Electric, Gas & Sanitary Services

The Electric, Gas & Sanitary Services industry, classified under SIC 4900, encompasses integrated utilities, independent power producers, gas distribution networks, water and wastewater systems, and waste-to-energy or recycling services that keep households, businesses, and municipalities running. Core offerings range from electricity generation, transmission, and retail supply to natural gas delivery, district heating, potable water, sewage treatment, and solid-waste management, serving residential ratepayers, industrial users, data centers, hospitals, and public agencies. Operators face heavy capital intensity, exposure to fuel-price volatility, weather shocks, credit markets, and stringent oversight from federal, state, and local regulators on rates, safety, environmental compliance, and grid reliability. In 2024–2025, the sector is shaped by decarbonization mandates, grid modernization, electrification of transport, distributed energy resources, AI-driven demand management, and growing ESG scrutiny on resiliency and affordability.
