Environmental groups propose alternative to MidAmerican's Wind PRIME

The new analysis conducted by Synapse and Energy Futures Groups used utility industry best practices to assess whether the Wind PRIME project is the right set of resource additions to help the utility transition away from its heavy reliance on expensive and polluting coal combustion. The experts used a proven modeling platform that has been adopted in 17 states to identify reliable low cost electricity portfolios. The analysis found that three of MidAmerican's coal plants -- Louisa, Neal 3, and Ottumwa -- are uneconomic and should be retired as soon as feasible. The plan also includes retiring the remainder of the coal plants by 2035 and leverages the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act to add 1,600 MW of battery storage by 2030 and 3,700 MW of solar by 2035. The plan supports adding MidAmerican's proposed 50 MW solar project and approximately a third of MidAmerican's proposed wind additions.

Key Points: 
  • DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 21, Environmental Law and Policy Center, Iowa Environmental Council, and Sierra Club filed joint testimony in MidAmerican's Wind PRIME docket before the Iowa Utilities Board.
  • MidAmerican's Wind PRIME project, which would add 2,042 MW of wind and 50 MW of solar, relies on the company's plans to continue operating 5 large coal-burning power plants in Iowa.
  • The alternative portfolio would also provide more around-the-clock clean energy than MidAmerican's proposed Wind PRIME portfolio.
  • Moms demand that MidAmerican review Wind PRIME to increase renewable investment and close down its remaining, harmful coal plants."
