ReplyDeleteAn electric utility: 10 years.
An electric utility that decides to "enhance shareholder value" in various ways: 15 years.
An electric utility whose management thinks it can become a growth company through acquisitions: 20 years.
An electric utility whose rising stars think the above data points paint a flattering picture: 30 years.
