We're seeing a utilities boom like we haven't in quite some time. Indeed, since the rise of the internet, I don't think we've seen this many infrastructure and utilities companies in the limelight as we're seeing now.
One company that's starting to grab investor attention in a big way is National Grid (NGG), a U.K.-based electricity and gas utility company. Serving much of the United Kingdom, National Grid is a company that's not often on investors' radar screens, but that could mean that it's an interesting opportunity to consider.
