Key points
AI summaryThe company said the MoPSC on June 20, 2024 issued a financing order authorizing a wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary of Ameren Missouri to issue securitized utility tariff bonds to finance costs associated with the retirement of the Rush Island Energy Center.
The company said the financing order authorizes the financing of approximately $470 million in energy transition costs and upfront financing costs. These include the unrecovered net plant balance at the time of retirement and closure and decommissioning costs. It also authorizes recovery of ongoing financing costs.
The company said the financing order includes a determination that the decision to retire the Rush Island Energy Center was reasonable and prudent. It said the MoPSC found it was not required to determine the prudency of Ameren Missouri's prior actions that led to the adverse ruling in the New Source Review and Clean Air Act litigation, and that claims regarding those actions could be considered in future regulatory proceedings.
Requests for rehearing of the financing order may be filed through July 19, 2024, and any party that seeks rehearing may then appeal, the company said. It noted that the Rush Island Energy Center is planned to be retired in October 2024.
