RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Ameren (parent) and its subsidiaries have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, affiliate transactions in the normal course of business. These transactions primarily consist of power purchases and sales, services received or rendered, and borrowings and lendings.
Transactions between affiliates are reported as intercompany transactions on their respective financial statements but are eliminated in consolidation for Ameren’s financial statements. For a discussion of our material related party agreements, see Note 14 – Related Party Transactions under Part II, Item 8, of the Form 10-K and the money pool arrangements discussed in Note 3 – Short-term Debt and Liquidity of this report.
