If approved, it will mean an 11 percent increase for customers across all rate classes, the company said. … The request comes on the heels of a $226 million rate increase — a 10 percent hike — that took effect in June. And in late July,… AmerenUE put in another request to collect an additional $71 million from customers for fuel-related expenses, which is still pending. http://fairelectricityrates.com/2010/09/04/the-utility-filed-its-request-friday-with-the-missouri-public-service-commission-if-approved-it-will-mean-an-11-percent-increase-for-customers-across-all-rate-classes-the-company-said-the-requ/ http://fairelectricityrates.com/2010/09/04/the-utility-filed-its-request-friday-with-the-missouri-public-service-commission-if-approved-it-will-mean-an-11-percent-increase-for-customers-across-all-rate-classes-the-company-said-the-requ/#comments Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:22:40 +0000 admin http://fairelectricityrates.com/?p=783 http://fairelectricityrates.com/2010/09/04/the-utility-filed-its-request-friday-with-the-missouri-public-service-commission-if-approved-it-will-mean-an-11-percent-increase-for-customers-across-all-rate-classes-the-company-said-the-requ/feed/ 0 AmerenUE has had three rate increases in the last three years.
