We’re announcing new community investments in Missouri.

May 20, 2026 We’re announcing new community investments in Missouri. As we deepen our roots in Missouri with a new data center in Montgomery County, we’re expanding infrastructure responsibly, advancing energy affordability, and creating new career pathways. Through our Capacity Commitment Framework agreement with Ameren, we’re supporting the development of more than 500 megawatts of additional capacity, helping to ensure we cover our own operational and infrastructure costs. We’re also establishing a $20 million Energy Impact Fund to help lower utility bills for families through targeted home weatherization and efficiency initiatives. Our data centers act as economic engines, generating nine local jobs for every direct position created. To prepare Missourians for skilled roles, we're funding local workforce programs, including helping the Laborers and Contractors Training Center train thousands of new construction laborers and apprentices in Montgomery County through support to Construction Laborers and Contractors Joint Training Fund of Eastern Missouri.
