FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this report that are not of historical fact are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified as such because the statements include words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “projections,” “estimate,” or other words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe future financial performance or plans or strategies are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL that could materially affect actual results include:

•the direct or indirect effects resulting from cyber security incidents or attacks on Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s or WPL’s physical infrastructure, or responses to such incidents;

•the impact of customer- and third party-owned generation, including alternative electric suppliers, in IPL’s and WPL’s service territories on system reliability, operating expenses and customers’ demand for electricity;

•the impact of energy efficiency, franchise retention and customer disconnects on sales volumes and margins;

•the impact that price changes may have on IPL’s and WPL’s customers’ demand for electric, gas and steam services and their ability to pay their bills;

•inflation and higher interest rates;

•changes in the price of delivered natural gas, transmission, purchased electricity and delivered coal, particularly during elevated market prices, and any resulting changes to counterparty credit risk, due to shifts in supply and demand caused by market conditions, regulations and MISO’s seasonal resource adequacy process;

•IPL’s and WPL’s ability to obtain adequate and timely rate relief to allow for, among other things, the recovery of and/or the return on costs, including fuel costs, operating costs, transmission costs, capacity costs, deferred expenditures, deferred tax assets, tax expense, interest expense, capital expenditures, and remaining costs related to EGUs that may be permanently closed and certain other retired assets, decreases in sales volumes, earning their authorized rates of return, and the payments to their parent of expected levels of dividends;

•the ability to obtain regulatory approval for construction projects with acceptable conditions;

•the ability to complete construction of renewable generation and storage projects by planned in-service dates and within the cost targets set by regulators due to cost increases of and access to materials, equipment and commodities, which could result from tariffs, duties or other assessments, such as any additional tariffs resulting from U.S. Department of Commerce investigations into and any decisions made regarding the sourcing of solar project materials and equipment from certain countries, labor issues or supply shortages, the ability to successfully resolve warranty issues or contract disputes, the ability to achieve the expected level of tax benefits based on tax guidelines and project costs, and the ability to efficiently utilize the renewable generation and storage project tax benefits for the benefit of customers;

•the ability to utilize tax credits generated to date, and those that may be generated in the future, before they expire, as well as the ability to transfer tax credits that may be generated in the future at adequate pricing;

•disruptions to ongoing operations and the supply of materials, services, equipment and commodities needed to construct solar generation, battery storage and electric and gas distribution projects, which may result from geopolitical issues, supplier manufacturing constraints, labor issues or transportation issues, and thus affect the ability to meet capacity requirements and result in increased capacity expense;

•the future development of technologies related to electrification, and the ability to reliably store and manage electricity;

•federal and state regulatory or governmental actions, including the impact of legislation, and regulatory agency orders;

•the impacts of changes in the tax code, including tax rates, minimum tax rates, and adjustments made to deferred tax assets and liabilities;

•weather effects on results of utility operations;

•continued access to the capital markets on competitive terms and rates, and the actions of credit rating agencies;

•changes to MISO’s resource adequacy process establishing capacity planning reserve margin and capacity accreditation requirements that may impact how and when new and existing generating facilities, including IPL’s and WPL’s additional solar generation, may be accredited with energy capacity, and may require IPL and WPL to adjust their current resource plans, to add resources to meet the requirements of MISO’s process, or procure capacity in the market whereby such costs might not be recovered in rates;

•issues associated with environmental remediation and environmental compliance, including compliance with all environmental and emissions permits and future changes in environmental laws and regulations, including changes to the Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, Cross-State Air Pollution Rule emissions allowances and federal, state or local regulations for greenhouse gases emissions reductions from new and existing fossil-fueled EGUs under the Clean Air Act, and litigation associated with environmental requirements;

•increased pressure from customers, investors and other stakeholders to more rapidly reduce greenhouse gases emissions;

•the ability to defend against environmental claims brought by state and federal agencies, such as the EPA, state natural resources agencies or third parties, such as the Sierra Club, and the impact on operating expenses of defending and resolving such claims;

In January 2023, AEF received $50 million of proceeds from its December 2022 term loan credit agreement, which was classified as “Other short-term borrowings” on Alliant Energy’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

NOTE 7(b) Long-term Debt - In June 2023, AEF retired its $400 million 3.75% senior notes. In March 2023, WPL issued $300 million of 4.95% debentures due 2033. WPL’s debentures were issued as green bonds, and an amount equal to or in excess of the net proceeds will be allocated or disbursed for the development and acquisition of its solar EGUs.

