Madison, WI – Jan. 9, 2007 –Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WP&L), a subsidiary of
Alliant Energy Corporation (NYSE: LNT) today announced official 2006 energy savings
achieved by its Shared Savings energy efficiency program.
In 2006, WP&L achieved electric energy savings of more than 11.6 MW and 66 million
kilowatt-hours, or enough energy to power more than 6,000 homes. More than 1.3 million
therms of natural gas savings, or enough to supply 1,600 homes for a year, were also
achieved by Shared Savings in 2006.
The energy savings are a direct result of 227 Shared Savings energy efficiency improvement
projects implemented by WP&L agricultural, large business and industrial customers with
financing through the Shared Savings program.
“Based upon continued high customer demand for Shared Savings to implement energysaving
improvements, we project similar levels of customer participation and savings
achievement for the 2007 program,” said Donna Braatz, director – Sales and Strategic
Accounts.
2007 marks the 20th anniversary of WP&L’s Shared Savings program. In just the last nine
years, Shared Savings has resulted in the cumulative reduction of more than 998,000 tons of
carbon dioxide, the equivalent of taking 364,000 standard automobiles off the road.
