The Missouri Public Service Commission recently approved a settlement agreement regarding Ameren’s proposal to expand their Montgomery County solar generating facility. Consumers Council played a pivotal role in ensuring that the needs of low-income communities are not forgotten as Ameren expands solar production. As part of the settlement, Ameren agreed to meet with Consumers Council, along with any other interested party, to discuss the potential creation of a future community solar pilot project, to be located in an urban or rural area within Missouri that is designated as disadvantaged, and that would leverage federal funding to provide savings on the electric bills of subscribing customers within that community solar pilot project area.
