According to the spokesperson, because of the storm’s significant impact in the Midwest, some customers might be without power for several days.
Alliant Energy reached out to TV6 with the following statement:
“Severe weather moving through Iowa is causing significant damage and widespread power outages. Power lines are down and, before restoration can begin, there will be many trees to clear. As soon as it’s safe to do so, Alliant Energy crews will begin working to assess the situation and working to restore services. As of right now, the company is unable to provide an estimate time of full restoration.
