Missouri greenlights Lincoln County battery storage project. Residents are angry. Ameren Missouri officials said they chose a site in rural Lincoln County to build a lithium ion battery energy storage system and a potential solar farm because the site was close to existing high-powered transmission lines, pictured here on August 2, 2026. The energy storage proposal is pending state regulator approval, while Ameren has yet to submit paperwork for the solar farm. * Ethan Colbert | Post-Dispatch Residents in Eolia and nearby communities in northern Lincoln County are upset by a proposal from Ameren Missouri to build a battery energy storage site and a potential 1,100-acre solar farm nearby. The project has pitted rural farmers against environmentalists in St. Louis who are advocating for Ameren's renewable energy project. * Ethan Colbert | Post-Dispatch A high-tech energy storage project slated for rural northern Lincoln County was approved Wednesday by state utility regulators despite concerns from nearby residents. The 4-0 vote from members of the Missouri Public Service Commission paves the way for Ameren Corp.'s push to build a 250-megawatt battery farm on 12 acres near the village of Eolia. Once built, the site will store energy generated elsewhere and then release it as demand requires. "Deploying these projects now helps prepare the grid for how our customers will use energy in the years ahead," Ajay Arora, Ameren's executive vice president, said Wednesday in a statement. People are also reading... Resident reaction after the ruling ranged from anger to resignation. Andrea Young, who lives near the proposed site, chastised the commissioners for attending a public hearing via video feed this summer in Eolia, which sits along the Lincoln and Pike county line, 75 miles north of St. Louis. "They didn't even care to show up in person," Young said on Wednesday. "And I don't believe for a minute that they could even find Eolia on a map. So I don't think we were heard at all." Ameren pitched the project, dubbed "Millcreek Energy Center," in July. Once built, it would be capable of powering about 180,000 homes for four hours, according to the St. Louis-based electric monopoly. Opposition to the Lincoln County project was vocal and swift. Neighbors and farmers organized town halls, urged their county commissioners to intervene and filed dozens of letters with the Public Service Commission. And they asked pointed questions of Ameren and the PSC about costs, land use, fire risks and potential data center development - despite Ameren's assurances that data centers aren't part of the plan. PSC commissioners said Wednesday they were satisfied by the way public concerns were addressed. "There was a lot of misinformation" at public hearings, said PSC chair Kayla Hahn. Commissioner John Mitchell called the concerns "intensely local issues." "And although the commission is approving the concept, the local governments still have both the authority and the obligation to impose additional requirements," he said. On Wednesday, Eolia-area residents disagreed. Joe Gray, a mechanical engineer who lives a few miles from the proposed battery farm, said Ameren's response to the community's concerns about fire risks was "questionable at best." He said many in the community are concerned how the region's all-volunteer fire department would respond to a potential fire at the battery farm. He said Ameren officials have told the community their goal would be to keep the fire from spreading to the other batteries, which are housed in shipping container-like structures. He said Ameren's pledges to train local firefighters and to build a water tower on-site didn't sway him. "We've got people who are doing their dog-gone best to learn as much as they possibly can and as fast as they can," Gray said. "It shouldn't be up to us to get educated on this. It should be up to Ameren to present credible and accurate information to the neighbors." Gray said he and others began to distrust Ameren's proposal when officials admitted that existing natural gas generation sites in nearby Bowling Green and Vandalia are only used a few days out of the year. Kenzie Aubuchon, a sixth-generation farmer, said while Ameren touts this project as a win for Missourians she sees it very differently. "The only winner here is Ameren," Aubuchon said. "The public did not win. Lincoln County did not win." Get the latest local business news delivered FREE to your inbox weekly. Energy and environment St. Charles County reporter Related to this story.

Cape Girardeau Ameren lineworkers to compete in international competition. FOX23 News at 9 p.m. 4 hours ago CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., (KBSI) - Ameren lineworkers from Missouri and Illinois are preparing to compete against utility workers from around the world at the 42nd International Lineman's Rodeo in Overland Park, Kansas. The competition, scheduled for Oct. 14-17, brings together lineworkers and apprentices to demonstrate their technical skills, teamwork and safety practices. Ameren Missouri will send four journeyman teams, 10 apprentices and nine competition officials and committee members. Among those competing are three lineworkers from Ameren's Cape Girardeau Operating Center: Kolter McBride, Brendan Wilkens and Joshua Jones. Ameren Illinois will send five journeyman teams, four apprentices and six competition officials and committee members. Participants include workers from Belleville, Marion, Centralia, Decatur and other operating centers across the state. The competition, often called the "Lineman Olympics," features events designed to simulate real-world situations utility workers face on the job. Events include the Hurtman Rescue, which tests a worker's ability to rescue an injured colleague from a utility pole, and the Pole Climb, a timed event that evaluates climbing techniques and safety procedures. Competitors will also participate in two mystery events that simulate unexpected situations in the field. Apprentices must complete a written examination in addition to the hands-on challenges. Participants are evaluated on safety, job knowledge, work practices and overall performance. "The work our lineworkers and apprentices perform is essential to delivering safe and reliable energy to our customers," said Landy Wince, senior director of division operations at Ameren Missouri. "This event highlights the professionalism, training and dedication that define their craft and allows them to showcase those skills on an international stage." Jason Klein, vice president of electric operations at Ameren Illinois, said the competition also gives workers an opportunity to learn from others in the industry. "The Lineman's Rodeo is a chance for our lineworkers and apprentices to showcase the skills they use every day to keep the lights on for our customers," Klein said. The event also allows families to see firsthand the skills and safety practices lineworkers use in their daily work.
Arevon secures three 20-year Renewable Energy Credit contracts for its 200 megawatt Panther Energy Project in Illinois. Oct 13, 2026, 08:00 ET Agreements with Ameren Illinois, ComEd, and MidAmerican advance the Perry County solar project and the state's energy goals PERRY COUNTY, Ill. and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 13, 2026/PRNewswire/ - Arevon Energy, Inc., a leading American energy developer, owner, and operator, today announced it has executed three 20-year Indexed Renewable Energy Credit (REC) contracts with Ameren Illinois Company (Ameren Illinois), Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd), and MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican) for its 200 megawatt (MWac)/275 megawatt (MWdc) Panther Energy Project in Perry County, Illinois. The Panther Energy Project is anticipated to begin construction in 2027 and reach completion in 2028, creating an estimated 200 construction jobs.

