It’s no secret that power bills have been on the rise this summer. There are several theories that are making the rounds about why that is the case.  Ameren’s Tucker Kennedy, Director of Public Relations, spoke about some of those myths and what the real reason is. Kennedy says that energy can be a complex topic. 

While it seems that the logical answer is to supply more power, Kennedy says it’s not that easy. 

As far as relief in sight? Kennedy says It’s on the horizon. One thing that experts are looking at is the power problems that happened in 2022. 

Ameren doesn’t generate power, and the electric supply is out of its control. Kennedy says he does feel a responsibility to be an advocate for customers.  He is urging customers to reach out to policymakers to dive into more renewable energy markets. 

Kennedy says that Ameren is consistently trying to overcome the ever-changing markets and strategies in order to help customers with their bills.  Ameren says they are working on ways to help and have resources available.
