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. |

I am a Lincoln County Resident in Elsberry Mo. I am reaching out to you because I am extremely concerned to hear of Ameren's intention to build a solar/ battery field. In the public hearing they held on July 28th, they stated that it can and will turn into a data center when a deal is struck and our community is strongly opposed to this! (See attached PDF) |

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. |

i am writing this to ask you to please help us protect our farmland for our future generations. We moved to Silex Mo 30 years ago, in that time the county has tripled in size, most of that seems to have come from St Louis area. I know my husband and I moved out here to get our kids somewhere that they could play outside in the fresh air, we got away from the noise and pollution of an urban area. My grandson made us promise to never sell our property because he loves it here. When he's with his mom he's on the computer or watching TV, out here he can ride his dirt bike, he loves mowing and weed earing. (See attached PDF) |

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. |

I am writing to formally express my opposition to the proposed solar farm development in our county. Our community has already accepted multiple large-scale solar developments. We have done our part in supporting renewable energy, and we believe it is time for our county to recognize that enough is enough. Additional industrial solar projects do not belong in our rural communities and should not come at the expense of our farmland, our residents, and the character of the place we call home.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed battery energy storage facility and any future expansion of industrial energy projects, including additional solar farms and data centers, in our community. This issue is deeply personal to my family. We have already been forced to move once because neighboring landowners sold their property to large solar companies. While they had every legal right to do so, families like mine were left with an impossible choice: remain surrounded by an industrial solar development or leave the place we called home. We chose to move because we refused to live in the middle of what had once been productive farmland and a quiet rural community. (see attached PDF)( |

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. |

Case No. EA-2026-0183 I strongly urge to consider a different location for the battery facility. This is going to directly impact me, my family, and neighbors. 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! We already have enough things to worry about, NOT Ameren pressuring |

Given the proximity to these important natural areas, I am concerned about the potential impacts on wildlife habitat, sensitive species, and the long-term preservation of the area's ecological resources. I would like to know whether Ameren has completed a Natural Heritage Review Report for this project.

Opposing Ameren Case No. EA-2026-0183 I strongly oppose Ameren Case No. EA-2026-0183 and the proposed Millcreek Battery and Solar Farm. This proposal is about far more than a single project. It is about what kind of world we choose to leave for our children and grandchildren. Once productive farmland, wildlife habitat, and open spaces are converted into an industrial energy complex, they cannot simply be restored to what they once were. We have a responsibility to be good stewards of our land, water, and natural resources—not to sacrifice them for short-term gains. *See Attached |

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. |

Opposition to Millcreek BESS — EA-2026-0183 I am a Lincoln County resident living in the Eolia area, and I respectfully ask the Missouri Public Service Commission to deny Ameren Missouri's request for a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity for the proposed Millcreek Battery Energy Storage System, or at minimum require substantially more evidence and enforceable conditions before considering approval. My concern is not simply that the project is a battery facility. My concern is whether Ameren has demonstrated that this particular 250-MW facility is necessary or convenient for the public service at this particular Lincoln County location. *See Attached |

Ameren is obligated to inform the non-Ameren customer base within Lincoln County of their intent to build a BESS facility within Lincoln County.
