Dallas largest US natural gas-only utility (NYSE: ATO) ~$4.3B FY2024 revenue; 3.3M customers in 8 states, Texas population boom tailwind, 6-8% annual EPS growth, $3.5B/year capex competing with CenterPoint.
About
Atmos Energy Corporation is a Dallas, Texas-based natural gas distribution company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ATO) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — distributing natural gas to approximately 3.3 million residential, commercial, and industrial customers in eight states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Colorado, and Virginia) through approximately 4,500 employees, operating as the largest natural gas-only utility in the United States by customer count. In fiscal year 2024 (ending September 2024), Atmos Energy reported revenues of approximately $4.3 billion and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $7.03 — continuing Atmos Energy's consistent 6-8% annual EPS growth track record that has made Atmos Energy one of the most reliable earnings growth utilities in the US, supported by the multi-state regulatory framework that allows Atmos to recover capital investment through formula rate mechanisms in most of its eight service states. CEO Chris Forsythe leads Atmos Energy's capital investment program — $3.5 billion annually in pipeline system modernization (replacing vintage cast iron, bare steel, and mechanically coupled pipe with modern coated steel and plastic distribution pipe), safety system upgrades, and capacity expansion in high-growth Texas and Colorado markets. Texas remains Atmos Energy's dominant service territory (2+ million of 3.3 million customers, serving Dallas-Fort Worth metro, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and West Texas) where residential and commercial natural gas demand growth from the Texas population boom (DFW growing 150,000 residents annually) drives Atmos Energy's capital investment and revenue growth.
Richmond VA regulated utility (NYSE: D); $50.1B five-year capital plan (2025-2029, $17B data center driven), 33 GW → 47 GW contracted data center in NoVA, CVOW offshore wind, competing with Duke Energy.
About
Dominion Energy, Inc. is a Richmond, Virginia-based regulated electric and natural gas utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: D) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — serving approximately 4.4 million electric customers in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina through Dominion Energy Virginia (Virginia Electric and Power Company) and Dominion Energy South Carolina, and approximately 500,000 gas customers through Dominion Energy South Carolina Gas through approximately 16,500 employees. Dominion unveiled an ambitious $50.1 billion five-year capital investment plan for 2025-2029 — representing a $17 billion increase from prior plans specifically to support data center infrastructure in Virginia, where contracted data center capacity grew from 33 gigawatts to 47 gigawatts by October 2025 as hyperscale AI data center buildout in Northern Virginia (Ashburn/Loudoun County corridor — the world's largest data center market) accelerated beyond all prior demand projections. CEO Robert Blue's strategy reflects the unprecedented scale of AI-driven electricity demand growth in Dominion's Virginia service territory — where Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Meta have concentrated their largest data center campuses due to favorable regulatory environment, fiber infrastructure, and utility reliability. The $50.1 billion capital plan funds new generation capacity (solar, natural gas peakers, and potential nuclear uprates), transmission expansion to serve new data center substations, and distribution system upgrades across the Virginia service territory.
