FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this report that are not of historical fact are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified as such because the statements include words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “projections,” “estimate,” or other words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe future financial performance or plans or strategies are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL that could materially affect actual results include:
•
the direct or indirect effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccine mandates and testing requirements, on sales volumes, margins, operations, employees, contractors, vendors, the ability to complete construction projects, supply chains, customers’ inability to pay bills, suspension of disconnects, the market value of the assets that fund pension plans and the potential for additional funding requirements, the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations, compliance with regulatory requirements, the ability to implement regulatory plans, economic conditions and access to capital markets;
•
the impact of penalties or third-party claims related to, or in connection with, a failure to maintain the security of personally identifiable information, including associated costs to notify affected persons and to mitigate their information security concerns;
•
the direct or indirect effects resulting from terrorist incidents, including physical attacks and cyber attacks, or responses to such incidents;
•
the impact of customer- and third party-owned generation, including alternative electric suppliers, in IPL’s and WPL’s service territories on system reliability, operating expenses and customers’ demand for electricity;
•
the impact of energy efficiency, franchise retention and customer disconnects on sales volumes and margins;
•
the impact that price changes may have on IPL’s and WPL’s customers’ demand for electric, gas and steam services and their ability to pay their bills;
•
IPL’s and WPL’s ability to obtain adequate and timely rate relief to allow for, among other things, the recovery of and/or the return on costs, including fuel costs, operating costs, transmission costs, deferred expenditures, deferred tax assets, tax expense, capital expenditures, and remaining costs related to EGUs that may be permanently closed and certain other retired assets, decreases in sales volumes, earning their authorized rates of return, and the payments to their parent of expected levels of dividends;
•
federal and state regulatory or governmental actions, including the impact of legislation, and regulatory agency orders;
•
the ability to utilize tax credits and net operating losses generated to date, and those that may be generated in the future, before they expire;

issues associated with environmental remediation and environmental compliance, including compliance with all environmental and emissions permits, the Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, future changes in environmental laws and regulations, including federal, state or local regulations for carbon dioxide emissions reductions from new and existing fossil-fueled EGUs, and litigation associated with environmental requirements;
•
increased pressure from customers, investors and other stakeholders to more rapidly reduce carbon dioxide emissions;
•
the ability to defend against environmental claims brought by state and federal agencies, such as the EPA, state natural resources agencies or third parties, such as the Sierra Club, and the impact on operating expenses of defending and resolving such claims;
•
continued access to the capital markets on competitive terms and rates, and the actions of credit rating agencies;
•
inflation and interest rates;
•
the ability to complete construction of solar generation projects within the cost targets set by regulators due to cost increases of materials, equipment and commodities including due to tariffs, labor issues or supply shortages, the ability to achieve the expected level of tax benefits based on tax guidelines and project costs, and the ability to efficiently utilize the solar generation project tax benefits for the benefit of customers;
•
disruptions to the supply of materials, equipment and commodities needed to construct solar generation projects, including due to shortages, labor issues or transportation issues, which may impact the ability to meet capacity requirements and result in increased capacity expense;

COMBINED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1(a) General -
The interim unaudited Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2020
Form 10-K
.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which unless otherwise noted are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
A change in management’s estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such change occurred.
Certain prior period amounts in the Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes.
NOTE 1(b) Asset Impairments -
Property, Plant and Equipment of Regulated Operations
-
In the second quarter of 2021, WPL received approval from MISO to retire Columbia Units 1 and 2, which had a net book value of approximately $
470
million in aggregate as of September 30, 2021, and currently anticipates retiring Columbia Unit 1 by the end of 2023 and Columbia Unit 2 by the end of 2024. Alliant Energy and WPL concluded that Columbia Units 1 and 2 met the criteria to be considered probable of abandonment as of September 30, 2021. WPL is currently allowed a full recovery of and a full return on these EGUs from both its retail and wholesale customers, and as a result, Alliant Energy and WPL concluded that no disallowance was required as of September 30, 2021.

Commodity cost recovery -
In February 2021, portions of the central and southern U.S., including Alliant Energy’s service territories, experienced a prolonged period of very cold temperatures and a series of winter storms. These events created significant volatility and increases in commodity prices caused by higher demand for electricity and natural gas and disruptions in commodity supply, resulting in IPL under-recovering its natural gas costs. In March 2021, IPL received approval from the IUB to spread recovery of these higher natural gas costs from its retail customers through December 2021. As of September 30, 2021, IPL’s cumulative under-collection of natural gas costs was $
15
million. The extreme temperatures in February 2021 did not impact WPL’s natural gas costs and IPL’s and WPL’s fuel-related costs to the extent of IPL’s natural gas costs.
The cost recovery mechanism for WPL’s retail electric customers is based on forecasts of certain fuel-related costs expected to be incurred during forward-looking test periods and fuel monitoring ranges determined by the PSCW during each retail electric rate proceeding or in a separate fuel cost plan approval proceeding. In 2021, WPL’s actual fuel-related costs fell outside these fuel monitoring ranges, resulting in a $
12
million deferral as of September 30, 2021.

Tax-related
- Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s tax-related regulatory liabilities are primarily related to excess deferred tax benefits resulting from the remeasurement of accumulated deferred income taxes caused by Federal Tax Reform. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s tax-related regulatory liabilities decreased primarily due to returning a portion of these excess deferred tax benefits back to customers.
NOTE 3.
RECEIVABLES
Sales of Accounts Receivable
-
IPL maintains a Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement (Receivables Agreement) whereby it may sell its customer accounts receivables, unbilled revenues and certain other accounts receivables to a third party through wholly-owned and consolidated special purpose entities. The transfers of receivables meet the criteria for sale accounting established by the transfer of financial assets accounting rules. In April 2021, IPL amended and extended through March 2023 the purchase commitment from the third party to which it sells its receivables. Effective April 2021, the limit on cash proceeds is $
110
million. As of September 30, 2021, IPL had $
60
million of available capacity under its sales of accounts receivable program.
IPL’s maximum and average outstanding cash proceeds (based on daily outstanding balances) related to the sales of accounts receivable program for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows (in millions):

INCOME TAXES
Income Tax Rates
-
Overall effective income tax rates, which were computed by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes, were as follows. The effective income tax rates were different than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, production tax credits, amortization of excess deferred taxes and the effect of rate-making on property-related differences. The decreases in Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s overall effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 were primarily due to increased amortization of excess deferred taxes primarily at WPL, which were used to offset increases in WPL’s 2021 increased revenue requirements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s derivative assets increased and derivative liabilities decreased primarily as a result of higher natural gas prices. Based on IPL’s and WPL’s natural gas cost recovery mechanisms, this resulted in corresponding decreases in derivative regulatory assets and increases in derivative regulatory liabilities on the balance sheets.
Credit Risk-related Contingent Features -
Various agreements contain credit risk-related contingent features, including requirements to maintain certain credit ratings and/or limitations on liability positions under the agreements based on credit ratings. Certain of these agreements with credit risk-related contingency features are accounted for as derivative instruments. In the event of a material change in creditworthiness or if liability positions exceed certain contractual limits, credit support may need to be provided in the form of letters of credit or cash collateral up to the amount of exposure under the contracts, or the contracts may need to be unwound and underlying liability positions paid. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a net liability position was not materially different than amounts that would be required to be posted as credit support to counterparties by Alliant Energy, IPL
19
Table of Contents
or WPL if the most restrictive credit risk-related contingent features for derivative agreements in a net liability position were triggered.
Balance Sheet Offsetting
- The fair value amounts of derivative instruments subject to a master netting arrangement are not netted by counterparty on the balance sheets. However, if the fair value amounts of derivative instruments by counterparty were netted, amounts would not be materially different from gross amounts of derivative assets and derivative liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (payable) are not offset against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement.

NOTE 14(c) Guarantees and Indemnifications -
Whiting Petroleum
-
Whiting Petroleum is an independent oil and gas company. In 2004, Alliant Energy sold its remaining interest in Whiting Petroleum. Alliant Energy Resources, LLC, as the successor to a predecessor entity that owned Whiting Petroleum, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF, continues to guarantee the partnership obligations of an affiliate of Whiting Petroleum under multiple general partnership agreements in the oil and gas industry. The guarantees do not include a maximum limit. Based on information made available to Alliant Energy by Whiting Petroleum, the Whiting Petroleum affiliate holds an approximate
6
% share in the partnerships, and currently known obligations include costs associated with the future abandonment of certain facilities owned by the partnerships. The general partnerships were formed under California law, and Alliant Energy Resources, LLC may need to perform under the guarantees if the affiliate of Whiting Petroleum is unable to meet its partnership obligations.
As of September 30, 2021, the currently known partnership obligations for the abandonment obligations are estimated at $
68
million, which represents Alliant Energy’s currently estimated maximum exposure under the guarantees. Alliant Energy estimates its expected loss to be a portion of the $
68
million of known partnership abandonment obligations of the Whiting Petroleum affiliate and the other partners. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay; however, as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, a liability of $
5
million is recorded in “Other liabilities” on Alliant Energy’s balance sheets for expected credit losses related to the contingent obligations that are in the scope of these guarantees.
Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma
-
In 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a cash equity ownership interest in a non-utility wind farm located in Oklahoma. The wind farm provides electricity to a third party under a long-term PPA. Alliant Energy provided a parent guarantee of its subsidiary’s indemnification obligations under the related operating agreement and PPA. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the operating agreement were $
67
million as of September 30, 2021 and will reduce annually until expiring in July 2047. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the PPA are subject to a maximum limit of $
17
million and expire in December 2031, subject to potential extension. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to this guarantee that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to this guarantee as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
NOTE 14(d) Environmental Matters -
Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Sites
-
IPL and WPL have current or previous ownership interests in various sites that are previously associated with the production of gas for which IPL and WPL have, or may have in the future, liability for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs. IPL and WPL are working pursuant to the requirements of various federal and state agencies to investigate, mitigate, prevent and remediate, where necessary, the environmental impacts to property, including natural resources, at and around these former MGP sites in order to protect public health and the environment.
At September 30, 2021, estimated future costs expected to be incurred for the investigation, remediation and monitoring of the MGP sites, as well as environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheets for these sites, which are not discounted, were as follows (in millions). At September 30, 2021, such amounts for WPL were not material.

