Welcome

This website was developed to support the RFP selection process for 3rd party energy efficiency and demand response  implementation contractors for Ameren Illinois Utililities (AIU)for 2008-2010.

CORRECTION NOTICE 3/24/08, 3:30pm

Table 4 of the AIU RFPs for "Residential and Business Energy Solutions" for MWh and kW are incorrectly labeled  as “Cumulative”.  It should be labeled “Annual”.  As such, contractors are requested to report their AIU savings estimates as “Annual” for Table 11 to be consistent with the AIU DSM plan.  Additionally, contractors are requested to provide  their estimates for Table 11 in Excel format to assist with RFP review.

The equivalent table for AmerenUE RFPs for "Residential and Business Energy Solutions" are correctly labeled as cumulative. As such, contractors should report their estimated AmerenUE savings estimates as "Cumulative", again, to be consistent with the AmerenUE DSM Plan.

Ameren has extended the due dates for RFP responses. The new due dates are detailed below:
