REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

June 27, 1994

To the Participants and Administrator
of the Illinois Power Company
Incentive Savings Plan
    
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for plan benefits of the Illinois Power Company Incentive
Savings Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the changes
in its net assets available for plan benefits for the years
then ended, in  conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
additional information included in Schedules I and II is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a      
required part of the basic financial statements but is          
additional information required by ERISA.  Such information     
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the    
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our            
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in           
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

participate in the Plan.  Participation is voluntary.  Upon

participation ceases.  Former employees can choose to
liquidate their accounts or to leave them in the Plan.
Earnings will continue to accrue on undistributed accounts.
All accounts, whether for active or former employees, are
fully vested.

  Plan Amendment:

  In March, 1993, the Plan was amended to add an Illinois
Power Stock Fund to the available investment options.
Effective April 1, 1993, participants are able to direct any
or all of their contributions to this fund, which invests in
Illinois Power Company common stock.

  Expenses:

  Certain expenses incurred
in the administration of
the Plan are paid by the
Plan rather than the
Company.  The expenses paid
by the Plan include ESOP
record keeping fees,
trustee administrative
fees, and guaranteed
insurance contract fees.
All other expenses incurred
in the operation of the
Plan are paid by the
Company.

  Income Taxes:

     The Plan obtained its
latest determination letter
on May 16, 1985, in which
the Internal Revenue
Service stated that the
Plan, as then designed, was
in compliance with the
applicable requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code.
The Plan has been amended
since receiving the
determination letter.
However, the plan
administrator believes that
the Plan is currently
designed and being operated
in compliance with the
applicable requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code.
Therefore, no provision for
income taxes has been
included in the Plan's
financial statements.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



June 27, 1994


To the Participants and Administrator
of the Illinois Power Company
Incentive Savings Plan for Employees
Covered Under a Collective Bargaining Agreement


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for plan benefits of the Illinois Power Company Incentive
Savings Plan for Employees Covered Under a Collective
Bargaining Agreement at December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the
changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for
the years then ended, in  conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
additional information included in Schedules I and II is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is
additional information required by ERISA.  Such information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLAN
                FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED UNDER A
               COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
                              
                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:

       General:

       The Illinois Power Company Incentive Savings Plan for
Employees Covered Under a Collective Bargaining Agreement
(the Plan) is sponsored by Illinois Power Company (the
Company).  The Plan became effective as of January 1, 1987,
and is administered by the Company.  Assets of the Plan are
held and managed by State Street Bank and Trust Company of
Boston, Massachusetts (the Trustee), as trustee and
custodian.  The purpose of the Plan is to enable
participants to defer federal income tax on a portion of
their salaries as allowed by the Internal Revenue Code.  The
Plan is subject to and in compliance with the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
as amended.

       Participation:

       All employees of the Company who are covered under a
collective bargaining agreement are eligible to participate
in the Plan.  Participation is voluntary.  Upon termination
of employment with the company, active participation ceases.
Former employees can choose to liquidate their accounts or
to leave them in the Plan.  Earnings will continue to accrue
on undistributed accounts.  All accounts, whether for active
or former employees, are fully vested.

       Plan Amendment:

       In March, 1993, the Plan was amended to add an
Illinois Power Stock Fund to the available investment
options.  Effective April 1, 1993, participants are able to
direct any or all of their contributions to this fund, which
invests in Illinois Power Company common stock.

       Contributions:

       Participants may make before-tax contributions by
payroll deduction up to the legal dollar limit.
Participants may also make after-tax contributions in cash
or by payroll deduction.  Total contributions are limited to
the applicable percentage limit set by law.  A participant
may also "roll-over" into the Plan amounts previously
invested in another retirement plan.

       There are six investment funds maintained by the
Trustee, the Money Market Fund, the Guaranteed Investment
fund, the Equity Income Fund, the Retirement Growth Fund,
the Balanced Fund, and the Stock Fund.  Participants have
the option of directing their contributions into any or all
of the funds in the proportions they choose.  They may
change their direction options or transfer amounts from fund
to fund on a monthly basis.

       The Company contributes a monthly matching
contribution to the Plan equal to 25% of the first $160 of
the participants' monthly before-tax contributions.  All
Company matching contributions are paid in shares of
Illinois Power Company common stock and are contained in the
Stock Fund.  Dividends on stock held in the Stock Fund are
reinvested for the participants in additional shares of the
Company's common stock.

       The Company has an Incentive Compensation arrangement
in which employees can earn cash and Company stock if the
Company achieves specified performance goals.  Shares
awarded under the Incentive Compensation arrangement are
held in the Stock Fund.  Dividends earned on these shares
are reinvested in Company stock and allocated to
participants' accounts in the Stock Fund.