As of June 30, 2023, $55 million of commercial paper was recorded in “Long-term debt, net” on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s balance sheets due to the existence of the long-term single credit facility that back-stops this commercial paper balance, along with Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s intent and ability to refinance these balances on a long-term basis. As of June 30, 2023, this commercial paper balance had a 5% interest rate.

Convertible Senior Notes - In March 2023, Alliant Energy issued $575 million of 3.875% convertible senior notes (the Notes), which are senior unsecured obligations, and used the net proceeds from the issuance for general corporate purposes. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2026 unless earlier converted or repurchased, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes. Alliant Energy may not redeem the Notes prior to the maturity date. Holders may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2025 only under the following circumstances:

•during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2023 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Alliant Energy’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day during such period;

•during the 5 business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the related Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Alliant Energy’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

•upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after December 15, 2025 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion of the Notes, Alliant Energy will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted.

The initial conversion rate is 15.5461 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $64.32 per share of Alliant Energy’s common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, Alliant Energy will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event.

If Alliant Energy undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the related Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes may require Alliant Energy to repurchase for cash all or any portion of its Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

As of June 30, 2023, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert their Notes were not met, and as a result, the Notes were classified as “Long-term debt, net” on Alliant Energy’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2023, the net carrying amount of the Notes was $566 million, with unamortized debt issuance costs of $9 million, and the estimated fair value (Level 2) of the Notes was $573 million. As of June 30, 2023, there were no shares of Alliant Energy’s common stock related to the potential conversion of the Notes included in diluted EPS based on Alliant Energy’s average stock prices and the relevant terms of the Notes.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Rates - Overall effective income tax rates, which were computed by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes, were as follows. The effective income tax rates were different than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, production tax credits, amortization of excess deferred taxes and the effect of rate-making on property-related differences.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, performance shares, performance restricted stock units and restricted stock units were granted to key employees under existing plans as follows. These shares and units will be paid out in shares of common stock, and are therefore accounted for as equity awards.


		Weighted Average
	Grants	Grant Date Fair Value
Performance shares	106,927	$55.68
Performance restricted stock units	122,178	52.77
Restricted stock units	104,849	52.81

As of June 30, 2023, 206,177 shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the nonvested equity awards.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Commodity Derivatives -

Notional Amounts - As of June 30, 2023, gross notional amounts and settlement/delivery years related to outstanding swap contracts, option contracts, physical forward contracts and FTRs that were accounted for as commodity derivative instruments were as follows (units in thousands):


	Electricity		FTRs		Natural Gas		Coal
	MWhs	Years	MWhs	Years	Dths	Years	Tons	Years
Alliant Energy	1,171	2023-2025	24,874	2023-2024	192,421	2023-2032	466	2023
IPL	537	2023-2025	10,163	2023-2024	92,087	2023-2030	224	2023
WPL	634	2023-2025	14,711	2023-2024	100,334	2023-2032	242	2023

Financial Statement Presentation - Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value each reporting date on the balance sheets as assets or liabilities as follows (in millions):


	Alliant Energy		IPL		WPL
	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022
Current derivative assets	$86	$111	$61	$69	$25	$42
Non-current derivative assets	61	126	34	69	27	57
Current derivative liabilities	54	59	27	40	27	19
Non-current derivative liabilities	43	20	10	6	33	14

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s derivative assets decreased primarily due to settlements of natural gas, FTR and electricity contracts and lower natural gas prices, partially offset by new FTRs resulting from the annual FTR auction in the second quarter of 2023 operated by MISO. Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s derivative liabilities increased primarily due to lower natural gas prices. Based on IPL’s and WPL’s cost recovery mechanisms, the changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities/assets resulted in comparable changes to regulatory assets/liabilities on the balance sheets.

Credit Risk-related Contingent Features - Various agreements contain credit risk-related contingent features, including requirements to maintain certain credit ratings and/or limitations on liability positions under the agreements based on credit ratings. Certain of these agreements with credit risk-related contingency features are accounted for as derivative instruments. In the event of a material change in creditworthiness or if liability positions exceed certain contractual limits, credit support may need to be provided up to the amount of exposure under the contracts, or the contracts may need to be unwound and underlying liability positions paid. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a net liability position was not materially different than amounts that would be required to be posted as credit support to counterparties by Alliant Energy, IPL or WPL if the most restrictive credit risk-related contingent features for derivative agreements in a net liability position were triggered.

