JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A series of public hearings has been approved and scheduled by the Missouri Public Service Commission, to start the first week of January.
On July 3, 2014, Ameren Missouri filed an electric rate case with the Missouri Public Service Commission seeking to increase annual electric revenues by approximately $264 million (9.65%). Ameren Missouri’s rate filing includes a request to continue its fuel adjustment clause that reflects changes in the cost of fuel used to generate electricity on customers’ bills through a separately- identified surcharge or credit outside a general rate case.
“Ameren Missouri looks forward to explaining why it’s investing in cleaner air and in renewable energy, such as wind and solar,”read an email statement from an Ameren representative to The Missouri Times. “We’ve also improved Missouri’s electric grid so it is more dependable for Missouri families and businesses.”
Formal evidentiary hearings in this rate case are scheduled from February 23 through March 13, 2015. These hearings will be held in Room 310 of the Governor Office Building, 200 Madison Street, in Jefferson City.
Ameren Missouri provides electric service to approximately 1.2 million customers in Missouri.
