About Xcel Energy

Xcel Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: XEL) is a regulated electric and natural gas utility holding company. It operates through four utility subsidiaries:

- Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo)
- Northern States Power-Minnesota (NSP-Minnesota)
- Southwestern Public Service (SPS), serving Texas and New Mexico
- Northern States Power-Wisconsin (NSP-Wisconsin)

The company earns most of its revenue from regulated electric service, with a smaller natural gas distribution business. Earnings are driven by rate base growth recovered through rate cases and capital riders. It also holds equity method investments, including WYCO and investment funds with interests in energy technology companies.

Xcel describes itself as one of the nation's largest builders of clean generation and high-voltage transmission. It is pursuing a [USD:70 billion] 2027–2031 base capital plan focused on renewables, transmission, distribution and generation. The company is also pursuing large-load customer growth such as a Google data center in Minnesota. NSP-Wisconsin plans to divest its Michigan electric and gas operations. Updated
