Case Study Video: Ameren Illinois’s Journey from Legacy to Leading-Edge

Ameren Illinois provides electric transmission and distribution services, as well as natural gas distribution services, to customers throughout central and southern Illinois. The company serves approximately 1.2 million electric customers and over 800,000 natural gas customers.

Discover how Ameren is using Asset Investment Planning (AIP) approaches and technology to enable more strategic and value-based investment decisions, as well as:

  • Modernization initiatives: Transitioning from spreadsheets to cutting-edge technology.
  • Effective investment comparisons: The Copperleaf Value Framework enables Ameren to compare, evaluate, and prioritize projects effectively.
  • Community impact tracking: Tracking the impact of projects on disproportionately affected communities, supporting social responsibility and environmental justice.
  • Future integration: Planning for deeper integration with asset risk, management, and GIS systems for even greater value maximization.

It took some culture change and some education to make sure people got adjusted to the new system. Once it happened, we felt like we were in a new century.
