"the parent company of MidAmerican Energy" thanked Iowa's congressional delegation for their strong support of the production tax credit (PTC) extension.

Bill Fehrman, president and CEO of MidAmerican Energy, stated "The proposed wind expansion will not only add to MidAmerican Energy?s and Iowa?s position as a national leader in wind generation capacity, it will help reduce future rates to our customers by as much as $10 million per year and further enhance our corporate principle of environmental respect by reducing our carbon footprint by 10.3 percent."
