"I am thankful for the opportunity to tour this important facility within my Senate district," said Sen.

From providing reliable electricity for many of my constituents to the company’s charitable efforts throughout my district, Ameren Missouri is a valued and respected community partner.”

The Osage Energy Center at the Lake of the Ozarks is one of three hydroelectric plants within Ameren's generation fleet. During a typical year, the Osage Energy Center produces more than 500 million kilowatt hours of electricity — enough to supply the needs of more than 40,000 households.
