Ameren Missouri recently announced a planned acquisition of company's largest-ever solar facility, a 200 megawatt (MW solar installation in central Missouri.
The Huck Finn Solar Project is planned to be constructed on the border of Audrain and Ralls counties. Construction is expected to create about 250 jobs and, once functional, produce enough energy to power approximately 40,000 homes. The facility will be located adjacent to the Audrain Energy Center on Route P near Vandalia and Farber. The facility was formerly known as the old Duke Energy plant.
Audrain County Presiding Commissioner tells the Mexico Ledger this was one of the first solar projects talked about in the county. "We made sure people and infrastructure in Audrain County were being protected and made sure the company would pay their fair share. Payments will be made to Audrain County and treated as property tax and reimbursements will go to schools and other taxing entities. The Van-Far School District will greatly benefit from the project."
According to Ameren Missouri based on current projections, the project could begin generating clean energy as soon as late 2024. Ameren Missouri announced last June, the facility will be acquired pursuant to a build-transfer agreement with EDF Renewables.
