A number of Missouri residents attended meetings this week to protest a request by AmerenUE to revise tariff sheets with the Missouri Public Service Commission that are designed to increase the company’s electric service revenues by approximately $402 million. Included in this amount is an increase in the level of net fuel costs that are recovered in base rates of approximately $227 million, which company officials say will make the company’s fuel charges lower in the future, according to a company news release. The change would result in an 18% increase to residential rates.
The 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.
Public hearings on the matter are scheduled for:
