en Missouri’s electric and natural gas businesses. These provisions create modifications to the PISA and integrated resource planning, allow the MoPSC to authorize inclusion of construction work in progress in rate base for new natural gas-fired generation facilities and new generation facilities approved through integrated resource planning, and allow natural gas utilities to file regulatory rate reviews using a future test year, among other things.Pursuant to the law, the PISA has been modified to include new natural gas generating units placed in service after the effective date of the law as qualifying property, plant, and equipment eligible for deferral and recovery of 85% of the related depreciation expense. These new natural gas generating units will also be included in the 85% of rate base allowed to earn a return at the applicable WACC under the PISA. The law also reduced the annual limit on increases to the electric service revenue requirement used to set customer rates, compared to the revenue requirement established in the immediately preceding rate order, due to the inclusion of incremental PISA deferrals in the revenue requirement. The annual limit currently in effect is 2.5% and will change to 2.25%, prorated monthly, for revenue requirements approved by

the MoPSC after August 2025. Furthermore, the PISA's effective date has been extended through 2035, unless Ameren Missouri requests and receives MoPSC approval of an extension through 2040.In addition, the law also made modifications to integrated resource planning, which requires Missouri electric utilities to file plans for meeting their customers' long-term energy needs. By August 2027, the MoPSC will publish a schedule for Missouri electric utilities to file integrated resource plans every four years. The MoPSC will be required to issue an order on the plans and shall determine whether the electric utility has submitted sufficient documentation and selected preferred resource plans representing a reasonable and prudent means of the utility's load serving obligations at just and reasonable rates. In making this determination, the MoPSC shall consider whether the plans appropriately balance specific factors described in the law. If the MoPSC approves the plans, requests for CCNs for new generation facilities to be constructed or acquired as a part of the approved plans shall be deemed necessary and convenient and the scope of the CCN proceedings to review projects will be limited. The approved generation facilities will also be eligible to include construction work in progress in rate base, subject to MoPSC approval, which would improve the timeliness of cash recovery.
