Missouri approves development of 299 MW Outlaw wind project

The Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) has granted a certificate of convenience and necessity (CCN) to Ameren Missouri to construct, own, and operate an approximate 299 MW wind facility. The wind farm, known as the Outlaw Project, is located in Atchison County.

Under the agreement approved by the PSC, the Outlaw Project will be constructed pursuant to a build transfer agreement between Ameren Missouri and Enel Kansas, LLC.

Enel Kansas formed a special-purpose entity — Outlaw Wind Project, LLC — to complete the project.

Once the facility is built, Ameren Missouri will purchase 100% of the ownership interest in Outlaw Wind Project and merge it into Ameren Missouri.

The commission noted Ameren has agreed to conditions that will prevent detrimental environmental or animal impacts.
