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 |

Ameren is proposing to build a battery energy storage system at the Castle Bluff Facility. These lithium-ion batteries pose significant environmental risks, particularly the potential for a thermal runaway scenario that could emit toxic smoke over the S County region for an extended period. I would like to attend a public hearing to voice my concerns regarding this project. However, none of the 3 LPHs offered by Ameren are located in STL Co or its bordering counties. The closest in-person hearing is over an hour away from the community where the facility is proposed to be built. Given the potential impact on local residents, I request that a public hearing be scheduled within StL to allow affected community members to participate. |

recently learned of Ameren s request to build new battery energy storage systems, two new solar generation facilities, and a new switching station in our area. I am incredibly concerned as a close resident. I have four young children that swim in our creeks and lakes, fish, hunt, as well as rise livestock and hay. We are a small rural community with volunteer firefighters and EMS. We deeply rely on clean water safe soil and a healthy community. These proposals greatly concern us as the ramifications of these facilities are showing more and more risk to local residents and communities. *see attached |

I am a resident of Troy in Lincoln County, and I am writing to urge opposition to Case EA-2026-1883, regarding the development of battery storage systems, solar generation facilities, and related transmission and associated facilities. Lincoln County is a rural area. We take pride in agriculture of all types. Those who live in the area enjoy the wide-open spaces and beautiful views. The proposed developments outlined in the above-mentioned case go directly against what Lincoln County stands for. I am especially concerned, because introducing this type of development may lead to the creation of data centers in Lincoln County. These centers are known to significantly impact water resources through consumption, *See attached |

I am a resident, farmer, and manufacturing business owner in Lincoln County Missouri. My family has been in Pike and Lincoln County prior to the year 1800. I stand for being a good steward of the lands my family has possessed and profited from for over 200 years. I attended the CCN/Ameren meeting July 28, 2026 in Eolia, MO and I am in strong opposition of Ameren's plan to construct a battery storage facility in Lincoln County, as well as any further plans to construct additional solar farms and any data centers. *See attached |

I respectfully oppose Ameren's proposed battery storage and solar projects in Lincoln County. My family chose to make our home here because of the rural way of life. This is where we are raising our children, teaching them to care for the land, farm, hunt, and appreciate the values that have shaped this community for generations. Once farmland and open spaces are converted to industrial energy facilities, they are changed forever. Please protect the people who already call Lincoln County home and preserve the character and future of our community by denying this project. |

Case No. EA-2026-0183 In the public hearing they discussed a 6 ft fence around the facility. https://extension.psu.edu/environmental-impacts-of-grid-scale-solar-development discusss an 8 foot fence requirement. Deer clear 6 feet and wiith no security monitored/ human entrance needs to be considered (vandals) Scaling 8 feet is harder than 6 feet This lends to the lack of Ameren's part and the lack of no transparencies on any investigations or tests available to the public tells me they haven't reseached this enough. Also the EMF and stray voltage emissions were never discussed in the Eolia Meeting. https://www.merckvetmanual.com/nervous-system/stray-voltage-in-animal-housing/stray-voltage-in-animal-housing#Clinical-Findigs_v3311947 |

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed solar generation facility and battery energy storage system (BESS). One of the main reasons I chose to live in beautiful Eolia, Missouri, is the area's natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and peaceful rural character. The tall trees, wooded landscape, and quiet surroundings make this community a special place to call home. I do not believe there is sufficient justification for clearing these woods and permanently altering the natural landscape to accommodate this project. Once these forests and habitats are gone, they cannot simply be replaced. I believe preserving the area's scenic beauty, wildlife habitat, and rural way of life should be a priority.

I wish to express my concerns and thoughts to the Commission about the Ameren project Millcreek BESS, Quinn Switching Station, Case Number EA-2026-0183. I live within 10 miles of the proposed site for the Ameren Project which has been planned and the future plans of a solar field of which is projected to service a future Data Center. I feel that Ameren is planning a very expensive project for us for a energy source that is unable to stand financially on it's own merits and provides less than 1% of the energy needed to power customers. |

The proposed development must be denied. The parties seeking the development are moving too fast and are ignoring the coming AI-bubble pop; this exact pattern hit telecoms in 2001-2002. The communities and taxpayers were left to burden abandoned projects, muni debt, and environmental contamination/disruption. It is highly unlikely that the parties seeking approval of this project will ever complete it. Missouri taxpayers will not get any benefit. Additionally and specifically, the environmental impacts of the proposed project will be devastating and will result in the project getting tied up in court for years. Sacrificing Missouri's farmland for this project is not in the interest of our public safety. Please deny this project. |

