Alliant Energy's plan to add battery storage at the Golden Plains Wind Farm in Iowa has been halted after the Kossuth County Board of Adjustment denied its permit request. Despite proposing a joint agreement with the county, legal advice indicated that any new application would require significant changes, prompting county leaders to explore the possibility of constructing the facility outside Kossuth County. The Golden Plains Wind Farm has been operational since 2020, and Alliant is concurrently expanding battery storage at other locations in Iowa.
