Finance Leases - WPL is currently leasing the Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility from AEF’s Non-utility Generation business. WPL is responsible for the operation of the EGU and has exclusive rights to its output. In 2024, WPL renewed this financing lease through 2044. There are no lease renewal periods remaining. For Alliant Energy, the leased Sheboygan Falls Energy Facility is eliminated upon consolidation and therefore is not reflected in Alliant Energy’s amounts below.

Related to their investments in solar generation, IPL and WPL entered into various land lease agreements with unaffiliated parties that have commenced. The leases have various terms with optional renewal periods that are assumed to be extended through the end of the estimated useful lives of the solar generating facilities. The leases do not contain purchase options and are fixed lease payments.
