Working to Keep Rates Low

Through Ameren Missouri's Smart Energy Plan, we are investing in state-of-the-art technology to reduce outages and respond faster when they do occur. We're also hardening the grid, replacing older power lines, strengthening poles and upgrading aging substations to ensure greater reliability for our customers. Ameren Missouri is committed to investing in grid to improve service, while also doing what we can to keep rates as low as possible by spending wisely and cutting costs. Our electric rates today are only slightly higher than they were five years ago and our overall residential electric base rates are more than 20% below the Midwest and U.S. averages.
