Our new percentage-based program allows current blocks-based subscribers, who were previously limited to 50%, to increase their enrollment—and new subscribers can now take part in solar generation.
Log in to your Online Account and enroll in Community Solar by choosing your participation level.
Hang tight! Your enrollment remains inactive until we start building the solar panel facility. The one-time $25 participation fee helps kick things off.
Building a new facility can take up to 18 months. Once it's done, your subscription will go live, and you'll start supporting solar energy generation.
Thanks to your participation, the new solar facility generates more renewable energy for you and your neighborhood.
Thanks to the support of more than 2,000 customers, the Montgomery Community Solar Center opened as the second Community Solar facility and the largest Ameren Missouri solar energy center at 5.7 MW.
The third facility is expected to generate even more solar energy thanks to customer support of our new percentage-based program.
"As a condo owner in South City, St. Louis, installing my own solar panels and battery system isn't a practical option for me. Ameren Missouri's Community Solar Program gives me a convenient and economical way to acquire the energy I need without contributing to greenhouse gas emissions."
- Gary F. of St. Louis
The blocks-based program was introduced to customers in 2018 and includes two solar facilities and has a 50% of usage enrollment cap. All future facilities will be built under the percentage-based program.
The new percentage-based Community Solar program was introduced to customers in Fall 2022. This offers customers the flexibility to enroll up to 100% of their electric usage and a lower, one-time $25 participation fee.
The estimated rate for the program is:
Residential (1M): $0.1604/kWh
Small Business (2M): $0.1479/kWh
This will be updated with the tariff-based rate prior to billing commencement.
Note: Existing Community Solar customers can continue on the blocks-based rate and will still be capped at 50% of their usage. No new enrollments will be accepted on the blocks-based program.
One great benefit of this program is that approximately 50% of the rate (the Solar Generation Rate component) is capped. This portion of the rate cannot increase once it is set in the tariff. The Facilities Rate component (the other half of the rate) is subject to change.
We're protecting the future of energy in Missouri.
