Item 1. Business
(a) General Development of Business
Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company (the Company or Iowa- Illinois) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1940 and is engaged in the business of generating, transmitting, distributing and selling electric energy and distributing, selling and transporting natural gas in the States of Illinois and Iowa. Through a wholly owned subsidiary, InterCoast Energy Company, the Company engages in non-regulated energy-related businesses. The Company's principal executive offices are located at One RiverCenter Place, 106 East Second Street, Davenport, Iowa 52801 (telephone: 319-326-7111).
On December 21, 1994, the shareholders of the Company, Midwest Resources Inc. (Midwest Resources) and Midwest Power Systems Inc. (Midwest Power) approved a strategic merger of equals to form MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican). MidAmerican will be structured as a utility with the Company, Midwest Resources and Midwest Power being merged into the new company.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Midwest Resources' common shareholders will receive one share of MidAmerican common stock for each Midwest Resources share and the Company's common shareholders will receive 1.47 shares of MidAmerican common stock for each Company share. At the effective date of the merger, each series of the Company's preference shares then outstanding will be converted into an equal number of shares of MidAmerican preferred stock.
Approval of the merger is required from the following regulatory agencies: the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB), the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the transfer of the Quad-Cities Nuclear Power Station (Quad-Cities Station) license to MidAmerican must also be obtained.
Applications for approval of the merger were filed with the IUB and the ICC in October 1994. An application for approval of the merger was filed with the FERC in November 1994. At the same time, consistent with FERC policy, the Company filed open access, comparable services electric tariffs with the FERC, which tariffs will allow others to use MidAmerican's electric transmission system in a manner comparable to its use by MidAmerican. In January 1995, the IUB issued an order approving the merger. The ICC and FERC are expected to issue orders on the merger by mid 1995. A filing with the NRC was made in November 1994. Completion of the merger is expected during 1995.
The management of the Company believes that the formation of MidAmerican will create a larger, stronger company, which will be better positioned to grow and succeed within the emerging competitive utility industry. In this new environment, management believes that successful utilities will need financial strength, market leadership and low costs. The merger will address these elements.
The Company expects that competitive pressures in the electric industry initially will be focused on industrial sales. While about 25% of Iowa-Illinois' electric revenues come from industrial customers, only about 20% of MidAmerican's electric revenues will come from this customer group. In terms of the competitive position of MidAmerican, the industrial rates of both Iowa-Illinois and Midwest Power are well below national and regional averages.
Management believes that MidAmerican also will be well- positioned for competition in the natural gas industry, with low- cost reliable gas supply portfolios and multiple pipeline suppliers. The residential gas rates of Iowa-Illinois and Midwest Power are well below national averages.
Management believes that the merger will provide opportunities to achieve significant long-term benefits for shareholders, customers, employees and the communities served by the two companies. These benefits are: increased size and stability, better use of generating capacity, coordination of dispatch, savings on purchases, coordination of non-regulated businesses and reduced administrative costs. It is estimated the merger will result in savings of nearly $500 million over 10 years.
Iowa-Illinois and Midwest Power have announced plans to reduce their combined utility work forces by a total of approximately 15 percent in conjunction with development of a restructured organization to be effective at the completion of the merger. As part of these reductions, the companies are offering incentive retirement and severance programs to salaried employees. The companies estimate these programs will reduce 1995 after-tax earnings of MidAmerican by approximately $9 million, or 9 cents a share, if the merger is consummated in 1995.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
Financial information on the Company's segments of business is included under the Note "Segment Information" on pages 36 and 37 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1994 which pages are incorporated herein by reference. This information is also included in Exhibit 13.A.4 to this Form 10-K.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
General
The Company distributes electric energy in the Quad-Cities (Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa and Rock Island, Moline and East Moline, Illinois), Iowa City and Fort Dodge, Iowa and a number of adjacent communities and areas.
The Company distributes natural gas in the Quad-Cities, and in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Fort Dodge and Ottumwa, Iowa and a number of adjacent communities and areas.
Electric and/or gas service is provided in 22 incorporated communities in Illinois and 48 incorporated communities in Iowa. Franchises with various expiration dates have been obtained from all 70 communities. The length of term of the franchises is typically 25 years.
The population of the Company's electric service territory is approximately 425,000 and the population of its gas service territory is approximately 600,000. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had 202,003 retail electric customers and 244,062 gas customers.
