COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Ameren Missouri applied last week with Missouri's utility regulators to build a 2.5-megawatt solar power facility in Callaway County.

The utility is asking for a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity to build and operate the facility, known as the Reform Solar Project. Ameren said it June that it would restrict access to part of the Reform Conservation Area, near its nuclear power plant, to build the solar field.

The project includes building a switching station that will connect to existing transmission lines.

Comments on the plan can be made on the Missouri Public Service Commission website.
