Xcel Energy No. 1 Wind Energy Provider

Xcel Energy remains the number one utility provider of wind energy in the United States, according to a newly released report from the American Wind Energy Association.

This is the ninth consecutive year that Xcel Energy has led the nation in providing wind energy to its customers.

At the end of 2012, Xcel Energy had nearly 4,900 megawatts of wind electricity generating capacity on its system, enough to power 1.5 million homes and at least 600 megawatts more than the next leading utility.
