Ameren

Large data centers are coming to Missouri, and they need a lot of power. Right now, there aren’t regulations governing how they will use energy, so Ameren is working to develop new rules.

Ameren Missouri had paused electricity disconnections in the wake of the tornado, but advocates say they have now resumed. The organizations are calling on Ameren to pause disconnections again and forgive utility debt.

The proposed power plant and energy storage facility would occupy a former coal plant.

Ameren Missouri has disconnected more than 100,000 households that were behind on their bills in the past year. Advocates say Missouri laws need to change to better protect people in extreme heat.

Beginning Wednesday, the military force will assist in impacted city neighborhoods to sort through debris and take it to landfills.

The EF3 tornado caused at least $1 billion in damage in the city of St. Louis alone.

Missouri regulators approved an increase for Ameren’s electric rates. Bills will go up by about 12% starting in June.

The Labadie Energy Center and the Sioux Energy Center will have two extra years to limit emissions of mercury and other hazardous air pollutants.

The 15% rate hike would bring in about $446 million for Ameren Missouri if it's approved by state regulators.

The electric utility is asking Missouri regulators to approve a 15% increase in rates, or about $17 more a month on average. Customers can share feedback on the raise at upcoming public hearings.