The Company has a residential, agricultural commercial and diversified industrial customer group, in which no single industry or customer accounted for more than 8.6% (primary metal industry) of the Company's total 1994 electric operating revenues or 4.7% (real estate) of its total 1994 gas operating revenues. Among the primary industries served by the Company are those which are concerned with the manufacturing, processing and fabrication of primary metals, real estate, food products, farm and other non-electrical machinery, cement and gypsum products.
For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company derived approximately 64.1% of its gross utility operating revenues from its electric business and 35.9% from its gas business. For 1993 and 1992, the corresponding percentages were 62.1% electric and 37.9% gas, and 62.8% electric and 37.2% gas, respectively.
Historical electric sales (kwh) by customer class as a percent of total electric sales and retail electric sales data (kwh) by jurisdiction are shown below: Total Electric Sales By Customer Class 1994 1993 1992

Total 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
There are seasonal variations in the Company's electric and gas businesses, which are principally related to the use of energy for air conditioning and heating. In 1994, 39.2% of the Company's electric revenues were reported in the months of June, July, August and September, reflecting the use of electricity for cooling, and 63.1% of the Company's gas revenues were reported in the months of January, February, March and December, reflecting the use of gas for heating.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had 1,387 employees, of which 1,289 were employed in utility operations and 98 were employed by InterCoast Energy Company.
Rate Matters
Under Illinois law, new rates may be put into effect by the Company 45 days after filing with the ICC, or on such earlier date as the ICC may approve, subject to the power of the ICC to suspend the proposed new rates for a period not to exceed eleven months after filing, pending a hearing.
Under Iowa law, temporary collection of higher rates can begin (subject to refund) 90 days after filing with the IUB for that portion of such higher rates approved by the IUB based on prior ratemaking principles and a rate of return on common equity previously approved. If the IUB has not issued a final order within ten months after the filing date, the temporary rates cease to be subject to refund and any balance of the requested rate increase may then be collected subject to refund. Exceptions to the ten month limitation are provided for extensions due to a utility's lack of due diligence in the rate proceeding, judicial appeals and situations involving new generating units being placed in service.
In October 1994, the Company filed an application with the IUB to recover the costs of state-mandated energy-efficiency programs offered to Iowa electric and gas customers since 1992. Costs of the programs are to be recovered over four years, as required by Iowa law. The overall annual rate increase requested, including a return on deferred amounts and an allowance for performance rewards, is approximately $4.7 million (1.4%). The proposed effective date for cost-recovery additions on customer bills is June 1995.
In April 1992, the FERC issued Order No. 636, directing a restructuring by interstate pipeline companies for their natural gas sales and transportation services. The FERC Order contemplated that transitional gas supply realignment costs related to this restructuring may be billed by interstate pipelines to their customers. At December 31, 1994, a regulatory asset of $23.5 million, with an offsetting non-current Other Liability, has been recorded. In addition, the Company estimates it may incur other future billings of approximately $15 million related to such restructuring. The Company is currently recovering such costs through rates.
The Company has established an external trust for the investment of funds collected for nuclear decommissioning. Electric tariffs in effect for 1995 include provisions for annual decommissioning costs of approximately $8.6 million. In Illinois, nuclear decommissioning costs are included in customer billings through a mechanism that permits annual adjustments. In Iowa, such costs are reflected in base rates.
The Company's Iowa electric tariffs contain a Uniform Electric Energy Adjustment Clause under which the Company's billings reflect changes in the cost of all fuels used for electric generation, including nuclear fuel disposition costs, as well as the net effect of energy transactions (other than capacity) with other utilities. Changes in the cost of gas to the Company are reflected in its Iowa gas rates through the Iowa Uniform Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause.
Under Illinois electric tariffs, the Company's Fuel Cost Adjustment Clause reflects changes in the cost of all fuels used for electric generation, including allowable fuel transportation costs, nuclear fuel disposition costs and the effects of energy transactions (other than capacity and margins on interchange sales) with other utilities. Changes in the cost of gas to the Company are reflected in its Illinois gas rates through the Illinois Uniform Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause.
