Ameren Expands Missouri Solar Park for Community Green Energy
- Join Ameren Missouri in their mission for a greener future with the upcoming New Florence Community Solar Centre, supporting their community solar programme and commitment to net zero emissions by 2045.
Ameren Corporation's electric and gas service arm in Missouri is set to build a new 7 MW solar park, the New Florence Community Solar Centre, to support its community solar programme. This will be the third PV farm built since the launch of the scheme, with construction expected to begin in the spring of 2025 and operations to commence in 2026 pending approval from the Missouri Public Service Commission.
The new project aims to meet the growing demand from customers looking to expand their use of green energy, with over 80% of the PV park's output already subscribed by Ameren Missouri's customers. The company's goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2045, with plans to add 2.8 GW of renewables in Missouri by 2030, including 400 MW of solar energy capacity set to go into service in 2025 and 2026.
