Convenience stores and gas stations are quick and easy retail spots for customers, and they are also eligible for quick and easy incentives from the BizSavers® program! By upgrading indoor lighting, refrigerated cases, and HVAC systems to energy efficient equivalents, commercial customers can earn cash incentives and improve profit margins.
Convenience stores use 3 - 7 times more energy per square foot than the average commercial business space, making energy costs a natural concern for c-store owners and managers.
Upgrading to more energy-efficient technologies will lower operating costs, reduce building maintenance and provide a more comfortable, safe environment for customers and staff. With cash incentives that are as quick and easy as stopping in your stores, the Ameren Missouri BizSavers® Program can help keep your business running smoothly.
Now that you know more about how your business uses energy, it’s time to start planning how you start saving. In this video, we’ll break down how upgrades to refrigeration, lighting, HVAC and more can cut your costs while improving comfort, safety and convenience.
Cash incentives are available for virtually every energy-saving upgrade you make to your convenience store, so there’s never been a better time to save energy and money with the Ameren Missouri BizSavers Program!

Incentives are paid on a per unit-installed basis and are available for a variety of qualified improvements. All Standard Fast-Track measures do not require pre-approval unless the incentive is anticipated to be more than $15,000. Linear fluorescent lighting projects may be eligible for enhanced incentive rates through the Standard Pre-Approval process.
The BizSavers Program may provide custom incentives for energy efficient equipment that is not eligible for Standard Incentives. Custom Incentives are calculated based on the projected annual energy reduction. These Incentives require pre-approval before equipment purchase or installation.
Starting from scratch or completing a renovation? Incentives are available through the New Construction program. These incentives must be pre-approved prior to the Design Phase of the project.
