Hey @GovPritzker, unlike Nicor, @AmerenIllinois refused to go on record about the # of households facing shutoffs. So I napkin-mathed it. Notes in thread! #NoAmerenShutoffs
More than 80k households likely are 60+ days behind.
More than 264k households likely have past due bills.
More than 80k households likely are 60+ days behind.
More than 264k households likely have past due bills.
Note that the above measure definitions are different. Let& #39;s look at the lower # first:
Nicor has 152k households more than 60+ past due which is 6.9% of the 2.2M homes & businesses they serve. @AmerenIllinois serves 1.2M
Napkin math: 6.9% 1.2M is 82,909 https://patch.com/illinois/naperville/nicor-offers-bill-payment-assistance-customers-amid-pandemic">https://patch.com/illinois/...

Now let& #39;s look at the higher #, again noting that this is due to a difference in measure definitions:
Springfield has 11,402 households behind on CWLP bills. That& #39;s 22.9% of Springfield& #39;s 49,689 households.
Napkin math: 22% of 1.2M is 264k
I even rounded down #NoAmerenShutoffs

Now let& #39;s note the farce of @AmerenIllinois financial assistance. They serve over 1.2M households, yet offered financial assistance that would cover at most 2.2% of the households they serve.
Even by the low end estimates, this is less than 1/3 of the people who need help.

. @GovPritzker, you were silent the 1st, 2nd & 3rd time @AmerenIllinois sent out shutoff notices. Don& #39;t make it a 4th.

"Governor JB Pritzker has led by example and enacted several successful statewide policies that successfully
reduced the transmission rate. However, Illinois remains the 6th most impacted state by COVID-19 with more than 241,000 reported cases and over 8,300 deaths."

Anyway, adding source for the Springfield number.
