The charge would apply to the maximum 60 minute load during the 2 to 7 pm weekday window, with $9.45 per kilowatt in June to September and $3.15 otherwise. Despite expected savings, some solar customers would pay more under the new structure. The company also seeks a rate cut in September and a merger with Great Plains Energy.
