Ameren Open House Reveals Further Details on the "Dependability Initiative"

The Illinois Valley Reliability Project, overseen by Ameren Transmission, is set to improve energy reliability and resiliency in the region. This project involves a 23-mile electrical line from the Princeton substation to a new switching station near Peru.

To provide an opportunity for public input, two open houses are being held for the project, one each day. The open houses will occur between 11 am and 1 pm, and again between 5 pm and 7 pm on both days.

On Monday, the open house will take place at Peru City Hall, while Tuesday's event will be held at Bureau County Metro Center. The open houses will follow a "drop-in" format, meaning attendees can visit at their convenience during the scheduled hours.

Detailed maps showing preliminary route alternatives will be available at the open houses. However, the search results do not provide specific information about where Ameren Transmission will build a new substation or when the public meetings for the transmission line will take place.

For those unable to attend the open houses in person, a virtual open house is available from September 19 to October 3. The virtual open house can be accessed at ameren.com/IllinoisValley.

The Illinois Valley Reliability Project aims not only to improve energy reliability and resiliency, but also to support local economic growth. There will be no formal presentation during the open houses, allowing attendees to freely discuss their thoughts and concerns with project representatives.

The open houses are an important part of the decision-making process for the Illinois Valley Reliability Project. If you are interested in learning more about the project and providing your input, consider attending one of the open houses or visiting the virtual open house.
