SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Washington, D. C.
Statement by Holding Company Claiming
Exemption Under Rule U-2 from
the Provisions of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
To be filed annually prior to March 1
ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY
(Name of Company)
hereby files with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
pursuant to Rule U-2, its statement claiming exemption as a
holding company from the provisions of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935. In support of such claim
for exemption the following information is submitted:
1. Name, State of organization, location and nature of
business of claimant and every subsidiary thereof, other
than any exempt wholesale generator (EWG) or foreign
utility company in which claimant directly or indirectly holds
an interest.
Name of Company State of Location Nature of
Organization Business
Illinois Power Illinois Decatur, Electric and Gas
Company Illinois Utility (1)
Electric Energy, Illinois Joppa, Illinois Electric
Inc. Generation (2)
IP Gas Supply Illinois Decatur, Gas Exploration
Company Illinois (3)
Illinois Power Illinois Decatur, Lessor of
Fuel Company Illinois Nuclear Fuel (4)
(1)Illinova Corporation ("Illinova") is a holding company
for Illinois Power Company ("IP") and other subsidiaries.
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 $301,000, 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
electric 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 11 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 1995, 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 37,400 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 40,000
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
and demolished in 1995. Gas properties include approximately 7,900 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.
