New equipment to improve restoration times for Ameren customers after major storms

Ameren has added two specially designed Mobile Command Center trailers to its fleet to coordinate crews and materials in the aftermath of a storm. The command centers may be moved to an area with major damage.

The 24-foot-by-8-foot trailers can be pulled behind an Ameren utility truck and are climate controlled and equipped with high-speed internet access, computer workstations, a generator, technology for viewing real-time drone footage of storm damage and an awning to provide outside cover.
