Receivables | RECEIVABLES (a) Sales of Accounts Receivable - IPL maintains a Receivables Agreement whereby it may sell its customer accounts receivables, unbilled revenues and certain other accounts receivables to a third-party financial institution through wholly-owned and consolidated special purpose entities.

In exchange for the receivables sold, IPL receives cash proceeds from the third-party financial institution and deferred proceeds recorded in “Accounts receivable” on Alliant Energy’s and IPL’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(b) Franklin County Wind Project Cash Grant - In accordance with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Alliant Energy filed an application with the U.S. Department of the Treasury in February 2013 requesting a cash grant for a portion of the qualifying project expenditures of the Franklin County wind project that was placed into service in December 2012. In March 2013, Alliant Energy received the proceeds from the cash grant, resulting in a $62.4 million decrease in “Accounts receivable - other” on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The grant proceeds were used by Alliant Energy to reduce short-term borrowings incurred during the construction of the wind project.
