(1)On February 9, 1994, shareholders of Illinois Power
Company ("IP") approved a corporate restructuring plan
which provided for the establishment of Illinova
Corporation ("Illinova") as a holding company for IP and
other subsidiaries. On May 27, 1994, after receipt of
the final necessary regulatory approval, Illinova became
the parent of IP. Shares of IP's common stock were
converted through a triangular merger on a share-for-
share basis into common stock of Illinova. Illinova was
granted an exemption from all provisions of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, except Section
9(a)(2) thereof, on May 18, 1994, in Illinova Corp., 56
S.E.C. Docket 1944, Release No. 35-26054. IP, the
primary business and subsidiary of Illinova, is engaged
in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale
of electric energy and the distribution, transportation
and sale of natural gas in the State of Illinois.
(2)IP owns 20% of the capital stock of Electric Energy,
Inc.("EEI"). The remainder of EEI's capital stock is
owned by three other public utility companies. IP
disclaims existence of control over EEI.
(3)IP's total investment in IP Gas Supply Co., a wholly
owned subsidiary, is approximately $460,000, which is
accounted for under the equity accounting method. The
investment was made for the purpose of acquiring
interests in gas and oil leases. IP, through such
investment, is attempting to increase the supplies of
gas available to it through its pipeline supplier,
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, by
participating, together with a subsidiary of Natural Gas
Pipeline Company of America and other gas distribution
utility customers of such pipeline supplier, in the
acquisition of such leases.
(4)IP owns 50% of the capital stock of Illinois Power
Fuel Company. The remainder of its capital stock is
owned by one other entity which is not a public utility
company. Illinois Power Fuel Company was formed for the
purpose of leasing nuclear fuel and facilities incidental
thereto to IP and is deemed not to be an electric utility
company pursuant to Rule 7(d)(6) under the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935.
2. A brief description of the properties of claimant and
each of its subsidiary public utility companies used for the
generation, transmission and distribution of lectric energy
for sale, or for the production, transmission, and
distribution of natural or manufactured gas, indicating the
location of principal generating plants, transmission lines,
producing fields, gas manufacturing plants, and electric and
gas distribution facilities, including all such properties
which are outside the State in which claimant and its
subsidiaries are organized and all transmission or pipelines
which deliver or receive electric energy or gas at the
borders of such State.
IP is predominantly an electric and gas utility company
whose operations do not extend beyond the State of Illinois
in which it is organized.
IP supplies electric service at retail in 310 incorporated
municipalities, adjacent suburban areas, numerous
unincorporated communities, and rural areas in the State of
Illinois. Electric service at wholesale is supplied for
resale to one electric utility and the Illinois Municipal
Electric Agency as agent for 10 municipalities. IP provided
interchange power to 13 utilities and one power marketer for
resale. IP provides power to Soyland Power Cooperative,
Inc. ("Soyland") under a Power Coordination Agreement;
revenues received from Soyland are reported as electric
interchange.
IP supplies natural gas service at retail in 257
incorporated municipalities, adjacent suburban areas and
numerous unincorporated communities in the State of
Illinois. It does not sell gas for resale. During 1994, IP
purchased all of its gas from independent gas suppliers. IP
also transports gas for industrial and commercial customers
who have contracted to purchase gas through a broker or a
producer.
IP owns and operates electric generating stations at Havana,
Wood River, Hennepin, Baldwin, and near Danville, Illinois
(designated as Vermilion Plant) having net summer output
capabilities, respectively, of 666,000 kilowatts, 607,000
kilowatts, 289,000 kilowatts, 1,751,000 kilowatts and
174,000 kilowatts. IP also has an 86.79% ownership interest
in the Clinton Power Station ("Clinton") and Soyland owns
the remaining 13.21%. IP's portion of net summer output
capabilities of Clinton is 807,000 kilowatts. IP also owns
other generating facilities with an aggregate capability of
147,000 kilowatts, including gas turbine units at three
locations which provide peaking service. Havana Units 1 - 5
and Wood River Units 1 - 3 are currently not staffed, but
are available to meet reserve requirements with a maximum of
four months notice. IP owns an interconnected transmission
system of approximately 2,800 circuit miles, operating at
from 69,000 to 345,000 volts and a distribution system which
includes about 37,200 circuit miles of overhead and
underground lines.
IP has eight underground gas storage fields in Illinois
having a total deliverability on a peak day of about 347,000
Mcf.
IP owns liquefied petroleum gas plants at Champaign and
Freeburg with each plant having daily deliverability of
20,000 Mcf. of 1,000 Btu gas for peak shaving purposes. IP
also owns an inactive gas plant at Danville. Liquefied
petroleum gas plants at Galesburg and Jacksonville were
retired in 1994 with salvage and demolition to occur in
1995. Gas properties include approximately 7,800 miles of
mains.
IP owns 20% of the capital stock of Electric Energy, Inc.,
an Illinois corporation, which was organized to own and
operate a steam electric generating station and related
transmission facilities near Joppa, Illinois to supply
electric energy to the Department of Energy for its project
near Paducah, Kentucky.
All of the electric and gas properties of IP are located
within the State of Illinois. A 345,000 volt transmission
line running from a point at the Indiana state border to a
site near Sidney, Illinois delivers and receives electric
energy at the eastern edge of the State of Illinois. This
line is an interconnection with Indiana Michigan Power
Company. A second 345,000 volt line running from a point at
the Kentucky state border to a site near Mt. Vernon,
Illinois (a portion of such line is owned by Central
Illinois Public Service Company) delivers and receives
electric energy at the southern end of the State of
Illinois. This line is an interconnection with Tennessee
Valley Authority.

respect to claimant and each of its subsidiary public
utility companies:
