Natural Gas Infrastructure Planning
Learn more about our plans to invest in a safe, affordable, and reliable energy future.
Background
The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) issued an Order in November 2023 calling for Ameren Illinois to file a long-term gas infrastructure plan (LTGIP) by July 1, 2025. As provided for by the ICC’s Order, the LTGIP must include identification of Ameren Illinois planned gas infrastructure investments with supporting analyses addressing, among other things, rate impacts on customers, particularly low income and equity investment eligible communities. The Order also places an emphasis on providing opportunity for stakeholder input and engagement in the development of the LTGIP.
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) Reconfirmation Compliance Plan
Ameren Illinois filed a Compliance Plan (PDF) for complying with the MAOP rule (49 CFR § 192.624) on reconfirmation and records verification for transmission pipelines per the ICC's Order in February 2024. The capital investments outlined in the Compliance Plan will be an input to the preferred portfolio component of the LTGIP.
