Alliant Energy helps households stay warm

     During the last heating season, more than 7,500 Iowa and Wisconsin households received help with their energy costs thanks to shareholders, customers, employees, and retires of Alliant Energy.

     The shareholders are again contributing $2 million to the Hometown Care Energy Fund, which helps income-eligible customers across Alliant’s service area with heating costs.

     During the last heating season, Alliant Energy employees, retires and customers contributed an additional $210,000.

     Cold Midwest winters place an additional burden on limited-income families.

     “Our company has a history of partnering with our communities,” said Patricia Kampling, Alliant Energy’s chairman, president, and CEO. “Together, the generosity of customers, our employees and retirees enables Hometown Care to help ensure all of our friends and neighbors have warm homes.”

     Funds are distributed to customers by community action agencies in Iowa and by Energy Services Inc.’s Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund in Wisconsin.

     Income-eligible Alliant Energy customers can apply for funding as follows:
