Alliant Energy
Alliant Energy — headquartered in Madison – is a Wisconsin Clean Cities member at the Platinum Level. The company serves more than 1 million customers in Wisconsin and Iowa.
Alliant Energy’s vision embraces advancing clean energy. This aligns with the company’s core value to “Act for Tomorrow” by using resources wisely, caring for the environment and continuously improving. It works to find innovative ways to operate more efficiently by providing flexible energy resources and addressing environmental challenges.
The company is committed to its goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent and eliminating all coal from its energy mix by 2050 with the help of a $2 billion investment in renewable energy by 2021 that includes doubling its wind farms.
Alliant Energy’s Second Nature program enables customers to take advantage of earth-friendly, renewable energy produced from local wind, solar and bioenergy generators. When customers participate, they’re helping to displace electricity that would otherwise come from sources like coal, natural gas and nuclear power and to improve air quality.
Just one household participating in Alliant Energy’s Second Nature program at the 100% level reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 8.6 metric tons per year. That’s equivalent to taking almost two passenger cars off the road for one year.
Customers sign up to use renewable power in amounts equal to 25%, 50% or 100% of their electric usage. A few dollars per month can make a big difference.
The energy for Second Nature customers comes primarily from wind farms in Hancock County, Iowa, and Dodge County, Wisconsin. The remainder comes from a landfill gas generator in Janesville, Wisconsin and new solar projects in Wisconsin and Iowa.
The Second Nature program is Green-e® Energy certified and meets the environmental and consumer-protection standards set forth by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions.
The company’s Electrification program educates and encourages customers to convert to electric-powered transportation and technologies through a variety of incentives. Making the switch from diesel, propane or gasoline to electric will save customers money and create a more sustainable future.
A number of financial incentives and rebates are available on the purchase of electric vehicles and installation of charging stations and are detailed on the Alliant Energy Electrification Webpage.
Alliant Energy was recognized in 2016, 2017 and 2018 as a “Green Master,” the highest level in the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council’s Green Masters Program. The program assesses Wisconsin businesses interested in improving and being recognized for their sustainability initiatives. The company joined a select group of just 32 Wisconsin Green Masters, an honor that distinguishes the top 20 percent of applicants.
