| P202400721 | 5/7/2024 4:44 PM | I am on the board of a townhouse assoc looking for any help available to improve energy efficiency in the properties under our purview. While Federal incentives (IRA etc.) are helpful, they are not enough to advance our efforts economically. We need support from our local utilities. We are at a disadvantage to jurisdictions that have more robust utility programs when trying to make our properties more resilient and energy efficient. Missouri should be at the forefront and not at the back of the pack. These programs save ALL ratepayers money, boost local business, and have great ROI. Please approve Ameren Missouri's proposed energy efficiency portfolio that will help business/residential customers save money and improve their buildings. |
| P202400722 | 5/7/2024 5:56 PM | I believe that improving the carbon footprint of our electricity is the most important challenge facing our nation and our state. My high rise apartment building benefited from Ameren's programs in the past. Please approve Ameren's proposal for an energy efficiency portfolio. |
| P202400729 | 5/11/2024 1:39 PM | Please approve Ameren Missouri’s proposal for an energy efficient portfolio. Eastern Missouri is served by one of the most polluting power grids in the nation, making our region vulnerable to drastic measures imposed by climate conscious future administrations. We must encourage and support all efforts toward converting to clean energy, particularly where Ameren is a willing partner. |
| P202400733 | 5/16/2024 1:42 PM | I am in support of Ameren proposed Energy Efficiency incentive programs, especially to continue the Income Eligible program since MO is ranked among the top 10 energy burdened states. It is imperative that utility energy efficiency incentives continue AND be available to consumers in tandem with IRA funding and any other incentives. Attached are comments collected from 55 community members on this subject. |
| P202400737 | 5/21/2024 7:53 AM | Please approve Ameren Missouri's Proposal for an energy efficiency portfolio, including financial support for Ameren's customer rebates for energy efficiency. These are necessary incentives to support and encourage businesses and homeowners to switch to energy efficient options and renewable energy opportunities. The climate crisis is real and action on multiple fronts is needed without delay. The programs from Ameren enable consumers to make changes and improvements that are necessary to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Please approve Ameren Missouri's proposal for an energy efficiency portfolio that will help its business and residential customers save money and improve their buildings. |
| P202400744 | 5/29/2024 3:11 PM | I strongly support the energy efficiency incentive program that Ameren is proposing. Energy efficiency continues to provide the lowest cost resource for utilities to invest in; reducing the power a building consumes means the utility has to produce less power, saving all ratepayers money long-term. The IRA includes a complicated web of tax-based incentives that are temporary and very limited in funding – only a fraction of the what Ameren historically pays out in rebates. Their program is well established, with experienced staff and market presence. Since we’re continuing to see tremendous growth in demand for electricity, we need this program in conjunction with the IRA to accelerate energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. |
| P202400745 | 5/29/2024 4:54 PM | Please approve the Ameren proposal for an energy efficient portfolio which will help residents and businesses to save money and more importantly reduce their energy consumption. It is frustrating to see that we are behind the rest of the country with energy efficiency requirements and this is negatively affecting our residents. |
| P202400746 | 5/29/2024 6:48 PM | As a consumer of electric power in St. Louis, I worked towards reducing my energy use by replacing my HVAC, cooktop and water heater system with Energy Star efficient appliances using the Ameren rebate programs as a major incentive. Energy efficiency continues to provide the lowest cost resource for utilities to invest in; reducing the power a building consumes means the utility has to produce less power, saving all ratepayers money long-term.The electric utility is still the first place many customers turn to when they need help reducing their bills. Ameren’s staff is well-suited to direct customers and they cannot fulfill this role if they have no energy efficiency staff. I urge you to approve Ameren's energy efficiency programs. |
| P202400747 | 5/30/2024 7:24 AM | I am in support of Ameren proposed Energy Efficiency incentive programs as it encourages people to be thoughtful of their energy usage by giving them financial incentives. It is imperative that utility energy efficiency incentives continue, enabling us all as a group to reduce our carbon footprint. |
| P202400748 | 5/30/2024 2:56 PM | I believe this program is of critical importance to Ameren customers, as well as the environmental well-being and the economic viability of the regions they serve. Energy efficiency upgrades provide the highest ROI for building owners, which results in increased economic activity as well as reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This win-win situation is a rare opportunity to align what's good for our environment with financially attractive investments that stimulate the economy for the benefit of all utility users. |
| P202400749 | 5/31/2024 4:10 PM | We strongly encourage the Missouri Public Service Commission to approve Ameren’s energy efficiency incentive programs so Missourians can continue to benefit from energy savings and the protection of public health and natural resources. |
| P202400750 | 5/31/2024 10:47 PM | I'm a strong supporter of Ameren's energy efficiency incentive program, urging the MPSC to approve it, again. Affordable energy is a basic need and every American should have access. Together, the state and estate owners, can be drivers of the change. The program also provides an alternative to traditional energy harvest/savings in MO which otherwise will keep contributing to climate change and bad air quality contamination. Add., existing and historical buildings with rich cultural backgrounds can be preserved and retrofitted for the future. This helps saving resources and unifying society. In a first world country, a support for energy efficiency incentives, should be standard in order to demonstrate the country's commitment+leader's role |

| P202400753 | 6/3/2024 11:06 AM | Please not only continue, but strengthen Ameren Missouri's energy efficiency programs. I personally utilized the HVAC rebate, when I purchased my first home and installed a 16 SEER air conditioning unit. Given the state of inflation, please approve Ameren Missouri's proposal for an energy efficiency portfolio that will help its business and residential customers save money and improve their buildings. Sustainability and climate resilience awareness is at an all-time high. Keeping the programs in place will be the most efficient way to reach the most people. This is the time to double down on anything that can increase the sustainability of our utilities. |
| P202400758 | 6/5/2024 3:13 PM | I strongly support Ameren's proposed energy efficiency portfolio. Energy efficiency is crucial for sustainable building practices, and Ameren's programs help business and residential customers save money and improve their buildings. Personally and professionally, I have utilized Ameren's incentives and witnessed their positive impact. Local incentives remain vital, and energy efficiency efforts in Missouri are far from exhaustive. The Inflation Reduction Act's temporary, tax-based incentives cannot replace Ameren's well-established programs. Utility programs and federal incentives should work in tandem to maximize energy efficiency. I urge the Commission to approve Ameren's proposal to continue supporting these essential programs. |
| P202400769 | 6/17/2024 12:18 PM | We want to encourage stakeholder to approve MEEIA programs that extend to multiple years. Our commercial and industrial clients have multiple year planning cycles, especially for new construction projects. In addition, we would prefer that Custom incentives utilizing energy modeling receive enhanced incentives since savings is specific to an actual customer at a specific location. Our firm was created for this type of program. |
