Ameren decides against wind farm in northwest Missouri

(AP) Missouri’s largest electricity provider is backing away from a plan to develop a wind farm in northwest Missouri.

Ameren Missouri says it has terminated plans for a 157-megawatt wind facility in Atchison County because it was too costly to make the significant improvements that would have been needed to the transmission system.

The utility company still plans to go forward with two other wind energy facilities in northern Missouri.