Regarding the prosed Lincoln County Ameren projects in Lincoln County MO (as well as neighboring counties), I am AGAINST these facilities being constructed in the near future, if at all, by this company. 1.Residents report tested calls to buy up their properties, even after telling they are not interested. 2. The claims that these projects are in the interest of bettering the community’s energy resources when weighed against the current controversies statewide over data center development are causing much distrust and disruption to our communities, as well as personal suffering (to those most directly impacted who live in close proximity). This impacts the well being of all ages through financial impacts, potential health risks, and more. |

My Name is Jay Herring and I am a life long resident of Lincoln County mo, I feel that us as residents are not being informed by Ameren up front, it’s like they put the gears in motion , then they want our blessing, this is wrong! I know for a fact that they are over paying for land! The truth of the matter is we as the consumer will be paying for the entire operation, from purchasing land, construction of solar field and battery storage facilities, what will that cost? Ameren can’t tell us because they don’t want us to know, also when asking about environmental concerns/study none have been done, what will it do to wildlife and the environment, these are just some questions that I personally have, look forward to seeing more research. |

My family and I are opposed to the battery stations and solar farms intended to be built in Lincoln County, Missouri. This development will affect everyone in this beautiful community. The huge solar farm will disrupt wildlife, completely change their habitat and force them to relocate. This also takes away a huge amount of land that has been used to grow food for people for decades. For the people in this county, it will lower their quality of life. Their property values will decrease. They will no longer be able to enjoy all of the benefits of living in rural America. There are several downsides to this proposed project with not enough upsides to justify it. Please, we want to keep our homes and let future generations enjoy it as well. |

I'm writing with great concerns over the proposed BESS system. Other than the obvious destruction that's happening to our farm land, there are several other environmental problems. Clearing open fields or forests destroys vegetation and nesting grounds for local animals, specifically our deer population. New power lines, fences, and access roads destroys these paths that our land and air animals travel. We rely on these food sources here locally. Overheating can cause fires that release toxic gases like hydrogen fluoride or carbon monoxide, polluting air and posing immediate risks. Water used to put out battery fires may wash harmful chemical residues into nearby streams. These streams supply our well & livestock water. |

In opposition to Case #EA-2026-0183: I live within 0.5 miles of the proposed Millcreek solar farm. I have no data to validate my opinion, but it is obvious to me Ameren is targeting counties with little to no planning and zoning regulations for solar farms and associated facilities. 28 of the 39 Missouri solar farms are in rural areas with little to no planning and zoning. It is not illegal but is immoral and unethical. I am concerned that predators and other wildlife will be pushed from development areas on to surrounding farms such as mine. God provided farmland for us to feed ourselves and livestock locally and globally. Manufacture of solar components and batteries and destroying farmland and trees is not green energy. |

I have moved to a rural location to get away from things like this and live a more subtle quaint life. One where pollution would be less of an issue, and nature would be preserved. This is going to impact our wildlife habitats, where we even have multiple conservation sites within close proximity of the desired location of these battery facilities. OUR COMMUNITY (EOLIA, MO and SILEX, MO) DO NOT want this being built on our farmlands or neighboring us! This is going to not only impact the ecosystems but our water!

Please vote against the Battery Energy Storage System in Lincoln County. Our farm land is important to keep people fed and our water quality is essential as well. Contamination of the soil and risk of fire are real issues that will affect the people of Lincoln County. Loss of useable farmland is also a significant issue in our country and will eventually lead to us not being able to grow enough to feed people. My husband and I moved to Eolia to get away from the contamination in Saint Louis only to find it is trying to follow us out into the peaceful countryside and farmland that is so essential to our country. If people want solar and battery storage, let them install their own on their own land and don't force it on everyone in the area. |

Dear Missouri PSC, I live in Lincoln County and SUPPORT Ameren’s Millcreek project (Case No. EA-2026-0183) based on private property rights. Lincoln County voters have repeatedly rejected county-wide zoning. I believe individual landowners maintain the right to use, lease, or sell their land as they see fit. The landowners involved are willing participants exercising their lawful rights. Allowing local complaints or moratoriums to strip citizens of their property rights sets a dangerous precedent. Private citizens must not be blocked from using their land to secure their financial future, especially when the project strengthens our power grid and brings in much needed tax revenue. Please approve the Milcreek project. Thank you. |

Reguarding the BESS proposed at hearing held august 26, 2026. I think a majority of public opinion expressed is backed by fear intertwined with lack of information presented and/or explained. The opinions quickly turned into concern with only local electric demand considerations showing a lack of understanding as to the larger picture that this project would achieve. I would urge the comission to ease public anixety with requiring ameren to produce results and or plans for a safety response to potential incidents of the facility. But do not let the public knowledge gap of the actual epirical necessity hinder approving this project. With that being said also produce empirical data on what generation gap this project would close. |

