Our Clean Energy Blueprint is our roadmap to accelerate our transition to renewable energy and diversify our energy mix across Iowa and Wisconsin.
A diverse energy mix means using a variety of generation sources, including wind, solar, hydropower and natural gas, as well as battery storage, to deliver the reliable energy our customers count on. Our investments in renewable sources and energy storage are expected to save customers hundreds of millions of dollars over the next few decades and ensure we meet growing energy demands.
We are also investing in our distribution system to create smarter, more adaptable infrastructure that supports evolving energy technologies and increases resiliency against changing climate conditions.

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.

Chart percentages reflect approximate electricity generation capacity in megawatts (MW) determined from owned electric generation resources and various purchase power agreements (PPAs.) This includes utility fixed-term contracts, Alliant Energy renewable programs (Customer-Hosted Renewables, Community Solar, Renewable Energy Partner), Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) resources from non-utility power producers and other distributed energy resources based on these renewable energy agreements. Capacity values for 2023 are as of fiscal year-end and 2030 projections are as of June 2024. Future projections are subject to change and Alliant Energy undertakes no obligation to update publicly such statements to reflect subsequent events of obligations. Actual Energy in megawatt-hours (MWh) to serve customer load will differ from the approximate capacity (MW) shown above due to participation in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) regional energy markets.
