Where we are going
We are modernizing our electric generating fleet by retiring aging coal plants, and constructing new natural gas and renewable energy resources, including wind facilities. Our values guide our business, and being good stewards of the environment is fundamental to everything we do. 

We are committed to serving our customers with safe, reliable and affordable energy in a manner that safeguards our natural resources. We do this because it’s the right thing to do - for generations to come. 
Who we are today
We are privileged to provide electricity and natural gas to more than 1.27 million customers in eight states - across hundreds of miles - in the small towns, rural communities and growing cities we call home. We are community members in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. 

Building on our legacy of service, we remain focused on meeting our customers’ needs while being mindful of the broader economic, social and environmental impacts of our business.
Vision, mission and values
At Black Hills Corporation, we emphasize the traits that have contributed to our success in the past, and will be critical to our success in the future.

Vision: We strive to “be the energy partner of choice.” Whether our customers are served by our regulated or non-regulated businesses, we want them to value our service and business relationship.

Mission: Every day, we want to be “improving life with energy.” We produce, market and deliver the vital electricity, coal, oil and natural gas that our customers need. Through our efforts, products and services, we also share our personal energy to strengthen our communities and support growth and development.

Values: We are proud of our employees, and feel they represent what we as a company stand for. There are several key values that have been fundamental to our success, and there are others that will be vital to our future success. These are the values we feel align us to our vision and are demonstrated by Black Hills employees.
Diversity and belonging
Message from CEO, Linn Evans - "We are focused on diversity and inclusion to ensure that employees from all backgrounds are successful. By doing so, we move toward our vision of creating a thriving workforce, which is best able to support our communities, our customers and our shareholders. We believe in the transformative power of diversity, inclusion and belonging.

Belonging at Black Hills Energy - Employee resource groups (ERGs) are a vital part of our culture.
