The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) has awarded nine of Alliant Energy’s solar projects with its highest award level – Envision Platinum – for the sustainable development, construction and operation of the facilities. The nine projects total 664 megawatts (MW) and represent the successful execution of Alliant Energy’s Clean Energy Blueprint, a roadmap to diversify its energy resources. Among the projects receiving the awards were:
Bear Creek, a 50 megawatts project in Richland County. At least 97.4% of all construction and demolition material was either sent to recycling facilities or diverted for beneficial reuse.
And the Cassville, 50 megawatts project in Grant County. Key stakeholders at the municipal and county levels expressed approval of the project and its execution based on Alliant Energy’s proactive communication approach and its economic, environmental and public health benefits for the community.