       Shares previously held in the Tax Reduction Act Stock
Ownership Plan (TRASOP), which was eliminated in 1988, are
also held in the Stock Fund.
       ESOP:

       In October 1990, the Board of Directors authorized
amendments to the Plan to provide for the implementation of
an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) arrangement.  Under
this arrangement, the Company, pursuant to authorization
granted by the ICC, loaned $35 million to the Trustee of the
ESOP in January 1991.  The loan proceeds were used to
purchase 2,049,975 shares of the Company's common stock on
the open market.  These shares are held in the ESOP and are
allocated to the accounts of eligible participating
employees as they are earned through the Match or Incentive
Compensation features of the Plan.

       As of December 31, 1993, 93,763 and 122,513 shares
have been allocated to bargaining unit employees for Company
Match and Incentive Compensation, respectively.

       Distributions:

       Distributions as provided for in the Plan are made to
Plan participants or their beneficiaries no later than 120
days following the close of the Plan year in which the
terminated participant reaches age 65 unless an earlier
distribution is requested.  All distributions are made in
the form of cash and/or Company common stock.

       Loans:

       The Plan allows participants to borrow from their
before-tax and TRASOP accounts an amount not to exceed 50%
of those account balances.  Interest is charged on these
loans at a rate commensurate with interest rates charged by
persons in the business of lending money for similar type
loans.  The period of repayment ranges from 1 to 10 years.
Loan repayments are made by payroll deductions authorized by
the participant and by optional cash payments.  Interest
paid on the loan is credited to the participant's account.
The Trustee maintains a Loan Fund to hold the balances of
participants' loans.

       Plan Termination:

       It is expected that the Plan will be continued, but
the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan is reserved
by the Company provided that such action does not
retroactively and adversely affect the rights of any
participant or beneficiary under the Plan.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       Basis of Accounting:

       The accompanying Plan financial statements are
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

       Investments:

       Investments are stated at current value based on the
latest quoted market price or at fair value as determined by
the Trustee.

       Distributions Payable:

         As of December 31, 1993, distributions approved for
payment by the Plan are as follows:

                       Money Market Fund
$    0
                       Guaranteed Investment Fund
21,124
                       Equity Income Fund
45,402
                       Retirement Growth Fund
37,851
                       Balanced Fund
0
                       Stock Fund
36,283


$140,660


  In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, these payments are not a liability of the plan
at December 31, 1993.  However, the Department of Labor
requires these payments to be recorded as a liability on the
Form 5500 - Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan.
Accordingly, the net assets available for benefits as
reflected in the Form 5500 are less than the net assets
presented on the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan
Benefits.

  Income:

  Interest and dividend income is accrued as earned.

  Net appreciation (depreciation) of investments is
comprised of the change in market value compared to the cost
of investments retained in the Plan, and realized gains or
losses on security transactions which represent the
difference between proceeds received and average cost.  For
the purpose of allocation to participants, the Company's
common stock is valued by the Plan at actual cost; however,
current value is used at the time of distribution to
participants and results in a realized gain or loss as
reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Plan Benefits.

  Expenses:

  Certain expenses incurred in the administration of the
Plan are paid by the Plan rather than the Company.  The
expenses paid by the Plan include ESOP record keeping fees,
trustee administrative fees, and guaranteed insurance
contract fees.  All other expenses incurred in the operation
of the Plan are paid by the Company.

  Income Taxes:

  The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on June
23, 1987, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that
the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  The
Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
letter.  However, the plan administrator believes that the
Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance
with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been
included in the Plan's financial statements.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

  Plan investments are received, invested and held by the
Trustee.  Individual investments that represent 5% or more
of the Plan's net assets available for benefits include:

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

     At December 31, 1993, the Plan held 640,680 shares of
the Company's common stock with a cost and market value of
$13,314,730 and $14,175,045, respectively.  During the year
ended December 31, 1993, the Plan purchased 122,502 shares in
84 transactions at a cost of $5,242,054 and also sold 86,158
shares in 92 transactions, the proceeds of which totaled
$2,129,289.  Net gains realized on the sales amounted to
$77,628.  The transactions are allowable party-in-interest
transactions under Section 408(e) of the ERISA regulations.

     During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Plan
invested in short-term investment funds at State Street Bank
and Trust Company.  Transactions with the State Street Short-
term Investment Fund included 341 purchases and 250 sales
which totaled $5,184,189 and $5,054,488, respectively.  These
transactions are allowable party-in-interest transactions
under Section 408(b)(8) of the ERISA regulations.
