SUPPORT NEW, RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT - NEW PURE POWER HALF-BLOCK
Ameren Missouri Pure Power has Announced a new option of purchasing a Half-Block.  This allows you to support new, renewable energy sources and reduce your carbon footprint for just $7.50 per month.  This makes it easier and more affordable to support the development of new green power sources, like wind farms, in Missouri.

Ameren Missouri customers who in enroll in the Pure Power Half-Block option will pay $7.50 a month—less than the price of three gallons of gasoline—to guarantee the delivery of 500 kilowatthours (kWh) of renewable energy to the regional power pool each month.
