alternative retail |
| 11 |
| electric suppliers as defined in this
Article. Except to the |
| 12 |
| extent modified or supplemented by the
provisions of this |

| 14 |
| inapplicable, the other Articles of
the Public Utilities Act |

| pertaining to public utilities, public utility rates
and |
| 16 |
| services and the regulation thereof, are fully and equally
|
| 17 |
| applicable to the tariffed services electric utilities

| 21 |
| electric utility which elects to file
biennial rate proceedings |
| 22 |
| before the Commission in the years 1998, 2000 and
2002. An |
| 23 |
| electric utility electing this option shall do so by filing a |
| 24 |
| notice
of such election with the Commission within 60 days |
| 25 |
| after the effective date of
this amendatory Act of 1997, or its |
| 26 |
| right to make such election shall be
irrevocably waived. An |

|
| 28 |
| paragraph shall file its rate proceeding with the Commission no |
| 29 |
| later than

| electric utility's filing
shall comply with all requirements of |
| 31 |
| 83 Illinois Administrative Code Parts 255
and 285 as though the |
| 32 |
| electric utility were filing for an increase in its
rates, |
