ICC Ready to Whittle CIPS Revenue Proposals
The Illinois Commerce Commission plans to grant Central Illinois Public Service Co about 53 percent of its requested electricity revenue and 61.5 percent of its gas request. A draft order supports $31 million of $58.8 million for electricity and $4 million of $6.5 million for gas, with CWIP removal totaling $129 million for Newton II. Officials note bill impacts depend on rate classification, and CWIP is excluded over concerns about customer freedom and financing risk.

The current contract expires March 27, and a strike affecting 160,000 miners in Appalachia and the Midwest appears imminent, with no further bargaining sessions scheduled.
