Demand Response Program
Through Ameren Missouri's Demand Response Program, businesses can earn cash incentives by reducing nonessential energy use when the grid needs it most.

This Program is Not Available in our Illinois Service Territory
What is Demand Response?

The Demand Response program offers mutual benefits for businesses and their surrounding communities by providing cash incentives to commercial and industrial Ameren Missouri customers—such as manufacturers, schools, data centers, and cold storage facilities—for temporarily reducing energy use during peak demand periods. This not only helps participants save money but also enhances grid reliability and cost-efficiency for everyone.

Interested in participating? Fill out an inquiry form with our world leading demand response partner, Enel X, to get started.

How it Works

Ameren Missouri ensures your participation is managed seamlessly from start to finish. After submitting the inquiry form, our team works with you to establish an energy savings plan that may include steps like adjusting HVAC settings, dimming lights, modifying production schedules, or switching to backup generation during periods of high grid stress.

Then, when the grid experiences peak demand, you’ll receive a “dispatch” notification via SMS, email, or phone. Simply follow your plan to reduce energy use during the event and earn payments for participating. After it ends, our team will provide post-event support to help you optimize future participation.
