JEFFERSON CITY The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved an agreement reached by several parties which authorizes Ameren Missouri to continue promoting demand-side programs, including energy efficiency and demand response programs under Cycle 3 of the Missouri Energy Efficiency Investment Act.
MEEIA was passed by the Missouri legislature and signed into law in August 2009. The purpose of MEEIA is to encourage investor-owned electric utilities to develop and implement demand-side management programs, which are commonly called energy efficiency programs or demand response programs.
Ameren Missouri's MEEIA Cycle 3 will consist of a number of energy efficiency and demand response programs for residential and business customers. Residential customer programs include appliance recycling, efficient products, energy efficiency kits, home energy reports, HVAC, lighting, multifamily market rate, Demand response and residential education.
Programs will also be available for low-income families (single family and multifamily). Ameren Missouri will post on its website information on the types of projects and the types of customer measures that could qualify under the Multifamily Low-Income Program.
Under MEEIA Cycle 3n, low-income programs will be implemented between March 1-Dec. 31, 2024. All other programs offered under MEEIA Cycle 3 will operate over an approximate three year period from March 1-Dec. 31, 2021.
Ameren Missouri provides service to approximately 1.26 million electric customers in Missouri, including some in Callaway County.
