Summary
At its Sept. 18 meeting the Commission approved batches of installer and energy-efficiency certifications, granted Illinois American a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to acquire Madison's wastewater system, denied rehearing petitions in Ameren's rate design docket, and approved confidentiality protection for parts of a 2024 annual report.
The Illinois Commerce Commission on Sept. 18 approved multiple certificates for EV and distributed-generation installers, granted Illinois American a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to acquire substantially all of the City of Madison’s wastewater collection system, denied rehearing petitions in Ameren’s Revenue Neutral Rate Design docket, and ordered confidentiality protections for portions of a petitioner's 2024 annual report.
The Chair presented grouped items E7–E19 and E20–E23 granting certifications for companies to install, maintain, or repair electric vehicle charging station facilities and to install distributed generation facilities; the Commission approved those orders on no objection. Items E25–E36 granting certifications to install energy efficiency measures were also approved together.
On water and sewer matters, the Commission approved Illinois American’s application for a CPCN and the associated asset purchase agreement for the City of Madison’s wastewater collection system, allowing the company to provide wastewater collection service under the approved terms.
In petitions for rehearing (PR1) on Docket 25‑0083 (Ameren’s Revenue Neutral Rate Design), the Commission denied a joint petition from IIEC and GFAI and also denied Ameren’s rehearing request on four issues; the commission entered an amendatory order correcting a statement in the final order regarding Ameren’s position on energy efficiency rebates.
In telecommunications and confidentiality matters, the Commission granted a petition to protect portions of a petitioner’s 2024 annual report from public disclosure for no less than two years after finding the report contains proprietary commercial and financial information. The Commission also approved cancellations and certificates under routine docket items and approved program administrator submissions under the Illinois Solar for All and Illinois Adjustable Block Programs.
The Chair closed the agenda after Judge T. Kingsley confirmed there were no other matters and adjourned the meeting.
