Ameren – Ameren Illinois on Thursday said customers in Central and Southern Illinois are expected to save about eight dollars per month on their utility bills next year after state regulators approved the company’s 2019 rate requests. The new rates for the company’s gas and electric services, both of which were approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission, will take effect in November and January, respectively. A statement from Ameren said investments that the energy company continues to make to its electric and gas delivery systems through its multi-year modernization plan has led to reductions in service interruptions and stronger distribution efforts throughout coverage areas.