The cost question has not been settled. Right now, EA-2026-0183 asks permission to build Millcreek. ER-2026-0291 is setting the first standalone data-center/large-load rate class, but Ameren admits there were no actual large-load customers operating in the historical test year, so it is using another industrial class as a proxy. The real-world class-cost allocation will be revisited in a future general rate case once at least one 75-MW customer is actually operating and appears in the test-year data. The settlement expressly preserves that fight. And because Millcreek isn't scheduled to operate until 2028, its own costs will also come into rates later—not in ER-2026-0291. |

The volunteer firefighters in Eolia and surrounding communitiesdo not have proper equipment/training to engage in any remediation of battery fires. The Central County (St Charles county) firefighters just finished learning how to put out Tesla battery car fires. how can this be reasonable for volunteers to be expected to perform when a huge county with a huge tax base can handle one Tesla fire? Lincoln County taxpayers should not pay for what Ameren needs. Amber needs to employ their own fire department (fully funded by them and not the taxpayers) for their unique needs with thus BESS system. Their firemen need to be there 24/7/365 for their needs. Our volunteer fire department is meant for residential and small businesses. Not for this. |

All thw risk with batteries and all involved are very dangerious.our domestice and wild animals and us humans are at risk.All of this and the solar will destroy life in this area.We do not need or want this in a very productive farming and livestock area. With this gone who feeds our animals and us.Take your batteries and solar to unproductive areas. This is not leaving a green footprint! It will be leaving total devastation to the land and us. The extra on the land the emissions and erosion to the soil and waterways will be horrible. Ameren cannot start this project in this area. There is too much at risk. |

What are the Megapack 3’s coolant type and per-unit fluid volume, and what is the total fluid inventory across approximately240 units? Please file the safety data sheets. What spill containment design exists for the coolant inventory- and where is this in the record? Will Ameren commit to quarterly groundwater monitoring at its own cost, with results filed publicly, for the operating life of the facility? What financial assurance- bond, escrow, or dedicated fund- guarantees removal and clean up when this facility reaches end of life? The docket shows none. The hazard- mitigation answer in the discovery is redacted. What about the hazards to this community is confidential- and will Ameren move to display it? |

Dear PSC, The Missouri Public Service Commission should reject AE-2026-0183 unless Ameren first demonstrates that existing, previously developed, and brownfield energy sites cannot safely and economically accommodate this project. Ameren Missouri's own published materials demonstrate that battery storage can be located at existing energy facilities and that the company has already pursued this approach. Ameren states that it pursued battery projects at the retired Rush Island and Meramec coal plants, utilizing land that had already been dedicated to energy production for decades. Ameren is also adding the Huck Finn BESS to the existing Audrain Energy Center property. (see attached PDF) |

STOP EA-2026-0183 My family strongly opposes Ameren Missouri’s proposed Millcreek Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). We urge the Missouri Public Service Commission to STOP this project before irreversible damage occurs. A massive battery facility should not be placed in the middle of farmland, woodlands, wildlife habitat, and near our homes and water resources when safer, previously disturbed, industrial, utility, or brownfield sites may be available. The risks are too great to ignore: battery fires and thermal runaway, hazardous materials, emergency-response limitations, impacts to water and wildlife, and potential harm to endangered species.

We respectfully ask the PSC to investigate the proposed Ameren/Union Electric project in Lincoln County and provide transparency regarding its true purpose. Residents have serious concerns that the infrastructure may be intended to support a future large industrial customer, potentially a data center. We are not alleging this is the case; we are asking the PSC to determine whether it is. Please investigate Ameren’s communications with Lincoln County, projected electrical load and capacity, potential customers, and any known water/groundwater needs or impacts. Many residents rely on private wells. We deserve to know what is being planned and whether adequate safeguards are actually in place. |

As I stated I am on the predominantly downwind side of this site. I heard what Ameren has said regarding their safety plans should a fire occur. They advised they will be relying on sensors. I believe the Ameren Taum Sauk disaster also relied on safety sensors and if I’m not mistaken two or more safety sensors failed leading to Amerens disaster! Lithium batteries are notorious for overheating and catching fire. Imagine 12 acres of lithium batteries burning! Nothing can be done but letting them burn themselves out by Amerens own admission! *See Attached |

