Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NOTE 1(a) General - The interim unaudited Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the latest combined Annual Report on Form 10-K . In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which unless otherwise noted are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . A change in management’s estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such change occurred. Certain prior period amounts in the Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes. NOTE 1(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents - At September 30, 2019 , Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s cash and cash equivalents included $174.4 million and $173.7 million of money market fund investments, with interest rates of 2.0% and 2.0% , respectively. NOTE 1(c) Leases - The determination of whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease occurs at the inception of the arrangement. Arrangements that qualify as leases are classified as either operating or finance. Operating and finance lease liabilities represent obligations to make payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Leases with initial terms less than 12 months are not recognized as leases. For operating leases, an incremental borrowing rate, as determined at the lease commencement date, is used to determine the present value of the lease payments. For finance leases, the rate implicit in the lease is used to determine the present value of the lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Finance lease expense is comprised of depreciation and interest expenses. Finance lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the underlying asset or the lease term. NOTE 1(d) New Accounting Standards - Credit Losses - In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring use of a current expected credit loss model rather than an incurred loss method, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of credit losses on trade receivables and certain other assets. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, which requires cumulative effect adjustments to retained earnings on January 1, 2020 upon adoption. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will continue to evaluate the impact of this standard and do not currently expect a material change to their financial condition or results of operations as a result of adopting this standard. Cloud Computing Arrangements - In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard that clarifies capitalization and presentation requirements of implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 and are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial statements. Leases - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring lease assets and lease liabilities, including operating leases, to be recognized on the balance sheet. The accounting for capital leases, now referred to as finance leases, remains unchanged with the adoption of this standard. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using an optional transition approach and there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. Prior period amounts have not been restated to reflect the adoption of this standard and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Upon transition to the new standard, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL elected the land easement transition practical expedient, for which existing land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the original accounting standards did not need to be evaluated under the new accounting standard. In addition, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL evaluated land easements that were previously accounted for as leases and determined that the majority of these land easements relate to joint-use land sites, and do not meet the criteria for leases under the new accounting standard. Therefore, these land easement arrangements are no longer reflected as operating leases effective January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of leases. |

Recovery of these retired meters is included in the settlement agreement for IPL’s current retail electric base rate increase, and the IUB will decide on the recovery of these assets with the current retail electric rate review decision. IPL’s DAEC PPA Amendment - In January 2019, IPL incurred an obligation to make a September 2020 buyout payment of $110 million in exchange for shortening the term of IPL’s DAEC nuclear generation PPA by 5 years. The IUB approved placing the buyout payment in a regulatory asset account, which will be recovered from IPL’s retail customers over a 5 -year period following the payment. The offsetting obligation has been discounted and is recorded in “Other current liabilities” on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s balance sheets. Utility Rate Reviews IPL’s Retail Electric Rate Review (2020 Forward-looking Test Period) - In March 2019, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual electric base rates for its Iowa retail electric customers based on a 2020 forward-looking Test Period. The key drivers for IPL’s request included recovery of capital projects, including new wind generation. IPL concurrently filed for interim retail electric rates based on 2018 historical data as adjusted for certain known and measurable changes occurring in the first quarter of 2019. An interim retail electric base rate increase of $90 million , on an annual basis, was implemented effective April 1, 2019. Implementing interim rates does not require regulatory approval; however, interim rates are subject to refund pending the IUB’s final rate review decision. In October 2019, IPL reached a partial, non-unanimous settlement agreement with intervenor groups for an annual retail electric base rate increase of $127 million . The agreement includes both the