 service territory. In order to address these load growth opportunities and ensure reliability, Ameren Missouri filed a notice of change in its preferred resource plan with the MoPSC in February 2025. Ameren is continuing to target net-zero carbon emissions by 2045, as well as a 60% reduction by 2030 and an 85% reduction by 2040 based on 2005 levels in a safe, reliable, and affordable manner. Ameren’s goals include both reduction of direct emissions from operations (scope 1), as well as electricity usage at Ameren buildings (scope 2), including other greenhouse gas emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, and sulfur hexafluoride. Achieving these goals will be dependent on a variety of factors, including cost-effective advancements in innovative energy technologies and constructive federal and state energy and economic policies. The 2025 Change to the 2023 PRP includes, among other things, the following:

•estimated total load growth of 1.5 gigawatts by 2032 and 2.5 gigawatts by 2040;

•adding 1,600 MWs of natural gas-fired simple-cycle generation by 2030, which will be achieved through the 1,600 MWs of natural gas generation projects discussed in Note 2 – Rate and Regulatory Matters under Part I, Item 1, of this report, and an additional 1,200 MWs by 2043;

•adding 2,100 MWs of natural gas-fired combined-cycle generation by 2035 and an additional 1,200 MWs by 2040;

•adding 3,200 MWs of renewable generation by 2030, which includes the 650 MWs of solar generation projects discussed in Note 2 – Rate and Regulatory Matters under Part I, Item 1, of this report, and an additional 1,500 MWs by 2035;

•adding 1,000 MWs of battery storage by 2030, which includes the 400-MW Big Hollow Battery Energy Storage Project discussed in Note 2 – Rate and Regulatory Matters under Part I, Item 1, of this report, and an additional 800 MWs by 2042;

•adding 1,500 MWs of nuclear generation by 2040;