Electric Operations
The Company's accredited 1994 summer net generating capacity was 1,430,868 kilowatts, consisting of (a) 384,750 kilowatts from the Company's 25% undivided interest in the Quad-Cities Station, jointly owned with ComEd, (b) 914,918 kilowatts from interests in wholly or jointly owned coal-fired units, (c) 128,000 kilowatts from wholly owned gas/oil fired units, and (d) 3,200 kilowatts from wholly owned hydro-electric units. In February 1995, the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool approved an increase in the accreditation of the Louisa Generating Station from 650 megawatts to 675 megawatts effective as of June 7, 1994. This action increased the Company's summer net generating capacity from 1,430,868 kilowatts to 1,441,618 kilowatts. The net generating capacity at any time may be less due to regulatory restrictions, fuel restrictions and generating units being temporarily out of service for inspection, maintenance, refueling or modifications. On August 26, 1993, the Company established its record one-hour peak electric demand of 1,084,965 kilowatts.
Fuel Supply for Electric Operations
The Company's sources of fuel for electric generation have been as follows for the periods shown:
Year Ended December 31, Fuel Source 1994 1993 1992 Coal 73.63% 63.18% 63.95% Nuclear 25.80 36.52 35.56 Gas 0.46 0.28 0.45 Oil 0.11 0.02 0.04
In 1995 the Company projects its electric generation requirements will be met as follows: coal - 59%, nuclear - 41%.
The average costs of fuels (including transportation and handling costs) in cents per million BTU's consumed have been as follows for the periods shown:
Year Ended December 31, Fuel Source 1994 1993 1992 Nuclear 47.40 47.36 44.57 Coal 97.49 105.79 102.97 Gas 345.09 373.25 313.33 Oil 378.36 440.95 412.80 Total Weighted Average 84.93 86.62 83.93
The average cost of coal (including transportation and handling costs) per ton for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992 has been $17.13, $18.22 and $17.57, respectively.
The Company has been advised by ComEd that the majority of its uranium concentrate and uranium conversion requirements for the Quad-Cities Station for 1995 can be met under existing supplies or commitments. ComEd foresees no problem in obtaining the remaining requirements now or obtaining future requirements. ComEd further advises that all enrichment requirements have been contracted for through 1999. Commitments for fuel fabrication have been obtained at least through 2000. ComEd does not anticipate that it will have any difficulty in contracting for uranium concentrates for conversion, enrichment or fabrication of nuclear fuel needed for the Quad-Cities Station.
In June 1985, the Company satisfied its financial obligation for Quad-Cities Station disposal costs for fuel burned prior to April 1983 by making a lump sum payment of $24.8 million to the Department of Energy (DOE). The payment was made principally from funds previously collected from customers. Disposal costs for fuel burned after April 1983 are paid quarterly. Such costs are included in the cost of fuel and recovered through fuel and energy adjustment clause billings. See Nuclear Regulation herein for further information concerning the disposal of spent nuclear fuel.
The Company believes its sources of coal for its fossil- fueled generating stations are and will be satisfactory. Renewal of expiring contracts and negotiations of new agreements will be pursued as required. The coal requirements for the Riverside Station are being met primarily through spot purchases. Contracts for low-sulfur Wyoming coal have been executed for the Neal Unit 3, Council Bluffs, Ottumwa and Louisa units which will supply a portion of requirements through the years 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2003, respectively. Unit trains are being used for transporting coal for the Riverside, Neal, Council Bluffs, Ottumwa and Louisa units. The Company has negotiated certain modifications to existing contracts to achieve flexibility in volumes to be delivered while also providing reasonable assurance of supply. In addition, the Company has used spot market purchases of coal to effectively manage inventory levels and take advantage of near term coal market opportunities. The Company is continuing to monitor existing contracts and coal supply requirements, balancing coal requirements with a combination of contract and spot purchases.
Gas Operations
During 1994, the Company purchased over 99 percent of the gas required to supply its customers from non-pipeline gas suppliers on a firm or interruptible basis and transported such gas on a firm or interruptible basis through the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL), ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) and Northern Natural Gas (NNG) systems. The remainder was purchased from NNG.
All gas supply purchased from NNG is at rates approved by the FERC under the Natural Gas Act. Likewise, transportation rates negotiated with NGPL, ANR and NNG are subject to FERC approval. Non-pipeline supply prices are negotiated.
The Company withdrew approximately 94 percent of the gas in leased storage during the 1993-94 heating season. Storage gas was replaced during the summer for the 1994-95 heating season.
Beginning in December 1993, the Company has rebundled a portion of its firm pipeline transportation with firm supply from a third party supplier. This citygate service replaces bundled sales service previously purchased from one of the Company's pipeline suppliers.
