Ameren Missouri has plans to build a new solar facility next to the existing Montgomery Community Solar Center in New Florence, an hour west of St. Louis, Missouri.
The site, which will become part of the company’s Community Solar program, hopes to meet customer demand to expand their use of renewable energy.
“Customers continue to find the Community Solar program an easy way to increase their use of renewable energy without having to install or maintain a single solar panel at home,” said Greg Lovett, program manager for Community Solar at Ameren, Missouri.
“As we meet subscriber needs, all customers will benefit from the increase in renewable energy and reduced emissions.”
The proposed 7 MW New Florence Community Solar Center must be approved by the Missouri Public Service Commission. If approved, construction could begin next year and be operational in 2026.
It will be the third community solar center Ameren Missouri has built since the program’s inception. The first installation, at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, went into service in 2019.
