1.2 Requested Approval. Ameren Fuels requests authorization to provide
------------------
fuel procurement and natural gas supply services to (including acting as agent
for) Union Electric and CIPS. Such services, which are similar to those that
Ameren Services currently provides to Union Electric and CIPS, would be provided
"at cost" in accordance with Section 13(b) of the Act and Rules 90 and 91
thereunder. Ameren Fuels proposes to provide such services pursuant to the terms
of the Fuel and Natural Gas Services Agreement (the "Agreement") filed herewith
as Exhibit B. The Agreement includes provisions to protect the interests of
Ameren's state utility regulators and the retail customers of Union Electric and
CIPS.
The Agreement has been filed with the Missouri and Illinois public
utilities commissions. Ameren Fuels will employ an accounting system that will
enable it to identify, track and properly allocate direct and indirect costs
associated with all of its activities.
Upon the commencement of services under the Agreement by Ameren Fuels,
Ameren Services will discontinue rendering any fuel procurement and natural gas
supply services to Union Electric and CIPS, and the service agreement between
Ameren Services and Union Electric and CIPS will be appropriately modified.
