MINNEAPOLIS (Sept. 25, 2025) — Over 2,900 volunteers from Xcel Energy and the communities it serves took action to support nonprofit organizations during the company’s 15th annual Day of Service on Sept. 11–13.

Volunteer efforts this year generated $309,000 in economic impact across communities in seven of the states the company serves: Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin.

Over the past five years, Xcel Energy has supported nearly 600 Day of Service projects across its service territory, with a total of nearly than 14,000 volunteers and an estimated cumulative economic impact of more than $1.4 million.

“Our employees consistently show up with purpose and passion to make energy work better for the people we serve,” said Bob Frenzel, president, chairman, and CEO of Xcel Energy. “Their commitment to strengthening local nonprofits and driving meaningful change in the communities where they live and work reflects the core of our company’s values.”
