capacity and energy customer, tendered for filing a Complaint against
its supplier Central Illinois Public Service Company (CIPS) and CIPS'

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.
