Moving Forward with Smart Energy

Showcasing the progress of Ameren Missouri's Smart Energy Plan in 2023

The Smart Energy Plan continues Ameren Missouri’s investment in communities across the state through smarter, more reliable energy delivery. Created by forward-thinking legislation passed by the Missouri General Assembly, the Smart Energy Plan has spurred thousands of grid modernization projects – supporting greater reliability from Kirksville to Cape Girardeau and St. Louis to Lake of the Ozarks.

These critical improvements provide families and businesses with the energy they need while keeping costs well below the Midwest and national averages. Those lower rates, coupled with economic development, have helped Missouri attract new business and investment, and created or retained thousands of jobs in the state. In 2023, 15 businesses announced plans to move to or expand in Ameren Missouri's service territory, resulting in more than $360 million in capital investment and creating nearly 700 new jobs in the Show-Me State.

Since the Smart Energy Plan was enacted in 2018, Ameren Missouri has upgraded more than 210 miles of power lines and installed over 1,500 smart switches and 1.1 million smart meters. For more information on Ameren Missouri's Smart Energy Plan and its progress, please visit AmerenMissouri.com/plan.