Balance Sheet Offsetting - The fair value amounts of derivative instruments subject to a master netting arrangement are not netted by counterparty on the balance sheets. However, if the fair value amounts of derivative instruments by counterparty were netted, derivative assets and derivative liabilities related to commodity contracts would have been presented on the balance sheets as follows (in millions):

Table of Contents


	Alliant Energy		IPL		WPL
	Gross		Gross		Gross
	(as reported)	Net	(as reported)	Net	(as reported)	Net

Derivative assets	$147	$114	$95	$73	$52	$41

December 31, 2022
Derivative assets	237	193	138	108	99	85
Derivative liabilities	79	35	46	16	33	19

Fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (payable) are not offset against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement.

Interest Rate Derivative - In January 2023, AEF entered into a $300 million interest rate swap maturing in January 2026 to mitigate interest rate risk. Under the terms of the swap, AEF exchanged a variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate of 3.93% on a portion of its variable-rate term loan borrowings. The related interest rate derivative was valued based on quoted prices that utilize current market interest rate forecasts. As of June 30, 2023, $4 million of non-current interest rate derivative assets was recorded in “Deferred charges and other” on Alliant Energy’s balance sheet. This interest rate derivative was designated as a cash flow hedge, with changes in fair value recorded as other comprehensive income/loss. As of June 30, 2023, accumulated other comprehensive income included $3 million of income related to the interest rate swap. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, $1 million and $1 million, respectively, of reductions to interest expense were recorded in Alliant Energy’s income statement related to the interest rate swap.

NOTE 13(c) Guarantees and Indemnifications -

Whiting Petroleum - Whiting Petroleum is an independent oil and gas company. In 2004, Alliant Energy sold its remaining interest in Whiting Petroleum. Alliant Energy Resources, LLC, as the successor to a predecessor entity that owned Whiting Petroleum, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF, continues to guarantee the partnership obligations of an affiliate of Whiting Petroleum under multiple general partnership agreements in the oil and gas industry. The guarantees do not include a maximum limit. Based on information made available to Alliant Energy by Whiting Petroleum, the Whiting Petroleum affiliate holds an approximate 6% share in the partnerships, and currently known obligations include costs associated with the future abandonment of certain facilities owned by the partnerships. The general partnerships were formed under California law, and Alliant Energy Resources, LLC may need to perform under the guarantees if the affiliate of Whiting Petroleum is unable to meet its partnership obligations.

As of June 30, 2023, the currently known partnership obligations for the abandonment obligations are estimated at $58 million, which represents Alliant Energy’s currently estimated maximum exposure under the guarantees. Alliant Energy estimates its expected loss to be a portion of the $58 million of known partnership abandonment obligations of the Whiting Petroleum affiliate and the other partners. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay; however, as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a liability of $5 million is recorded in “Other liabilities” on Alliant Energy’s balance sheets for expected credit losses related to the contingent obligations that are in the scope of these guarantees.

Whiting Petroleum completed a business combination with Oasis Petroleum Inc. in July 2022. The combined operations are now known as Chord Energy Corporation. The business combination is not expected to affect the scope of the Whiting Petroleum affiliate’s obligations to Alliant Energy or Alliant Energy’s related guarantees.

Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - In 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a cash equity ownership interest in a non-utility wind farm located in Oklahoma. The wind farm provides electricity to a third party under a long-term PPA. Alliant Energy provided a parent guarantee of its subsidiary’s indemnification obligations under the related operating agreement and PPA. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the operating agreement were $59 million as of June 30, 2023 and will reduce annually until expiring in July 2047. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the PPA are subject to a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in December 2031, subject to potential extension. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to this guarantee that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to this guarantee as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

NOTE 13(d) Environmental Matters -

Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Sites - IPL and WPL have current or previous ownership interests in various sites that are previously associated with the production of gas for which IPL and WPL have, or may have in the future, liability for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs. IPL and WPL are working pursuant to the requirements of various federal and state agencies to investigate, mitigate, prevent and remediate, where necessary, the environmental impacts to property, including natural resources, at and around these former MGP sites in order to protect public health and the environment. At June 30, 2023, estimated future costs expected to be incurred for the investigation, remediation and monitoring of the MGP sites, as well as environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheets for these sites, which are not discounted, were as follows (in millions):


