Operator
Good morning, and welcome to the Alliant Energy's conference call for the first quarter 2022 results. This call is being recorded for rebroadcast. [Operator instructions] I would now like to turn the call over to your host, Zac Fields, investor relations at Alliant Energy.
Zac Fields -- Lead Investor Relations Analyst
Good morning. I would like to thank all of you on the call and on the webcast for joining us today. We appreciate your participation. Joining me on this call are John Larsen, chair, president and CEO; and Robert Durian, executive vice president and CFO.
Following prepared remarks by John and Robert, we will have time to take questions from the investment community. We issued a news release last night announcing Alliant Energy's first quarter 2022 financial results. This release as well as an earnings presentation will be referenced during today's call and are available on the investors page of our website at www.alliantenergy.com. Before we begin, I need to remind you that the remarks we make on this call and our answers to your questions include forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks that could cause actual results to be materially different. Those risks include, among others, matters discussed in Alliant Energy's press release issued last night and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. At this point, I'll turn the call over to John.
John Larsen -- Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Zac. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us. 2022 was off to a solid start with over 25% of our annual earnings achieved year to date, and we are reaffirming our consolidated 2022 earnings guidance of $2.67 to $2.81.
I'll share some of the key highlights and then turn the call over to Robert for more details relating to our financial performance, renewable investments and regulatory matters. First, our temperature-normalized sales were ahead of forecast, continuing a trend we saw throughout most of last year and a key indicator of the strong and diverse customer base we proudly serve. We also had increased interest and activity on the economic development front, including the recent announcement that one of the largest Amazon facilities in the country will be built near Cottage Grove, Wisconsin. The warehouse and distribution facility would total 3.4 million square feet and create approximately 1,500 jobs.