recovery of and a return on IPL’s early retired EGUs, and the recovery of IPL’s retired analog electric meters. The settlement agreement also includes IPL providing billing credits over a 12 -month period beginning with final rates, including $27 million of excess deferred taxes resulting from the remeasurement of accumulated deferred income taxes caused by Federal Tax Reform and $8 million from a partial refund of interim rates implemented in 2019. The IUB generally must decide on requests for retail rate changes within 10 months of the date of the application for which changes are filed. IPL currently expects a final decision, including a decision on the settlement agreement, from the IUB in the fourth quarter of 2019 with final rates effective in the first quarter of 2020. IPL’s Retail Gas Rate Review (2020 Forward-looking Test Period) - In March 2019, IPL filed a request with the IUB to increase annual gas base rates for its Iowa retail gas customers based on a 2020 forward-looking Test Period. The key drivers for IPL’s request included recovery of capital projects. In October 2019, IPL reached a unanimous settlement agreement with intervenor groups for an annual retail gas base rate increase of $12 million . IPL currently expects a decision, including a decision on the settlement agreement, from the IUB in the fourth quarter of 2019 with final rates effective in the first quarter of 2020. |

For the nine months ended September 30 , 2019, performance shares, performance restricted stock units and restricted stock units were granted to key employees and will be paid out in shares, and are therefore accounted for as equity awards. The 2019 performance shares contain a market condition based on total shareowner return relative to an investor-owned utility peer group. The fair value of each performance share is based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date and the probability of satisfying the market condition contained in the agreement during a 3 -year performance period. For the nine months ended September 30 , 2019, 91,816 performance shares were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $47.23 . The 2019 performance restricted stock units will vest based on the achievement of certain targets (specified growth of consolidated net income from continuing operations) during a 3 -year performance period. The actual number of performance shares and performance restricted units that will be paid out upon vesting is dependent upon actual performance and may range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares or units, as applicable. The 2019 restricted stock units will vest based on the expiration of a 3 -year time-vesting period. For the nine months ended September 30 , 2019, 91,816 performance restricted stock units were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $46.10 , and 105,348 restricted stock units were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $45.98 , which is based on the closing market price of one share of Alliant Energy’s common stock on the grant date of the award. As of September 30, 2019 , 122,720 shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the nonvested equity awards. |

For the nine months ended September 30 , 2019, performance shares, performance restricted stock units and restricted stock units were granted to key employees and will be paid out in shares, and are therefore accounted for as equity awards. The 2019 performance shares contain a market condition based on total shareowner return relative to an investor-owned utility peer group. The fair value of each performance share is based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date and the probability of satisfying the market condition contained in the agreement during a 3 -year performance period. For the nine months ended September 30 , 2019, 91,816 performance shares were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $47.23 . The 2019 performance restricted stock units will vest based on the achievement of certain targets (specified growth of consolidated net income from continuing operations) during a 3 -year performance period. The actual number of performance shares and performance restricted units that will be paid out upon vesting is dependent upon actual performance and may range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares or units, as applicable. The 2019 restricted stock units will vest based on the expiration of a 3 -year time-vesting period. For the nine months ended September 30 , 2019, 91,816 performance restricted stock units were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $46.10 , and 105,348 restricted stock units were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $45.98 , which is based on the closing market price of one share of Alliant Energy’s common stock on the grant date of the award. As of September 30, 2019 , 122,720 shares were included in the calculation of diluted EPS related to the nonvested equity awards. |

Balance Sheet Offsetting - The fair value amounts of derivative instruments subject to a master netting arrangement are not netted by counterparty on the balance sheets. However, if the fair value amounts of derivative instruments by counterparty were netted, amounts would not be materially different from gross amounts of derivative assets and derivative liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (payable) are not offset against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES NOTE 14(a) Capital Purchase Commitments - Various contractual obligations contain minimum future commitments related to capital expenditures for certain construction projects. IPL’s and WPL’s projects include the expansion of wind generation, and WPL’s projects also include the West Riverside Energy Center. At September 30, 2019 , Alliant Energy’s, IPL’s and WPL’s minimum future commitments for these projects were $124 million , $79 million and $45 million , respectively. NOTE 14(b) Other Purchase Commitments - Various commodity supply, transportation and storage contracts help meet obligations to provide electricity and natural gas to utility customers. In addition, there are various purchase commitments associated with other goods and services. At September 30, 2019 , the related minimum future commitments were as follows (in millions): Alliant Energy IPL WPL Purchased power (a) $145 $144 $1 Natural gas 892 460 432 Coal (b) 117 76 41 Other (c) 76 43 24 $1,230 $723 $498 (a) Includes payments required by PPAs for capacity rights and minimum quantities of MWhs required to be purchased. As a result of an amendment to shorten the term of the DAEC PPA, Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s amounts include minimum future commitments related to IPL’s purchase of capacity and the resulting energy from DAEC through September 2020, and do not include the September 2020 buyout payment of $110 million . (b) Corporate Services entered into system-wide coal contracts on behalf of IPL and WPL that include minimum future commitments. These commitments were assigned to IPL and WPL based on information available as of September 30, 2019 regarding expected future usage, which is subject to change. (c) Includes individual commitments incurred during the normal course of business that exceeded $1 million at September 30, 2019 . NOTE 14(c) Guarantees and Indemnifications - Whiting Petroleum - In 2004, Alliant Energy sold its remaining interest in Whiting Petroleum. Whiting Petroleum is an independent oil and gas company. Alliant Energy Resources, LLC, as the successor to a predecessor entity that owned Whiting Petroleum, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF, continues to guarantee the partnership obligations of an affiliate of Whiting Petroleum under general partnership agreements in the oil and gas industry, including with respect to the future abandonment of certain platforms off the coast of California and related onshore plant and equipment owned by the partnerships. The guarantees do not include a maximum limit. As of September 30, 2019 , the present value of the abandonment obligations is estimated at $38 million . Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees of which it is probable that Alliant Energy Resources, LLC will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to these guarantees as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - In July 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a cash equity ownership interest in a non-utility wind farm located in Oklahoma. The wind farm provides electricity to a third-party under a long-term PPA. Alliant Energy provided a parent guarantee of its subsidiary’s indemnification obligations under the related operating agreement and PPA. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the operating agreement were $82 million as of September 30, 2019 and will reduce annually until expiring in July 2047 . Alliant Energy’s obligations under the PPA are subject to a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in December 2031 , subject to potential extension. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to this guarantee that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to this guarantee as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . IPL’s Minnesota Electric Distribution Assets - IPL provided indemnifications associated with the 2015 sale of its Minnesota electric distribution assets for losses resulting from potential breach of IPL’s representations, warranties and obligations under the sale agreement. Alliant Energy and IPL believe the likelihood of having to make any material cash payments under these indemnifications is remote. IPL has not recorded any material liabilities related to these indemnifications as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The general terms of the indemnifications provided by IPL included a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in October 2020 . NOTE 14(d) Environmental Matters - Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Sites - IPL and WPL have current or previous ownership interests in various sites that are previously associated with the production of gas for which IPL and WPL have, or may have in the future, liability for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs. IPL and WPL are working pursuant to the requirements of various federal and state agencies to investigate, mitigate, prevent and remediate, where necessary, the environmental impacts to property, including natural resources, at and around these former MGP sites in order to protect public health and the environment. At September 30, 2019 , estimated future costs expected to be incurred for the investigation, remediation and monitoring of the MGP sites, as well as environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheets for these sites, which are not discounted, were as follows (in millions). At September 30, 2019 , such amounts for WPL were not material. Alliant Energy IPL Range of estimated future costs $14 - $31 $12 - $25 Current and non-current environmental liabilities 19 16 IPL Consent Decree - In 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa approved a Consent Decree that IPL entered into with the EPA, the Sierra Club, the State of Iowa and Linn County in Iowa, thereby resolving potential Clean Air Act issues associated with emissions from IPL’s coal-fired generating facilities in Iowa. IPL has completed various requirements under the Consent Decree. IPL’s remaining requirements include fuel switching or retiring Burlington by December 31, 2021 and Prairie Creek Units 1 and 3 by December 31, 2025. Alliant Energy and IPL currently expect to recover material costs incurred by IPL related to compliance with the terms of the Consent Decree from IPL’s electric customers. Other