	Alliant Energy			IPL			WPL

Other Environmental Contingencies - In addition to the environmental liabilities discussed above, various environmental rules are monitored that may have a significant impact on future operations. Several of these environmental rules are subject to legal challenges, reconsideration and/or other uncertainties. Given uncertainties regarding the outcome, timing and compliance plans for these environmental matters, the complete financial impact of each of these rules is not able to be determined; however, future capital investments and/or modifications to EGUs and electric and gas distribution systems to comply with certain of these rules could be significant. Specific current, proposed or potential environmental matters include, among others: Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, Effluent Limitation Guidelines, Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, and various legislation and EPA regulations to monitor and regulate the emission of greenhouse gases, including the Clean Air Act.

NOTE 13(e) MISO Transmission Owner Return on Equity Complaints - A group of stakeholders, including MISO cooperative and municipal utilities, previously filed complaints with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requesting a reduction to the base return on equity authorized for MISO transmission owners, including ITC Midwest LLC and ATC. In 2019, FERC issued an order on the previously filed complaints and reduced the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners to 9.88% for November 12, 2013 through February 11, 2015, and subsequent to September 28, 2016. In 2020, FERC issued orders in response to various rehearing requests and increased the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners from 9.88% to 10.02% for November 12, 2013 through February 11, 2015, and subsequent to September 28, 2016. In August 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated FERC’s prior orders that established the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners and remanded the cases to FERC for further proceedings, which may result in additional changes to the base return on equity authorized for the MISO transmission owners. Any further changes in FERC’s decisions may have an impact on Alliant Energy’s share of ATC’s future earnings and customer costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This MDA includes information relating to Alliant Energy, and IPL and WPL (collectively, the Utilities), as well as ATC Holdings, AEF and Corporate Services. Where appropriate, information relating to a specific entity has been segregated and labeled as such. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the Notes included in this report, as well as the financial statements, notes and MDA included in the 2022 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise noted, all “per share” references in MDA refer to earnings per diluted share.

2023 HIGHLIGHTS

Key highlights since the filing of the 2022 Form 10-K include the following:

Customer Investments:

•In 2021, IPL filed for advance rate-making principles with the IUB for up to 400 MW of solar generation and 75 MW of battery storage. In April 2023, the IUB approved advance rate-making principles for up to 200 MW of solar generation. The IUB’s order included a cost target of $1,575/kilowatt, including AFUDC and transmission upgrade costs among other costs. Any reasonable and prudent costs incurred in excess of the cost target, as well as the related return on common equity, would need to be addressed in future IPL retail electric rate review filings. In May 2023, IPL requested reconsideration of certain ratemaking principles for the up to 200 MW of solar generation, including the cost target and return on common equity. In June 2023, IPL and the IUB filed a joint motion for remand of the other 200 MW of solar generation and 75 MW of battery storage for further reconsideration by the IUB, which was granted by the court. In June 2023, the IUB granted reconsideration of advance rate-making principles for the 400 MW of solar generation and 75 MW of battery storage. In August 2023, IPL reached a non-unanimous settlement agreement with the Iowa Office of Consumer Advocate, subject to IUB approval, for up to 400 MW of solar generation with a cost target of $735 million, including AFUDC and transmission upgrade costs, and a related return on common equity of 10.75%.

•In June 2023, WPL received an oral decision from the PSCW authorizing WPL to construct, own and operate 175 MW of battery storage, with 100 MW and 75 MW at the Grant County and Wood County solar projects, respectively. A written order from the PSCW is currently expected in the third quarter of 2023.

•In June 2023, WPL filed requests with the PSCW for 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. Estimated construction costs for these projects are included in the anticipated construction and acquisition expenditures included in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the 2022 Form 10-K.

•In March 2023, the IUB issued a certificate of public convenience, use and necessity (GCU Certificate) granting IPL approval to construct, own and operate up to 50 MW of solar generation and up to 25 MW of battery storage at the Creston project in Union County, Iowa.

•In April 2023, the IUB issued a GCU Certificate granting IPL approval to construct, own and operate up to 150 MW of solar generation and up to 75 MW of battery storage at the Wever project in Lee County, Iowa.

