Missouri PSC approves Ameren Missouri battery storage, solar projects.

Missouri PSC approves Ameren Missouri battery storage, solar projects. The Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) on Oct. 21 approved Ameren Missouri's plans to build three battery energy storage facilities, acquire two solar developments, and construct a new switching station to connect a battery storage project to the transmission system. The projects are intended to support electric grid reliability and provide energy during periods of high demand, including extreme heat and cold. The PSC's approval includes an agreement among Ameren Missouri, PSC Staff, and Renew Missouri. The Office of the Public Counsel (OPC), which represents the public in cases before the commission, was not a signatory but did not object to the agreement. "Deploying these projects now helps prepare the grid for how our customers will use energy in the years ahead," said Ajay Arora, executive vice president and chief growth and generation development officer for Ameren Missouri. "Battery storage can respond within moments to changing grid conditions and provide additional energy when demand is highest." The approved projects include three battery energy storage systems (BESS): * Castle Bluff: A 95-megawatt (MW) battery storage facility in St. Louis County at the retired Meramec coal-fired facility, co-located at the Castle Bluff Energy Center, which is under construction. The project has a targeted in-service date of 2028. * Huck Finn: A 200-MW battery storage facility at Ameren Missouri's Audrain Energy Center in Audrain County, with a targeted in-service date of 2028. * Millcreek: A 250-MW battery storage facility in Lincoln County, targeted to enter service in 2028. The PSC's approval also includes the Quinn Switching Station, a new 161-kilovolt switching station in Lincoln County that will connect the Millcreek battery storage facility to the existing transmission system. Two solar developments are also part of the agreement: * Ringer: A 225-MW solar facility in Stoddard County that Ameren Missouri will acquire from Invenergy. Targeted to enter service in 2029, the facility is expected to produce enough energy to power more than 40,000 homes annually. * Tom Sawyer: A 175-MW solar facility in Audrain County that Ameren Missouri will acquire from EDF power solutions. It has a targeted in-service date of 2028 and is expected to produce enough energy to power more than 31,500 homes annually. The PSC said its decision considered safety and cost protections for Ameren Missouri customers while balancing the interests of landowners near the projects. Under the agreement, Ameren Missouri must address safety, environmental protection, construction oversight and cost reporting for the battery storage facilities. The company said it will work to expand information addressing community concerns about the Millcreek project, including fire safety, battery testing and nearby infrastructure. Ameren Missouri also must submit site-specific hazard mitigation analyses or plans for each battery facility after it enters service, along with information on emergency response procedures, environmental mitigation and containment practices related to fire response, according to the commission. The company must provide documentation of state, federal, and local permits obtained for each battery project and address safety testing before battery installation, including compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 standards for stationary energy storage systems. The agreement also requires Ameren Missouri to notify the commission if a project's total costs change by more than 15 percent of the applicable base or risk-adjusted project costs, explain the reasons for the increase, and describe efforts to mitigate the cost, the PSC said. Additionally, the company must submit quarterly progress reports covering construction milestones, permitting, costs, delays, and potential impacts from legislative or executive actions. For the Millcreek project, Ameren Missouri must meet with OPC and PSC Staff to discuss the results of Tesla Megapack 3 safety testing and steps taken by the supplier to ensure compliance with NFPA 855. At least 90 days before batteries are installed at the Millcreek site, Ameren Missouri must file a public pleading confirming completion of the testing, identifying the results and attaching the supplier's confidential safety testing report for Staff and OPC review. The PSC review included input from residents, local officials, and other stakeholders. "We appreciate the participation of community members and stakeholders throughout the review process, and we're focused on delivering projects that support safe and reliable service for our customers," said Rob Dixon, vice president of regulatory, legislative and external affairs for Ameren Missouri.

Missouri greenlights Lincoln County battery storage project. Residents are angry.

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.

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.
