On October 23, 2013, the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) issued an order approving the depreciation study filed by Northern Illinois Gas Company (Nicor Gas), a wholly owned subsidiary of AGL Resources Inc. The ICC ruling approved, among other things, Nicor Gas’ proposed composite depreciation rate of 3.07%, which was a reduction of approximately 100 basis points from Nicor Gas’ prior composite depreciation rate of 4.10%. The new depreciation rates are effective as of August 30, 2013, which was the date the depreciation study was filed with the ICC.