Rate Matters:

•In April 2023, WPL filed a retail electric and gas rate review with the PSCW for the 2024/2025 forward-looking Test Period. The key drivers for the filing include revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric and gas rate base, including investments in solar generation and battery storage. The filing requested approval for WPL to implement increases in annual rates for its retail electric and gas customers of $111 million and $17 million in 2024, respectively, with any granted rate changes expected to be effective on January 1, 2024. WPL’s filing also requested approval to implement an additional $71 million increase in annual rates for its retail electric customers in 2025, with any granted rate changes expected to be effective on January 1, 2025. WPL also requested to maintain its current authorized return on common equity of 10% and implement an approximate 56% common equity component of its regulatory capital structure, as well as receive continued recovery of and a return on the remaining net book value of Edgewater Unit 5, which is currently expected to be retired by June 1, 2025. A decision from the PSCW is expected by the end of 2023.

•IPL currently expects to file a retail electric and gas rate review with the IUB in the third quarter of 2023. The key drivers for the anticipated filing include revenue requirement impacts of increasing electric and gas rate base, including investments in solar generation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations include financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as utility electric margins and utility gas margins, which are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Utility electric margins are defined as electric revenues less electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses. Utility gas margins are defined as gas revenues less cost of gas sold. Utility electric margins and utility gas margins are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude other utility and non-utility revenues, other operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and taxes other than income tax expense.

Management believes that utility electric and gas margins provide a meaningful basis for evaluating and managing utility operations since electric production fuel, purchased power and electric transmission service expenses and cost of gas sold are generally passed through to customers, and therefore, result in changes to electric and gas revenues that are comparable to changes in such expenses. The presentation of utility electric and gas margins herein is intended to provide supplemental information for investors regarding operating performance. These utility electric and gas margins may not be comparable to how other entities define utility electric and gas margin. Furthermore, these measures are not intended to replace operating income as determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of operating performance.

Additionally, the table below includes EPS for Utilities and Corporate Services, ATC Holdings, and Non-utility and Parent, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Alliant Energy believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of segment performance and trends, and provide additional information about Alliant Energy’s operations on a basis consistent with the measures that management uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance.

Financial Results Overview - Alliant Energy’s net income and EPS attributable to Alliant Energy common shareowners for the three months ended June 30 were as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):


	2023		2022
	Income (Loss)	EPS	Income (Loss)	EPS

Utilities and Corporate Services	$164	$0.65	$154	$0.61
ATC Holdings	8	0.03	8	0.03
Non-utility and Parent	(12)	(0.04)	(3)	(0.01)


Alliant Energy Consolidated	$160	$0.64	$159	$0.63

Alliant Energy’s Utilities and Corporate Services net income increased by $10 million for the three-month period, primarily due to higher revenue requirements and AFUDC from WPL’s capital investments, and lower electric fuel-related costs, net of recoveries at WPL. These items were partially offset by lower retail electric and gas sales due to the impact of temperatures on customer demand and higher interest expense.

Alliant Energy’s Non-utility and Parent net income decreased by $9 million for the three-month period, primarily due to higher interest expense.

Sales Trends and Temperatures - Alliant Energy’s retail electric and gas sales volumes decreased 2% and 17%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to changes in temperatures. Alliant Energy’s retail electric and gas sales volumes decreased 3% and 15%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to changes in temperatures.

Estimated increases (decreases) to electric and gas margins from the impacts of temperatures for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):


	Electric Margins						Gas Margins
	Three Months			Six Months			Three Months			Six Months

Electric Sales for Resale - Electric sales for resale volume changes were largely due to changes in sales in the wholesale energy markets operated by MISO. These changes are impacted by several factors, including the availability and dispatch of Alliant Energy’s EGUs and electricity demand within these wholesale energy markets. Changes in sales for resale revenues were largely offset by changes in fuel-related costs, and therefore, did not have a significant impact on electric margins.

Gas Transportation/Other - Gas transportation/other sales volume changes were largely due to changes in the gas volumes supplied to Alliant Energy’s natural gas-fired EGUs caused by the availability and dispatch of such EGUs. Changes in these transportation/other revenues did not have a significant impact on gas margins.

Utility Electric Margin Variances - The following items contributed to increased (decreased) utility electric margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 as follows (in millions):

Interest Rate Risk - As of June 30, 2023, Alliant Energy’s exposure to risk resulting from changes in interest rates associated with variable-rate borrowings was mitigated primarily due to its issuance of convertible senior notes and an interest rate swap on a portion of its variable-rate term loan borrowings, as well as WPL’s issuance of green bonds, all of which were executed in the first quarter of 2023. Assuming the impact of a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates on variable-rate borrowings and cash amounts outstanding under IPL’s sales of accounts receivable program at June 30, 2023, Alliant Energy’s annual pre-tax expense would increase by approximately $7 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Certain Financial Commitments - A summary of Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s off-balance sheet arrangements and Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s contractual obligations is included in the 2022 Form 10-K and has not changed materially from the items reported in the 2022 Form 10-K, except for the items described in Notes 4, 7 and 1 3.

