Regulated utilities are among the best-known dividend payers in the US market. Most of their revenue comes from rates approved by state regulators, which usually makes their cash flow steadier than that of companies tied to commodity prices or consumer spending. Long-term dividend investors often look at them for that reason. They carry their own risks too: high debt, large building programs, rate decisions and sensitivity to interest rates. This page lists ten of the largest, longest-established US utilities with their payment frequency, raise streaks where one is confirmed, and sourced facts about their 2026 dividends. Live yields are in the app.

How to read this page. Companies are listed alphabetically. The raise streak is consecutive years with a higher annual dividend, as the app counts it; where the company gives its own count, it is quoted. “–” means the app shows no streak. Amounts are per share, in US dollars.
