Empower Your Transition to Electric Vehicles and Enhance Energy Efficiency

Brda Electric supports local home and business owners in their shift to a more energy-efficient future.

With the launch of the Ameren Business and Residential Efficiency Program on July 1, 2024, we expanded our services to include commercial lighting upgrades and electric vehicle (EV) charging.

Ameren’s programs have evolved since then, and so have we.

As an Ameren Trade Ally, Brda Electric helps Missouri and Illinois customers find cost-saving incentives.
