MidAmerican Energy announced Friday a forward-looking electric generation plan designed to ensure long-term reliable power for customers while maintaining its position as one of the lowest-cost electricity providers in the United States.
Company officials say the plan, called a resource study, filed with the Iowa Utilities Commission, reflects MidAmerican’s all-of-the-above strategy that combines a strong, continued commitment to renewable energy with proven, on-call power sources to meet the significant projected growth in customers’ electric demand.
By adding solar, natural gas, and nuclear energy, company officials say the expanded resources combine renewable generation with power sources that are available on demand, allowing MidAmerican to ensure it can deliver reliable energy even during peak times and challenging weather conditions.
The plan filed with the utilities commission is informational and does not require commission action.
