ITEM
8.01 Other Events.
On June
5, 2009, Central Illinois Public Service Company, doing business as AmerenCIPS
(“CIPS”), Central Illinois Light Company, doing business as AmerenCILCO
(“CILCO”), and Illinois Power Company, doing business as AmerenIP (“IP”)
(collectively, the “Ameren Illinois Utilities”), filed requests with the
Illinois Commerce Commission (“ICC”) seeking approval to increase their electric
delivery service rates. CIPS, CILCO and IP requested to increase
their annual revenues from electric delivery service by $51 million, $28 million
and $102 million, respectively. The
electric rate increase requests are based on an 11.75 to 12.25 percent return on
equity, a capital structure composed of 44 to 49 percent equity, an aggregate
rate base for the Ameren Illinois Utilities of $2.4 billion, and a test year
ended December 31, 2008.
Also on
June 5, 2009, CIPS, CILCO and IP filed requests with the ICC seeking approval to
increase their natural gas delivery service rates. CIPS, CILCO and IP
requested to increase their annual revenues from natural gas delivery service by
$11 million, $9 million and $25 million, respectively. The natural
gas rate increase requests are based on an 11.25 to 11.60 percent return on
equity, a capital structure composed of 44 to 49 percent equity, an aggregate
rate base for the Ameren Illinois Utilities of $1.0 billion and a test year
ended December 31, 2008.
The ICC
proceedings relating to the proposed electric and natural gas delivery service
rate changes will take place over a period of up to 11 months and decisions by
the ICC in such proceedings are required by May 2010. The Ameren
Illinois Utilities cannot predict the level of any delivery service rate change
the ICC may approve, when any rate change may go into effect, or whether any
rate increase that may eventually be approved will be sufficient for the Ameren
Illinois Utilities to recover their costs and earn a reasonable return on their
investments when the increase goes into effect. Attached as Exhibit
99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is the Ameren Illinois Utilities’
press release regarding their filings with the ICC.
