Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission), 18 CFR 385.206 and 207, Central Illinois Light Company 
(CILCO), a local distribution company and wholesale transmission, 
capacity and energy customer, tendered for filing a Complaint against 
its supplier Central Illinois Public Service Company (CIPS) and CIPS' 
affiliates and agents, Union Electric Company (UE) and Ameren Services 
Company (Ameren Services). CILCO stated that this is an action to 
enforce compliance with Interconnection Agreements and Service 
Agreements that are on file with the Commission and to remedy CIPS' 
past and ongoing breaches of these Agreements. CILCO stated that in 
knowing and purposeful violation of its contracts with CILCO and of its 
filed rates with this Commission, CIPS has failed to provide for, and 
indeed has resold for the benefit of its affiliated companies, energy 
from capacity that it had contracted to reserve for CILCO. CILCO also 
stated that CIPS and its affiliates UE and Ameren have (1) violated the 
filed rate doctrine; (2) failed to make capacity available to the 
customer who pays for and relies on it; (3) sold such capacity twice 
without customer consent or customer release of the capacity; (4) 
breached contracts on which the successful operation of a deregulated 
market depends; (5) contravened the ``Golden Rule'' by favoring an 
affiliate's use of energy ahead of customers with contractual rights to 
the energy; and (6) mocked the statutory filing requirements. CILCO has 
requested relief from the Commission.
    Comment date: January 18, 1999, in accordance with Standard
