Homefield Energy guarantees a rate of $0.04646 per kWh (kilo Watt hour) effective as of the June 2014 billing cycle. You will receive a renewal notice in the mail the week of April 15, 2014. To remain with Homefield DO NOTHING! If a resident wishes to remain with, or return to, Ameren, complete the opt-out card in the afore mentioned mailing, and complete it by May 2, 2014.

Unlike Ameren and/or other electric energy providers, Homefield Energy’s rate of $ 0.046 is a constant rate throughout the contract period (June 2014 – June 2016). There will be NO increase or variable rate during summer or high-use months. Electric energy will continue to be DELIVERED to homes by Ameren Illinois.
