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 recently issued its Corporate Sustainability Report (CSR), in which it announced its goal to cut carbon emissions by 80 percent and eliminate all existing coal from its energy mix by 2050. The company stated in prior reports it would decrease water supply needs from fossil-fueled generation by 75 percent and proceed on a path to make renewables the sources of more than 30 percent of its energy mix by 2030. The CSR also highlights the company’s plans to invest $2 billion in renewable energy by 2021, primarily by doubling the number of its wind farms.
Alliant Energy is finding innovative ways to provide its customers with more sustainable energy resources, including through electrification.
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.
Alliant Energy offers rebates for the purchase of an electric vehicle (EV), truck refrigeration unit or forklift and for the installation of a public or workplace electric charging station. The company also works with its customers to provide custom rebates for additional commercial and industrial technologies.
Alliant Energy has provided nearly 60 rebates for new and used electric vehicle purchases in 2018. The company has approved 35 commercial electric charger installation rebates since 2017, resulting in more than 45 additional charging ports.
Alliant Energy has installed 18 workplace electric vehicle charging stations at its Madison headquarters, as well as numerous solar structures and a battery energy storage system. The company is diligently working with communities and businesses in its service area to expand charging infrastructure to support the increasing number of EVs hitting the highways.
Alliant Energy continues to improve how it manages waste as the company retrofits, expands and decommissions its facilities. The company’s large construction contracts require contractors to reduce landfill waste by 75 percent. The company reduced landfill waste by 85 percent for all large projects in 2017 by diverting more than 16,000 tons of metal, wood, concrete asphalt and other waste materials from landfills.
Alliant Energy was recognized in 2016 and 2017 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 36 Wisconsin Green Masters, an honor that distinguishes the top 20 percent of applicants.
