Ameren Missouri Adds Solar

Ameren Missouri, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation, announced that the 200-megawatt (MWac)/270-MWdc Huck Finn Renewable Energy Center is now delivering electricity.

The solar project was developed by EDF Renewables North America and achieved commercial operations in December 2024. At full capacity, the electricity generated by Huck Finn Solar is expected to meet the energy needs of over 37,000 homes, making a significant contribution to the local power grid and reducing reliance on non-renewable sources of energy.

“We are transforming the energy grid to enhance reliability and resiliency for customers as well as provide cleaner energy to our communities,” said Mark Birk, chairman and president of Ameren Missouri, in a statement. “Customers depend on Ameren Missouri to continue investing in new sources of generation to ensure reliability and serve customers for decades to come.”

Ameren Missouri is part of St. Louis-based Ameren Corporation and has a generating capacity of 10,500 megawatts. Ameren Missouri has been providing electric and gas service for more than 100 years and has 1.2 million electric and 132,000 natural gas customers in central and eastern Missouri.
