Ameren raised its quarterly cash dividend by four cents, to 75 cents a share from 71 cents.
The new payout, equal to $3 a year, represents an annual yield of about 2.9% based on Thursday's closing price of $104.81.
The St. Louis-based utility said the higher dividend will be paid March 31 to shareholders of record as of March 10.
Chief Executive Martin Lyons said the raise is in-line with the company's growth strategy, which balances investments to modernize its grid and increase reliability, while still maintaining a solid balance sheet and consistent dividend growth.
He added the latest increase marks the 13th consecutive year that Ameren's board has raised its dividend.
