In April 2025, Missouri Senate Bill 4 was enacted and will become effective in late August 2025. The law includes certain provisions that affect the regulation of Ameren Missouri’s electric and natural gas businesses. These provisions create modifications to the PISA and integrated resource planning, allow the MoPSC to authorize inclusion of construction work in progress in rate base for new natural gas-fired generation facilities and new generation facilities approved through integrated resource planning, and allow natural gas utilities to file regulatory rate reviews using a future test year, among other things.

In April 2025, the MoPSC issued an order in Ameren Missouri’s 2024 electric service regulatory rate review, approving nonunanimous stipulations and agreements. The order authorizes an increase of $355 million to Ameren Missouri’s annual revenue requirement for electric retail service, effective June 1, 2025. The approved revenue requirement was based on infrastructure investments as of December 31, 2024. The order did not explicitly specify an ROE, capital structure, rate base, or any rate base disallowances. The order provides for the continued use of all existing riders and trackers. The order also changed annualized depreciation, regulatory asset and liability amortization amounts, and the base level of expenses for trackers. On an annualized basis, these changes reflect an increase in “Depreciation and amortization” of approximately $70 million, among other expense changes, on Ameren’s and Ameren Missouri’s consolidated statements of income.

In May 2025, Ameren Missouri filed a request with the MoPSC to modify its existing large primary service tariff to require customers requesting 100 MW or more of demand and who are served at transmission level voltage to comply with additional tariff terms. The additional terms include a minimum service term of 15 years, minimum demand charges of 70% of contracted capacity, customer exit terms and fees, and customer credit and collateral requirements, among other terms. In addition, new customer programs would be available under this tariff, which allows customers to support renewable generation, battery storage, or nuclear generation through incremental payments. A decision by the MoPSC is expected by February 2026.

In June 2025, Ameren Missouri filed for a CCN with the MoPSC to construct the Big Hollow Natural Gas (800-MW facility) and the Big Hollow Battery Energy Storage (400-MW facility) projects, with a decision by the MoPSC expected in the first half
