Regulators gave Ameren Missouri permission to build a new natural gas and battery storage energy center in Jefferson County on Wednesday.
The Missouri Public Service Commission approved the Big Hollow Energy Center, which will be a simple-cycle natural gas plant — a type that can be turned on quickly to meet demand when a lot of people are using electricity — and a battery energy storage system.
