SUGAR LAND--May 10, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Central U.S. power providers ALLETE Incorporated (NYSE:ALE) (Duluth, Minnesota) and Ameren Corporation (NYSE:AEE) (St. Louis, Missouri) are investing heavily in renewable energy and transmission & distribution (T&D) developments, as they face pressure from investors and regulators to further decarbonize and contribute more to the power grid.

Ameren is seeking permits for several major transmission projects that could begin construction within the coming year.
