Utility stocks have been relatively volatile in the recent past. However, most utility stocks have a low beta and have a stable cash flow visibility. Utility stocks should therefore be a part of the core portfolio as they reduce the portfolio risk. Mark D.

He discussed utility stocks in an e-mail to InvestorPlace.
And as we move forward, the question of sustainable energy is becoming more and more of a topic among utilities. There’s a greater interest in renewable energy, such as wind and solar power.

But with this overview in mind, let’s take a look at four utility stocks worth considering: American Water Works (NYSE:AWK), NRG Energy (NYSE:NRG), Algonquin Power & Utilities (NYSE:AQN) and Dominion Energy (NYSE:D).
