Making renewable energy a reality

Renewable energy saves money: Xcel Energy reported that wind energy saved consumers $9.75 million in 2005 alone. By the end of 2007, Xcel expects to more than triple its wind energy capacity. This means the long-term cost stability of wind energy will continue to pay more and more benefits to consumers.

Renewable energy enhances utility system stability. Utility studies show that electric system reliability will not be affected adversely with significant levels of renewable energy penetration.