Ameren has to prove this serves the public interest. We find locally and elsewhere, residents dont want battery farms, solar or data centers. Our petition: over 1,150 signatures in eight days. Between 800 and 900 of them from Lincoln County. Petition: https://www.ipetitions.com/p/lincoln-county-residents/ Our poll: over 600 responses in thirteen hours. Ninety percent opposed. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18tz9vhmu4/ Ameren says on their own website they put batteries on land they already own, next to old power plants. Castle Bluff is at the retired Meramec plant. Big Hollow at Rush Island. Huck Finn at an existing Ameren plant in Audrain County. Millcreek is our farmland. Send help! |

On behalf of Lincoln County residents regarding EA-2026-0183, the proposed 250 MW Millcreek BESS. We support Dr. Marke's position that these projects warrant approval only if large load customers fund them in full. We ask the Commission to establish before deciding: which entity holds fire code and plan review authority over this site and what review has occurred; the status of outstanding USACE, DNR, USFWS and floodplain approvals, with file numbers; and the exact Megapack 3 safety testing relied upon. We ask that any certificate be conditioned on completion of the final Hazard Mitigation Analysis and Emergency Response Plan, and review by the responding fire district, before equipment delivery or energization.

I am writing on behalf of Lincoln County residents regarding Case No. EA-2026-0183 and the proposed 250 MW Millcreek Battery Energy Storage System and Quinn Switching Station. First, we want to say plainly that we support the position Dr. Marke has taken: that these projects warrant support only if large load customers cover their costs in full, and that absent a firm commitment from participating data centers to fund the entire cost, it is not prudent for Ameren Missouri to proceed. We are writing to reinforce that position ahead of the September 16 settlement conference, not to introduce a competing one. See attached for full comments. |

Greetings, I would like to see the referenced project delayed or denied based on the one requirement governed by law in reference to speculation. The stock holders were informed of Ameren's proposed speculation of future increase in revenue/service area. The Lincoln County customer area for Ameren is only about 50% with no significant growth prediction to justify a future need for the proposed project. Speculation of future revenues burden should not be placed on the existing customer base. Please consider the financial impact the speculation spending will cause for existing Lincoln County residents. Best regards, Renee Clark Eolia, MO |

I am deeply concerned about the destruction of our rural farmland for massive solar projects, battery facilities, data centers, and related infrastructure. This land can grow crops, raise livestock, and produce food for American families. People work their entire lives for land like this, and young families dream of farming it someday. We have enough cities and industrial areas—we should not have to sacrifice our countryside too. Our children deserve farms, animals, wildlife, clean water, and a healthy rural place to grow up. Our water sustains our families, crops, and animals. Our farmland feeds America. This is our home, and it is worth protecting for our children and future generations. |

Having a battery farm or solar farm in the area is not a good idea. Battery’s are flammable, and can be very noisy! I go out to the country to get away from the noice. No, I don’t live in Lincoln county, but I’m standing up for the farmers, their land, and what is right. Having a battery center, or solar farm is wrong for the area! If there is a need for this, they can build this in a city where it’s already noisy! Transform parking lots into solar farms! Don’t take away from farmers! Once the soil is gone, it’s gone forever, some of these farms have been passed down from generation to generation. Why would you take that away from someone’s family. There is no positive to adding this to our area, when it can be added to a busier region. |

I strongly oppose Ameren’s Grid Transformation plans (Case No. EA-2026-0183). This project threatens our rural way of life, farmland, and local ecosystem. Key concerns: Safety: Infrastructure poses severe fire risks that our under-resourced rural emergency services cannot handle. Environment & Water: Land clearing strips soil, while runoff from construction contaminants threatens local water systems and wells. Ecosystem: Disrupts wildlife, destroys natural food sources, and worsens local temperatures. Quality of Life: Constant transformer noise, visual pollution, degraded home values, and rising insurance costs.

Lincoln County is a rural area. We take pride in agriculture of all types. Those who live in the area enjoy the wide-open spaces and beautiful views. The proposed developments outlined in the above-mentioned case go directly against what Lincoln County stands for.

I am a Lincoln County resident asking you to please listen to the people who will be directly impacted by the proposed BESS project. I do not want this in my backyard, and if those making this decision honestly asked themselves whether they would want it near their own homes and families, I believe they would understand our concerns. We are worried about potential impacts to groundwater and private wells, fire safety, internet/Wi-Fi connectivity that residents like me depend on for work, utility costs, our rural way of life, and the consequences future generations may inherit. Please put the residents who live here first and take our concerns seriously before allowing this project to move forward. |

