O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) - Ameren Missouri plans to build a solar energy facility in O’Fallon, Mo.

The St. Louis-based utility announced plans for the multimillion-dollar facility on Monday. Ameren says the plant will provide 5.7 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 650 homes.

The project is expected to create up to 70 construction jobs. Work should begin in April and Ameren hopes to have the project operating by December.
