PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Utility Trust (the "Fund") for
use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund to be held on Monday, May
14, 2007, at 11:00 a.m., at The Cole Auditorium, The Greenwich Library, 101 West
Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, and at any adjournments thereof
(the "Meeting"). A Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and proxy card
accompany this Proxy Statement, all of which are first being mailed to
shareholders on or about April 2, 2007.

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, officers of the Fund
and officers and regular employees of Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
("Computershare"), the Fund's transfer agent, and affiliates of Computershare or
other representatives of the Fund also may solicit proxies by telephone,
telegraph, Internet, or in person. In addition, the Fund has retained The Altman
Group, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a minimum fee of $2,500
plus reimbursement of expenses. The Fund will pay the costs of the proxy
solicitation and the expenses incurred in connection with preparing the Proxy
Statement and its enclosures. The Fund will also reimburse brokerage firms and
others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial
owners of its shares.

THE FUND'S MOST RECENT ANNUAL REPORT, INCLUDING AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006, IS AVAILABLE UPON
REQUEST, WITHOUT CHARGE, BY WRITING TO THE FUND AT ONE CORPORATE CENTER, RYE,
NEW YORK 10580-1422, BY CALLING THE FUND AT 800-422-3554, OR VIA THE INTERNET AT
WWW.GABELLI.COM.

If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be
voted at the Meeting, the Shares (as defined below) represented thereby will be
voted "FOR" the election of the nominees as Trustees listed in the accompanying
Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, unless instructions to the contrary
are marked thereon, and at the discretion of the proxy holders as to the
transaction of any other business that may properly come before the Meeting. Any
shareholder who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time prior
to its exercise either by attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares in
person or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy to the
Fund at the above address prior to the date of the Meeting.

A quorum of shareholders is constituted by the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund
entitled to vote at the Meeting. In the event a quorum is not present at the
Meeting, or in the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient
votes to approve any of the proposed items are not received, the persons named
as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of such Meeting to permit
further solicitation of proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more
of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient
votes have been received for approval and it is otherwise appropriate. Any such
adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares
present at the Meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the
persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote
"FOR" any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies
required to be voted "AGAINST" any proposal against any such adjournment. Absent
the establishment of a subsequent record date and the giving of notice to the
holders of record thereon, the adjourned Meeting must take place not more than
120 days after the record date. At such adjourned Meeting, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the original Meeting. If a quorum
is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals
properly brought before the Meeting prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes
have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

The close of business on March 12, 2007 has been fixed as the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Meeting and all adjournments thereof.

The Fund has two classes of capital stock: common shares, par value $0.001
per share (the "Common Shares") and preferred shares consisting of (i) 5.625%
Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares ("Series A Preferred") and (ii) Series B
Auction Market Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred"), each having a par value
of $0.001 per share (together, the "Preferred Shares" and together with the
Common Shares, the "Shares"). The holders of the Common Shares and Preferred
Shares are each entitled to one vote for each full share held and an appropriate
fraction of a vote for each fractional share held. On the record date, there
were 29,731,495 Common Shares, 1,184,200 Series A Preferred Shares, and 1,000

nominated by the Board of Trustees for a three-year term to expire at the Fund's
2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected
and qualified. Each of the Trustees of the Fund has served in that capacity
since the March 29, 1999 organizational meeting of the Fund. All of the Trustees
of the Fund are also directors or trustees of other investment companies for
which Gabelli Funds, LLC (the "Adviser") or its affiliates serve as investment

Under the Fund's Declaration of Trust, Statements of Preferences, and the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), holders of the
Fund's outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are entitled to
elect two Trustees, and holders of the Fund's outstanding Common Shares and
Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the
remaining Trustees, subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Fund's
Declaration of Trust, Statements of Preferences, and By-Laws. The holders of the
Fund's outstanding Preferred Shares would be entitled to elect the minimum
number of additional Trustees that would represent a majority of the Trustees in
the event that dividends on the Fund's Preferred Shares are in arrears for two
full years. No dividend arrearages exist as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
Messrs. Colavita and Conn are currently the Trustees elected solely by the
holders of the Fund's Preferred Shares.

Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in
the proxy to vote the proxy "FOR" the election of the nominees named above. Each
nominee has indicated that he has consented to serve as a Trustee if elected at
the Meeting. If a designated nominee declines or otherwise becomes unavailable
for election, however, the proxy confers discretionary power on the persons
named therein to vote in favor of a substitute nominee or nominees.

as a controlling shareholder because of the level of his ownership of

by telephone, including Committee meetings, together with the Trustee's actual
out-of-pocket expenses relating to his attendance at such meetings. In addition,
the Audit Committee Chairman receives an annual fee of $3,000 and the Nominating
Committee Chairman receives an annual fee of $2,000. The aggregate remuneration
(not including out-of-pocket expenses) paid by the Fund to the Trustees during
the year ended December 31, 2006 amounted to $71,500. During the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006, the Trustees of the Fund met four times. Each Trustee
then serving in such capacity attended at least 75% of the meetings of Trustees
and of any Committee of which he is a member.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The role of the Fund's Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") is to
assist the Board of Trustees in its oversight of (i) the quality and integrity
of Fund's financial statement reporting process and the independent audit and
reviews thereof; (ii) the Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies and
practices, its internal controls, and, as appropriate, the internal controls of
certain of its service providers; (iii) the Fund's compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements; and (iv) the independent registered public accounting
firm's qualifications, independence, and performance. The Audit Committee also
is required to prepare an audit committee report pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for inclusion in the Fund's
annual proxy statement. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to the Audit
Committee Charter (the "Charter") that was most recently reviewed and approved
by the Board of Trustees on February 22, 2007.

Pursuant to the Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for conferring
with the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing annual
financial statements, approving the selection of the Fund's independent
registered public accounting firm, and overseeing the Fund's internal controls.
The Charter also contains provisions relating to the pre-approval by the Audit
Committee of certain non-audit services to be provided by

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers") to the Fund and to the
Adviser and certain of its affiliates. The Audit Committee advises the full
Board with respect to accounting, auditing, and financial matters affecting the
Fund. As set forth in the Charter, management is responsible for maintaining
appropriate systems for accounting and internal control, and the Fund's
independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for planning and
carrying out proper audits and reviews. The independent registered public
accounting firm is ultimately accountable to the Board of Trustees and to the
Audit Committee, as representatives of shareholders. The independent registered
public accounting firm for the Fund reports directly to the Audit Committee.

In performing its oversight function, at a meeting held on February 20,
2007, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management of the Fund and
PricewaterhouseCoopers the audited financial statements of the Fund as of and
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and discussed the audit of such
financial statements with the independent registered public accounting firm.

In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered
public accounting firm the accounting principles applied by the Fund and such
other matters brought to the attention of the Audit Committee by the independent
registered public accounting firm as required by Statement of Auditing Standards
No. 61, COMMUNICATIONS WITH AUDIT COMMITTEES, as currently modified or
supplemented. The Audit Committee also received from the independent registered
public accounting firm the written disclosures and statements required by the
SEC's independence rules, delineating relationships between the independent
registered public accounting firm and the Fund, and discussed the impact that
any such relationships might have on the objectivity and independence of the
independent registered public accounting firm.

As set forth above, and as more fully set forth in the Charter, the Audit
Committee has significant duties and powers in its oversight role with respect
to the Fund's financial reporting procedures, internal control systems, and the
independent audit process.

The members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves
to be, professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are
not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management, or internal
control purposes. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no
independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by
management or the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm.
Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent
basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and/or
financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and
procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and
applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's
considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that
the audit of the Fund's financial statements has been carried out in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (United States).

