November 6, 2009

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

     Performance Review: Consistent with its primary objective of current income, the Fund declared three monthly distributions of 6.5 cents per share of common stock during the third quarter of 2009. The 6.5 cent per share monthly rate, without compounding, would be 78 cents annualized, or an 8.74% common stock distribution yield based on the September 30, 2009, closing price of $8.924 per share. That yield compares favorably with the yields of 4.47% on the Dow Jones Utility Index and 4.55% on the S&P Utilities Index. Please refer to the portion of this letter captioned “About Your Fund—Distribution Policy” for important information about the anticipated sources and characterization of the Fund’s distributions for 2009.

     The Fund performed well on a total return basis (income plus change in market price) during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, relative to utility stock-only indices and a composite of the S&P Utilities Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Utility Bond Index that reflects the stock and bond ratio of the Fund. Your Fund’s total return of 14.4% for the quarter exceeded the 6.6% return of the Dow Jones Utility Index, the 6.2% return of the S&P Utilities Index, and the 6.6% return of the stock and bond composite referred to above.

     Likewise, the Fund’s year-to-date performance through September 30, 2009 has been favorable. During this period, your Fund’s total return of 57.2% exceeded the 5.4% return of the Dow Jones Utility Index, the 4.3% return of the S&P Utilities Index, and the 10.0% return of the stock and bond composite referred to above. A portion of this performance reflects a recovery in the Fund’s stock price from the historic low levels reached during the fourth quarter of 2008 due to investor tax strategies and a lack of retail interest in stocks in general.

     On a longer-term basis, as of September 30, 2009, your Fund had a five-year cumulative total return of 20.0%, which was below the 42.0% return of the composite of the S&P Utilities Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Utility Bond Index, reflecting the stock and bond ratio of the Fund. In comparison, the S&P Utilities Index had a total return during that period of 40.3%. It is important to note that the composite index returns stated here and below include no fees or expenses.

     The table below compares the performance of your Fund to various market benchmarks.

*

Total return includes dividends reinvested in the Fund or index, as applicable. The Composite Index is a composite of the returns of the S&P Utilities Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Utility Bond Index, weighted to reflect the stock and bond ratio of the Fund. Performance returns for the S&P Utilities Index and Barclays Capital U.S. Utility Bond Index were obtained from Bloomberg LLP. Fund returns were obtained from the Administrator of the Fund. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

     Climate Diplomacy: In 1997 in Kyoto, Japan, representatives of many countries expressed their concern over greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by negotiating a treaty called the Kyoto Protocol. Over 180 countries have ratified the Protocol to date. Under the Protocol, 37 industrialized countries agreed to reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gasses over the five year commitment period 2008 – 2012 by 5.2% compared to 1990 levels – a 29% reduction from estimated levels that would have been expected by 2010 without the Protocol.

     The Kyoto Protocol was an attempt to limit the growth of global GHG emissions. While successive U.S. administrations have expressed agreement with many of the Protocol’s principles, they have never submitted the treaty to the United States Senate for ratification. This was partly due to the fact that the treaty did not impose limitations on the major developing countries, whose emissions were growing and approaching those of the United States in absolute terms. Further, there was concern that committing to the Kyoto Protocol would harm the U.S. economy.

     The Kyoto Protocol has largely been a disappointment in achieving its goals. Although the United Nations has reported a 12% reduction in GHG emissions, most of the improvement is related to weak economic conditions and measurement period effects. Of the 37 countries that accepted limitations under the treaty, a third were eastern European countries that were not affected at all because their pollution limits were set far above their actual emissions. China and India, where emissions are rising, did not commit to any reductions.

     The Kyoto Protocol provides for a new and more stringent international framework for emission control and enforcement to be negotiated by the end of 2012. As a key step toward that goal, the next Climate Change Global Summit will be held in Copenhagen in December of this year. A number of thorny issues remain to be addressed. For example, it is not clear how much the industrialized countries will agree to reduce their emissions at the risk of economic growth, particularly if the major developing countries such as China and India continue to be unwilling to limit the growth of their emissions. In addition, the Kyoto Protocol included goals to help finance projects in developing countries that are parties to the Protocol. Questions remain on how to finance those projects during a period of strained domestic credit conditions.

