Energy Blueprint

Advancing our balanced energy mix


The Energy Blueprint is our roadmap for building a strong and resilient energy future to meet the growing energy needs across Iowa and Wisconsin.

Our long-term plan expands generation capacity and includes a balanced mix of wind, solar, hydropower, natural gas, coal and energy storage. It is designed to deliver the reliable, cost-effective energy customers count on. By combining new and renewable energy sources while maximizing traditional energy sources, we’re helping support economic growth, maintain reliability and keep customer bills as low as possible.

At the same time, we are modernizing our distribution system to create a smarter, more adaptable infrastructure that increases resiliency and supports evolving energy technologies.

By advancing our responsible approach to energy resources, we can deliver what matters most to our customers and the communities we serve – reliably, safely and responsibly.

A message from Lisa


At Alliant Energy, we believe energy isn’t just about power – it’s about delivering the energy needed to power homes, businesses and the lives that make the communities we serve so special.

For more than 100 years, our dedicated employees have delivered on our Purpose – to serve customers and build stronger communities. Our role is evolving and our Purpose is taking on even greater meaning as we help shape the future of energy and fuel the vitality of the communities we call home.

As technology use grows, energy demand is surging. Alliant Energy is ready. We are modernizing our energy infrastructure and advancing responsible solutions. Our “all of the above” energy mix balances new energy technology with traditional sources to deliver the reliable, responsible and affordable energy that matters most to those we are so privileged to serve.

Our Energy Blueprint provides a roadmap – it guides how we modernize our infrastructure and integrate our generation sources. Following this blueprint ensures we invest in long-term system reliability so power is there when needed – and bills remain as affordable and predictable as possible.

At Alliant Energy, we are growing and will continue to grow at the pace of our customers and communities! We’re clear about what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and how it benefits those we serve. By powering opportunity, we’re helping build stronger, more resilient communities for generations to come. From data center development to local investments in smart energy solutions, every step we take is grounded in trust, transparency and measurable value.

  • 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.

*Increasing customer energy needs, reliability and resource adequacy requirements, and tax policy changes may result in delays in achieving, or revisions to, our goals. The ability to achieve our goals is subject to various additional risk factors as described in our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-K. Goals are not to be considered guidance.

**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.
