Clean energy vision and goals

Our Clean Energy Vision Goals*


Alliant Energy's environmental stewardship is focused on meeting its customers' energy needs affordably, safely, reliably, and sustainably. Our voluntary goals include:

By 2030: 

  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our utility operations by 50% from 2005 levels.
  • Reduce our electric utility water supply by 75% from 2005 levels.
  • Electrify 100% of our company-owned light-duty fleet vehicles.

By 2040:

  • Eliminate all coal from our generation fleet.

By 2050:

  • Aspire to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from our utility operations.

We will continue to review and update our goals based on future economic developments, evolving energy technologies and emerging trends in the communities we serve.

*Alliant Energy’s voluntary goals include direct Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions that are reportable to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (40 CFR Part 98: Subparts C, D, and W) including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) from owned fossil-fueled electric generation and natural gas distribution operations.
