Ameren
Ameren Corporation has 2.4 million electric and 900,000 natural gas customers, making it the leading utility company in the St. Louis area and the second-largest in the entire state of Illinois. Ameren was created in 1997 by the merger of Missouri’s Union Electric Company and the neighboring Central Illinois Public Service (CIPS) company.
“PowerCenter was vital in enabling Accenture to minimize cost and risk for Ameren, and bring this challenging project in under budget and within our allotted 11-month timeframe.”
— Eric Middleton, Senior Manager, Accenture
