The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission announced that Ameren UE has submitted a hydroelectric license amendment application for the Osage Hydroelectric Project on the Osage River in Missouri. This amendment seeks to remove around 147 acres from the project boundary, which currently includes the Lake of the Ozarks and surrounding lands. The areas proposed for removal are mainly used for agriculture and are not essential for the hydroelectric project's operations or maintenance. Interested parties have been invited to submit comments, protests, or motions to intervene by May 14, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge of making rules about electricity are looking at letting Ameren, a company, change how much land they use to make electricity by moving a piece of land that's mostly farms and forests out of their project. They're asking others to share their thoughts or concerns about this change by May 14, 2025.
