Utility seeks 19 percent KPL rate hike in Kansas
Western Resources requests a 151 million dollar electric rate increase before the Kansas Corporation Commission. KPL customers in Lawrence and northern Kansas would face an average 19 percent rise, with a 10 percent rise earmarked for the KGB division serving central and southeastern Kansas.
