One can calculate their savings by taking their electric bill and the number of kWH. If you use 800kWH (considered about the average per household) and multiply by 0.01245, you show a savings of 9.96 or an annual savings of $119.52. The actual average household was a bit higher.

It is an "opt out" program that will automatically be on your bill, unless you exercise your choice not to use it and go with Ameren or any other program you may be using.
