Construction of Sutherland Generating Station Unit 4, which a hybrid generating station capable of producing enough energy to power approximately 472,500 homes and businesses.
- Sutherland Generating Station is a baseload facility, which will provide energy to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- The facility’s design allows the new unit to be carbon capture ready.
- The generating station will also be able to burn renewable fuels, such as switchgrass, corn stover or other agriculturally based products, further benefiting our environment.
- The facility will be built next to the existing Sutherland Generating Station Units 1, 2 and 3 in Marshalltown, Iowa.
- IPL will use up to 350 MW of the generating station’s capacity and will make the remaining capacity available to other Iowa utility partners.
Addition of company-owned wind generation that is expected to provide enough energy to power 50,000 homes and businesses.
Continued focus on innovative and aggressive energy efficiency programs.
