Ameren may turn to natural gas to make up for shuttering Rush Island coal plant
AUGUST 17, 2022
Ameren Missouri may restart natural gas burners to offset the court-ordered shuttering of a coal-fired power plant that violated federal law, the company told state regulators Wednesday.
The St. Louis-based electric utility announced late last year that it would retire its Rush Island Energy Center in early 2024 after a federal court found in 2019 that the plant violated the Clean Air Act.
