 2025, the ICC issued an order approving a request filed by Ameren Illinois and ATXI for a CCN, among other things, related to the portion of the MISO long-range transmission projects they will construct within the ICC’s jurisdiction.FederalMISO Transmission Rate IncentivesIn 2024, the MISO approved a first set of second tranche projects related to its preliminary long-range transmission planning roadmap of projects through 2039. A portion of these projects were assigned to Ameren and are estimated to cost approximately $1.3 billion, based on the MISO’s cost estimate. In July 2025, the FERC approved transmission rate incentives relating to the second tranche projects assigned to Ameren. The incentives will allow construction work in progress to be included in rate base for projects constructed by ATXI, thereby improving the timeliness of cash recovery, and would allow recovery of prudently incurred costs, subject to FERC approval, for any portion of the projects if they are abandoned for reasons beyond the control of Ameren. ATXI will not capitalize allowance for funds used during construction on the related projects.
