FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 11, 2006

Columbus, Ohio: The 2008Public Utilities Fortnightly provides information and analysis about the electric, telecommunications, water, and natural gas industries. An industry standard for over 80 years, Public Utilities Fortnightly focuses on emerging trends at investor-owned electric and gas utility companies. Topics covered include merger and acquisition activity, regulation and deregulation initiatives, business cases, legal rulings and emerging technologies.

In 2005, Fortnightly inaugurated the Fortnightly 40 (F40) financial rankings of electric and gas utilities, pipelines, and distribution companies. Each year, the magazine selects the nation’s top 40 energy companies based on “superior asset management, exceptional cost discipline, and magnificent growth opportunities.” The publication makes these selections independently; companies do not self-nominate for the list.

The Fortnightly 40 was published in the September 2006 issue of the magazine. Of the forty, fifteen were clients of Twenty First Century Communications. TFCC is pleased to support these remarkable companies with a suite of custom services developed for the utility industry.
