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.

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.
