Ameren Illinois says its natural gas storage fields performed well during Winter Storm Fern
During Winter Storm Fern that dumped several inches of snow and brought in extremely cold temperatures across the region last month, Ameren Illinois says its natural gas storage system helped diminish extreme cost increases.
For instance, the underground natural gas storage field in Johnston City serves about 9,000 households on peak days.
WSIU’s Brad Palmer spoke about the natural gas storage system with the utility’s senior director of natural gas operations and technical services Brad Kloeppel.
