Data centers in the U.S. could consume as much electricity by 2030 as some entire industrialized economies. The power demand from data centers is expected to soar just as a growing number of coal plants are retired as part of the transition away from fossil fuels.

XEL makes a strong case for investment given its growth prospects, strong ROE, highly efficient operations and capability to increase shareholders' value through dividend payouts.

Xcel Energy is a utility company providing electricity and natural gas to eight states, with a focus on clean energy transition. The company has successfully kept bills low for customers while growing revenue, leveraging its advantageous location for clean energy generation. Despite facing challenges with declining revenue and free cash flow, Xcel Energy remains a strong player in the utility industry.

Xcel Energy is the 9th largest US utility, with a market cap of $33.4 billion. Its markets include the major cities of Denver and Minneapolis. The company faces unknown wildfire liabilities in Texas and Colorado that will go to trial in 2025. I believe these liabilities will have a controlled, moderate impact on valuation. XEL has now implemented proactive fire prevention measures, including AI cameras and undergrounding wires, to help with its west of Mississippi location.

Investors interested in Utility - Electric Power stocks are likely familiar with Xcel Energy (XEL) and PSEG (PEG). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now?
