Item 2.06 Material Impairment.
On June 20, 2024, Alliant Energy Corporation (Alliant Energy) and Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliant Energy, concluded they will incur a one-time charge for the three and six months ending June 30, 2024, related to the non-unanimous settlement agreement reached with the Office of Consumer Advocate and the Iowa Business Energy Coalition for IPL’s retail electric rate review. As a result of the settlement agreement, IPL concluded that it is no longer probable that it will earn a return on the regulatory asset for IPL’s retired coal-fired Lansing Generating Station from its retail customers when final rates are expected to be implemented later in 2024. The amount of the non-cash pre-tax charge is approximately $60 million (resulting in an after-tax charge of approximately $45 million, or approximately $0.17 per diluted share). The settlement agreement is subject to approval by the Iowa Utilities Board.
Statements regarding the asset valuation charge on the regulatory asset related to the Lansing Generating Station are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties include final regulatory approvals and final valuations. Alliant Energy assumes no obligation, and disclaims any duty, to update the forward-looking statements in this report.