Environmental Contingencies - In addition to the environmental liabilities discussed above, various environmental rules are monitored that may have a significant impact on future operations. Several of these environmental rules are subject to legal challenges, reconsideration and/or other uncertainties. Given uncertainties regarding the outcome, timing and compliance plans for these environmental matters, the complete financial impact of each of these rules is not able to be determined; however future capital investments and/or modifications to EGUs to comply with certain of these rules could be significant. Specific current, proposed or potential environmental matters include, among others: Effluent Limitation Guidelines, Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, and various legislation and EPA regulations to monitor and regulate the emission of greenhouse gases, including the Clean Air Act. Clean Air Act Section 111(d) - In July 2019, the EPA published the final Affordable Clean Energy rule, which repeals the Clean Power Plan effective September 6, 2019. The final rule establishes emission guidelines for states to develop plans by July 2022 to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal-fired EGUs, and is subject to legal challenges. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the final outcome or impact of these matters. NOTE 14(e) Collective Bargaining Agreements - At September 30, 2019 , employees covered by collective bargaining agreements represented 54% , 60% and 82% of total employees of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL, respectively. On May 31, 2019, WPL’s collective bargaining agreement with International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 965 expired, representing 27% and 82% of total employees of Alliant Energy and WPL, respectively. In November 2019, the parties reached a new agreement, which expires May 31, 2022. |

Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to these guarantees of which it is probable that Alliant Energy Resources, LLC will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to these guarantees as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - In July 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEF acquired a cash equity ownership interest in a non-utility wind farm located in Oklahoma. The wind farm provides electricity to a third-party under a long-term PPA. Alliant Energy provided a parent guarantee of its subsidiary’s indemnification obligations under the related operating agreement and PPA. Alliant Energy’s obligations under the operating agreement were $82 million as of September 30, 2019 and will reduce annually until expiring in July 2047 . Alliant Energy’s obligations under the PPA are subject to a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in December 2031 , subject to potential extension. Alliant Energy is not aware of any material liabilities related to this guarantee that it is probable that it will be obligated to pay and therefore has not recognized any material liabilities related to this guarantee as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . IPL’s Minnesota Electric Distribution Assets - IPL provided indemnifications associated with the 2015 sale of its Minnesota electric distribution assets for losses resulting from potential breach of IPL’s representations, warranties and obligations under the sale agreement. Alliant Energy and IPL believe the likelihood of having to make any material cash payments under these indemnifications is remote. IPL has not recorded any material liabilities related to these indemnifications as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The general terms of the indemnifications provided by IPL included a maximum limit of $17 million and expire in October 2020 . NOTE 14(d) Environmental Matters - Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Sites - IPL and WPL have current or previous ownership interests in various sites that are previously associated with the production of gas for which IPL and WPL have, or may have in the future, liability for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs. IPL and WPL are working pursuant to the requirements of various federal and state agencies to investigate, mitigate, prevent and remediate, where necessary, the environmental impacts to property, including natural resources, at and around these former MGP sites in order to protect public health and the environment. At September 30, 2019 , estimated future costs expected to be incurred for the investigation, remediation and monitoring of the MGP sites, as well as environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheets for these sites, which are not discounted, were as follows (in millions). At September 30, 2019 , such amounts for WPL were not material. Alliant Energy IPL Range of estimated future costs $14 - $31 $12 - $25 Current and non-current environmental liabilities 19 16 IPL Consent Decree - In 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa approved a Consent Decree that IPL entered into with the EPA, the Sierra Club, the State of Iowa and Linn County in Iowa, thereby resolving potential Clean Air Act issues associated with emissions from IPL’s coal-fired generating facilities in Iowa. IPL has completed various requirements under the Consent Decree. IPL’s remaining requirements include fuel switching or retiring Burlington by December 31, 2021 and Prairie Creek Units 1 and 3 by December 31, 2025. Alliant Energy and IPL currently expect to recover material costs incurred by IPL related to compliance with the terms of the Consent Decree from IPL’s electric customers. Other Environmental Contingencies - In addition to the environmental liabilities discussed above, various environmental rules are monitored that may have a significant impact on future operations. Several of these environmental rules are subject to legal