Take the Opportunity to Tell Regulators How Higher Electric Bills Would Affect Your Budget
Ameren Missouri wants to increase the rates customers pay by nearly 10 percent (9.65 percent) in order to raise its income by $265 million a year. Since 2008 Ameren customers have suffered under rate increases of more than 43 percent.
The company also wants to raise the profit it can earn to 10.4 percent from the current 9.8 percent. Consumer advocates want to lower that percentage to 9.1 percent. Ameren also wants to continue the fuel adjustment charge, which allows it to raise customersâ rates when the price of fuel goes up. Consumers want to eliminate the fuel adjustment charge.
