Wisconsin Power and Light Company (“WPL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliant Energy Corporation, is updating WPL’s cost estimate for capital expenditures for its proposed addition of a new third unit of the Nelson Dewey Generating Station in Cassville, Wisconsin to an estimated range of $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion, which is an increase from the previously disclosed range of $850 million to $950 million.
WPL is separately updating its cost estimate for capital expenditures for sulfur dioxide air pollution controls at the two existing units at the Nelson Dewey Generating Station to approximately $200 million, which is an increase from the previously disclosed estimate of $116 million.
Cost estimates represent WPL’s total escalated construction expenditures and exclude allowance for funds used during construction, if applicable.
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified as such because the statements include words such as “estimate,” “estimated,” “approximately,” or other words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe future plans or strategies are also forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Actual results could be affected by such factors as: state regulatory actions or local government actions which delay, prevent or alter the proposed plans, including inability to obtain all necessary approvals and permits; unanticipated construction issues, delays or expenditures including increased costs of labor, materials and equipment; failure of equipment and technology to perform as expected; current or future litigation, regulatory investigations, proceedings or inquiries that could impede the implementation of WPL’s plans; political conditions in WPL’s service territories; changes to WPL’s access to capital markets; and economic conditions in WPL’s service territory. These factors should be considered when evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date hereof and Alliant Energy and WPL undertake no obligation to update publicly such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
