The City of Perry will be home to Iowa’s first customer hosted solar project after a lease agreement was reached with Interstate Power and Light Company, also known as Alliant Energy. Perry City Administrator Sven Peterson says the project is through the customer hosted solar program. Peterson says the city has been trying to get solar developed on the brownfield site for some time now. “This is going to be actually the first installation of this program in the state of Iowa. So, it’s really exciting for Perry to be able to be that first project but I would have to say the project probably goes all the way back into the early 2010s.”