The Company provides natural gas transportation service through its distribution system for end-use customers. Transportation of customer-owned gas was 40.4 percent of the total Company throughput during 1994.
For the 1994-95 heating season, the Company's peak-day supply delivery availability consists of firm capacity on the NGPL, ANR and NNG systems for the transportation of firm non- pipeline gas. In addition, peak-day supply is available from gas previously purchased by the Company and held in leased pipeline storage. The Company leases storage from NGPL, ANR and NNG. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) stored in the Company's LNG facility is also available for peak-day use. Following are the current peak-day supply sources for the Company which are available for the 1994-95 heating season by volume and proportions:
Millions Percent of Cubic of Feet Total
Underground Storage 205.1 42.1 Firm Non-Pipeline Supply 141.4 29.0 Rebundled Service 96.9 19.9 LNG Facility 40.0 8.2 Pipeline System Management Service 4.0 0.8 487.4 100.0
Peak-day firm demand for the 1994-95 heating season was projected to be 464.4 million cubic feet for the Company. The actual highest demand for peak-day firm sales for the 1994-95 heating season for the Company was 353 million cubic feet on January 4, 1995. The average temperature on that day was 1 degree above zero.
On January 17, 1994, a new record was set for total Company gas throughput (sales and transportation) of 516 million cubic feet.
In the Spring of 1995, the Company will begin construction on a 63-mile, 16-inch diameter pipeline from NNG's main line near Dubuque, Iowa, to the Company's facilities in Davenport, Iowa. The interconnection will give the Company and its customers more supply and pipeline transportation options, which will help ensure continued access to the lowest-cost gas supplies.
A 1994 ruling by the IUB will enhance gas earnings. The Company has firm rights to pipeline capacity to transport gas from the production area to its service territory. With the restructuring of the industry, if the Company does not need the capacity (due to fluctuations in anticipated system demand), it can "sublease" such capacity to other companies. To provide incentives for the achievement of optimum use of available transportation capacity, the IUB ruling allows the Company to retain 30% of Iowa revenues earned on the "subleased" capacity and returns 70% to customers through the purchased gas adjustment.
See Rate Matters for a discussion of certain transition costs.
Construction Program
The table below shows actual construction expenditures for 1994 and budgeted expenditures for 1995 and for the period 1996- 1999:
1994 1995 1996-99 Actual Budgeted Budgeted (Thousands of Dollars) Electric Production $ 18,279 $ 15,651 $ 56,497 Transmission 1,429 1,307 6,912 Distribution 10,128 13,345 37,196 Gas 12,246 31,118 59,268 General Plant 26,875 13,633 19,982 Subtotal 68,957 75,054 179,855 Nuclear Fuel 11,316 9,283 35,669 Total $ 80,273 $ 84,337 $215,524
The amounts shown above include allowance for funds used during construction. Of the $72.1 million of budgeted electric production expenditures for the 1995-1999 period, $35.9 million are for expenditures at the Quad-Cities Station. In addition to the amounts shown above, the Company also expects to contribute a total of $43.2 million to an external trust for nuclear decommissioning during the 1995-1999 period. The Company's above budgeted construction expenditures do not include any amounts that may be required to pay the Company's share of the cost of replacing certain stainless steel piping at the Quad-Cities Station. Such expenditures are currently not expected to be required. See Nuclear Regulation.
General Regulation
The Company is a public utility under the laws of Illinois and is regulated by the ICC as to retail rates, services, accounts, issuance of securities, affiliate transactions, construction, acquisition and sale of utility property, acquisition and sale of securities and in other respects as provided by the laws of Illinois. The Company is also a public utility under the laws of Iowa and is regulated by the IUB as to retail rates, services, accounts, construction of utility property and in other respects as provided by the laws of Iowa.
The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC with respect to certain matters, including short-term borrowings, rates for transmission and sale of electric energy at wholesale, interconnection of electric transmission facilities, acquisition and sale of certain electric utility property, installation and replacement of certain gas utility property and accounting policies and practices.