I opposed EA-2026-0183. I’m a resident in Lincoln county and live near the proposed area in Silex. We moved out here 10 years ago for the beauty, peace & quiet, to get away from busy areas, and noise. The farm land in MO should be protected and preserved. Wildlife, nature, & water should be protected & preserved. It serves a purpose that is beneficial to our nation and I’d hate to see it taken away from the hardworking farmers and put into the hands of those who don’t value the land for what it is. |

I would like to submit my comments in opposition to the above mentioned project by Ameren. With the growing number of moratoriums and the Federally proposed bills, I feel that Ameren is making an irresponsible decision to speculate and expect customers and investors to finance the future need of a potential Data Center that may or may not materialize. The proposed project of Mill Creek in Lincoln County is not needed by the current customers. If Ameren invests our money in a non-existent project, who will be the greatest loser, (customer or investor) if the project fails to make it to completion or goes out of business? I believe it is the customers. The investors have a choice to buy or sell their stock, customers do not have a choice. |

As a life long resident of Lincoln County, Missouri and Silex, Missouri, I am opposed to the Ameren BESS site ( EA-2026-0183). I live in the county to enjoy the views at night, wildlife and meteor showers. There are just too many unanswered questions about the BESS system and the impact it would have on our community. Safety, noise, light pollution, fires and the ability of volunteer fire fighters to handle them if it happens. The loss of great farm land to possibility be covered in solar panels is not what the community wants. Ameren has plenty of ground around its existing power plants that would be a mush better solution than destroying productive farm land. |

Rual lincoln county residents operate on minimal funds which leads to public service organizations also minimally funded. Our fire departments are often volunteer based, and loaded with second hand trucks, gear, etc. It makes NO sense that a massive battery center would be built near farm land in a rual area with no fire department close by. This poses a very serious risk to everyone near by if this center were to catch fire. Also the water table there is also low with no large amount of water near by to be able to utilize if a fire were to break out. Also, why are we footing the cost of all this? Our electric bills keep going up with no end in sight while their CEOs keep getting large pay outs. |

The Missouri PSC should deny EA-2026-0183 because Ameren has not demonstrated that the proposed 250-MW Millcreek BESS is necessary at this location or that its claimed benefits outweigh its costs and risks. The record raises unresolved questions regarding fire and emergency response, water, environmental and wildlife impacts, and long-term decommissioning responsibility. Ameren also filed key environmental studies only on August 21, 2026. The Commission should require Ameren to identify specific public benefits to Missouri customers and demonstrate that alternatives were adequately evaluated. A moratorium should be imposed until these concerns are independently reviewed and resolved. |

Dear Missouri Public Service Commission, I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed Millcreek Energy Center project proposed in Lincoln County. In recent years, as electricity demand has gone up and old energy resources have been retired, Missouri has gone from an energy producing state to an energy importing state. This shift has jeopardized our ability to provide affordable, reliable electricity for our homes and businesses. Energy storage projects like Millcreek Energy Center provide a powerful solution to this problem. By charging up with energy when it’s produced in excess and releasing it back to the grid when it’s needed most, they help balance supply and demand to meet our growing needs. (see attached PDF) |

Lincoln County resident. Two unraised issues: 1. The Application waives landowner notice under 20 CSR 4240-20.045(6)(K) for Castle Bluff and Huck Finn because Ameren "owns the land." For Millcreek (36.k) it says only Ameren "has already obtained all necessary land rights," omitting any finding that no landowners are affected. Elsewhere it calls this a five-year purchase option. No notice affidavit is in this docket, and none is given for the Quinn Switching Station. 2. Wibbenmeyer surrebuttal p.16: the Hazard Mitigation Analysis is due only "prior to the delivery of the BESS equipment to site," so construction may begin first. No Authority Having Jurisdiction is named anywhere. Please require it filed and approved before construction. |

Surrounding communities rely on milk, eggs, vegetables, beef, venison, chicken, and all the products of farms in Lincoln county to provide nourishing foods to our families. Ameren is going to ruin all of that. It is proven that these facilities ruin wildlife, soil, & water, which in turn ruins not only Lincoln country, but surrounding counties abilities to feed our families quality nourishment.

We need the cleanest, best soil and environment for the health of these animals that we then Consume. And the effect that it will have on our soil, water, air for people nearby this toxic facility is against our will! People in these areas have chosen to be in a clean environment for better health, peace and serenity. Large cities, already glow from many lights, and don’t put their face in the soil and eat from it so that would be a more preferable location than rural land.

