Joe Mowery, a resource technologies investment banker with Stephens in Little Rock, said he thinks the DOE allocated money based on where it was most needed.

Even prior to the recession, utilities planned on significant upgrades, and the ensuing stimulus funding will not only help ensure that those projects move forward but also provide the momentum for continued non-stimulus spending on improvements for years ahead, Mr. Mowery noted.