Nuclear Regulation
The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC with respect to the Quad-Cities Station. The NRC regulations control the granting of permits and licenses for the construction and operation of nuclear generating stations and subject such stations to continuing review and regulation. The NRC review and regulatory process covers, among other things, operations, maintenance, and environmental and radiological aspects of such stations. The NRC may modify, suspend or revoke licenses and impose civil penalties for failure to comply with the Atomic Energy Act, the regulations under such Act or the terms of such licenses. Attempts are made from time to time by various individuals or citizen groups to prohibit the development or use of nuclear power through initiation of proceedings before the NRC, other agencies or courts. Such proceedings frequently involve attacks on the validity of NRC rules which, if successful, could provide a basis for challenges to permits and licenses granted by the NRC in the past.
The Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety (IDNS) has jurisdiction over certain activities in Illinois relating to nuclear power and safety and radioactive materials. Effective June 1987, the IDNS replaced the NRC as the regulator and licensor of certain source, by-product and special nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass, including such material contained in various measuring devices used at fossil-fuel power plants. The IDNS has promulgated regulations which are substantially similar to the corresponding federal regulations. The IDNS also has authority to license a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility and to regulate alternative methods for disposing of materials which contain only trace amounts of radioactivity.
Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA), the DOE is responsible for the selection and development of repositories for, and the permanent disposal of, spent nuclear fuel and high- level radioactive wastes. ComEd, as required by the NWPA, has signed a contract with the DOE to provide for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste beginning not later than January 1998. The DOE has stated, however, that the delivery schedule for spent nuclear fuel may be delayed, and ComEd expects that it will be significantly delayed. The costs incurred by the DOE for disposal activities will be financed by fees charged to owners and generators thereof. The primary responsibility for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive wastes will rest with the owners and generators thereof. ComEd has informed the Company that there is on-site storage capability at the Quad-Cities Station sufficient to permit such interim storage at least through 2009. Meeting spent nuclear fuel storage requirements beyond such time could require a new and separate storage facility, the cost of which has not been determined at this time. Industry activities are underway to utilize dry cask storage for high-level radioactive waste. This may provide an alternative for interim on-site storage of such waste. ComEd anticipates the possibility of serious difficulties in disposing of high-level radioactive waste.
The federal Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980 provides that states may enter into compacts to provide for regional disposal facilities for such waste, subject to approval by the U.S. Congress of each such compact. Under the 1985 amendments to that Act, a compact could restrict the use of a region's disposal facilities after January 1993 to wastes generated within the region. Illinois has entered into a compact with the State of Kentucky which has been approved by Congress. The IDNS had previously estimated that a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility would be operational in Illinois by March 1994 at the earliest. However, in 1992 an independent panel rejected the only site in Illinois then being considered for a low-level disposal facility. Illinois has since enacted legislation changing the procedures for siting a low-level waste disposal facility. Since the loss of access to the only low- level radioactive waste site (at Barnwell, South Carolina) available to the Quad-Cities Station, effective June 30, 1994, Quad-Cities Station has constructed a temporary storage facility for on-site storage of this material. Quad-Cities Station will continue to store all low-level radioactive waste on-site until an off-site facility is again available. ComEd anticipates the possibility of serious difficulties in disposing of low-level radioactive waste.
The continuing viability of commercial nuclear power is subject to resolution of the issues of spent nuclear fuel storage and disposal of radioactive waste.
Quad-Cities Station continues to be considered by the NRC as a plant that is safe to operate. However, the NRC has characterized the plant as "adversely trending" with respect to certain performance expectations. ComEd has undertaken measures to correct this performance trend.
Federal regulations provide that any operating facility may be required to cease operation if the NRC determines there are deficiencies in state, local or utility emergency preparedness plans relating to such facility and the deficiencies are not corrected within four months of such determination. Under the regulations, the NRC may permit operation of facilities, even though the emergency preparedness plans are deficient, upon an examination of other factors, including whether the deficiencies are significant for the facility in question, whether adequate interim compensatory actions have been or will be taken promptly and whether other compelling reasons exist for operation consistent with public health and safety. ComEd has advised the Company that emergency preparedness plans for the Quad-Cities Station have been approved by the NRC. ComEd has also advised the Company that state and local plans relating to the Quad- Cities Station have been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. ComEd continues to cooperate with the NRC and appropriate state and local agencies on emergency preparedness issues.
In June 1988, the NRC adopted final regulations with respect to the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Among other things the regulations address the planning and funding of the eventual decommissioning of nuclear power plants. In response to these regulations, the Company submitted a report to the NRC in July 1990 indicating that it will provide "reasonable assurance" that funds will be available to pay the costs of decommissioning its nuclear power plants by making monthly deposits to an external trust fund.
