We are upgrading the network and meters for all residential and business electric and gas customers in our service territory. Electric customers will receive an upgraded meter, while gas customers will only need an upgrade to their communications module.

If you decide that you do not want a smart electric meter or gas module, you have the option to enroll in our Non-Standard Metering (NSM) service. NSM service requires Ameren Missouri to visit your property monthly to collect energy usage information. There is a non-refundable $100 setup charge to install a non-standard meter, and a $40 monthly charge to help cover the cost of monthly manual meter reads.

If you decide NSM is the right choice and want to enroll, please call our Customer Service at 866.665.7873.
