CAPE GIRARDEAU — Natural gas customers in Missouri and Illinois can expect to see a significant increase in their heating costs this winter.
Ameren says higher global demand for energy has increased the price of the home-heating fuel. Customers could pay as much as 30 percent more this winter compared to last.
