The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved a second modified agreement between Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri and the Office of the Public Counsel (OPC) which authorizes Ameren Missouri to re-direct approximately $3.5 million to further help low-income customers needing assistance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the second modified agreement, the $3.5 million, which was originally scheduled to be used for a low-income weatherization program, will now be re-directed as follows: Approximately $1.3 million to fund a low-income energy efficiency program; approximately $1.2 million to fund additional low-income energy assistance in 2021, including but not limited to Ameren Missouri’s Clean Slate Program; and approximately $1 million to fund administrative costs for the agencies charged with administering the distribution of energy assistance funding to low-income customers.
