     ALLIANT ENERGY CORPORATION, ET AL. (70-9891)
     ----------------------------------

     Alliant Energy Corporation ("Alliant Energy"), a registered holding
company, whose principal executive offices are at 4902 N. Biltmore Lane,
Madison, has filed a post-effective amendment pursuant to Sections 6(a) and 7 of
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (the "Act") to the
application or declaration in this proceeding previously filed by Alliant Energy
and certain direct and indirect non-utility subsidiaries of Alliant Energy.
Alliant Energy is requesting certain modifications to the terms and conditions
of the authorization heretofore granted in this proceeding.

     By order dated October 3, 2001 (Holding Co. Act Release No. 27448) (the
"Prior Order"), Alliant Energy and certain of its non-utility subsidiaries were
authorized through December 31, 2004 (the "Authorization Period") to engage in a
program of external long-term financing transactions, to provide guarantees and


                                       1



other forms of credit support with respect to obligations of subsidiaries of
Alliant Energy, to enter into interest rate hedges, to engage in certain
non-utility energy-related activities, and to engage in certain other related
transactions. The Prior Order also authorized Alliant Energy to invest proceeds
of authorized financing in "exempt wholesale generators" ("EWGs") and "foreign
utility companies" ("FUCOs") in an aggregate amount up to 100% of Alliant
Energy's average consolidated retained earnings.(1)

     Among other things, the Commission authorized Alliant Energy to issue and
sell from time to time during the Authorization Period, directly or indirectly
through one or more financing subsidiaries, common stock, long-term debt, and
preferred stock and other forms of preferred or equity-linked securities in an
aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $1.5 billion, subject to
the following conditions, restrictions, and limitations, among others: (1) the
interest rate on long-term debt and dividend rate on preferred or equity-linked
securities may not exceed at the time of issuance 500 basis points over the
yield to maturity of a U.S. Treasury security having a remaining term equal to
the term of such securities, (2) all preferred and equity-linked securities must
be redeemed no later than 50 years after the issuance thereof, and (3) except in
accordance with a further order of the Commission in this proceeding, Alliant
Energy will not issue any long-term debt or preferred stock or other type of
preferred or equity-linked securities unless such securities are rated at the
investment grade level as established by at least one nationally recognized
statistical rating organization ("NRSRO"), as that term is used in paragraphs
(c)(2)(vi)(E), (F) and (H) of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

     Alliant Energy is now requesting that the Commission issue a supplemental
order approving the following modifications to the terms of the Prior Order:

     (i) The interest rate on long-term debt securities issued by Alliant Energy
may not exceed at the time of issuance the greater of (i) 500 basis points over
the yield to maturity of comparable term U.S. Treasury securities or (ii) a
gross spread over U.S. Treasury securities that is consistent with similar
securities of comparable credit quality and maturities issued by other
companies.

     (ii) The dividend or distribution rate on preferred stock or other
preferred or equity-linked securities issued by Alliant Energy may not exceed at
the time of issuance the greater of (i) 500 basis points over the yield to

----------

     (1)  The Prior Order reserved jurisdiction over: (1) Alliant Energy's
request to issue securities that are rated below investment grade, (2) energy
marketing activities outside the United States and Canada, (3) other
energy-related activities outside the United States, and (4) the use by Alliant
Energy of financing proceeds to invest in EWGs and FUCOs in excess of the limit
authorized in the Prior Order.


                                       2


maturity of comparable term U.S. Treasury securities or (ii) a gross spread over
U.S. Treasury securities that is consistent with similar securities of
comparable credit quality and maturities issued by other companies.

     (iii) Preferred stock or other preferred securities issued by Alliant
Energy may be redeemable or perpetual in duration.

     (iv) Without further order of the Commission, Alliant Energy will not
publicly issue any long-term debt securities, preferred stock or other types of
preferred or equity-linked securities unless such securities are rated as
investment grade by at least one NRSRO.

     In support of its request, Alliant Energy states that, since the date of
the Prior Order, and particularly in the past few months, spreads over U.S.
Treasury securities, which are typically used as the base rate for long-term
debt and other senior securities, have widened dramatically. As a result,
Alliant Energy asserts that the current maximum interest rate and dividend
spread of 500 basis points, as authorized under the Prior Order, may limit
Alliant Energy's ability to access capital markets at a time when it is most
critical to do so. Alliant Energy states that the other proposed modifications
to the Prior Order are intended to make certain terms of the Prior Order
consistent with those contained in more recent orders that the Commission has
issued to other holding companies.

     Except as specified immediately above, no other changes or modifications in
the terms, conditions or limitations imposed under the Prior Order are requested
herein.
