5 September 2007 -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently listed Units 1 and 2 at AmerenEnergy Generating's Newton Power Station as the second and third lowest emitters of nitrogen oxide (NO_X) among all U.S. coal fired plants operating without selective catalytic reduction NO_X removal equipment.

In January 2007, Newton personnel with technical support from equipment supplier Alstom, embarked upon a NO_X reduction program that uses process tuning, which involves making adjustments to boiler operating levels.

"Through the use of painstaking and diligent adjustments of various boiler operating parameters, Newton Generating Station was able to achieve a 25 percent reduction in the station NO_X emission rate for the second quarter of 2007," said Ken Schoof, station manager.

Ameren Corporation, through its subsidiary AmerenEnergy Generating Company, owns and operates two 600 MW generating units at its Newton Generating Station, near Newton, Ill.
