Wind site managers are to wind generation sites what conductors are to orchestras. They manage employees and contractors to ensure the seamless operation of machinery. They also focus on daily operations and proactively foster relationships with local communities. Find out more here: https://bit.ly/3xAxChx

Nearly 150 Alliant Energy employees traveled to Virginia over the weekend to assist American Electric Power - AEP – Appalachian Power with community power restoration following Hurricane Helene. This voluntary partnership we have with other energy providers is a cornerstone of the industry. During major events, these partnerships enable energy companies to increase the size of their workforce and safely restore power to the affected communities. Our employees wanted to give a shout-out to the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar in Galen, VA, for opening up just for our crews so they could get lunch.?

Alliant Energy recently took part in the Professional Developers of Iowa fall conference, “Redefining Your Community Narrative,” in Marshalltown. Along with ITC Holdings Corp., we were honored to sponsor site selection expert Philip Schneider as the conference keynote speaker. We thank Phil for providing location strategy insights on how to make an industrial site stand out and attract valuable investments. During the conference, our economic development team discussed two critical topics with our economic development and city partners, Beyond the Disaster: Effective Recovery Tactics for Stronger Communities, and How to Respond to Site Visits. We thank Marshalltown community members who shared their experience working with Alliant Energy and ITC Midwest and the critical intersection of disaster recovery and economic development after the 2019 tornado that hit the community. We also thank the Ames Economic Development Commission, Grow Clinton and the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce. They joined our team to discuss the art of responding to site visits and showcasing a community’s potential for economic growth. ?#poweringtomorrow #economicdevelopment

One of the most basic necessities is a good night’s sleep- and @SleepInHeavenlyPeace is working to make sure “no kid sleeps on the floor in our town!” As a popular nonprofit among Alliant Energy volunteers, Manager of Customer Operations Brad Weber says “Once you go and participate in one bed build and find out the good SHP does, that’s the hook that keeps you involved.” https://bit.ly/45bPzj8

We are immeasurably proud of our employees who help make their communities better. Senior Grid Planning Engineer Val Akin spends a few hours each week tutoring at a center for immigrants, refugees and women experiencing crisis. “It just feels right and good to share some of the bounty I have been blessed with, she says.” Val is one of our 2024 Values in Practice Award winners. Each year, we recognize employees for their volunteer work around the community with a $500 donation to the nonprofit of their choice. https://bit.ly/3yHdB9o

Like energy, food is a basic need. We don’t want anyone to go without either. That’s why we work hard to provide safe, reliable power and our Foundation joins community efforts to fight hunger all year long. This September for Hunger Action month, our employees will volunteer with organizations like Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, Food Bank of Iowa and Hawkeye Area Community Action Program Food Reservoir to feed our hungry neighbors.
