Keeping Each Other Safe

At Ameren, we never compromise on safety. Together, we can help protect each other by practicing social distancing, limiting face-to-face contact and taking other precautionary measures when we are in out in the community or in customers' homes and businesses.

We're Here for You

We understand the critical role electric and gas utility services play in your daily life, and we are committed to helping you get through these difficult and unpredictable times. You will continue to see us in the community responding to service calls, working on critical infrastructure projects and maintaining our facilities. We are practicing preventative safety measures as advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local authorities.

We also recognize that many of you may face financial hardships during these extraordinary times, and we want to help.

If you need financial assistance or help paying your bill

If you have a scheduled appointment

If you have an upcoming Ameren appointment that requires access inside your home or business, and you are sick or beginning to show symptoms of illness or are on an ordered or self-imposed quarantine for COVID-19, we ask that you please reschedule.

Common Questions

We want to assure you that your power will stay on during this extraordinary time. However, we encourage you to pay what you can or contact us to make payment arrangements so you don't fall too far behind. Normal billing for your usage will continue and we know how hard it can be to catch up. To help, we are forgiving late payment fees for both residential and business customers and all disconnections have been temporarily suspended until further notice. Please remember, we are always willing to talk to you about your individual circumstances and the payment options and assistance available to you.

You can make a payment at no additional cost online through your checking account or by mail.

At Ameren, we never compromise on safety – yours or ours. When you see us working in your home, business, yard or community, you'll see us practicing social distancing and taking other precautionary measures. You can help by maintaining a distance of six feet or more from our work areas.

If you have an appointment, we can conduct the entire appointment and perform safety checks outside at your meter. But some services may require us to come inside. If we need to do that, we will avoid close contact with those inside and take other safety measures. If anyone is sick, shows symptoms of or has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you reschedule your appointment or, in the case of a gas leak or other immediate need, let us know so we can take precautionary measures.

If you ever smell natural gas (a rotten egg-like smell), leave and call us from a safe location. On your way out, do not use or touch any light switches, cell phones, telephones, appliances, garage door openers or any device that could generate a spark or a flame.

New Updates

Ameren has temporarily suspended all disconnections for non-payment and we are forgiving any late payment fees for residential and business customers. Normal billing for customers' usage will continue.
