The Metropolitan St. Louis Chapter of the Project Management Institute awarded Ameren Missouri the 2012 Project of the Year award for effective project management in the construction of the Maryland Heights Renewable Energy Center.
The energy center began operations in the summer of 2012 and can produce enough renewable energy from landfill gas to power approximately 10,000 average Missouri homes. Upon completion, the energy center was 17 percent under budget and 108 days ahead of schedule.
The Maryland Heights Renewable Energy Center now goes on to compete for the Project of the Year award against companies internationally in the summer of 2013.
