Search every verified Lisa Barton interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Lisa Barton, president and CEO of Alliant Energy, discussed the company's second quarter 2026 results and reaffirmed its full-year earnings guidance during an August 4 earnings call. She noted that Alliant Energy has committed to avoiding rate reviews for its Iowa retail electric business through 2029, and stated that adding more data centers and accelerating load growth could allow the company to extend that period further. Barton said the company announced 370 megawatts of additional load growth and could add several hundred more megawatts of data centers, potentially extending growth beyond 2029. Barton also addressed criticism of PJM market narratives, saying the math is "self-explanatory" and that growth enables flat rates in Iowa, while cautioning that moratorium discussions in large states warrant attention. She confirmed that recent treasury modifications on repair deductions have no impact on the company's cash flows, as Alliant Energy is not subject to the alternative minimum tax.
