You pay for electricity based on how much you use. Small changes can make a big difference.

Use LED lightbulbs instead of incandescent bulbs. You could save as much as $75 a year! LEDs last a long time, so don’t forget to take them with you when you leave!
Buy a smart power strip to automatically power down devices that aren’t in use.
Lower your thermostat by 10 degrees if you’re going out of town for the weekend.

Power outages

They don’t happen often. If you ever do find yourself in the dark, here’s what to know:

Your meter reports power outages automatically to Alliant Energy, so you don’t have to.
For information about when your power will be back on, use the outage map at alliantenergy.com/outage.
If you have an emergency, like a downed power line or gas odor, call us at 1-800-ALLIANT (800-255-4268).

When it's time to move out

You can stop service online through My Account.
