Power switch saves Garden City's electric rates
Garden City's switch to the Kansas Municipal Energy Agency in 2014 yielded about 4 million in wholesale power savings and could lower rates for residents. City officials say Wheatland Electric Cooperative faced higher costs, with 2013 payments totaling 95.29 million and first-year EMEA costs around 182 million. Officials expect rate stability through 2016 with further savings from the Day Ahead integrated market.
