News Releases

Due to the ice storm's extensive damage to the electric service entrances at customers' homes, the services of an electrical contractor may be required to re-attach or repair customer-owned facilities, such as the meter base, weatherhead or point of attachment. See www.ameren.com for a diagram showing this.

If a customer notices damage to these facilities, that customer/owner should call an electrical contractor to make repairs so utility workers can safely restore service. Not repairing this damage could delay restoration to the customer's home.

In addition, customers should stay away from downed power wires caused by the storm. Ameren companies are working closely with city and state officials and emergency response personnel to coordinate restoration efforts and ensure customer safety.

AT 10 a.m.: MORE THAN 320,000 CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN RESTORED ACROSS THE ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI SERVICE AREAS; 180,000 STILL OUT

80,000 Missouri---100,000 Illinois

BULK EXPECTED TO BE RESTORED BY END OF DAY WEDNESDAY, DEC. 6

WITH REMAINDER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