IPL Consent Decree
- In 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa approved a Consent Decree that IPL entered into with the EPA, the Sierra Club, the State of Iowa and Linn County in Iowa, thereby resolving potential Clean Air Act issues associated with emissions from IPL’s coal-fired generating facilities in Iowa. IPL has completed various requirements under the Consent Decree. IPL’s remaining requirements include fuel switching or retiring Burlington by December 31, 2021 and Prairie Creek Units 1 and 3 by December 31, 2025. Alliant Energy and IPL currently expect to recover material costs incurred by IPL related to compliance with the terms of the Consent Decree from IPL’s electric customers.
Other Environmental Contingencies
-
In addition to the environmental liabilities discussed above, various environmental rules are monitored that may have a significant impact on future operations. Several of these environmental rules are subject to legal challenges, reconsideration and/or other uncertainties. Given uncertainties regarding the outcome, timing and compliance plans for these environmental matters, the complete financial impact of each of these rules is not able to be determined; however, future capital investments and/or modifications to EGUs and electric and gas distribution systems to comply with certain of these rules could be significant. Specific current, proposed or potential environmental matters include, among others: Effluent Limitation Guidelines, Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, and various legislation and EPA regulations to monitor and regulate the emission of greenhouse gases, including the Clean Air Act.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This MDA includes information relating to Alliant Energy, and IPL and WPL (collectively, the Utilities), as well as ATC Holdings, AEF and Corporate Services. Where appropriate, information relating to a specific entity has been segregated and labeled as such. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements
and the
Notes
included in this report, as well as the financial statements, notes and MDA included in the 2020
Form 10-K
. Unless otherwise noted, all “per share” references in MDA refer to earnings per diluted share.
2021 HIGHLIGHTS
Key highlights since the filing of the 2020
Form 10-K
include the following:
Customer Investments (refer to “
Customer Investments
” for details):
•
In March 2021, WPL filed its second Certificate of Authority with the PSCW for approval to acquire, construct, own, and operate up to 414 MW of new solar generation in various Wisconsin counties.
•
In June 2021, WPL received an order from the PSCW for its first Certificate of Authority authorizing WPL to acquire, own and operate 675 MW of new solar generation in various Wisconsin counties.
•
In November 2021, IPL filed for advance rate-making principles with the IUB for up to 400 MW of new solar generation and up to 75 MW of new battery storage.
Rate Matters:
•
In May 2021, WPL filed a proposed settlement with the PSCW for annual base rate increases of $70 million and $15 million for WPL’s retail electric and gas customers, respectively, covering the 2022/2023 forward-looking Test Period, which was based on a stipulated agreement between WPL and certain intervenor groups. In November 2021, WPL filed updated information with the PSCW to reflect anticipated increases in retail fuel-related costs in 2022. As a result, annual rates for WPL’s retail electric customers are currently expected to increase by an additional $45 million in 2022, for a total of $115 million. The key drivers for the proposed annual base rate increases include lower excess deferred income tax benefits in 2022 and 2023 and revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric and gas rate base, including investments in solar generation. In addition, the settlement proposes WPL maintain its current authorized return on common equity of 10%, implement a 54% common equity component of regulatory capital structure, as well as receive a recovery of and a return on the remaining net book value of Edgewater Unit 5, which is currently expected to be retired by the end of 2022. WPL currently expects any rate changes granted from this request to be effective on January 1, 2022 and extend through the end of 2023.
•
In June 2021, the IUB adopted new rules that establish minimum filing requirements for rate reviews using a forward-looking test period, and the related subsequent proceeding review after the close of the forward-looking test period. The rules provide that in the subsequent proceeding review, a utility’s actual costs and revenues shall be presumed to be reasonably consistent with the forward-looking test period if the utility’s actual return on common equity falls within a standard of reasonableness of 50 basis points above to 50 basis points below the authorized return on common equity. If the utility’s actual return on common equity is outside of this range, future rates could be adjusted.
•
In August 2021, the IUB issued an order for IPL’s 2020 forward-looking Test Period gas subsequent proceeding, authorizing IPL to maintain its current retail gas rates.
•
In November 2021, the IUB issued an order for IPL’s 2020 forward-looking Test Period electric subsequent proceeding, authorizing IPL to maintain its current retail electric rates.
Legislative Matters:
•
In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Act) was enacted. The most significant provision of the Act for Alliant Energy is reduced minimum pension plan funding requirements, which Alliant Energy adopted in August 2021. The Act also provides additional funding to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which assists certain of Alliant Energy’s customers with managing their energy costs, as well as provides financial support for certain of Alliant Energy’s residential, small business and non-profit customers.
•
In April 2021, legislation was enacted in Iowa prohibiting counties and cities from regulating the sale of natural gas and propane, which supports IPL’s ability to provide gas utility service to a diversified base of retail customers and industries.

