Xcel Energy Inc. today reported 2015 second quarter GAAP and ongoing earnings of $197 million, or $0.39 per share, compared with $195 million, or $0.39 per share, in the same period in 2014.

"In other good news, our Monticello nuclear plant has received final NRC approval and is operating at full capacity. In Colorado, our Cherokee combine-cycle plant completed its first-fire. The project is on budget and on time."

Second quarter electric margin increased due to new rates and riders in various jurisdictions and a lower PSCo earnings test refund that was partially offset by weather-normalized sales decline and unfavorable weather, having an impact of $0.02. The increase in margin was offset by higher depreciation, lower allowance for funds used during construction, higher property taxes, operating and maintenance expenses and interest charges.

"Our financial results during the first half of the year were generally in line with our expectations and we continue to expect to deliver ongoing earnings within our 2015 ongoing earnings guidance of $2.00 to $2.15 per share, despite lower than anticipated sales, unfavorable weather and adjustments to our rate request in Minnesota," said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Ben Fowke.

"Over the last several quarters, we laid out plans to reduce the ROE gap at our utilities and we are especially pleased with our progress this quarter. Recently signed legislation in Minnesota and Texas supplements our regulatory compact with new tools, supports our efforts as we continue to strengthen the system for our customers and improves our visibility on meeting our long term earnings growth objectives."

"Importantly, the new legislation brings a longer-term focus to regulation in Minnesota, similar to what we have already accomplished in Colorado and North Dakota. Aligning the policies, business plans and rates in each of the states we serve is an important part of our strategy, and we took a big step forward this quarter."

"In other good news, our Monticello nuclear plant has received final NRC approval and is operating at full capacity. In Colorado, our Cherokee combine-cycle plant completed its first-fire. The project is on budget and on time."