Our fire departments are volunteer only. There was no mention of providing these departments with the training and resources in the event of a structure fire at the BESS. The land proposed to be made into said park is highly sought after farm soil. Why take away and mis-use excellent farmground for nothing other than electronics. Ameren mentioned the ability to provide extra electricity during an event - well, most of our electric is above ground. When there is a storm - those poles are usually down and we wouldn’t have electric anyway, this is a null point. |

Ameren says its Hazard Mitigation Analysis will be done before the equipment arrives (Surrebuttal 16:11-12), yet the Stipulation lets it be filed only after the batteries are running (para. 5(c)(ii)). Ameren's promise of responder training and equipment is not in the Stipulation, and fire-water containment is only something Ameren "may develop" (5(c)(iii)).

I respectfully oppose Ameren's proposed battery storage and solar projects in Lincoln County. My family chose to make our home here because of the rural way of life compared to other areas where we could have had city or suburb life. Once farmland and other areas are converted to such types of facilities, this changes the land, the wildlife habitats, and brings up health concerns/physical impacts for the people of this community. There is no true gain for the county to do this. Please protect Lincoln County, where we chose to call home and raise our family! Do not approve for this project to move forward! |

Other states now require it: Maine's BESS-specific decommissioning bond (35-A M.R.S. ch. 34-E, P.L. 2023 c. 215) and North Carolina's S.L. 2023-58 for solar. Ameren's cost is redacted (Application ¶ 36(c)(iii)), so the county cannot even size the risk. I ask the Commission to condition any certificate on a filed decommissioning plan and a bond or escrow, posted before energization, that survives any sale of the facility. |

Lincoln County resident. Re Item 63. Ameren's sworn strategy is that "the BESS container will be allowed to consume itself as designed" (Wibbenmeyer Direct, Item 12, p. 25). Peer-reviewed testing of lithium iron phosphate cells measured hydrogen fluoride release of 40–120 mg per Wh in thermal runaway (Larsson et al., J. Power Sources 271:414, 2014); EPA's one-hour AEGL-2 for HF is 24 ppm. LFP propagates fire less readily than other chemistries — that is fair — but a burn-down plan still needs off-gas data for the actual unit. I ask the Commission to require equipment-specific gas-release data for the Megapack 3, plume modeling for the nearest homes and Highway 61, and protective-action thresholds, filed before delivery. |

Lincoln County resident. Re Item 63 ¶ 5(h)(ii). Test results filed 90 days before installation address the product, not the installation. Both documented Tesla Megapack fires occurred at the site: at the Victorian Big Battery (2021) a coolant leak went undetected while the unit sat in off-line service mode with monitoring absent (Energy Safe Victoria, Statement of Technical Findings, Sept. 28, 2021), and the regulator required cooling-system testing, leak inspection, and monitoring changes before commissioning resumed; a second unit burned at Bouldercombe (2023). I ask the Commission to require a filed commissioning protocol — coolant leak testing, monitoring active in every mode, staged energization — verified before first energization. |

Because ¶ 8 voids the Agreement unless approved "unconditionally and without modification," the parties should confirm on the record which order they intended before the Commission acts, and the Commission should not be asked to approve a factual error it cannot correct. |

Item 63. Ameren's Phase I assessment (Item 43, Att. A, Doc. 887819) is an "administrative split for a reduced area" of a July 8, 2026 original, under an Aug. 12 change order (p. 1). Inherited text still states "The Subject Property is approximately 1,750 acres … bisected north-south by State Highway 61" (§ 3.4.1), while the reduced area is 286 acres west of 61. Ameren's witness calls the site the "Millcreek Solar Energy Development" (Wibbenmeyer Direct p. 15). I ask the Commission to require Ameren to file the July 8 original, state what the 1,750 acres was assessed for, and state whether solar or other development is anticipated on the east side of Highway 61 at this site. |

Lincoln County resident and Ameren customer. Re Item 63 ¶ 5(f), which reserves cost allocation to large-load customers for a later case. The Application swears to 2.8 GW of executed large-load agreements (p. 13, ¶ 72). Missouri's Governor pledged in July 2026, and directed by Executive Order 26-02, that large users cover the full cost of the energy and infrastructure built to serve them. If Millcreek serves that load, residential ratepayers should not carry its return; if it does not, the record should say so. I ask the Commission to require Ameren to state which load Millcreek serves and to adopt the Governor's full-cost standard as a certificate condition rather than defer it. |

Lincoln County resident. Re Item 63. Under EPCRA §§ 311–312, a facility's Tier II chemical inventory reaches the state commission, the county LEPC, and the fire district on the annual cycle after the facility first holds the material — which can trail energization by many months. For 1,000 MWh of lithium cells with electrolyte and coolant, responders need the safety data sheets, quantities, and locations before the first container arrives. I ask the Commission to require Ameren to deliver Tier II-equivalent chemical information and manufacturer emergency response guidance for the actual Megapack 3 unit to Lincoln County LEPC, Northwest FPD, and Eolia FPD at least 90 days before delivery. |

