| Xcel Energy operates 17,335 miles of transmission lines throughout our 10-state service territory, with major control centers in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Golden, Colorado; and Amarillo, Texas.
Transmission lines are large power lines that move power at high voltages from power plants, where the power is made, to substations in neighborhoods. At substations, we reduce the voltage and move the power through distribution lines to homes and businesses.
We operate our transmission system on a non-discriminatory basis under the open access requirements of the federal government. This means that all wholesale buyers and sellers of electricity can use our transmission system under the same terms and conditions used to serve Xcel Energy’s own retail customers.