Financings and Common Stock Dividends:
•
In September 2021, WPL issued $300 million of 1.95% debentures due 2031. The debentures were issued as green bonds, and an amount equal to or in excess of the net proceeds will be disbursed for the construction and development of WPL’s wind and solar EGUs.
•
Refer to “
Results
of Operations
” for discussion of expected issuances of common stock dividends and expected future issuances and retirements of long-term debt by the end of 2022.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of operations include financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as utility electric margins and utility gas margins, which are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Utility electric margins are defined as electric revenues less electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses. Utility gas margins are defined as gas revenues less cost of gas sold. Utility electric margins and utility gas margins are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude other utility and non-utility revenues, other operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and taxes other than income tax expense.
Management believes that utility electric and gas margins provide a meaningful basis for evaluating and managing utility operations since electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses and cost of gas sold are generally passed through to customers, and therefore, result in changes to electric and gas revenues that are comparable to changes in such expenses. The presentation of utility electric and gas margins herein is intended to provide supplemental information for investors regarding operating performance. These utility electric and gas margins may not be comparable to how other entities define utility electric and gas margin. Furthermore, these measures are not intended to replace operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.
Additionally, the table below includes EPS for Utilities and Corporate Services, ATC Holdings, and Non-utility and Parent, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of segment performance and trends, and provide additional information about Alliant Energy’s operations on a basis consistent with the measures that management uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance.
Financial Results Overview

Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services net income increased by $30 million for the three-month period, primarily due to higher earnings resulting from IPL’s and WPL’s increasing rate base, as well as higher sales due in part to the derecho windstorm in Iowa and COVID-19 sales impacts in the third quarter of 2020. These items were partially offset by higher depreciation expense and lower AFUDC.
Alliant Energy’s Non-utility and Parent net income decreased by $20 million for the three-month period, primarily due to an adjustment in 2020 to the credit loss liability related to legacy guarantees associated with an affiliate of Whiting Petroleum and timing of income taxes.

Sales Trends and Temperatures
-
Alliant Energy’s retail electric and gas sales volumes increased 4% and decreased 7%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to COVID-19 impacts in Alliant Energy’s service territories, impacts from the derecho windstorm in IPL’s service territory in August 2020 and changes in temperatures. Alliant Energy’s retail electric and gas sales volumes increased 4% and 2%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to changes in temperatures, COVID-19 impacts in Alliant Energy’s service territories and impacts from the derecho windstorm in IPL’s service territory in August 2020, partially offset by the impact on sales of the additional day due to leap year in 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, changes in COVID-19 impacts resulted in decreases for retail electric residential sales volumes and increases for retail electric commercial and industrial sales.

Electric Sales for Resale
-
Electric sales for resale volume changes were largely due to changes in sales in the wholesale energy markets operated by MISO. These changes are impacted by several factors, including the availability and dispatch of Alliant Energy’s EGUs and electricity demand within these wholesale energy markets. Changes in sales for resale revenues were largely offset by changes in fuel-related costs, and therefore, did not have a significant impact on electric margins.
Gas Transportation/Other
-
Gas transportation/other sales volume changes were largely due to changes in the gas volumes supplied to Alliant Energy’s natural gas-fired EGUs caused by the availability and dispatch of such EGUs. Changes in these transportation/other revenues did not have a significant impact on gas margins.
Utility Electric Margin Variances

IPL’s final retail electric base rate increase was effective February 26, 2020. Effective with final rates, the recovery of, and return on, IPL’s new wind generation placed in service in 2019 and 2020 is provided through the renewable energy rider. The final rate increase includes a reduction for anticipated production tax credits for IPL’s new wind generation. This reduction is expected to be offset by a reduction in income tax expense resulting from production tax credits recognized from this new wind generation. In September 2020, IPL made a buyout payment of $110 million in exchange for shortening the terms of its DAEC PPA by 5 years. The higher revenue requirements from the buyout payment, including a return on such costs, is being recovered from IPL’s retail customers from 2021 through the end of 2025.
(b)
In December 2020, the PSCW issued an order authorizing WPL to maintain its current retail electric base rates through the end of 2021. WPL will utilize anticipated fuel-related cost savings and excess deferred income tax benefits in 2021 to offset the revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric rate base, including the Kossuth wind farm, which was placed in service in October 2020. The lower fuel expense benefits are recognized in electric margin and the additional amount of excess deferred income tax benefits is recognized as a reduction in income tax expense.

