structure and energy delivery, and to improve customer satisfaction. EEI also honored us
for our environmental achievements.

Index (DJSI) for North America. The companies listed on the DJSI are considered
best in class in terms of economic, environmental and social performance.
E X C E L L E N T E M P L O Y E E S Recognition, a successful strategy and outstanding
results don’t happen without excellent employees. Their efforts to keep Xcel Energy
strong and well respected are impressive, and they come through for customers no
matter the circumstances. In 2006, we launched our People Strategy, a business plan
for our workforce that will enable us to continue to attract, retain and engage the
employees we need for long-term success.
In closing, we’d like to welcome two new members to our board of directors. David
A. Westerlund is executive vice president of administration and corporate secretary
at Ball Corp. in Broomfield, Colo. Timothy V. Wolf is vice president and global chief
financial officer for the Molson Coors Brewing Co., based in Denver, Colo.
We are looking forward to a successful 2007 because we’ve established a strong
foundation and are focused on the issues that matter to you. Thank you for your
continued support of Xcel Energy and your confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Richard C. Kelly
Chairman, President and CEO