Inter-granular stress corrosion was discovered in 1983 in certain stainless steel piping at the Quad-Cities Station. Remedial actions intended to avoid the need to replace such piping continue and the replacement of such piping is not expected to be required. Accordingly, the Company's budgeted construction expenditures do not include the amounts which would be required to pay the Company's share of the cost of replacing such piping. If replacement of all such piping were required, the Company's share of the costs of such replacement is estimated to be approximately $55 million at current price levels. Replacement of such piping would result in an extended outage and require the purchase of replacement power.
The Company is a member of Nuclear Mutual Limited (NML), an industry mutual insurer established to provide property damage coverage for members' nuclear generating facilities. The Company would be subject to a maximum retrospective premium assessment of approximately $2 million based on its 25% share of the NML premium for Quad-Cities coverage in the event covered losses of NML members exceed the financial resources of the insurance company. A reserve has been established for this contingency. At December 31, 1994, NML had accumulated capital to a level that would make it unlikely the Company would have an exposure to a retrospective premium assessment in the event of a single incident to a member's facility.
The Company is also a member of Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), an industry mutual insurance company, and an insured of American Nuclear Insurers/Mutual Atomic Energy Liability Underwriters (ANI/MAELU). The related policy provisions provide that expenses for decontamination and the removal of debris shall be paid before any payment in respect of claims for property damage. A separate NEIL insurance policy covers the extra costs that would be incurred in obtaining replacement power during a prolonged covered outage of a member's nuclear plant. The Company is subject to retrospective premium assessments of approximately $4.1 million and $843,000 for its 25% share of the premium under the NEIL portion of the property damage coverage and the replacement power coverage, respectively. At December 31, 1994, NEIL had accumulated capital to a level that would make it unlikely the Company would have an exposure to a retrospective premium assessment in the event of a single incident to a member's facility.
A Master Worker Policy issued by ANI/MAELU provides coverage for worker tort claims filed for bodily injury caused by the nuclear energy hazard. The coverage applies to workers whose "nuclear related employment" began after January 1, 1988. Under this policy, the Company could be subject to a maximum retrospective premium assessment of $1.5 million.
Under the Price-Anderson federal legislation adopted in 1988, nuclear public liability coverage is supported by a mandatory industry-wide program under which owners of nuclear generating facilities could be assessed in the event of nuclear incidents. The Company would currently be subject to a maximum assessment of $39.6 million in the event of an incident, to be paid in increments of no more than $5 million per year per incident.
Environmental Regulation
The Company is subject to regulation regarding air, water, solid waste, hazardous and toxic materials and noise pollution by agencies of the federal government and of the States of Illinois and Iowa and may become subject to additional regulation as to these and other matters in the future. The Quad-Cities Station is subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC and IDNS as to atomic radiation.
State and federal environmental laws and regulations as currently in effect have, and future modifications may have, the effect of (i) increasing the lead time for the construction of new facilities, (ii) significantly increasing the total cost of new facilities, (iii) requiring modification of certain of the Company's existing facilities, (iv) increasing the risk of delay on construction projects, (v) increasing the Company's cost of waste disposal and (vi) possibly reducing the reliability of service provided by the Company and the amount of energy available from the Company's facilities. Any of such items could have a substantial impact on amounts required to be expended by the Company in the future.
Air Quality. Air quality regulations, promulgated by both the Iowa and Illinois pollution control boards in accordance with federal standards, impose restrictions on the emission of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other air pollutants and require permits from the respective state environmental protection agency for the operation of emission sources. Permits authorizing operation of the Company's fossil-fueled generating facilities subject to this requirement have been obtained and, when such permits are to expire, the Company has, in a timely manner, filed applications for renewal.
Clean Air Act legislation was signed into law in November 1990. Under the acid deposition control section of this legislation, national utility emissions of sulfur dioxide will be reduced in phased increments by 10 million tons from 1980 levels by the year 2000 and permanently capped at that level. National nitrogen oxide emissions will also be reduced in phased increments by 2 million tons from 1980 levels by the year 2000. In addition, continuous emission monitoring systems will be required at all affected facilities. This legislation also requires the government to study what controls, if any, should be imposed on utilities to control air toxics. The impact, if any, of the air toxics study on the Company cannot be determined at this time.
The Company has four jointly and one wholly owned coal-fired generating stations, which represent approximately 65 percent of the Company's electric generating capability. Each of these facilities will be impacted to varying degrees by the legislation.
Only one unit at the wholly owned generating station, representing approximately 10 percent of the Company's electric generating capability, is impacted by the emission reduction requirements effective in 1995. Under such requirements, beginning in 1995, this unit is required to hold allowances, issued by the federal government, in order to emit sulfur dioxide. The compliance strategy for this unit includes modifications to allow for burning low-sulfur coal, modifications for nitrogen oxide control and installation of a new emission monitoring system. The Company's remaining construction expenditures relative to this work are estimated to be $2.5 million.
The four generating stations not affected until 2000 already burn low-sulfur coal, so additional capital costs will not be incurred for sulfur dioxide emission reduction requirements. Beginning in 2000, these facilities will be required to hold allowances, issued by the federal government, in order to emit sulfur dioxide. Installation of low nitrogen oxide burners is required at one of these facilities and existing emission monitoring systems at all four facilities require upgrading. The Company's remaining construction cost for this work is estimated to be $1.4 million.
It is anticipated that any costs incurred by the Company to comply with the Clean Air Act legislation would be included in the cost of service on which the Company's rates for utility service are based.
Water Quality. Under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, as amended, the Company is required to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to discharge effluents (including thermal discharges) from its properties into various waterways. All NPDES permits are subject to renewal after specified time periods not to exceed five years. The Company has obtained all necessary NPDES permits for its generating stations and, when such permits are expected to expire, the Company will file applications for renewal.
Hazardous Materials and Waste Management. The Company is investigating five properties currently owned by the Company which were, at one time, sites of gas manufacturing plants. The purpose of these investigations is to determine whether waste materials are present, whether such materials constitute an environmental or health risk, and whether the Company has any responsibility for remedial action. One site is located in Illinois and four sites are located in Iowa. With regard to the Illinois property, the Company has signed a working agreement with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to perform further investigation to determine whether waste materials are present and, if so, whether such materials constitute an environmental or health risk. At December 31, 1994, an estimated liability of $3.3 million has been recorded for litigation, investigation and remediation related to the Illinois site. A regulatory asset has been recorded reflecting anticipated cost recovery through rates in Illinois. With regard to the Iowa sites, no agreement or consent order has been negotiated to perform any site investigations or remediation. Approximately $218,000 and $154,000 has been budgeted in 1995 and 1996, respectively, for site studies. The Company has recorded a $4 million estimated liability for the Iowa sites. A regulatory asset has been recorded based on the current regulatory treatment of comparable costs in Iowa. The estimated recorded liabilities for these properties are based upon preliminary data. Thus, actual costs could vary significantly from the estimates. In addition, insurance recoveries for some or all of the costs may be possible, but the liabilities recorded have not been reduced by any estimate of such recoveries. Although the timing of incurred costs, recoveries and the inclusion of provision for such costs in rates may affect the results of operations in individual periods, management believes that the outcome of these issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act, a federal law administered by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Company developed a comprehensive program for the use, handling, control and disposal of all polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) contained in electrical equipment. The future use of equipment containing PCB's will be minimized. Capacitors, transformers and other miscellaneous equipment are being purchased with a non-PCB dielectric fluid. The Company's exposure to PCB liability has been reduced through the orderly replacement of a number of such electrical devices with similar non-PCB electrical devices.
An unresolved issue is whether exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) may result in adverse health effects. EMFs are produced by all devices carrying or using electricity, including transmission and distribution lines and home appliances. The Company cannot predict the effect on construction costs of electric utility facilities if EMF regulations were to be adopted. Although the Company is not the subject of any suit involving EMFs, litigation has been filed in a number of jurisdictions against a variety of defendants alleging that EMFs had an adverse effect on health. If such litigation were successful, the impact on the Company and on the electric utility industry generally could be significant.
InterCoast Energy Company
InterCoast Energy Company (InterCoast) is a wholly owned non-regulated subsidiary of the Company. The non-regulated activities emphasize energy-related diversification, credit quality and liquidity.
InterCoast takes advantage of a core expertise in energy, participating in the energy industry through three non-regulated business groups: oil and gas (Medallion Production Company), energy services (InterCoast Energy Services Company) and financial investments (InterCoast Capital Company).
Medallion Production Company (Medallion) is an independent oil and gas company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Medallion's oil and gas assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $142.4 million and $121 million, respectively. In September 1993, Medallion acquired DKM Resources, Inc. The transaction totaled in excess of $50 million and more than doubled Medallion's oil and gas reserve base. Medallion's reserves totaled 32.1 million barrels of oil equivalent at December 31, 1994. Principal oil and gas production facilities are in Texas, Louisiana, California, Oklahoma and Colorado.
InterCoast Energy Services Company (Energy Services) consolidates passive energy investment activities with actively managed energy operations through development efforts and acquisitions to provide a full spectrum of energy services. Energy Services' assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $50.3 million and $48.8 million, respectively.
InterCoast Power Marketing Company (IPM), a subsidiary of Energy Services, was established in September 1993 to offer wholesale power brokering and marketing services to utilities and other power supply agencies. IPM brokers wholesale electric power nationwide. In August 1994, FERC conditionally accepted IPM's request for marketer status to enable it to directly buy and sell power. FERC's acceptance of IPM's request was conditioned upon Iowa-Illinois filing an open access, comparable services electric transmission tariff within 30 days of its order. In September 1994, FERC granted IPM an extension of time in which Iowa-Illinois or MidAmerican could file such tariffs, and on or about November 10, 1994, the tariffs were filed by MidAmerican. While IPM can continue to broker power, it will not be able to market power until the MidAmerican open access, comparable services transmission tariffs become effective.
Continental Power Exchange, Inc. (CPE), a subsidiary of Energy Services, was established in March 1994. CPE was formed to operate a computerized information system facilitating the real-time exchange of power in the electric industry. The services will be initially available to those who buy and sell bulk power in the next-hour bulk power market. In August 1994, the FERC issued an order disclaiming jurisdiction over CPE and its proposed National Interchange Agreement (NIA). Although the FERC disclaimed jurisdiction over CPE, it accepted for filing on January 9, 1995 the formula rates submitted in conjunction with the NIA by Central Illinois Public Service Company (CIPS), the utility sponsor of CPE. Other utilities may either apply to the FERC to use the same rate formulas as CIPS or transact business through CPE's system under rate schedules or tariffs already on file with the FERC.
InterCoast Gas Marketing Company, a subsidiary of Energy Services, owns a 50 percent partnership interest in Tenaska Marketing Ventures (TMV), a natural gas marketer located in Omaha, Nebraska. TMV provides a full range of natural gas related services to industrial and utility customers, with primary emphasis on owners of natural gas-fired electric generation.
Energy Services also has indirect investments in a variety of non-regulated energy production technologies including wind, solar, hydroelectric, and natural gas and coal-fueled generation. A subsidiary of Energy Services has an ownership interest in a 70 megawatt wind plant that operates in northern California and has ownership interests in four solar electric generating stations in southern California's Mojave Desert. In addition, IWG Co. 8, a subsidiary of Energy Services, has an equity interest in a hydroelectric operating and development company located in Annapolis, Maryland and is a participant in a closed-end fund created to invest in independent power projects. Energy Services also has equity investments in two developing companies which produce products and services for the electric and gas utility industries.
InterCoast Capital Company (InterCoast Capital), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, manages InterCoast's financial investments. Such investments consist primarily of investment grade marketable securities. InterCoast Capital also has investments in aircraft leases, special purpose funds and real estate. InterCoast Capital's total financial investments at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $297.1 million and $332.1 million, respectively.
InterCoast Capital's marketable securities portfolio, totaling $199.5 million and $233.4 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, focuses on energy securities consisting primarily of preferred stocks issued by utility companies. All such preferred stocks have been issued by companies having investment grade senior debt ratings by Moody's or Standard & Poor's. In addition to the preferred stocks, InterCoast Capital has investments in independently managed mutual funds.
InterCoast Capital holds InterCoast's equity participations in equipment leases for passenger and freight transport aircraft. Such investments totaled $57.3 million and $56.6 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. InterCoast Capital also had invested $2.8 million and $3.3 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, in safe harbor leases under the provisions of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, as amended. Such safe harbor lease transactions are considered leases for income tax purposes only.
InterCoast Capital has equity interests in special purpose funds that invest in venture capital and leveraged buyout opportunities totaling $34.8 million and $36 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
InterCoast Capital has interests in two real estate partnerships totaling $2.7 million and $2.8 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
