Ameren Files New Retail Purchased Electricity Charges (Default Service Rates)

Ameren has filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission new Retail Purchased Electricity Charges (electric supply rates) for the period October 2019 to May 2020

The new Retail Purchased Electricity Charges reflect the results from the fall 2019 block energy procurement event (see results here)

Generally, the new Retail Purchased Electricity Charges represent a decrease from the prior indicative October 2019 to May 2020 Retail Purchased Electricity Charges of about 1 mill per kWh or less

The Retail Purchased Electricity Charges are the largest component of the Price to Compare (PTC). The PTC also includes the Supply Cost Adjustments and a bypassable transmission rate. A bypassable Purchased Electricity Adjustment is not included in the PTC.
