That’s why a coalition of thousands of Central and Southern Illinois workers, families, local union organizations, mayors and 28 members of the Illinois General Assembly support Dynegy’s efforts to acquire the Ameren Energy Resources (AER) energy centers located in Joppa, Newton, Bartonville, Canton and Coffeen. Together these centers:

“Dynegy has stepped up to help support much-needed union jobs and economic activity in Illinois,” said Michael T. Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO. “We support Dynegy’s efforts to ensure reduced emissions while protecting the economic livelihoods of Illinois families and local communities, especially in hard-hit Central and Southern Illinois.”

AER and Dynegy are strongly committed to reducing air emissions from their Illinois energy centers which operate in accordance with EPA regulations:

With the future addition of AER, Dynegy plans to double its operations and investment in Illinois – providing certainty to the employees and communities in Central and Southern Illinois that count on the continued operation of the AER energy centers.

“Approximately 50% of my community’s property tax revenue comes from the Newton Energy Center,” Newton Mayor Mark Bolander said. “If the Newton Energy Center shuts down, so will our schools, the City of Newton and Jasper County. The economic impact will be insurmountable, and the ripple from this devastation will affect not only Jasper County, but also surrounding counties.” LEARN MORE: www.DynegyInIllinois.com.
