Fact Sheet
AmerenUE’s Power On project includes investing:
$300 Million Core Undergrounding and Reliability Improvement Program
	Includes substantial underground cabling in areas where underground cabling is feasible, improves reliability and makes economic sense.
$84 Million for Circuit and Device Inspection and Repair
	Initiates an ongoing “foot patrol” program to help UE identify, repair or replace poles and other equipment before potential failures occur. Includes new technology that enables us to inspect the integrity of our distribution lines.
$135 Million for Tree Trimming
	Substantially increases tree-trimming funding, with special focus on lines built to serve housing growth over the past four decades, when trees were planted that now jeopardize the system during severe weather.
$500 Million for Investment to Reduce Sulfur Dioxide and Mercury Emissions
	Addresses growing energy needs while meeting or exceeding federal environmental standards. The Sioux plant in Missouri is installing scrubbers to remove approximately 95 percent of the sulfur dioxide, as well as nitrogen oxide, from emissions when burning either low-sulfur or high-sulfur coal.
