Alliant Energy Corporation is a regulated utility holding company that delivers electricity and natural gas to retail and wholesale customers across the U.S. Midwest, operating through two main segments: Iowa-based IPL and Wisconsin-based WPL. IPL distributes electricity and natural gas in Iowa and sells wholesale power to customers in Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa, while also supplying steam to industrial customers in Cedar Rapids. WPL provides electricity and natural gas services within Wisconsin. The company serves a diverse customer base spanning farming, agriculture, industrial manufacturing, chemical, packaging, and food industries, alongside wholesale clients such as municipalities and rural electric cooperatives. As a regulated electric utility, Alliants rates and service territory are overseen by state public utility commissions in Iowa and Wisconsin, which typically provide predictable, formula-based or rate-base-linked returns.
In addition to its core utility operations, Alliant Energy owns non-regulated businesses including a short-line rail freight service in Iowa, a Mississippi River barge/rail/truck terminal in Illinois, freight brokerage, wind turbine blade recycling, and a rail-served warehouse. The company also holds partial interests in a natural gas-fired generating unit near Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, and a wind farm in Oklahoma, reflecting partial diversification into renewable generation. Formerly known as Interstate Energy Corp., the company adopted its current name in May 1999 and is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.
