Xcel Energy Aims for Zero-Carbon Electricity by 2050

The Clean Air Task Force endorses Xcel Energy's target of zero-carbon electricity by 2050, stating that such goals are necessary to manage climate change and that the power grid must lead the effort to eliminate carbon emissions by mid-century.

• The Clean Air Task Force views Xcel Energy's carbon reduction goals as timely and positions the company as a leader in the field.
• Managing climate change requires the virtual elimination of carbon emissions by 2050, with the power grid serving as a primary driver of this effort.
• Achieving zero-carbon targets at an affordable cost is considered a challenge that requires a specific combination of policy and technology, which could serve as a global example.
