What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Linn County Board of Supervisors unanimously denied a rezoning application for the proposed Morgan Valley Energy Center. Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL) had proposed three single-cycle gas-fired power plants in Linn County. The denial followed concerns that the project did not meet the county’s comprehensive land use plan and that IPL failed to adequately answer questions regarding cooling water.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

IPL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliant Energy. The denial of the rezoning application directly blocks the planned gas power plant operations, which were central to IPL's proposal in Linn County.
