6 Clean Power Income Trusts: A Good Way to Access High Yields

I'm surprised you do not mention the very best utility trust of all: Atlantic Power Income Fund. ATPWF.PK. or ATP.UN in canada. Check it out on the Globe and Mail investor site. They just increased their monthly dividend...again.They have just acquired a power plant in Florida and have an agreement with Progress Energy that provides cash flow through 2013.. They own various power plants in New England and upstate NY.

It has also extended through 2013 its forward purchases of Canadian dollars in amounts sufficient to make the current level of monthly distributions.

Also, since it is not a oil or gas trust, it is still a question as to whether it will be affected by the tax changes in 2011.
