Iowa Electric Generation: 2025 Condition of the State Webinar Recording

Each year, IEC Senior Energy Policy Counsel Steve Guyer analyzes the state of Iowa's energy generation, where Iowa's emissions are coming from, and the impacts Iowa's remaining fossil fuel generation has on our environment, health, and pocketbooks.

Iowa’s renewable energy leadership is often praised and for good reason, with a majority of electricity needs supplied by wind and solar. But as the state approaches higher levels of renewable use, our electric utilities continue to own and operate massive coal operations, polluting Iowa’s air and water, risking health, and charging us unnecessary costs on our utility bills. Business as usual, where Iowa utilities continue to burn coal well into the next several decades, is not necessary, not responsible, and will not make the fast but reliable clean energy transition we need possible.

New this year: What impact do data centers and other emerging tech demands have on our energy footprint?
