The interesting angle

Hit 96% renewable energy in a single month (May 2025) and averaged 85% renewable across 2025, well ahead of Xcel's investor-owned model; targeting 100% clean energy by 2030 and full emissions offset by 2035; CEO Bryan Hannegan previously an Associate Lab Director at NREL; great contrast piece to Platte River Power Authority (also in this directory) on how municipal/co-op utilities are outpacing investor-owned peers
