Alliant Energy is now offering its customers a chance to decide how some of the energy used in their home is generated. The program, called Beyond Solar, combines Iowa’s solar and wind energy so customers can reserve one or more blocks of renewable energy with no upfront costs. “Many of our customers are looking for simple ways to support local, clean energy projects and reduce their environmental footprint,” said Jeanine Penticoff, vice president of customer engagement and solutions. “With Iowa’s abundance of wind power and our customer’s interest in supporting solar energy, we’re able to combine these resources into one easy option.” With Beyond Solar, consumers can reserve a 100 percent solar block for $13.61 per month, a 50 percent solar and 50 percent wind block for $6.70 per month or a 25 percent solar and 75 percent wind block for $3.24 per month. Those amounts are in addition to the regular monthly bill. Participation in Beyond Solar is on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, send your name, address, phone number and how many blocks of energy to reserve to beyondsolar@alliantenergy.com or call at 1-800-972-5325.
