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.

Volunteer Partnerships in South Dakota
Sioux Falls employees volunteer at nonprofits
We are proud of the Xcel Energy employees in South Dakota, many of whom spend countless hours providing leadership and volunteer services to nonprofit organizations in our communities.
Lions Club Pancake Days
In April each year, you will see Xcel Energy employees volunteering at the annual Lions Club Pancake Days serving food, cleaning tables and pouring coffee. The money raised from the event goes to help aid the vision and hearing impaired in the community.
YMCA Camp Tepeetonka
Xcel Energy employees have a special relationship with the YMCA and their new Camp Tepeetonka located on Xcel Energy land near the Angus Anson Plant along the Sioux River in northeast Sioux Falls. Employees have helped develop walking trails, planted 40 blue spruce evergreen trees and cleaned up trash and debris along the road and forested area in and around the camp. Employees have “adopted” the camp which hosts 60 to 80 youth daily during the summer months.
Junior Achievement
Employees in South Dakota volunteer their time and talent to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy through the Junior Achievement program. Volunteers go into K-12 classrooms to teach young people the skills needed to ensure a successful future such as financial literacy, entrepreneurship and work readiness skills.
Community Blood Bank
The Sioux Falls Community Blood Bank “blood mobile” stops at the Xcel Energy Service Center in Sioux Falls annually. Employees donate needed blood to the hospitals and clinics through the nonprofit organization.
Children’s Inn
In December 2010, Mary Ellen Hutchison, administrative assistant, volunteered 22 hours wrapping gifts at the Children's Inn Gift Wrap Center at the Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, S.D. From the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, more than 800 volunteers worked 2,000 hours wrapping gifts, raising about $27,000. All proceeds went to the Children's Inn, a 24-hours free service for victims of family violence, child abuse and neglect.
