Growing up in a big city, Alanda came to Dubuque to invest in community projects. Bringing a unique perspective to how energy impacts owners and renters, Alanda understands people need access to resources to be more energy efficient and that the transition to clean energy must be just. Take a dive into resources Alanda found to help lower her energy burden and ways to build transparency around energy.

We believe stories such as Alanda’s need to be told as we build a case to protect Iowan’s ratepayers. Without protections for energy efficiency and transparency of electric usage, we will continue to find Iowans making difficult decisions- which impact our community as a whole.

Your Dubuque County Energy District appreciates the time Alanda gave to present this story, our funding through the ReAmp network to make this possible, and our partners with the Clean Energy Districts of Iowa to engage communities in an equitable transition to 100% clean and renewable energy sources.