Ameren: Transmission partnership to leave lasting land improvements at NEMO Fairgrounds. Published on 10/08/2026 at 12:07 pm EDT Ameren Transmission partnership to leave lasting land improvements at NEMO Fairgrounds Key Takeaways: * Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois (ATXI) reached an agreement with the NEMO Fair Association to establish a temporary storage yard to hold supplies for a major transmission project in northern Missouri. * Once the transmission project is complete, the NEMO Fair Association will benefit from approximately 35 acres of upgraded, level ground that can be used for additional parking, storage or other future needs. * Construction on the laydown yard began in August 2026, and it is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Above: Ameren Transmission will provide 35 acres of upgraded, level ground for the NEMO Fair Association to use for additional parking, storage or other future needs. KIRKSVILLE, Mo. (Oct. 8, 2026) - Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois (ATXI) recently reached an agreement with the NEMO Fair Association to establish a laydown yard to store equipment and materials for Ameren's Northern Missouri Grid Transformation Program. Once the transmission project is complete, the NEMO Fair Association will benefit from approximately 35 acres of upgraded, level ground that can be used for additional parking, storage or other future needs. "This partnership is a win-win for ATXI and the NEMO Fair," said Nick Rudis, project manager for Ameren. "Major infrastructure projects require space to safely store materials and equipment. By partnering with the NEMO Fair Association, we're able to strengthen the grid and support this region's future energy needs while also leaving behind improvements that can support the fairgrounds for years to come." Workers are leveling the land, adding rock and installing fencing as part of site improvements. Construction of the laydown yard is expected to be completed by the end of the year, and ATXI has signed a four-year lease agreement to use the land. "We're always on the lookout for opportunities that help us improve the fairgrounds and better serve the community," said Alan Whittom, president of the NEMO Fair Association's board of directors. "We look forward to using the additional space. It will give us flexibility to support activities and events long after the project is completed." After construction is finished, the laydown yard will hold supplies for the Northern Missouri Grid Transformation Program. ATXI, Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission (MJMEUC) and Ameren Missouri are working together on this portfolio of new energy projects. The program includes more than 255 miles of new 345 kilovolt (kV) transmission lines developed in two phases across northern Missouri.

Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance recognizes Sterling Solutions and Ameren with Transforming Supply Chain Award. Proactive, collaborative site access planning on Ameren's LRTP Segment 14 transmission project delivers nearly $4 million in savings to date, with up to $20 million projected over the life of the program. PHOENIX, Ill., Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Sterling Site Access Solutions, America's leading manufacturer of sustainably-sourced, domestically produced Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats, panels and systems, today announced that the Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance (SSCA) has honored Sterling and utility partner Ameren with its Transforming Supply Chain Award. The award recognizes the companies' work together on Ameren's Long Range Transmission Planning (LRTP) Segment 14 project, a 345kV multi-segment transmission build in which proactive, collaborative site access planning reduced schedule risk, lowered cost and advanced sustainability across the project's supply chain. "We are honored and grateful to have been recognized by the SSCA with this award, but it truly is the result of the leadership and strategic approach Ameren took when planning for this project," said Kaye Ceille, CEO of Sterling Solutions. "We've always preached that sustainability and cost-effectiveness go hand in hand, and the results of this project are a shining example of that philosophy." Site access is typically an afterthought on major transmission projects. On LRTP Segment 14, Ameren took a different approach, bringing Sterling into the planning process more than a year before the first mat reached the site. That runway gave the teams time for factory tours, product testing and full alignment across supply chain, procurement and field construction before ground was broken. Ameren was able to source site access materials directly from Sterling as a capital expense rather than leaving it embedded in a prime contractor's scope, reducing risk for Ameren and its contractors alike. A central part of the solution was the introduction of a new product to the Ameren system: Sterling's TerraLam(R) 5-ply Cross Laminated Timber mats. Ameren purchased 5,000 TerraLam mats, manufactured at Sterling's Phoenix, Illinois facility and delivered on a just-in-time basis, to kick off the project. The mats will be used for the two-year construction phase and retain more than half of their useful life for deployment on future projects. The results to date include: * Nearly $4 million in savings realized already, with up to $20 million projected in full project impact * 5,000 TerraLam CLT mats delivered just-in-time, with 60% of product life remaining at the end of the project * 125 fewer truckloads of material moving through local communities, a 33% reduction in construction traffic and 38 metric tons of CO2 avoided * 52% (17) fewer construction crew days required for installation helping to mitigate labor shortages "We knew that we couldn't approach this project with the old playbook - too much has changed across the supply chain," said Frank Niemerg, Director, Transmission Construction Services at Ameren. "By working closely and early with all of our partners, including Sterling, we were able to avoid challenges we might have otherwise encountered deeper into the project. Instead, we delivered a project on time and on budget, all while minimizing the environmental impact." About Sterling Solutions Sterling is America's leading manufacturer of high-quality, cost-effective Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats, panels and systems. Our TerraLam(R) CLT products are sustainably-sourced and domestically produced at commercial-scale plants in Illinois and Texas.
