Xcel Energy (NYSE: XEL) reported Q1 EPS of $0.47, versus $0.46 reported last year.

“We’ve made excellent progress on our steel for fuel strategy this quarter, with proposals for new wind farms that would add almost 3,400 megawatts of wind generation to our system. With wind energy at historic low prices in our operating territories, we can secure savings that will benefit customers for decades to come. Our plan offers impressive economic and environmental benefits that appeal to our customers, stakeholders and shareholders and strengthens our position as an affordable, reliable, clean energy provider,” said Ben Fowke, chairman, president and CEO of Xcel Energy.

“First quarter earnings were generally in line with our internal plan, despite the unfavorable impact of warmer temperatures. We are on track to keep our operating costs flat for the full year and deliver earnings within our 2017 guidance range,” concluded Fowke.
