Rural Power advocates were on hand at the State Capitol in December 2016 when then Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds unveiled the Iowa Energy Plan. Iowa Association of Electric Cooperative (IAEC) staff spent months collaborating with Reynolds, the Iowa Department of Economic Development and other stakeholders in crafting the plan that focuses on “a balanced approach to encourage growth in all of Iowa’s energy sectors while emphasizing sustainable practices, economic development throughout the state, and supporting the research and development required to keep Iowa on the leading edge of energy innovation.” The Iowa Energy Plan is an ongoing effort that will likely result in legislation as different components of the plan are further investigated.
