Our products and services differ based on state. Please select your state (or the state you're interested in) from the list to the left.
Why do our products and services differ based on state? Because our business is regulated by state. We have regulated operations in eight Western and Midwestern states. The different regulatory body for each state we serve determines what products and services we deliver in that state.
Climate Action Plan
Climate Action Plan
We are taking action now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
We continue to reduce emissions through a combination of renewable energy, customer energy efficiency and plant improvement projects. It is a clean energy strategy that works for the communities we serve by balancing costs and environmental benefits with a reliable utility system.
Since 2005, we have reduced total CO2 emissions from the owned and purchased energy that we provide by about 12 percent and remain on track to achieve a 20-percent reduction by 2020.
Our plans include:
- Increasing our system wind capacity from about 3,400 MW in 2010 to 4,800 MW by 2018 and solar capacity from about 90 MW in 2010 to 480 MW in 2018
- Expanding the size of our customer energy efficiency and conservation programs, resulting in a reduction in retail energy demand
- Improving our generating plant fleet through upgrades to existing plants, retirement of older plants and development of new, efficient facilities
