[The following is a paid advertisement.]

Overriding SB 1652 would result in a $3.2 billion investment in Illinois’ economy that would improve reliability, create 2,450 jobs statewide and help make Illinois more competitive with other states.

Statewide Benefits

· Makes over $3.2 billion of electric infrastructure investments
· Creates 2,450 jobs during the peak period of the program
· Reduces and shortens electric outages
· Results in customer savings due to energy efficiencies with smart meters, time of use pricing, and improved voltage control
· Expands opportunities for renewable energy and efficiency measures
· Mandates strict performance standards; consumer protections

Labor, environmental and business groups have all joined to support grid modernization, including:

· Illinois AFL-CIO
· Sierra Club
· IBEW, Laborers and Pipefitters locals
· Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce
· Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce
· Illinois Business Roundtable
· Natural Resources Defense Counsel

Customer savings will more than offset rate increases, which for a typical Ameren Illinois residential customer is an increase of, on average, about $3.40 per year.
