This project will bring clean, renewable solar energy to our community, including our university. The solar panels also provide covered parking at the Show Me Center. We are excited and thankful for these benefits which are part of Ameren Missouri's Smart Energy Plan and the company's efforts to bring more green energy to the grid as part of its commitment to a net-zero carbon emissions goal by 2045. This project represents meaningful progress that will impact our students, our state, and our energy future." – Dr. Carlos Vargas, President, Southeast Missouri State University
"We rely on energy for so much in our daily lives. We count on reliable electricity to provide lighting, heating and cooling for our homes and businesses; power our many devices; and provide energy to our factories that manufacture products and provide jobs. With so many states announcing the likelihood of summer brownouts or blackouts, it is important that we recognize Ameren Missouri for always providing safe, secure and stable energy for its millions of customers and for bringing more renewable energy into their generation mix as they look to the future." – Chris Ventura, Executive Director, Consumer Energy Alliance – Midwest
