The Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF has gained about 10% in 2026, outperforming the S&P 500, which is down roughly 2%. The sector benefits not only from stable dividends but also from rising electricity demand linked to AI data centers, with power demand expected to grow 2%–3% annually. Among utilities combining dividend yields above 3% with solid earnings growth prospects are Public Service Enterprise Group, FirstEnergy, American Electric Power, and Consolidated Edison, which analysts expect could deliver total returns near or above 10% in 2026. $PEG $FE $AEP $ED

$AEP American Electric Power’s Ohio utility, for example, saw its large load pipeline drop from 30 gigawatts to 13 gigawatts after it instituted a large load tariff last year. In that sense, ​“not only do strong tariffs help protect customers, they also help the utility in forecasting what’s coming,” Eberle said. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/data-centers/how-states-are-trying-keep-ai-off?amp%3Butm_medium=email&amp%3Butm_campaign=canary&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9BbT28BT8dYBoAvKouRkpndFTC7h6VHY_v-51D5yBoB7mJ9tjE5q0BXHkUKwzNkuiiR5wnrgBxMEOpT2WN6UNHpoeBgg&_hsmi=406899228&utm_source=newsletter
