Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) is a U.S. public utility holding company headquartered in Saint Louis, Missouri, founded in 1881 and operating since its 1998 listing. The company runs four segments-Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution, Ameren Illinois Natural Gas, and Ameren Transmission-engaged in rate-regulated electric generation, transmission, and distribution as well as natural gas distribution.

Operating within the GICS Multi-Utilities sub-industry, Amerens business model centers on rate-regulated utility operations across vertically integrated and distribution-only service territories. Multi-utilities typically combine electric and gas service under one corporate structure, with earnings largely determined by state and federal regulators through periodic rate cases that set allowed returns on rate base.
