Westar tests prepaid electric service in pilot phase
Westar Energy moves toward a prepaid option for about 1000 customers in Kansas awaiting KCC approval by May 29. Initial participants include up to 250 overdue accounts and 750 others seeking budget control. The plan uses advanced digital meters to switch service remotely with no deposits or disconnect charges, while CURB raises concerns about winter shutoffs and potential coercion.
