Ameren is preparing for the future by using
cleaner energy sources, providing exciting and
challenging job opportunities, and offering
affordable energy solutions to meet customer
demand. Our world-class microgrid is helping to
make this vision a reality for our customers.
First of its Kind
Our
microgrid, located in Champaign, Illinois,
near the campus of the University of Illinois,
is one of only a few in the world that
operates at utility-scale voltages.
It is the only utility-scale microgrid capable of
serving active customers.
"Islanding"
Ameren's microgrid is the only known microgrid in the nation capable of seamlessly transitioning the power source for an entire distribution circuit from exclusively distributed generation sources to the traditional grid.
Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative Award
In January of 2018, Ameren Illinois was recognized by the Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative (SECC) with its inaugural Smart Energy Innovation Award.
Testing on a Live Smart Grid
Ameren Illinois’ Technology Applications Center (TAC) is a unique resource for entrepreneurs and innovators to test programs, technologies, business models and other Smart Grid-related activities while connected to the grid.
