Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced that some Ameren Illinois (Ameren) customers in central and southern Illinois will receive a credit on their upcoming power bills. The credits are the result of a $38 million settlement Raoul’s office reached with Dynegy Inc. (Dynegy), a subsidiary of Texas-based Vistra Corporation.
“Dynegy manipulated the market to overcharge electric customers by taking advantage of rules that have already been deemed unjust and unreasonable,” Raoul said. “I am pleased that FERC has finally approved this settlement and that consumers will receive this long-overdue relief.”