Other Future Considerations
-
In addition to items discussed in this report, the following key items could impact Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s future financial condition or results of operations:
•
Financing Plans -
In the fourth quarter of 2021, IPL currently expects to issue up to $300 million of long-term debt and redeem all of its cumulative preferred stock at par value for approximately $200 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends up to the redemption date. WPL and AEF currently expect to issue up to $300 million and $800 million of long-term debt, respectively, in 2022. WPL, AEF and Corporate Services have $250 million, $300 million and $75 million of long-term debt maturing in 2022, respectively. Alliant Energy currently expects to issue approximately $25 million of common stock in 2022 through its Shareowner Direct Plan.
•
Common Stock Dividends -
Alliant Energy announced a 6% increase in its targeted 2022 annual common stock dividend to $1.71 per share, which is equivalent to a quarterly rate of $0.4275 per share, beginning with the February 2022 dividend payment. The timing and amount of future dividends is subject to an approved dividend declaration from Alliant Energy’s Board of Directors, and is dependent upon earnings expectations, capital requirements, and general financial business conditions, among other factors.
•
Higher Earnings on Increasing Rate Base -
Alliant Energy and WPL currently expect an increase in earnings in 2022 compared to 2021 due to impacts from increasing revenue requirements related to investments in the utility business, including WPL’s solar investments. WPL’s increased revenue requirements are expected to be offset by higher income tax expense as a result of lower tax benefits.
•
Other Operation and Maintenance Expenses -
Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect a decrease in other operation and maintenance expenses in 2022 compared to 2021 due to cost reductions resulting from operating efficiencies.
•
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses -
Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses in 2022 compared to 2021 due to property additions, including WPL’s expansion of solar generation.
•
Interest Expense -
Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL currently expect an increase in interest expense in 2022 compared to 2021 due to financings completed in 2021 and planned in 2021 and 2022 as discussed above.
•
Allowance for Funds Used During Construction -
Alliant Energy and WPL currently expect AFUDC to increase in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to increased construction work in progress balances related to WPL’s solar generation.

