QTS project relocated to Iowa with new ESA signed
Alliant Energy reported FY2025 EPS growth of 6% y/y and affirms 2026 guidance, with 7%+ EPS CAGR target for 2027-2029. The key update is that QTS's Wisconsin data center project (Greater Madison) has been relocated to Iowa and a new ESA was signed, with capex reallocated between gas/renewables and between the Iowa/Wisconsin utilities. Regulatory constructs in Iowa (flat base rates through 2030) and Wisconsin (individual customer rate filings) are facilitating this load growth while management emphasized safeguards so existing customers don't pay for data center expansion. FY2025 ongoing EPS of $2.85, up 6% y/y vs guidance midpoint, with a dividend increase (22nd consecutive year).
