XCEL ENERGY INC. (XEL), through subsidiary Public Service Company of Colorado, reports a Colorado electric rate case outcome following a comprehensive non-unanimous settlement with Colorado regulators and parties. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission verbally approved most settlement terms, with a modification to use a 13‑month average historical 2025 test year.
The approved settlement is expected to provide a revenue increase of $157 million (excluding rider roll‑ins), equal to 4.4% total, or about 1.5% per year since the last rate case. It is based on a 9.3% return on equity and 54.5% equity ratio, with a projected 2025 rate base of $13 billion.
The settlement also includes a performance framework for the Comanche Unit 3 coal facility through 2029 and continuation of previously authorized trackers and deferrals. Rates are expected to be effective August 29, 2026, after a written decision. Xcel Energy reaffirmed its 2026 ongoing EPS guidance of $4.04 to $4.16.

Xcel Energy Inc. reported solid earnings growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total operating revenues were $ 3,119 million versus $ 3,287 million a year earlier, while net income increased to $ 586 million from $ 444 million. Diluted EPS rose to $ 0.93 from $ 0.75, helped by lower electric fuel and purchased power costs, reduced depreciation, higher equity-method income and continued AFUDC, partially offset by higher interest expense.
For the first six months of 2026, net income was $ 1,142 million compared with $ 927 million, and diluted EPS was $ 1.82 versus $ 1.59. Operating cash flow strengthened to $ 2,797 million from $ 2,109 million. The company is funding large capital programs, with capital expenditures of $ 5,970 million and long-term debt (including current portion) rising to $ 36,947 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $ 2,010 million, supported by a $1.5 billion term loan and $4.75 billion of committed revolving credit facilities, of which $ 3,648 million remained available.
Xcel Energy continues to manage significant wildfire and regulatory exposures. For the 2024 Smokehouse Creek Fire Complex, it has recorded a total estimated loss of $ 460 million (before insurance), with $ 404 million of expected loss payments already settled and approximately $80 million of the $ 525 million annual wildfire insurance limit remaining. The company notes that ultimate resolution could exceed insurance coverage and materially affect results. For the Marshall Fire in Colorado, settlements totaling $ 640 million have been executed, and higher expected insurance recoveries produced a $ 19 million net credit to 2026 earnings. In Minnesota, regulators ordered a $ 41 million disallowance related to a Prairie Island nuclear outage, leading to $ 38 million of customer refunds recorded in 2026. Adjusting for these non-recurring items, first-half ongoing earnings were $ 1,156 million and ongoing diluted EPS were $ 1.84 versus $ 1.59 a year earlier.