     Closer to home is the climate change legislation that is gradually making its way through Congress. The Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act was introduced in the Senate in October with both clean air and job stimulus objectives. This legislation is the companion of the Waxman-Markey bill passed by the House of Representatives in June. The proposed Senate bill would mandate a 20% reduction in GHG emissions by 2020, compared to 17% for the House bill. Both bills would require an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 from the base year of 2005. The House bill contains federally mandated standards for power production from renewable sources, such as wind, and the establishment of an electric transmission siting authority to expedite the typically long and contentious siting process at the state level.

     If Congress produces a unified bill along the lines of the current legislative proposals, that bill would require companies to offset their emissions with annual allowances. Credits would be distributed free at first, and each year the amount of available allowances would decrease, forcing companies to buy them in an auction or reduce emissions through capital investment. Debate over the mechanism for allocating credits has been contentious, and the implications for consumers of energy and other goods and services are not fully understood. The concern, of course, is that prices could rise as companies pass through costs to consumers.

     The Senate bill gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) greater authority to regulate emissions while the House version would supersede the EPA’s authority to regulate GHG. Congress’s ultimate decision regarding the role of the EPA will be of particular importance to the electric utility industry. In 2007 the US Supreme Court ruled

2

---

that the EPA had the authority to regulate emissions of GHG from new motor vehicles; this decision could pave the way for the EPA to regulate GHG more broadly. Early in 2009 the EPA gave notice that it intends to regulate motor vehicle GHG emissions and in September, the EPA gave notice that it intends to regulate GHG emissions from large stationary sources that emit over 25,000 metric tons of GHG emissions per year. Even limiting the regulation to those stationary sources would affect 68% of the nation’s total stationary sources (electric generating plants, refiners, and cement kilns). The EPA has stated that it hopes to have the new regulations in place by the middle of 2010.

     It thus appears that climate change regulation could come about either through regulation (EPA), legislation (Congress), or international treaty (Copenhagen). Although the increased environmentally friendly activity in Congress and at the EPA will provide extra credibility that the U.S. will combat climate change when the President goes to Copenhagen, your Fund managers believe the prospect for legislation prior to Copenhagen and continuing into 2010 remains extremely low. Nonetheless, we continue to position Fund investments in utilities that benefit from reasonable state regulation, well reasoned strategies to finance capital expenditures, strong management, and the ability to maintain and grow dividends.

     About Your Fund—Leverage: Fund management reports quarterly to the Board about the composition of the Fund’s leverage and its contribution to the income available for distribution to common shareholders. As of September 30, 2009 the Fund’s leverage consisted of Remarketed Preferred Stock (“RP”) in the amount of $200 million, Auction Preferred Stock (“APS”) in the amount of $200 million, and debt leverage in the amount of $600 million. On that date the total amount of leverage constituted approximately 38% of the Fund’s total assets.

     The use of leverage enables the Fund to borrow at short-term rates and invest at longer-term rates. Historically, the term structure of interest rates is upward sloping (longer-term rates are higher than shorter-term rates). The Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) monetary policy has reduced short-term interest rates to near zero, and recent Fed policy statements indicate that short-term rates will remain low “for an extended period.” The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests earn substantially higher yields than the rates paid on the Fund’s leverage. As a result, leverage is making a significant contribution to the earnings of the Fund.

     Early in 2008 disruptions in the short-term fixed income markets resulted in failures in the periodic auctions and remarketings of all closed-end funds’ preferred shares, including the preferred shares of your Fund. Although not an event of default or impairment of dividends to the preferred or common share investors, these failures mean that current holders of preferred shares retain their shares until there is a successful remarketing or auction. At the February 2008 Board meeting, the Fund’s directors charged management with developing and evaluating potential solutions that would maintain the benefits from leverage and be in the best interests of all the Fund’s shareholders.

     After reviewing options meant to resolve preferred share illiquidity, in March 2009 management arranged a $1 billion credit facility with a commercial bank. Subsequent to the implementation of the credit facility, the Fund redeemed $200 million of remarketed preferred stock and $300 million of auction preferred stock. Earlier in the year, the Fund had redeemed $100 million of remarketed preferred stock with cash on hand, and, following the establishment of the credit facility, replaced $100 million of that amount with debt during the second quarter. The current leverage structure is the result of those actions.

