Xcel Energy Inc. (XEL) filed an 8-K report on October 27, 2000, disclosing key forward-looking statements and strategic priorities to be presented to the financial community on October 31, 2000.

Key priorities for 2001 include achieving an earnings per share of $2.20, realizing merger synergies, supporting and capturing value from NRG Energy, and an authorized secondary equity offering by NRG of up to $600 million.