Under 20 CSR 4240-2.115(2) only a party may object. I ask the Commission, before approving the Agreement, to hold an on-the-record presentation at which Lincoln County Emergency Management and the Northwest and Eolia Fire Protection Districts may be heard on the safety conditions, and to direct notice of that opportunity to the Lincoln County Commission. |

Each year some part of Silex has taken water at least once; on [date] Bunker Hill Road at the low crossing near Mill Creek was under [depth]; on [date] the Highway E bridge approach flooded to [depth]. Photographs are dated and available. Ameren's flood study (Item 43, Att. C) addresses the site; the containment question is what leaves it. I ask the Commission to require the detention basins to be sized for fire water plus a design storm, and to require Ameren to state how contaminated runoff would be prevented from reaching Mill Creek during a flood. |

The Application swears 2.8 GW of executed large-load agreements (p. 13, para. 72). I ask the Commission to require Ameren to state on the public record whether Millcreek is E0017, to file the Commission's RERRA verification for E0017 with its supporting load forecast, and to reconcile an IRP-deficiency need with the executed large-load agreements: which load will Millcreek serve? |

Neither is public. I ask the Commission to require Ameren to file publicly the engineering basis for applying Megapack 2 XL results to the Megapack 3 (cells, modules, enclosure, coolant, power electronics, gas generation, fire protection, spacing) and any written transferability determination by Tesla, an independent fire-protection engineer, UL, or the HMA preparer, before installation. |

I ask the Commission to require Ameren to file publicly which fire districts and county officials it has met since Aug. 11, 2026, what was reviewed, and what was agreed, and to condition any certificate on a written emergency-response agreement with Northwest and Eolia Fire Protection Districts before energization. |

I live in Lincoln County. Ameren's filings give four different sizes for the Millcreek BESS site. The Application and Staff say 24 acres. Ameren's flood study says approximately 40 acres. Ameren's Phase I ESA says 286 acres plus 54 acres of Highway 61 right-of-way, out of a 574-acre parcel. The Army Corps approved jurisdictional determination dated September 21, 2026 says approximately 328 acres in Section 23, Township 51 North, Range 1 West. The number 328 appears nowhere in the Application. Before the Commission decides, please require Ameren to state on the record the total acreage under option and the total acreage to be disturbed. |

Please Please help us. I live very near the area where AMEREN wants to build a BESS Facility. I’m so concerned about my well water possibly being affected by toxic runoff if they move ahead with these plans. This is an area in very close proximity to 2 conservation areas and many homes and farms that are on wells. I have neighbors who raise cattle and own other livestock. I’m also concerned about the danger of fires and toxic fumes that may possibly affect our community. If those batteries would catch on fire, it could easily spread to the conservation areas and neighboring farms and prime farmland. I also cannot afford to pay more for electric if this facility affects our electric rates. Myself and all my neighbors are heartbroken. |

I am a resident of Lincoln County and filed an Application to Intervene Out of Time in this case today, Item 64. My full comment is attached, with page and line cites to documents already on this docket. In summary. (1) Item 41 is titled as the Vandalia local public hearing transcript, but the attached document is an unrelated Pettis County matter. Please verify. (2) The Stipulation has the site-specific Hazard Mitigation Analysis submitted only after each facility goes into service. I ask that it be reviewed before. (3) Every capacity position in Michels Direct, Figures 2 through 5, is Load Case 5. Schedule MM-D2 shows Case 1 needs only 400 MW. I ask that the Case 1 equivalents be filed before the Commission acts. |

Further to my comment P202701207. Item 41 on this docket is titled "Transcript - Volume 2 (Local Public Hearing - Vandalia, MO - July 28, 2026)." The document attached to that item is not that transcript. It is a procedural conference in an unrelated matter concerning service boundaries in Pettis County, Missouri. Neither the word "Vandalia" nor the number EA-2026-0183 appears anywhere in it. I have been unable to locate the correct transcript in the public docket and no corrected volume appears to have been filed. The Commission is being asked to decide this case without an evidentiary hearing, on a public record from which one of five volumes of public testimony is absent. Please verify and, if necessary, correct Item 41. |

Further to P202701207, on the Hazard Mitigation Analysis. Wibbenmeyer Surrebuttal, p. 16, says the project-specific HMA "will be completed as part of the design process and prior to the delivery of the BESS equipment to site." Paragraph 5(c)(ii) of the Stipulation provides for submission "after each BESS facility goes into service." These address different things, completion versus submission. I raise it because the Stipulation does not require submission to the Commission before operation begins, no witness was examined on that condition, and I find no requirement anywhere for Commission review of the site-specific analysis before the facility operates. I ask that it be reviewed before service, not after. |