     Fund management is continuing to pursue the goal of ultimately redeeming the preferred stock that remains outstanding in a manner consistent with the interests of all shareholders. The Fund is currently limited in its ability to use debt to refinance all of its outstanding preferred stock because of the asset coverage requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). In September 2009, the Fund received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Fund, for a transitional period ending in October 2010, to maintain 200% asset coverage

3

---

with respect to any new debt leverage that is used to refinance preferred stock, rather than the 300% that is normally required by the 1940 Act. The relief provided by the exemptive order is limited to any debt incurred to refinance the $400 million of preferred stock that was outstanding in September 2009; it does not apply to the $600 million of debt previously incurred. Our application and the exemptive order can be reviewed on the Fund’s website in the Reports and Notices section under SEC filings.

     The Fund is also limited in its ability to redeem additional preferred stock by guidelines established by the rating agencies as a condition of maintaining the AAA rating of the preferred stock. When the Fund arranged for the credit facility, one of the principal rating agencies granted approval for the Fund to utilize the full $1 billion to redeem its preferred stock, while the other rating agency granted approval for up to 60% of the Fund’s leverage to be in the form of debt. We have approached that rating agency requesting flexibility to redeem additional preferred stock beyond the 60% but cannot be certain whether or when such approval will be granted. Accordingly, the exact timing of any share redemptions is uncertain, and it is unlikely that all of the Fund’s outstanding preferred stock will be retired in the near future. The Fund will announce any redemption through press releases and postings to its website.

     About Your Fund—Distribution Policy: At the February 2008 Board of Directors meeting, the Board reaffirmed the current 6.5 cent per share monthly distribution rate and formalized the monthly distribution process by adopting a Managed Distribution Plan (MDP). The Board reviews the operation of the MDP on a quarterly basis, with the most recent review having been conducted in November 2009. The MDP is described in a Question and Answer format on your Fund’s web site: http://www.dnpselectincome.com.

     From 2004 to 2008, the Fund made use of realized gains offset by tax loss carryforwards to supplement its investment income. When the Fund utilizes tax loss carryforwards, distributions to shareholders derived from realized gains are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and are shown as such on the shareholder Form 1099-DIV. Until 2008, the treatment of the Fund’s realized gains as ordinary income for tax purposes enabled the Fund to maintain its monthly “income only” distribution rate. In 2008, however, the Fund exhausted the tax loss carryforwards it had previously generated. In the absence of tax loss carryforwards, distributions from realized gains will be treated as taxable gains rather than ordinary income.

     The 1940 Act and related SEC rules generally prohibit investment companies from distributing long-term capital gains, as defined by the IRC, more often than once in a twelve–month period. However, in 2008, the SEC granted the Fund’s request for exemptive relief from that prohibition, and the Fund is now permitted, subject to certain conditions, to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains as frequently as twelve times a year, in connection with the Fund’s MDP.

     Even though the Fund has received that exemptive relief from the SEC, a return of capital could occur if the Fund were to distribute more than its income and net realized capital gains. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you but does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” Any return of capital would not be taxable to shareholders in the year it is paid. Rather, shareholders would be required to reduce the cost basis of their shares by the amount of the return of capital so that, when the shares are ultimately sold, they will have properly accounted for the return of capital. Based on results through the third quarter, it appears likely that a portion of the Fund’s distributions in 2009 will be a return of capital. The actual tax characterization of the 2009 distributions to shareholders will be determined in early 2010 for 2009 and shareholders will be notified via a Form 1099-DIV.

     (1) Equity securities traded on a national or foreign securities exchange or traded over-the-counter and quoted on the NASDAQ System are valued at the last reported sale price or, if there was no sale on the pricing date, then the security is valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices as obtained on that day from one or more dealers regularly making a market in that security. Fixed income securities are valued at the mean of bid and ask prices provided by an independent pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities. Such bid and ask prices are determined taking into account securities prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings, and institutional size trading in similar securities and developments related to specific securities. Any securities for which it is determined that market prices are unavailable or inappropriate are valued at a fair value using a procedure determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Short-term instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates market value.

     The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value which is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risks, etc.)

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)

     The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each of the Fund’s investments at September 30, 2009.

     (2) At December 31, 2008, the Fund’s most recent fiscal tax year end, based on a tax cost of investments of $2,719,792,908, the Fund had gross unrealized appreciation of $140,858,282 and gross unrealized depreciation of $357,986,410.
