On January 19, 2010, the Iowa Utilites Board (IUB) issued its written decision on IPL's request to change its electric rates. The IUB's decision struck a balance between mitigating cost impact on customers and our commitment to serve.
The IUB approved no additional changes to interim rates that were implemented in March 2009 ($84 million or approximately 8 percent).
However, the IUB approved increased funding for transmission costs, as well as recovery of Sutherland Generating Station Unit 4 cancellation costs through the use of funds previously set aside when IPL sold its nuclear generating facility and transmission system.
