The energy industry can be a great place to find dividend stocks . Many pay above-average yields due to business models built around generating steady income. Three that stand out as attractive buys in the sector this month for dividend seekers are Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE: CEQP) , Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN) (NYSE: CWEN.A) , and Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL)
Crestwood Equity Partners is a master limited partnership ( MLP ) that operates primarily fee-based midstream infrastructure . That business model generates lots of recurring cash flow that is relatively immune to fluctuations in energy prices and volumes. That was evident last year as Crestwood grew its earnings by 10% despite all the turbulence in the energy market.
