We expect Alliant Energy to invest over $11 billion from 2024-28, supporting our expectation that the company will achieve the top half of management's 5%-7% growth target. Management estimates continued significant capital investment opportunities in the second half of the decade, supporting growth beyond our forecast.
Alliant's earnings growth prospects are robust, supported by renewable energy projects that have regulatory support.
Alliant's aggressive investment plan increases regulatory risk.
