Non-utility Wind Farm in Oklahoma - Alliant Energy’s interest in a non-utility wind farm in Oklahoma commenced in July 2017. As a result, there was no corresponding equity income recognized in the first quarter of 2017. The equity income recognized in the first quarter of 2018 was primarily related to the impacts of Tax Reform. The liquidation method utilized to recognize Alliant Energy’s share of the wind farm’s earnings includes utilizing the federal income tax rate in effect as of the end of the measurement period. The lower federal income tax rate effective as of January 1, 2018 resulted in an acceleration of earnings attributable to Alliant Energy’s interest in the Oklahoma wind farm. This increase in earnings is expected to reverse over time.
