An Xcel Energy spokesman issued a statement Friday afternoon following the reports of drones flying over the Prairie Island Nuclear plant last Wednesday night.


Theo Keith, Senior Media Relations Representative, released this:


"The safety and security of our employees and communities is our top priority.


We are aware of drones flying over multiple properties in the area, including near our Prairie Island plant. 


We reported the incident to law enforcement and will continue working closely with them.


Our nuclear team follows industry safety protocols and best practices to continue to keep our employees and communities safe."


Red Wing Police Chief, Nick Sather, says they have notified the FAA of the sightings. They have jurisdiction over the airspace of the plant.
