Ameren Illinois has filed paperwork with the Illinois Commerce Commission seeking a rate adjustment that would increase the average household bill be about $6 per month on the electric side of the business, and just slightly more than that for natural gas.
Specifically, the utility is asking for about $160 million on the natural gas side of the company and about $435.6 million over four years for electric. Ameren Illinois spokesman Tucker Kennedy explains...
The estimated cost to electric consumers is based on a monthly usage of about 10,000 kW, while the natural gas estimate of $6,68 per month is based on monthly usage of about 745 therms.
