<p>The new company, Ameren Transmission Co., will build \"greenfield\" transmission projects within the two states, with the potential for expanding to other areas in the future. A greenfield project refers to construction on land that has not yet been developed.</p>
<p>The company said it\'s found more than $3 billion of potential transmission investments that could be completed in the two states over the next 10 to 15 years.</p>
<p>Ameren also announced today that it is filing a petition with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for pre-approval of certain rates for its proposed initial portfolio of transmission projects, the Grand Rivers projects, a $1.3 billion collection of high voltage transmission projects in Missouri and Illinois. The federal regulatory agency\'s response, expected within 60 days, should provide guidelines for rates at the new subsidiary.</p>
