Ameren Missouri is proposing a new solar energy project in Callaway County, and the Missouri Public Service Commission is asking for public input.

The project, known as the Reform Renewable Energy Center, would be a 250-megawatt solar facility built near the Callaway Energy Center, designed to expand renewable energy and strengthen the region’s power supply.

Two public hearings have been scheduled. An in-person hearing will take place January 6th at 6 p.m. at the Fulton Rec Center, followed by a virtual hearing at noon on January 8th.

Ameren customers and residents are encouraged to share comments or concerns before regulators make a final decision later this year.
