It is very apparent that people all over the Country have been struggling with increased energy costs. 

Anita Russell with Community Action explains that they have been having many people reach out to them in pursuit of help with their energy bills, especially with the extreme heat we have been experiencing. She says that even if you are on the waiting list for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, Ameren still has cost-saving opportunities for you. 

Russell says that it is their goal and Ameren's to keep you from being disconnected. She reminds that as you look at your energy bills, it is not Ameren that decides the cost of electricity.