Further to P202701207. Schedule SMW-S1 to the Wills Surrebuttal shows where that timing language came from. It is the Company's marked redline of Staff's proposed conditions. Staff's condition C.b, as Staff drafted it, ended at "developed for each BESS facility," with no timing provision. In the redline the Company struck the period and inserted "will be submitted after each BESS facility goes into service." The same insertion appears on condition C.c, on fire response strategy. Both appear in the Stipulation as filed. I do not suggest anything improper. I ask only that the Commission be aware the post-service timing was the Company's addition to Staff's condition, not Staff's own proposal. |

Further to P202701207. The documents carrying the technical case are not public. The UL 9540A unit-level test result is redacted from Wibbenmeyer Surrebuttal where the outcome would be stated. The hazard analysis behind it has never been filed, cited only as a response to DR MPSC 0103 here and MPSC 0024 in EA-2025-0238. The BESS Capacity Test procedure in Schedule BN-r1, which the Stipulation makes binding for rate base, is not in the public Schedule SW-D8. Two prior environmental site assessments for this property, dated 2/9/2026 and 7/8/2026, are cited by title in Ameren's Limited Phase I and neither is filed.

These are ordinary public comments. They appear to be restricted only because the forms carry home addresses and telephone numbers, which is what the redaction process exists for.

Further to P202701207, on need. Michels Direct, p. 7, ll. 11-14: "Addition of 1,000 MW of BESS by 2030 (including 400 MW which has been approved for construction at the Company's Big Hollow Energy Center and another 545 MW for which the Company is seeking CCNs in this case)." Application Table 1, p. 7, breaks that 545 MW into Castle Bluff 95 MW, Huck Finn 200 MW and Millcreek 250 MW. Schedule MM-D2, "Battery Additions (end of year)" row, shows Case 1, the 500 MW large load case, needs 400 MW by 2030, identical to the 2023 IRP Preferred Plan on the same page. Only Cases 4 and 5 produce 1,000 MW. The 545 MW sought here exists only in the higher cases. |

Further to P202701207. Every capacity position placed before the Commission is drawn on Case 5. Michels p. 16 captions Figure 2 "Winter Capacity Position with Only Existing and Approved Resources - Load Case 5," and Figure 3 the same for summer. Page 16, ll. 5-8, explains Figures 4 and 5, at pp. 17-18, are also Case 5. No capacity position under any other case appears in the testimony. Those figures show winter 2028 at negative 186 MW with Big Hollow's 400 MW already counted, and summer positive 2026 through 2030 at 618, 147, 960, 1,251 and 199 MW. Table 1, p. 9, shows 2028 Case 1 assumes 500 MW of large load and Case 5 assumes 1,000 MW. |

Further to P202701207. Michels p. 9, ll. 9-10: "Cases 6 and 7 are used as the basis for evaluating the cost of resource acceleration to meet near-term LLC demand." Those are the cases where large load rises then falls back to 500 MW in 2039. That evaluation is not in the public record. Wills Surrebuttal p. 7, ll. 11-12, says these resources "would be needed irrespective of large load growth, even though perhaps that need would just come a few years later." At p. 8, ll. 19-21, the question recites that Staff "conditions its conclusion that the Projects are needed on the Commission's factual finding that large load is likely to materialize," citing Staff Rebuttal p. 4. |

Further to P202701207, and last. I do not suggest no need exists or that any party acted improperly. Ameren shows a real winter shortfall in 2028 and has agreements it must serve. The positive summer figures are normal-weather positions, and Michels discusses a separate extreme-weather target at p. 15, ll. 18-21. Case 1 is not a no-data-center case either; it still assumes 500 MW of large load. My point is narrower. The Commission has been shown only the highest case. I ask that Ameren be required to file the Case 1 equivalents of Figures 2 through 5, and the Cases 6 and 7 acceleration-cost evaluation, before the Commission acts on the Stipulation. Both are analyses the Company says it already performed. |

I strongly oppose the proposed Millcreek battery storage facility in Lincoln County. I am a mother, and the thought of placing a massive lithium-ion battery facility near the community where my children, family, and friends live is deeply upsetting. These facilities can experience thermal runaway, difficult-to-control fires, toxic gas releases, evacuations, and contaminated runoff. We should not have to gamble with our children’s health and safety for this project. I urge the Commission to put the people who already live here first and reject this proposal unless it can be proven, independently and beyond doubt, that our families, water, air, and first responders will be protected. |
