The Midwest represents the heartland of the energy renaissance as energy and utilities companies move toward clean energy goals. Meeting the challenges and opportunities of producing greater reliability and resiliency in the face of the effects of climate change is not easy and takes leadership.
One such leader is Ameren CEO Marty Lyons, who points out that it is only the start in terms of opportunities to replace aging infrastructure with modern technology and produce greater reliability and resiliency benefits to customers who demand more energy too. It takes a lot of hard work by everyone at the utility.
