Rate increase hearings for Ameren Missouri to begin

Monday, February 14, 2011

Public hearings have been scheduled around the state in February and March about Ameren Missouri’s request for a rate increase.

St. Louis-based Ameren Missouri filed a request late last year for an 11 percent increase to electric rates in all rate classes, amounting to $263 million annually.

The Missouri Public Service Commission begins evidentiary hearings on the request in April. The commission is sponsoring the public hearings to give customers a chance to ask questions about the possible increase.

If the commission grants the rate increase, Ameren estimates the average residential customer will pay an additional $9.30 a month, based on 1,100 kilowatt-hours.

And they want the consumer to pay for a new power plant at an additional cost of about $10 per month. with the rate increase that is about $20 per month. How are folks on SS going to afford to stay warm in the winter? the folks on the boasrd should have to live for two months on a small fixed income to see how "small" cost of living increases have severe adverse effects.

I started adding up the increases over a period of 10 years and decided to invest in solar. large up front but hopefully it will bring down my bills considerbly.
