Alliant Energy
Robert Durian is the CFO of Alliant Energy.
PUF: How does your company view the electric industry's transformation (decarbonization, electrification, digitization), and what's your strategy — technologies, resilience, operational efficiency, customer experience — to succeed in it?
Robert Durian: Our industry has a history of adapting to change. It may be a bit more measured with change than other sectors, but foundational to the stability and growth of our country. For example, decades ago energy became networked — and as a result, increasingly more affordable and reliable.
Today, energy is becoming integrated — sustainable, smart, and adaptable. Increasingly, it's the changing expectations of customers that are at the heart of our industry's need for continued transformation.
From decarbonization to electrification to digitization — shifts in customer expectations are at the center of these changes. These changing customer expectations are also critical to the development of our customer-focused strategy.
Key areas of Alliant Energy's strategy include building a cleaner energy future, creating a more personalized customer experience, providing affordable energy solutions for customers, and growing customer demand through electrification.
