Utilities seek interim rate hike in Kansas Legislature
The Kansas House committee on energy and utilities heard a bill from Megas utilities to permit interim rate charging without prior approval. CURB and AARP Kansas urged rejection saying it bypasses law and hurts consumers. Utilities argue delays block investment. The budget note hints at possible revenue gains if refunds are unclaimed. Critics warn of unjust, unreasonably set rates and prefer annual, budgeted planning.