OTHER MATTERS

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - The summary of critical accounting policies and estimates included in the 2022 Form 10-K has not changed materially, except as described below.

Long-Lived Assets -

Regulated Operations -

Generating Units Subject to Early Retirement - In May 2023, IPL retired the Lansing Generating Station. IPL is currently allowed a full recovery of and a full return on this EGU from both its retail and wholesale customers, and as a result, Alliant Energy and IPL concluded that no impairment was required as of June 30, 2023. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the Lansing retirement.

Environmental Matters - The summary of environmental matters included in the 2022 Form 10-K has not changed materially, except as described below.

Environmental Regulation -

Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 111(d) - In May 2023, the EPA published proposed standards under Section 111(d) of the CAA, which establish emission guidelines for states to implement Best System of Emission Reduction standards for greenhouse gases emissions from existing fossil-fueled EGUs and certain combustion turbines, and would be phased in beginning in 2030. The EPA also proposed to repeal the Affordable Clean Energy rule. The EPA’s proposed standards would require states to implement plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil-fueled EGUs and certain combustion turbines through various measures, including retirement, enforceable limits on operational capacity, co-firing with low-greenhouse gases fuels, or other technological controls. State plans must be submitted within 24 months of the final rule’s effective date and are subject to EPA approval. The proposed standards could impact IPL’s coal-fired Ottumwa Generating Station, George Neal Generating Station, Prairie Creek Generating Station Unit 3 and Louisa Generating Station, and IPL’s natural gas-fired Burlington Generating Station and Prairie Creek Generating Station Unit 4. In addition, the proposed standards could impact natural gas-fired combustion turbines with a capacity of 300 MW or more, including IPL’s Marshalltown Generating Station and Emery Generating Station, and WPL’s Riverside Energy Center and West Riverside Energy Center. The proposed standards are currently not expected to impact WPL’s coal-fired Columbia Energy Center or Edgewater Generating Station given current plans to retire these EGUs prior to the proposed 2030 implementation deadline. The timeline for expected issuance of the EPA’s final reconsidered 111(d) rule cannot be predicted with certainty, but is expected to be issued in 2024. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the future outcome or impact of these matters.

Clean Air Act Section 111(b) - In May 2023, the EPA published proposed standards under Section 111(b) of the CAA, which establish carbon dioxide emissions limits from certain new and reconstructed fossil-fueled EGUs and would apply prospectively. The timeline for expected issuance of the EPA’s final reconsidered 111(b) rule cannot be predicted with certainty, but is expected to be issued in 2024. Marshalltown and West Riverside are currently subject to the EPA’s Section 111(b) regulation. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the future outcome or impact of these standards.

Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule - In May 2023, the EPA published proposed amendments to the CCR Rule, which regulates CCR as a non-hazardous waste. These proposed amendments would expand the scope of regulation to include coal ash ponds at sites that no longer produce electricity and inactive landfills, including some IPL and WPL facilities. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the future outcome or impact of these updates.

Environmental Stewardship - Alliant Energy’s current voluntary environmental-related goals include the following:

•By 2030, reduce greenhouse gases emissions from its utility operations by 50% from 2005 levels, reduce its electric utility water supply by 75% from 2005 levels and electrify 100% of its owned light-duty fleet vehicles.

•By 2040, eliminate all coal-fired EGUs from its generating fleet and reduce greenhouse gases emissions from its utility operations by 80% from 2005 levels.

•By 2050, aspire to achieve net-zero greenhouse gases emissions from its utility operations.


			34

Table of Contents

Alliant Energy’s aspirational greenhouse gases goal includes EPA reportable emissions based on applicable regulatory compliance requirements for carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from its owned fossil-fueled EGUs and distribution of natural gas. In addition, Alliant Energy’s environmental stewardship efforts include a goal to partner to plant more than 1 million trees by the end of 2030. Future updates to sustainable energy plans and attaining these goals will depend on future economic developments, evolving energy technologies and emerging trends in Alliant Energy’s service territories.
