I have concerns about the Ameren Illinois Eastern Missouri Grid Transformation in Marion County Missouri. Has this been commissioned? This is an Ameren Illinois project effecting many Missouri residents. I live at 5650 Wisteria Lane, Palmyra Missouri where it is in the proposed for the watts to increase from 161 to 345 kv to include new steel monopole structures. The complaints and concerns I have are 1. Few benefits to Missouri residents 2. The new structures will propose health concerns due to close proximity. 3. Wildlife concerns of high structures. There are migratory birds in close proximity including bald eagles that live nearby. 4. Noise from the structures. Can hear noise from the current ones. 5. Lowering land value.

This concern is for EA-2026-0183 where Ameren is requesting to build a 200mw battery plant at the Huck Finn facility in Audrain County. Although the probability is low for a significant battery fire/explosion, it is still a possibility. Is it wise to put this facility near a major Panhandle Eastern natural gas line? Additionally, our fire response is a volunteer fire department who likely cannot handle something of this magnitude should it occur. Ameren has other safer locations where this battery facility can be placed.

The expansion of this project as are others are hurting the local economy by reducing the amount of prime agricultural ground. Expansion should be processed into using underutilized area like road right of ways . Not prime cleared farmground.

I have attached a report that was released in January, 2026, describing the fire hazard these facilities pose. Has Ameren or the PSC discussed fire hazards of these BESS facilities? Does Ameren have contingency plans should one of these facilities catch fire? After reading this report, I would suggest asking Ameren how they would handle a burning BESS facility prior to approving their request. Do they have any plans to remediate any environmental damage caused by a fire? Would there be any human health concerns? If Ameren has no answers, I would suggest waiting to approve these facilities until they do. If possible, please send me an email confirming your receipt of this email and report. See attached
