WPL filed a retail electric and gas rate review for 2026/2027, requesting annual rate increases of $120 million (electric) and $9 million (gas) in 2026, and additional increases of $82 million (electric) and $5 million (gas) in 2027[98] - Alliant Energy plans to develop/acquire approximately 1,500 MW of new natural gas, 1,200 MW of new wind, and 800 MW of new energy storage over the next six years[99] - IPL and WPL received regulatory approvals for several new generation and energy storage projects, including natural gas-fired EGUs and energy storage facilities[99] -
