Reestablishing Electric Service and Energy Assistance Options

The severe weather that occurred on May 16, 2025 had a devastating and lasting impact on our community and we are here to help. Ameren Missouri is offering a variety of program updates to help customers in the impacted areas maintain service and access energy assistance.
 
 


 
 

  

How to Reestablish Electric Service

After homeowners receive approval from their local government to reestablish service, please call Ameren Missouri's customer service at 800.552.7583. There is no activation fee for reconnecting electric service, and Ameren Missouri will reconnect customers as quickly and as safely as possible. Customers must arrange for an adult (18 years or older) to be present to give us clear access to the meter.
