Item 5. Other Events
Central Illinois Light Company (the Company) is a subsidiary of CILCORP Inc.
The Company is a public utility under the laws of the State of Illinois and,
as such, is subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission
(ICC).
The Company filed a request with the ICC on January 14, 1994, to increase gas
base rates to reflect both the current costs of providing gas service and the
net investment of more than $50 million since 1991 in the gas system. The
revised rates are designed to increase annual gas revenues approximately
$15.0 million or 8.9% based upon an adjusted test year ended December 31,
1995. The filing requests a 9.4% return on original cost rate base and a
12.0% return on common equity. The Company has not increased its base rates
for gas service since January 1991. Management cannot predict the outcome of
the filing. A decision from the ICC on the filing is not expected until late
1994.
