On November 21, 2014, Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri (“Ameren”) filed an application containing its Fuel Adjustment Clause (FAC) true-up filing, as it is required to do by Commission rules 4 CSR 240-3.161 and 4 CSR 240-20.090.  Rule 4 CSR 240‑20.090(5)(D) requires the Commission’s Staff to examine and analyze the information Ameren has submitted and to submit a recommendation to the Commission not later than 30 days after Ameren made its filing. That means Staff’s recommendation will be due no later than December 21, 2014.  Under that rule, the Commission must then act to approve, reject, or suspend Ameren’s true-up filing by January 20, 2015.

Commission Rule 4 CSR 240-3.161(10)(A) provides that the parties to the rate case in which the Commission established Ameren’s fuel adjustment clause are automatically parties to this true-up case, without the necessity of having to apply for intervention.  The Commission therefore acknowledges that the parties to File No. ER‑2012‑0166 are parties to this case and will direct its data center to add those parties to the service list.

The Commission will also establish a submission date for any other entity that may wish to apply to intervene and will direct its Data Center to serve a copy of this order upon the parties in ER-2012-0166 and upon the county commission of each county in Ameren’s service area.  In addition, the Commission’s Public Information Office shall make notice of this order available to the media serving Ameren’s service area and to the members of the Missouri General Assembly representing the residents of Ameren’s service area.

THE COMMISSION ORDERS THAT:

1.               The Commission’s Data Center shall add all parties from File No. ER‑2012‑0166 to the service list for this case.

2.               Any proper person or entity wishing to intervene in this matter shall file an application to intervene no later than December 14, 2014, with:

Morris L. Woodruff, Secretary

Missouri Public Service Commission

Post Office Box 360

Jefferson City, Missouri 65102

 

3.               The Commission’s Data Center shall serve a copy of this order upon the county commission of each county in the service territory of Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri.

4.               The Commission’s Public Information Officer shall make notice of this order available to the members of the Missouri General Assembly representing the residents of the service area of Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri and to the news media serving the residents of the service territory of Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri.

5.               The Staff of the Commission shall file its recommendation no later than December 21, 2014.

6.               This order shall become effective when issued.
