Alliant Energy Corporation stands as a pivotal utility holding entity, providing regulated electricity and natural gas services across the United States. The corporation is structured into three main operational segments: Utility Electric Operations, Utility Gas Operations, and Utility Other. Initiated under the name Interstate Energy Corp., it rebranded to Alliant Energy Corporation in May 1999 and was incorporated in 1981. Its headquarters are located in Madison, Wisconsin. Alliant Energy, through its diversified portfolio and strategic subsidiaries—Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL) and Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL)—ensures the delivery of critical energy services to a wide range of retail and wholesale customers stretching across Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. Engaging in the generation, distribution, and transportation of electricity and natural gas, Alliant Energy also participates in ancillary operations, enhancing its value chain within the energy sector.
Alliant Energy, via IPL, generates and distributes electricity to retail customers mainly in Iowa, alongside providing wholesale electric services to Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa. Additionally, WPL focuses on generating and distributing electricity to both retail and wholesale customers in Wisconsin. These operations are central to Alliant Energy’s commitment to serving the energy needs of its customer base.
Both IPL and WPL facilitate the distribution and transportation of natural gas to retail customers, covering areas in Iowa and Wisconsin respectively. This ensures a reliable supply of natural gas to meet heating, cooking, and industrial fuel needs across their service territories.
In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, IPL is involved in the generation and distribution of steam, adding a unique aspect to Alliant Energy’s suite of energy solutions.
Alliant Energy has shown a commitment to sustainable energy projects, holding interests in a natural gas-fired electric generating unit in Wisconsin and a wind farm in Oklahoma. These initiatives align with the growing demand for clean energy solutions.
The company also diversifies its operations into auxiliary services, including ownership and operation of a short-line rail freight service in Iowa, a barge, rail, and truck freight terminal along the Mississippi River in Illinois, and freight brokerage services. Moreover, it provides wind turbine blade recycling services and operates a rail-served warehouse in Iowa. These auxiliary operations support the core energy generation and distribution services, adding depth to Alliant Energy’s market presence.
