Building for the future

The Midwest is emerging as a hub for innovation, technology and new opportunities. Across Iowa and Wisconsin, communities are growing. Reliable energy is one of the critical services making that growth possible.

We’re advancing responsible energy resources and modernizing our infrastructure to meet growing demand. Our balanced approach combines new, renewable and traditional energy sources. This ensures cost-effective and reliable energy, while preparing our energy system for the future.

Reliability

We’re modernizing and upgrading our energy system to meet customers’ needs today while preparing for the future.

These investments strengthen the grid – improving reliability, efficiency and overall performance.

Cost

New and expanding businesses increase the demand for energy. This helps distribute costs more efficiently, helps stabilize rates and keeps energy bills as low as possible for all customers.

Growth also expands funding for energy efficiency programs. This creates more options for customers to save energy and lower their bills.

Community

Energy system improvements strengthen local economies by creating jobs, increasing tax revenue and allowing for new and expanding business growth. All of this keeps communities strong and vibrant.

Growing stronger – together


We meet demand with our balanced resources, strengthen grid reliability and invest in innovative solutions that benefit all customers. Each improvement we make creates value beyond the energy we deliver. It supports business growth, enhances local infrastructure and improves the quality of life in the communities we serve.

Working closely with community leaders, regulators and other partners, we ensure our energy plans align with local priorities to help both rural and urban areas grow stronger.

Each improvement we make creates value beyond the energy we deliver.

Infrastructure

Modern energy systems improve resilience, reduce outages and are built with long-term needs in mind.

Rate stability and cost

When more customers use our energy system, the overall costs of maintaining poles, wires and other infrastructure are shared across more customers. This helps keep rates stable and energy costs as low as possible for everyone.

Powering progress for everyone


When new large businesses join our energy system, they help strengthen it, not strain it.

To ensure large energy users pay for the additional investments needed to serve them, we created a customized rate for large energy users.

We worked with regulators to develop this customized rate, so that large energy users pay their fair share of system costs, allowing us to make improvements that benefit all customers.

By expanding capacity and ensuring costs are appropriately aligned, we can manage growth responsibly, reduce volatility and keep bills as low as possible now and into the future. It is a balanced approach that supports a stable and strong energy future for everyone.
