Alliant Energy Corp. (ISIN: US0188021085) is navigating increased power demand from data centers and AI infrastructure in the Midwest, facing regulatory scrutiny and capital expenditure pressures, but offering stable dividends. The company has secured power supply agreements for gigawatt-scale data center developments by 2030, driven by AI needs, which will boost revenue but necessitate significant upfront investments. While Alliant projects a 7-9% EPS growth through 2028 with approved rate cases, it also faces risks from FERC’s transmission pricing probe and interest rate sensitivity, offering US investors a regulated asset play with potential for diversification within their portfolios.
