In February 2024, Ameren unveiled two Mobile Command Center trailers designed to enhance crisis response times after major storms. The trailers are equipped with high-speed internet, computer workstations, a generator, and real-time drone footage viewing technology. They will serve as important single points of contact for crews. These new additions will strengthen Ameren’s emergency preparedness fleet, which includes storm material trailers and mobile substations. The company also plans to use these trailers to assist other power companies should the need arise. Ameren’s consistent investment in technology and equipment aims to enhance the resiliency of their energy grid and improve customer reliability following severe weather.
