Ameren Helps Developers Target Communities For Data Center Nightmare
Bob Clark claims in his video that folks from Ameren would regularly meet with people from Clayco CRG to help target communities for Clayco CRG’s lawyers and consultants. It seems that the citizens of Festus have had their own utility company working against them. Ameren is building the Big Hollow Energy Center to power the Festus data center, and a new Missouri Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) law will allow Ameren to force its customers to fund the construction of the power plant before it ever goes online. The Festus data center will more than double the load needed in the area, and it is Ameren’s customers who are going to pay for the buildout of energy generation while Ameren’s (NYSE:AEE) stock price goes up and up.
