Black Hills Corporation (NYSE: BKH) is a regulated electric and natural gas utility company headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota, operating through two main segments: Electric Utilities and Gas Utilities. The electric segment generates, transmits, and distributes electricity across Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming, while also owning non-regulated power generation and mining assets including a coal mine near Gillette, Wyoming. The gas segment distributes natural gas across six states to roughly 1.138 million customers, supported by an extensive intrastate pipeline, distribution main, storage, and gathering network.
In addition to its core regulated operations, Black Hills offers non-regulated services such as home appliance repair plans (Service Guard), infrastructure construction and maintenance (Tech Services), and additional home repair plans for natural gas customers (HomeServe). The company also generates electricity from wind, natural gas, and coal-fired facilities. As a multi-utility operating in multiple state jurisdictions, Black Hills is subject to state-level rate regulation by public utility commissions, which generally provides predictable and stable cash flows tied to its rate base, while its diversified electric and gas footprint helps balance seasonal and geographic demand patterns.
