About Ameren

Ameren Corporation operates two regulated utility subsidiaries: Ameren Illinois and Ameren Missouri. Together they serve approximately 2.4 million electric customers and 900,000 natural gas customers across Illinois and Missouri.

Ameren Illinois operates in a deregulated market where customers can choose their electricity supplier, while Ameren Missouri operates as a traditional regulated utility. Both are regulated by their respective state public utility commissions.

Rate Structure

Ameren bills include a Fuel Adjustment Clause (FAC) that adjusts based on actual fuel costs. Illinois customers may see separate delivery and supply charges if they've chosen an alternative supplier. Missouri customers receive bundled rates.
