More than 100 employees and retirees from Xcel Energy gathered at the Wisconsin State Capitol for the company’s annual Legislative Day, meeting with state leaders to discuss key energy priorities.

Participants emphasized the importance of strong collaboration between utilities and policymakers as energy demand continues to grow. Discussions focused on strengthening the grid, expanding infrastructure, and advancing new technologies to ensure reliable service.

Xcel Energy serves approximately 260,000 electric and 116,000 natural gas customers in Wisconsin, and company officials said continued engagement like this is key to meeting the state’s future energy needs.
