About
Ameren Corporation is a St. Louis, Missouri-based regulated electric and natural gas utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AEE) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — serving approximately 2.4 million electric customers and 900,000 natural gas customers in Missouri and Illinois through two primary regulated subsidiaries: AmerenMissouri (electric and gas in Missouri, including the Callaway Nuclear Power Station — Missouri's only commercial nuclear plant) and AmerenIllinois (electric and gas distribution across central and southern Illinois), through approximately 9,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Ameren reported revenue of approximately $8.2 billion, with continued capital investment in transmission upgrades, distribution modernization, and renewable energy additions. Ameren Missouri's clean energy transition includes the announced Reform Renewable Energy Center — a 250-megawatt solar facility near the Callaway Nuclear site, with construction beginning in 2026 and expected to power 44,000 homes by 2028, creating 300 construction jobs. CEO Martin Lyons, who succeeded Warner Baxter in 2022, has maintained Ameren's steady capital investment trajectory targeting 6-8% annual EPS growth through infrastructure modernization and renewable energy additions in both states. The company's transmission infrastructure — spanning MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator) in Missouri and PJM Interconnection in Illinois — positions Ameren to benefit from grid investment programs enabling renewable energy integration across the Midwest.

About
Atmos Energy Corporation is a Dallas, Texas-based natural gas distribution company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ATO) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — distributing natural gas to approximately 3.3 million residential, commercial, and industrial customers in eight states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Colorado, and Virginia) through approximately 4,500 employees, operating as the largest natural gas-only utility in the United States by customer count. In fiscal year 2024 (ending September 2024), Atmos Energy reported revenues of approximately $4.3 billion and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $7.03 — continuing Atmos Energy's consistent 6-8% annual EPS growth track record that has made Atmos Energy one of the most reliable earnings growth utilities in the US, supported by the multi-state regulatory framework that allows Atmos to recover capital investment through formula rate mechanisms in most of its eight service states. CEO Chris Forsythe leads Atmos Energy's capital investment program — $3.5 billion annually in pipeline system modernization (replacing vintage cast iron, bare steel, and mechanically coupled pipe with modern coated steel and plastic distribution pipe), safety system upgrades, and capacity expansion in high-growth Texas and Colorado markets. Texas remains Atmos Energy's dominant service territory (2+ million of 3.3 million customers, serving Dallas-Fort Worth metro, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and West Texas) where residential and commercial natural gas demand growth from the Texas population boom (DFW growing 150,000 residents annually) drives Atmos Energy's capital investment and revenue growth.