Based on its consideration of the audited financial statements and the
discussions referred to above with management and the Fund's independent
registered public accounting firm, and subject to the limitations on the
responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the Charter and
those discussed above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Fund's Board of
Trustees that the Fund's audited financial statements be included in the Fund's
Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

SUBMITTED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE FUND'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Anthony R. Pustorino, Chairman
Anthony J. Colavita
Vincent D. Enright

February 22, 2007

The Audit Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006. The Audit Committee is composed of three of the Fund's independent
Trustees (as such term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange's listing
standards (the "NYSE Listing Standards")), namely Messrs. Colavita, Enright, and
Pustorino. Each member of the Audit Committee has been determined by the Board
of Trustees to be financially literate.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

The Board of Trustees has a Nominating Committee composed of three
independent Trustees (as such term is defined by the NYSE Listing Standards),
namely Messrs. Colavita, Enright, and Zizza. The Nominating Committee met once
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Nominating Committee is
responsible for identifying and recommending to the Board of Trustees
individuals believed to be qualified to become Board members in the event that a
position is vacated or created. The Nominating Committee will consider Trustee
candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by
shareholders, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of
the Board of Trustees, the qualifications of the candidate, and the interests of
shareholders. The Nominating Committee may also take into consideration the
number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time
that such shares have been held. To recommend a candidate for consideration by
the Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in
writing and must include the following information:

o The name of the shareholder and evidence of the shareholder's
ownership of shares of the Fund, including the number of shares
owned and the length of time of ownership;

o The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of
his or her qualifications to be a Trustee of the Fund, and the
person's consent to be named as a Trustee if selected by the
Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board of Trustees; and

o If requested by the Nominating Committee, a completed and signed
trustees' questionnaire.

The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be
sent to James E. McKee, the Fund's Secretary, c/o Gabelli Funds, LLC, at One
Corporate Center, Rye, NY 10580-1422, and must be received by the Secretary no
less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the Fund's most recent
annual meeting of shareholders or, if the meeting has moved by more than 30
days, a reasonable amount of time before the meeting.

The Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for
serving as a Trustee of the Fund are that the individual demonstrate, by
significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful
contribution to the Board of Trustees' oversight of the business and affairs of
the Fund and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical
conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition,
the Nominating Committee examines a candidate's specific experiences and skills,
time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of
interest, and independence from management and the Fund. The Nominating
Committee also seeks to have the Board of Trustees represent a diversity of
backgrounds and experience.

The Fund's Nominating Committee adopted a charter on May 12, 2004, and
amended the charter on November 17, 2004. The charter can be found on the Fund's
website at www.gabelli.com.

OTHER BOARD-RELATED MATTERS

The Board of Trustees has established the following procedures in order to
facilitate communications between the Board and the shareholders of the Fund and
other interested parties.

RECEIPT OF COMMUNICATIONS

Shareholders and other interested parties may contact the Board or any
member of the Board by mail or electronically. To communicate with the Board or
any member of the Board, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or the
Board member(s) with whom you wish to communicate by either name or title. All
such correspondence should be sent c/o the Fund at One Corporate Center, Rye, NY
10580-1422. To communicate with the Board electronically, shareholders may send
an e-mail to gabellifundsboard@gabelli.com.

FORWARDING THE COMMUNICATIONS

All communications received will be opened by the office of the General
Counsel of the Adviser for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents
represent a message to one or more Trustees. The office of the General Counsel
will forward promptly to the addressee(s) any contents that relate to the Fund
and that are not in the nature of advertising, promotion of a product or
service, or patently offensive or otherwise objectionable material. In the case
of communications to the Board of Trustees or any committee or group of members
of the Board, the General Counsel's office will make sufficient copies of the
contents to send to each Trustee who is a member of the group or committee to
which the envelope or e-mail is addressed.

The Fund does not expect Trustees or Nominees for election as Trustee to
attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
compensation of the Fund's Trustees and officers for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006. Mr. Schachter is employed by the Fund and is not employed by
the Adviser (although he may receive incentive-based variable compensation from
affiliates of the Adviser). Officers of the Fund who are employed by the Adviser
receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Fund.

requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the applicable
class or classes of Shares of the Fund represented at the Meeting if a quorum is
present.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INCLUDING THE "INDEPENDENT" TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMMON AND PREFERRED SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF
EACH NOMINEE.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

PricewaterhouseCoopers, 300 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, has been
selected to serve as the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. PricewaterhouseCoopers acted as
the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006. The Fund knows of no direct financial or material
indirect financial interest of PricewaterhouseCoopers in the Fund. A
representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers will not be present at the Meeting, but
will be available by telephone and will have an opportunity to make a statement,
if asked, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Set forth in the table below are audit fees and non-audit related fees
billed to the Fund by PricewaterhouseCoopers for professional services received
during and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUDIT-RELATED
DECEMBER 31 AUDIT FEES FEES* TAX FEES** ALL OTHER FEES
----------- ---------- ------------- ---------- --------------

2005 $ 35,800 $ 13,400 $ 2,880 --
2006 $ 38,300 $ 13,400 $ 3,100 --

-------------
* "Audit-Related Fees" are those fees billed to the Fund by
PricewaterhouseCoopers in connection with the preparation of Preferred
Shares Reports to Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services.

** "Tax Fees" are those fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers in connection
with tax compliance services, including primarily the review of the Fund's
income tax returns.

The Fund's Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee
pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent
registered public accounting firm to the Fund, and all non-audit services to be
provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund's
Adviser and service providers controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the Fund's Adviser ("affiliates") that provide on-going services to
the Fund (a "Covered Services Provider"), if the engagement relates directly to
the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Audit Committee may
delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible
non-audit services to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and the Chairman must
report his decision(s) to the Audit Committee, at its next regularly scheduled
meeting after the Chairman's pre-approval of such services. The Audit Committee
may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for
pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the
delegation of some or all of the Audit Committee's pre-approval responsibilities
to other persons (other than the Adviser or the Fund's officers). Pre-approval
by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so
long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services
provided to the Fund, the Adviser, and any Covered Services Provider constitutes
not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its
independent registered public accounting firm during the year in which the
permissible non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit
services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be
non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the
attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee or the
Chairman prior to the completion of the audit. All of the audit, audit-related,
and tax services described above for which PricewaterhouseCoopers billed the
Fund fees for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006

were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, PricewaterhouseCoopers has
represented to the Fund that it did not provide any non-audit services (or bill
any fees for such services) to the Adviser or any affiliates thereof that
provide services to the Fund.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

Gabelli Funds, LLC is the Fund's Adviser and Administrator and its
business address is One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580-1422.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the
rules thereunder, require the Fund's executive officers and Trustees, executive
officers and directors of the Adviser, certain other affiliated persons of the
Adviser, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Fund's
securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC
and the New York Stock Exchange and to furnish the Fund with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on the Fund's review of the copies
of such forms it received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund
believes that during that year such persons complied with all such applicable
filing requirements.

BROKER NON-VOTES AND ABSTENTIONS

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting
business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies
from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received
instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares
on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have
discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but that have
not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting
instructions promptly.

The affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast for each Nominee by the
shareholders entitled to vote for a particular Nominee is necessary for the
election of a Trustee. Abstentions or broker non-votes will not be counted as
votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Abstentions or
broker non-votes, however, will be considered to be present at the Meeting for
purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

Shareholders of the Fund will be informed of the voting results of the
Meeting in the Fund's Semi-Annual Report dated June 30, 2007.

OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

The Trustees of the Fund do not intend to present any other business at
the Meeting, nor are they aware that any shareholder intends to do so. If,
however, any other matters, including adjournments, are properly brought before
the Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote thereon in
accordance with their judgment.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

All proposals by shareholders of the Fund which are intended to be
presented at the Fund's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2008
must be received by the Fund for consideration for inclusion in the Fund's proxy
statement and proxy relating to that meeting no later than December 17, 2007.
There are additional requirements regarding proposals of shareholders, and a
shareholder contemplating submission of a proposal is referred to Rule 14a-8
under the 1934 Act.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY. SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT
EXPECT TO ATTEND THE MEETING ARE THEREFORE URGED TO COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE, AND
RETURN THE PROXY CARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE.
