programs for residential customers. |
| Overview: No retail unbundling program for
residential customers is being considered at this time by either the
Missouri Public Service Commission or the State legislature. It has been
discussed in the legislature, but nothing is currently in progress.

service since 1986. The utilities still provide meter reading, billing,
maintenance, and other ancillary services. |
