardless of quarterly stock performance. The demand from data centers, such as those supported by Georgia Power, is cited as a factor supporting dividend increases and operational growth.
