Step Two is to be completed after sections A - D have been approved by Ameren Missouri and your system is installed.
Please refer to
Section B - Electric Power Purchases from Qualified Net Metering Units (Sheets No. 8-20) when completing Step Two.
*All Net Metering applications submitted Nov. 29, 2012 and after MUST be on the current tariff application forms (bottom right hand corner of sheets No. 8-9 and 13-20, date effective Nov. 29, 2012).
Use the checklist to ensure you have completed all of the information required for Step Two.

Bi-Directional Meter
When Ameren Missouri receives completed Sections E - F, the bi-directional meter will be scheduled for installation.
- A one-time charge of $360 for a 1-phase meter or $270 for a 3-phase meter will appear on your Ameren Missouri bill in the next billing cycle.
- Your Ameren Missouri bill should reflect net metering in approximately two billing cycles from the time the bi-directional meter is installed.
Bi-directional meter is used for billing data only - not to monitor the renewable system's production.
- Only kilowatthour (kWh) fed back to the grid and kWh actually used by the customer will register on the bi-directional meter.
- If system is producing power and the property is using the power simultaneously, the bi-directional meter does not record the produced or used power - essentially they cancel each other out.
- Optional monitoring systems are available. Talk with your installer for more information on this option.
G. Application Approval
Once completed Sections A - F have been received by Ameren Missouri and the bi-directional meter has been installed, Ameren Missouri executes Section G and sends the customer a copy of the fully executed agreement.
- It is at this time that the system is operational within contract terms - the bi-directional meter has been installed and the customer has received the fully executed Net Metering Agreement back from Ameren Missouri.
- If modifications to the current system are made at any time, it is your obligation (according to the Net Metering terms) to notify Ameren MIssouri and update/re-file your Net Metering agreement.
- If the property is sold, the new owners will need to file a Net Metering application with Ameren Missouri in their name in order to operate the renewable system in compliance with the Net Metering/Parallel Operating agreement.
