The BizSavers program offers a variety of incentive programs to fit different project types, sizes, and budgets.
Standard Incentives
With standard incentives, incentives are paid on a per-unit-installed basis and are available for various qualified improvements. Pre-approval for projects with standard measures is not required, unless the incentive is expected to be more than $10,000. Eligibility for a standard incentive requires customers to install measures achieving a minimum total incentive of $150 per application. You can download the Standard Incentives Application here
Custom Incentives
If your business’ energy efficiency improvement is not on the standard incentives list, you could be eligible for a custom incentive. Custom incentives are calculated based on the projected annual energy reduction. These incentives require a pre-approval incentive offer before equipment purchase or installation.

New Construction Incentive
Ameren offers incentives for ground-up construction, additions or expansions, and complete commercial building restorations. The program encourages building owners to install systems with higher energy efficiency than the standard of planned systems. New construction incentives must be applied for and approved prior to construction, and purchase and installation of equipment. You can download the New Construction Incentive Application here
Whole Building Performance/Retro-Commissioning Incentives (RCx)
Retro-Commissioning improves a building’s operations and maintenance procedures, which helps enhance overall building performance. To be eligible for the program, your facility must have more than 100,000 sq. ft. of conditioned space or systems that exhibit higher average energy use intensity.
Small Business Direct Install
Ameren Missouri offers cash incentives for small business customers through the Small Business Direct Install Program. Energy efficient lighting upgrades for small business customers are available through the Small Business Direct Install Program (SBDI). These projects can include a variety of high efficiency lighting upgrades, LED exit signs, occupancy sensors, and lighting controls. Your business can get cash incentives toward the purchase of new lighting and lighting equipment. Incentives can reduce the initial investment and your business would only pay the difference of the remaining project cost. This is a great opportunity to reduce operating costs by reducing energy use.
Ameren Missouri cash incentives for business customers allows business owners to take advantage of reduced project costs to improve the quality and efficiency of the business.
