The Midcontinent Independent System Operator has set a solar energy generation record high of 6,887 megawatts thanks in part to Alliant Energy’s recent buildout of over 1,000 MW of solar capacity in Wisconsin and Iowa.

Peaking at 1,050 MW of solar generation, Alliant Energy accounted for approximately fifteen percent of the solar energy production in MISO’s multi-state region. The electricity generated by Alliant Energy’s solar sites was enough to power nearly 400,000 average homes for a day.
