ITEM 8.01Other Events.

 

Reference is made to Note 2 – Rate and Regulatory Matters to the financial statements under Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements and to Overview and Outlook under Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023; and to Note 2 - Rate and Regulatory Matters to the financial statements under Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and to Overview and Outlook under Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, of registrants Ameren Corporation and Ameren Illinois Company (“Ameren Illinois”), for a discussion of Ameren Illinois' natural gas delivery service regulatory rate review filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission (“ICC”) in January 2023.

 

On November 16, 2023, the ICC issued an order approving a $112 million annual base rate increase for Ameren Illinois' natural gas delivery service, which included $77 million that would have otherwise been recovered in 2024 under riders. The increase reflects a 9.44% allowed return on equity, a 50% common equity ratio, and a rate base of $2.85 billion. The order reflected a reduction of approximately $93 million of distribution and transmission capital investments included in Ameren Illinois' requested revenue increase, which used a 2024 future test year. Ameren Illinois is evaluating the potential implications of the order; however, the reduced level of capital investments is expected to have an immaterial effect on its 2023 results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

 

New rates reflecting the ICC order will become effective in late November 2023.

 

Ameren Illinois has not decided whether to seek rehearing of any aspect of the order or subsequently appeal any aspect of the order. The intervenor parties to this case may similarly seek rehearing or subsequently appeal any aspect of the order. Ameren Illinois cannot predict whether any such application for rehearing or appeal will be filed, or the outcome if so filed. 

 

 

 

This combined Form 8-K is being filed separately by Ameren Corporation and Ameren Illinois (each a “registrant”). Information contained herein relating to any individual registrant has been filed by such registrant on its own behalf. No registrant makes any representation as to information relating to any other registrant.
