"We anticipated higher electric earnings from the expiration of the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) and Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant (Kewaunee) purchased power agreements in this quarter. In addition, the unexpected extremely cold temperatures increased earnings from both electric and gas sales," said Patricia Kampling, Alliant Energy Chairman, President and CEO.
