Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | | | Pay vs. Performance To comply with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information. The Pay vs. Performance (“PVP”) table below provides the “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to the PEO and the average CAP for non-PEO NEOs. CAP represents a new calculation of compensation that differs from the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”). You should refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above for discussion regarding how the Company’s compensation program is designed to align with the Company’s performance and long-term shareholder interests.

As a result no cumulative total shareholder return or peer group cumulative total shareholder return has been included in this table. (7) Value reported is the Company’s net income attributable to Ameren common shareholders, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the applicable period. (8) Our named executive officers are compensated by Ameren in accordance with its executive compensation policies. The Company does not make independent decisions regarding the compensation of its executive officers. As a result, the company-selected measure included in this table is Ameren’s GAAP diluted EPS for the respective year, which reflects the financial performance measure that in Ameren’s assessment represents the most important financial measure used to link compensation actually paid for the most recently completed fiscal year to company performance. (9) The below table provides the valuation assumptions used in determining the fair value of equity awards (on the respective valuation dates) that are materially different from those originally disclosed as of the grant date of such equity awards.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure [Text Block] | | | Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Performance Measures in the PVP Table The most important annual financial measure that Ameren uses to link pay to performance is Ameren’s EPS results, which is not only the most heavily weighted metric in the STIP, but also correlates to Ameren’s TSR, which is the most heavily weighted performance metric in the LTIP. As shown in the chart below, Ameren’s EPS increased by between 2020 and 2021, while the PEO and Average NEO CAP decreased by 7.4% and 10.2%, respectively, for the same period. In 2022, while the Average NEO CAP increased by 2.1% and the combined PEO CAP decreased by 15.9%, driven primarily by a new PEO in August 2022, Ameren’s EPS increased by 7.8%. During this same period (2020−2022), the Company’s net income increased by 35.4%. | | | |
Tabular List [Table Text Block] | | | Additional Company-Selected Performance Measures The following table represents the unranked list of the most important financial measures used to align compensation actually paid to the PEO and NEOs for 2022 to the performance of Ameren and its subsidiaries, including the Company. While these financial measures are considered the most important measures, additional financial and other measures were also considered to align the NEOs’ pay and performance, as further described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above. Ameren Annual EPS Ameren Three-Year TSR Ranking vs. the TSR Peer Group Clean Energy Transition metric These measures generally reflect those used internally to measure the performance of Ameren and its subsidiaries, including the Company, and externally to report to investors. Taken together, these measures provide a holistic measure of Ameren’s growth, shareholder value and overall financial performance, as well as Ameren’s progress toward transitioning to clean energy through the addition of renewable generation, energy storage and the retirement of coal-fired energy centers. | | | |
