Kimberly Randolph oversees the engineering and construction teams that execute the strategic capital investment plan for Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy’s diverse portfolio of 80-plus power generation plants across eight states in the West and Midwest.

She is also leading Xcel Energy’s “Steel for Fuel” portfolio, a project that has helped double Xcel’s wind fleet in four years with six new wind projects that provide power to roughly 1 million homes; by the end of 2021, Randolph will help complete another seven wind projects. This new wind portfolio is a critical element in achieving the company’s commitment to an 80 percent carbon reduction by 2030.