challenges, reconsideration and/or other uncertainties. Given uncertainties regarding the outcome, timing and compliance plans for these environmental matters, the complete financial impact of each of these rules is not able to be determined; however future capital investments and/or modifications to EGUs to comply with certain of these rules could be significant. Specific current, proposed or potential environmental matters include, among others: Effluent Limitation Guidelines, Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, and various legislation and EPA regulations to monitor and regulate the emission of greenhouse gases, including the Clean Air Act. Clean Air Act Section 111(d) - In July 2019, the EPA published the final Affordable Clean Energy rule, which repeals the Clean Power Plan effective September 6, 2019. The final rule establishes emission guidelines for states to develop plans by July 2022 to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal-fired EGUs, and is subject to legal challenges. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are currently unable to predict with certainty the final outcome or impact of these matters. NOTE 14(e) Collective Bargaining Agreements - At September 30, 2019 , employees covered by collective bargaining agreements represented 54% , 60% and 82% of total employees of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL, respectively. On May 31, 2019, WPL’s collective bargaining agreement with International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 965 expired, representing 27% and 82% of total employees of Alliant Energy and WPL, respectively. In November 2019, the parties reached a new agreement, which expires May 31, 2022. |

Summary Of Significant Accoun_2
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy) | 9 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2019 | |
General, Basis of Accounting | The interim unaudited Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the latest combined Annual Report on Form 10-K . |
General, Use of Estimates | In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which unless otherwise noted are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 |
General, Reclassification | Certain prior period amounts in the Financial Statements and Notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents - At September 30, 2019 , Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s cash and cash equivalents included $174.4 million and $173.7 million of money market fund investments, with interest rates of 2.0% and 2.0% , respectively. |
Leases | Leases - The determination of whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease occurs at the inception of the arrangement. Arrangements that qualify as leases are classified as either operating or finance. Operating and finance lease liabilities represent obligations to make payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Leases with initial terms less than 12 months are not recognized as leases. For operating leases, an incremental borrowing rate, as determined at the lease commencement date, is used to determine the present value of the lease payments. For finance leases, the rate implicit in the lease is used to determine the present value of the lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Finance lease expense is comprised of depreciation and interest expenses. Finance lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the underlying asset or the lease term. |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards - Credit Losses - In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring use of a current expected credit loss model rather than an incurred loss method, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of credit losses on trade receivables and certain other assets. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, which requires cumulative effect adjustments to retained earnings on January 1, 2020 upon adoption. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will continue to evaluate the impact of this standard and do not currently expect a material change to their financial condition or results of operations as a result of adopting this standard. Cloud Computing Arrangements - In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard that clarifies capitalization and presentation requirements of implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 and are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on their financial statements. Leases - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard requiring lease assets and lease liabilities, including operating leases, to be recognized on the balance sheet. The accounting for capital leases, now referred to as finance leases, remains unchanged with the adoption of this standard. Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using an optional transition approach and there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. Prior period amounts have not been restated to reflect the adoption of this standard and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Upon transition to the new standard, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL elected the land easement transition practical expedient, for which existing land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the original accounting standards did not need to be evaluated under the new accounting standard. In addition, Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL evaluated land easements that were previously accounted for as leases and determined that the majority of these land easements relate to joint-use land sites, and do not meet the criteria for leases under the new accounting standard. Therefore, these land easement arrangements are no longer reflected as operating leases effective January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of leases. |
