Alliant plans Poweshiek County wind development
Alliant Energy has signed an agreement with Tradewind Energy to help develop Alliant’s 170-megawatt English Farms Wind Farm in Poweshiek County. The development is one of several planned by the utility, which will get one-third of its power from wind by the end of 2020. The $1.8 billion overall wind investment will bring 1,000 megawatts of additional wind power, enough to power 430,000 homes. Alliant will build and own English Farms Wind Farm, with major construction starting in 2018.
