(a)
In 2017, in connection with the decoupling provisions of the FEJA, Ameren Illinois changed the method it used to recognize its interim-period revenue. Ameren Illinois now recognizes revenue consistent with the timing of incurred electric distribution recoverable costs, and it recognizes revenue associated with the expected return on its rate base ratably over the year. As a result of this change in recognition of the interim period revenue for the IEIMA formula rate framework, as modified by the FEJA, Ameren Illinois incurred quarterly year-over-year increases to earnings in 2017 in comparison to 2016 for the first, second, and fourth quarters and a decrease to earnings in the third quarter. The change in interim period revenue recognition did not affect 2017 annual earnings.
