Iowa’s economic future is dependent on maintaining and enhancing a clean,competitive and efficient energy environment.
Iowa traditionally has competitive energy rates and generates a large share of renewable energy - which benefits both the environment and economy. However, Iowa’s competitive business position is diminished by lack of a free market which discourages new innovation and creates disincentives for energy efficiency.
The New World
Energy technology is rapidly changing and, with it, opening unforeseen opportunities. With new solar and renewable generation becoming competitive with traditional energy generation, it’s time to leverage clean energies and energy efficiency to drive down rates and overall energy costs for Iowa businesses.
