Ameren donates $4M for energy assistance across Missouri, Illinois

ST. LOUIS, Mo., (KBSI) — Ameren is donating $4 million to community action agencies to support residential customers in need of financial assistance with energy bills across Missouri and Illinois.

The donation comes after a recent heat wave led to increased energy usage.

“We understand the economic hardships families are facing, which is why we’re providing additional help,” said Joe Solari, Ameren’s vice president of customer experience.

This year, Ameren has partnered with hundreds of agencies to provide over $75 million in energy assistance. Customers can visit Ameren.com/Assistance for more information.
