ST. LOUIS, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Forty AmerenUE linemen headed
to Kentucky yesterday to help Louisville Gas & Electric Company
recover from the remnants of Hurricane Ike. Ike also struck
Missouri, and some of the same linemen were among the hundreds who
within 48 hours restored power to more than 100,000 Missourians
earlier this week. AmerenUE also sent 10 supervisory and support
staff employees to Kentucky. Half of the linemen are from
North-Central and Northwest Missouri, with the remainder from the
Franklin and West St. Louis Counties. A record 600,000 Kentuckians
lost power due to the storms that swept several states at the
beginning of the week. AmerenUE, a subsidiary of St. Louis-based
Ameren Corporation, serves 1.2 million electric customers and
127,000 natural gas customers in a 24,000-square-mile area of
north, central and eastern Missouri. DATASOURCE: AmerenUE CONTACT:
