Ameren Illinois is now part of the Midwest Mutual Assistance Network. This means that crews from Ameren will be at the ready to respond to power outages due to disasters across the state of Illinois and the Midwest. And, as Riley Adams Manager of Electric Initiatives for Ameren Illinois explained to WKEI, it also means that if a disaster happens locally, Ameren can call on lineman from the Midwest Mutual Assistance Network to assure that electricity will be restored as quickly and safely as possible.
