A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling ordering Ameren Missouri to install pollution control equipment at a coal-fired power plant near St. Louis.
The Aug. 20 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth District could prompt the St. Louis-based utility to spend hundreds of millions on the 1970s-era Rush Island coal plant in Jefferson County or reevaluate its long-term power generation plans. If the utility does install the pollution control equipment, customers could see higher rates, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
A spokesman said Ameren is still evaluating the court ruling and deciding how to respond, but the utility remains committed to reducing its carbon dioxide emissions significantly by 2050.
