ST.
LOUIS, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Ameren Missouri announced 500 megawatts (MW) of new solar
generation, representing a total investment of approximately
$950 million, are now serving
customers. Combined, the three facilities are anticipated to
generate energy sufficient to power 92,000 homes
annually.
"We are transforming the energy grid to enhance reliability and
resiliency for customers as well as provide cleaner energy to our
communities," said Mark Birk,
chairman and president of Ameren Missouri, a subsidiary of Ameren
Corporation (NYSE: AEE). "Customers depend on Ameren Missouri to
continue investing in new sources of generation to ensure
reliability and serve customers for decades to come."
The three facilities are: the 200-MW Huck Finn Renewable Energy
Center, the 150-MW Boomtown Renewable Energy Center and the 150-MW
Cass County Renewable Energy Center.
Both the Cass County and
Boomtown facilities will serve Ameren Missouri's Renewable
Solutions program. Organizations from

increasing their use of renewable energy and supporting its
development in our region. As part of the program, participating
organizations will also receive renewable energy credits.

construction of additional new sources of energy to ensure
reliability for customers. In 2027, an 800-MW simple-cycle natural
gas energy center is expected to be ready to serve as a reliable
backup source of energy. The Castle Bluff Energy Center represents
