The company acknowledges the threat of cyber attacks targeting its information and telecommunications systems, potentially disrupting operations or leading to data breaches.

The company identifies the risk of reduced energy demand due to economic conditions, customer-owned generation, and energy efficiency measures.

The company acknowledges that large construction projects are subject to various risks, including regulatory approvals, cost overruns, and delays.

Although electric service in Iowa and Wisconsin is regulated, IPL and WPL still face competition from self-generation by large industrial customers, customer- and third party-owned generation (e.g. solar panels), alternative energy sources, and petitions to municipalize (Iowa) as well as service territory expansions by municipal utilities through annexations (Wisconsin).

In addition, the wholesale power market is competitive and IPL and WPL compete against independent power producers, other utilities and MISO market purchases to serve wholesale customers for their electric energy and capacity needs.

Alliant Energy's strategy includes actions to retain current customers and attract new customers into IPL's and WPL's service territories in an effort to keep energy rates low for all of their customers.

Requested PSCW approval to construct improvements at the natural gas-fired Neenah Energy Facility and Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility, which would increase the capacity and efficiency of the EGUs.
