CSVWhat Missouri power is made of
In plain words. Coal is the biggest source in Missouri (64%), and the power made there is dirtier than the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 1,194 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 1,452 MW are under construction.
In 2025 Missouri plants of 1 MW or more made 71.4 TWh. The biggest sources: coal 64.4%, natural gas 12.4%, nuclear 10.0%. For comparison, coal makes 16.6% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 12.9% (22.6% for the U.S.). Missouri plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.

CSVAnalyst note
Missouri residential power was 36th highest of 51 in 2015 at 11.21 ¢ and is 38th in 2024 at 12.91 ¢, so the state slid down 2 places. The U.S. figure went 12.65 to 16.48 ¢ while Missouri went +15.2%. The biggest annual move was 2023 at +7.2%; the latest year, 2024, came in at +2.6% against +3.0% for the U.S. Business customers paid 9.16 ¢ in 2015 and 10.26 ¢ in 2024, a gap to homes of -2.05 ¢ then and -2.65 ¢ now; industry went from 6.44 to 7.87 ¢ (+22.2%). Reliability changed little at the 16 Missouri utilities that report in both years: their median SAIDI went from 98 minutes in 2015 to 104 in 2024, +6%, against a U.S. median reporter of 99. Union Electric Co is the largest by accounts with 1,264,469, 37.8% of the 3,347,316 accounts in Missouri, and the top three hold 57.3%.
Missouri ranks 38th of 51 on residential price (12.91 ¢), mid-table, and 21.7% under the national average. Since 2015 the residential price moved +15.2% against +30.3% nationally, so Missouri has slipped behind the national trend by 15.1 points.
Businesses pay 2.65 ¢ less than households here (-20.5%); business is under home price in 51 of 51. The median of 26 reporting utilities is 98.8 SAIDI minutes, 1% under the national median. The top three utilities hold 62.0% of accounts, so a few reliability records set the state picture.
By revenue, Missouri electricity splits 52.9% residential, 35.3% commercial and 11.9% industrial; by kWh the split is 45.3%, 38.0% and 16.7%. Residential accounts are the largest revenue source here. Home accounts are 87.6% of 3,347,314 accounts and use 1,001 kWh a month, a commercial account 6,100 and an industrial one 114,317.
