Xcel Energy supplies electricity and gas across eight states from Minnesota to Texas and builds wind faster than almost anyone in the industry.
The model is regulated: a state commission approves tariffs so the company recovers what it invested and earns an allowed return on capital. Profit therefore grows not from selling electricity but from building — replacing coal plants with wind and solar, new transmission lines, network upgrades. A large capital programme is what drives the result years ahead.
Its service territories give the company a better-than-average wind resource, while demand is supported by data centres and the electrification of heating. The main risk of recent years is liability for wildfires: a claim after a major blaze can cost a utility more than a year's profit, and such sums are not fully insurable. Xcel pays a dividend and raises it annually.
