COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
State utility regulators have set a date for the public to give feedback on Ameren Missouri’s plans for a solar field in southeastern Callaway County.
The utility plans to build a 250-megawatt solar field called the Reform Solar Project. It would be built on land the utility loaned to the state as part of the Reform Conservation Area near Ameren’s nuclear plant. Plans include a 345-kV switching station, according to a Public Service Commission news release.
The PSC has set a 6 p.m. Jan. 6, 2026, meeting at Legends Rec-Plex for the public to comment on the proposal. The hearing will start with a question-and-answer session, then utility regulators will hear public testimony.
A virtual hearing will take place at noon on Jan. 8, 2026. Contact the PSC for information on how to take part in the virtual meeting via Cisco WebEx.
