ST. LOUIS — Ameren has a wide range of resources remain available to support qualifying households with their energy bills in 2026.

Ameren partners with United Way of Greater St. Louis, the Energy Assistance Foundation and hundreds of Community Action Agencies to ensure customers can apply for funds, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

“As we start the new year, we’re encouraging customers in need to make one simple resolution: Don’t wait to ask for help,” said Joe Solari, vice president of customer experience for Ameren. “Applying early for energy assistance prevents small challenges from becoming big burdens after the cold weather passes. Our teams are here to support you the moment you need it.”

Ameren also invites customers who are able to give back to their communities to partner with the company by making a one-time or recurring contribution to the Dollar More program in Missouri.

The Dollar More program, which is funded by voluntary donations, contributed an additional $2 million for Missouri customers and provides eligible households up to $600 per calendar year. Qualifications for the program have increased up to 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

Throughout 2025, Ameren partnered with hundreds of Community Action Agencies to make more than $140 million in energy assistance and LIHEAP support available to customers across Missouri and Illinois.
