Now is the time for Alliant Energy to save customers money & promote clean, safe energy!

Tell the Public Service Commission that Alliant’s proposal moves us in the wrong direction.

Many home solar systems can, at times, generate more electricity than a family uses. When that happens, excess power goes back into the grid, and power companies pay families for that energy through a process called net metering. Now, Alliant Energy is taking aim at net metering in its latest rate hike proposal. Alliant Energy (also known as Wisconsin Power and Light Company) is asking the PSC to approve a new complex and confusing program that would create uncertainty for homeowners and installers, and it could result in higher bills for solar system owners and longer payback periods for families and small businesses. Alliant Energy’s proposal would even charge system owners for some of the solar energy they provide to the grid.

It’s not too late for Alliant Energy to save customers money and promote clean, safe energy!

Instead of putting up barriers to clean energy adoption, Alliant Energy could use federal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act to finance closure of the Edgewater Unit 5 coal-fired power plant, saving ratepayers more than $168 MILLION. The money could be reinvested in nearly 150 megawatts of clean, solar generation. Tell the PSC to direct Alliant Energy to take advantage of this opportunity to save customers money and invest in clean energy.
