A new initiative
The Jan. 3, 2012, filing with the Illinois Commerce Commission marks the beginning of an initiative that will enable Ameren Illinois to modernize its electric distribution system over the next 10 years in order to meet the service expectations of our customers in the 21st century. This initiative was made possible by the Illinois Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act which was enacted last October. Customers will benefit through improved service reliability and a greater potential for energy savings. The law also is designed to provide greater regulatory certainty and financial stability for participating utilities. The filing made today with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) utilizes the performance-based formula rate-setting method. If approved by the ICC, the new rates are expected to take effect in October.
