Second Nature™ for Your Business

Support renewable energy and make world of difference for your business and the environment.

Join more than 16,000 other customers who support the growth of clean, renewable energy and preservation of our environment by participating in Second Nature. You don't have to change your business to enroll, and it costs as little as $5 a month to make a world of difference.

When your business supports Second Nature, we're able to buy and use more earth-friendly renewable energy, like wind and solar power, and less non-renewable resources, like coal, natural gas and nuclear.

Calculate your potential environmental impact

Every Second Nature customer helps build the demand for green energy, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and strengthen our domestic fuel base.

It's just good business sense

Your support of renewable energy allows your business to:

• Demonstrate a leadership role in your industry
• Gain a competitive edge
• Add value to your brand and generate positive publicity
• Promote socially-responsible business practices and consumer health

• As a business customer, you have a unique opportunity to join Alliant Energy's other business green energy buyers. Nationally, you'll be among the ranks of companies like 3M, Sprint, Lockheed Martin, Good Earth Natural Foods and Starbucks Corporation in supporting the growth and purchase of green power.

Free public relations opportunities

Once your business enrolls in Second Nature, you'll receive access to the Second Nature logo for use in your company's materials and the opportunity to share your business’s green story in the bi-annual Second Nature newsletter distributed to all Second Nature customers.

Second Nature enrollment takes little time

As a business owner or manager, you're busy and time is money, so we've made it as easy as possible to enroll in Second Nature through Your Account.

Simply let us know the monthly dollar amount you'd like to contribute, and we'll start purchasing an equivalent amount of renewable energy.

Note: $5 minimum monthly contribution is required in Wisconsin.

To help you determine the amount of renewable energy your contribution supports, simply divide the monthly contribution amount of $.02. For example, a $50 monthly contribution allows us to buy 2,500 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy - the annual environmental impact of planting seven acres of trees or not driving more than 65,000 miles each year!
