Which utility serves this customer?
Each Missouri utility has different net metering rules, rebate programs, and pitch angles. Selecting here loads the right calculator math and proposal template.
Ameren Missouri
Ameren Missouri · St. Louis metro + eastern & central Missouri (~1.2M electric customers)
Avoided-cost net billing by label, but MONTHLY netting: Ameren nets all your kWh against each other at the full retail rate (~13¢/kWh) over the billing month, so a battery's day/night shifting is already done for free by the netting — the battery does NOT reduce today's bill here (~$0 bill arbitrage). Only the monthly NET EXCESS (over-production) is credited at the seasonal avoided-fuel-cost rate — $0.0384/kWh summer / $0.0339/kWh winter (MO.P.S.C. No. 6, Sheet 171, eff 3/1/2025; cents carry a confirm-current conflict) — expiring at 12 months with no cash-out, so size to consumption (a battery cannot move excess between months). NM runs on the flat Anytime rate — Sheet 171.1 bars pairing NM with an Optional Time-of-Day rate, so there's no intra-day price to arbitrage (Ameren's 2026 FAQ suggests all five plans may now allow NM — confirm current). $9.00/mo customer charge; one-time bidirectional meter cost (customer reimburses actual cost per tariff). 100 kW residential cap; max nameplate = (prior-12-month kWh) ÷ (8,760 × 15.6%). Battery value = resilience + rate-hedge + position + system takeover, not bill savings.
Lead with: Favorable monthly netting (battery ~$0 on the bill) + documented Ameren rate climb + severe-weather resilience
Evergy Missouri
Evergy Missouri · Kansas City metro (Evergy Missouri Metro jurisdiction) · ~600,000 customers
Avoided-cost net billing by label, but MONTHLY netting on the default plan: Evergy nets all your kWh across the billing month at retail (~12.8¢/kWh blended, KC Metro) under the standard Schedule NM (Sheet 34D), so a battery's day/night shifting changes nothing at month-end — the battery does NOT reduce today's bill (~$0 bill arbitrage). Only the monthly NET EXCESS is credited at avoided fuel cost — $0.0190/kWh (Metro, Sheet 31A, eff 2/21/2025) — expiring on a rolling 12-month basis with no cash-out (a sizing matter; size to consumption). The default residential rate is Peak Reward Saver (RPKA), whose energy charge is flat across hours, so there's no intra-day energy differential to arbitrage. ADVANCED (per-customer, never default savings): electing a real TOU rate (RTOU) moves you to per-period NM-TOU netting with a ~22.5–28¢/kWh peak differential a battery could capture — rider-under-NM interaction UNCONFIRMED. $12.00/mo customer charge. Battery value = resilience + rate-hedge + position + system takeover, not bill savings.
Lead with: Favorable monthly netting (battery ~$0 on the bill) + documented Evergy rate climb + severe-weather resilience
