When a blackout happens, modern life comes to a standstill. Almost everything stops because so many things rely on electricity today. For years utilities were looked at as sleepy investments, which they were. But the world is about to take a giant leap forward, leaning into electricity like never before. Now is the time to buy the Vanguard Utilities Index Fund ETF (NYSEMKT: VPU) , to take advantage of the decades of growth opportunity ahead.
NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) is one of the largest utilities in the United States, with a market cap of more than $140 billion. What's interesting about the business is that it operates in both the regulated utility space and the clean energy sector , where it is one of the largest producers of solar and wind power on the planet. It has a bird's-eye view of electricity demand.
