Business Social Services Incentives
The Business Social Services (BSS) Incentive Program offers
prescriptive incentives, application processing, and an approved
diverse service provider network specifically designed to support
BSS customers from start to finish. Our goal is to remove participation barriers for select public 501c(3) social service providers
through a simple and streamlined process.
Who is eligible for the incentives?
- Customers must be classified under the Ameren Missouri Small General Service (2M) or Large General Service (3M) electric rate class and also be a public 501c(3) non-profit tax exempt facility
- Customers must use an approved BSS Service Provider to purchase and install eligible equipment
- All applications must be submitted to the program office by the approved Service Provider
- Incentives will only be available to the portion of the facility primarily used to provide Social Services
to the low-income public
- Examples include: food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, employment services, worker training, job banks, and childcare.
What incentives does the BSS program provide?
- Lighting incentive covers 100% of eligible costs
- Elevated incentive rates on eligible non-lighting to help offset the financial burden for BSS customers
- New energy-efficient equipment to create a better service environment
- Energy cost savings which can then be reinvested into helping the community
How do I apply for the program?

- Your service provider will help you first confirm eligibility, then navigate the application process, identify upgrade opportunities, and facilitate equipment installation