CUSTOMER INVESTMENTS
Renewable Generation
Alliant Energy’s cleaner energy strategy, or Clean Energy Blueprints, currently includes the planned development and acquisition of additional renewable energy, including approximately 1,100 MW of solar generation at WPL with in-service dates in 2022-2024, approximately 400 MW of solar generation at IPL with in-service dates in 2023-2024 and approximately 75 MW of battery storage in 2024 at IPL. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL continue to evaluate additional opportunities to add more renewable generation, including wind repowering, and additional solar generation and distributed energy resources, including community solar and energy storage systems. Estimated capital expenditures for these projects for 2021 through 2025 are included in the “Renewable projects” line in the construction and acquisition table in “
Liquidity and Capital Resources
.” These estimates include current expectations for higher costs for various projects, as supply constraints and commodity inflation continue to be prevalent in the solar market. In addition, these estimates reflect later expected in-service dates for certain solar projects to reflect the tight market for solar panels. IPL and WPL currently assume that a portion of the construction costs for the new solar generation will be financed by a tax equity partner, which is discussed in “IPL and WPL Solar Project Tax Equity Credits” in “
Liquidity and Capital Resources
.”
WPL’s Solar Generation and Distributed Energy Resources -
In June 2021, WPL received an order from the PSCW for its first Certificate of Authority authorizing WPL to acquire, own and operate 675 MW of new solar generation in the following Wisconsin counties: Grant (200 MW), Sheboygan (150 MW), Wood (150 MW), Jefferson (75 MW), Richland (50 MW) and Rock (50 MW). In July 2021, WPL notified the PSCW that it currently expects estimated construction costs and related rate base additions associated with its 675 MW of new solar generation will exceed amounts approved by the PSCW in June 2021 by approximately 7-10%. In September 2021, WPL filed revised estimated construction costs and related rate base additions for its second Certificate of Authority with the PSCW for approval to acquire, construct, own, and operate up to 414 MW of new solar generation in the following Wisconsin counties: Dodge (150 MW), Waushara (99 MW), Rock (65 MW), Grant (50 MW) and Green (50 MW). These projects are expected to be placed in-service in 2022-2024. The 1,089 MW of new solar generation would replace energy and capacity being eliminated with the planned retirement of the coal-fired Edgewater Generating Station (414 MW) by the end of 2022, and Columbia Unit 1 by the end of 2023 and Columbia Unit 2 by the end of 2024 (595 MW in aggregate), which are the last coal-fired EGUs at WPL. The retirement of these coal-fired EGUs supports Alliant Energy’s strategy, which is focused on meeting its customers’ energy needs in an economical, efficient and sustainable manner. As a result of WPL’s neighboring utilities anticipated exercise of their options to purchase a partial ownership interest in West Riverside, WPL anticipates additional capacity needs by 2024, which may include additional solar generation and distributed energy resources such as community solar and energy storage systems.
IPL’s Solar Generation and Distributed Energy Resources -
In November 2021, IPL filed for advance rate-making principles with the IUB for up to 400 MW of solar generation with in-service dates in 2023 and 2024 and approximately 75 MW of battery storage in 2024. The advance rate-making principles filing included requests for a fixed cost cap of $1,575/kilowatt, including AFUDC and transmission upgrade costs among other costs, and a return on common equity of 11.40%, and proposes that a portion of the construction be financed by tax equity partners. In addition, the filing included a request that any costs incurred in excess of the cost cap be incorporated into rates if determined to be reasonable and prudent. The 400 MW of new solar generation and 75 MW of battery storage would help replace a portion of the energy and capacity expected to be eliminated with the planned retirement of the coal-fired Lansing Generating Station (275 MW) by the end of 2022 and the expected reduction of energy and capacity resulting from the planned fuel switch of the Burlington Generating Station (212 MW) from coal to natural gas by the end of 2021. In addition, IPL’s plans include additional distributed energy resources, including community solar and energy storage systems, to add energy and capacity.

Construction and Acquisition Expenditures
- Construction and acquisition expenditures and financing plans are reviewed, approved and updated as part of the strategic planning process. Changes may result from a number of reasons, including regulatory requirements, changing legislation, not obtaining favorable and acceptable regulatory approval on certain projects, improvements in technology and improvements to ensure reliability of the electric and gas distribution systems. Construction and acquisition expenditures for 2021 through 2025 are currently anticipated as follows (in millions), and are focused on the transition to cleaner energy and strengthening the resiliency of Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s electric grid. Cost estimates represent Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s portion of construction expenditures and exclude AFUDC and capitalized interest, if applicable. Such estimates do not reflect the assumption that a portion of the construction is expected to be financed by tax equity partners, as discussed below in “IPL and WPL Solar Project Tax Equity Credits.” Refer to "

IPL and WPL Solar Project Tax Equity Credits
- IPL and WPL each propose to own and operate their planned solar projects discussed in “
Customer Investments
,” which are currently expected to qualify for 26% to 30% investment tax credits, through a tax equity partnership, with approximately 25% to 45% of the construction costs financed with capital from the tax equity partner. Assuming a portion of the construction costs are financed by the tax equity partner, IPL would receive approximately $25 million in 2023 and $260 million in 2024 from the tax equity partner, and WPL would receive approximately $190 million in 2022, $100 million in 2023, $320 million in 2024 and $170 million in 2025 from the tax equity partner. IPL and WPL would expect to include their portion of capital expenditures, less the amounts financed by the tax equity partner, in their respective rate base.
