Jacobs Announced as Program Manager and Owners Engineer for Xcel Energy
Leading execution of major program of critical transmission, distribution and generation projects in North and Central US DALLAS, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) was selected as Program Manager and Owners Engineer to support Xcel Energy in providing customers with safe and reliable energy services at a competitive price, while meeting the specifications needed for a low-carbon future. Xcel Energy is a critical energy provider to millions of homes and businesses across eight Western and Midwestern states. In the coming years, Xcel Energy is looking to implement a step-change in its capital program and is working with Jacobs to establish a Central Program Office and Major Projects Group in support of delivery of a multi-billion-dollar program of projects. Jacobs will execute a portfolio of Xcel Energy's projects, develop recommendations for project selection and standardize, deploy and transfer knowledge to Xcel Energy employees. Creating and maintaining core capital delivery standards will enable consistent execution for Xcel Energy's portfolio of transmission, distribution and generation projects. 'This program continues Jacobs' relationship with Xcel Energy in delivering capital projects, upgrading utility infrastructure and supporting future load demand requirements,' said Jacobs Executive Vice President Fiachra Ó Cléirigh. 'Our transmission and distribution, generation and program management experience across the U.S., U.K., and Asia-Pacific will support Xcel Energy as they provide reliable energy services for their consumers.' 'In October 2024, Xcel Energy announced a $45 billion investment plan to make our grid cleaner, stronger and more efficient, ensuring we can meet unprecedented growth in our customers' demand for electricity while keeping their bills as low as possible,' said Xcel Energy Senior Vice President of Customer Delivery Michael Lamb. 'Our country's energy grid faces the biggest transition in a century. We will meet this historic moment by powering new technologies, U.S. manufacturing expansion, and the electrification of vehicles, homes and businesses.' Xcel Energy's investment plan focuses on strengthening the resiliency of its transmission and distribution systems while adding carbon-free and always-available energy generation resources. By doing so, the company will continue to deliver energy to customers when and where they need it. This program adds to other recent program management and owners engineer wins across Jacobs' energy market, such as serving as program manager for California hydrogen hub, Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) and delivering engineering services for MTerra Solar in the Philippines, which is poised to become one of the world's largest solar farms when complete.
