General information

Xcel Energy sells electricity and natural gas across 8 Western and Midwestern states. It provides electricity distribution and sales, natural gas distribution and sales, and renewable energy. The company is based in Minneapolis, United States.

Xcel Energy grew out of three older utilities: Southwestern Public Service, dating to 1904, Northern States Power, from 1909, and Public Service Company of Colorado, from 1923. PSCo and SPS merged in 1995. NSP then merged with that company in 1999 to form Xcel Energy. It is a public company, trading on Nasdaq as XEL. As of 2024, it had 11,380 employees and served about 3.9 million electricity customers and 2.2 million natural gas customers. That matters: over a century, mergers built one company that now serves millions of customers.

Currently, there's a total of 128 job openings at Xcel Energy. Over the last 30 days, 214 jobs were added and 150 were removed (job postings usually stay up ~9 days before being removed). Historically, the median salary is ~$118,700. Xcel Energy is an H-1B sponsor.1
