To assist its military customers impacted by
rising energy prices, Ameren Illinois has allocated $100,000 to help
disabled veterans and active-duty military pay their energy bills
through the Ameren Illinois Military Support Program (AIMS).
Disabled veterans and active-duty military members can apply for an
AIMS grant by visiting AmerenIllinois.com/EnergyAssistance. Eligible
military customers will receive a one-time bill payment grant of
$100.

"Many of our customers are facing financial
challenges because of inflation and the rising cost of energy," said
Joe Solari, vice president of Customer Experience for Ameren
Illinois. "Our hope is that these grants provide some economic
relief to disabled veterans and those who continue to serve our
country."
In June, Ameren Illinois held Helping Heroes outreach events for
disabled veterans and active-duty military members throughout the
region. Eligible participants received the AIMS grant, along with
energy efficiency incentives, customer service support, assistance
with payment program options, and storm preparedness kits.
AIMS is part of a $1.75 million relief package
Ameren Illinois has allocated to assist its customers in response to
a steep increase in power supply prices. High demand and supply
constraints have led to an energy shortage and caused power supply
prices to spike. Power is purchased for Ameren Illinois customers by
an Illinois state agency, and the costs are passed directly to
customers, dollar-for-dollar.
