Westar KCPL seek revised merger plan after FCC rejection
Kansas City Power and Light and Westar Energy say they may submit a revised merger plan after the Kansas Corporation Commission unanimously denied their reconsideration of its April decision. The commission urged continued talks and a new application to address concerns over purchase price and capital structure, while noting community support for the two utilities. Katie McDonald of Great Plains Energy and KCPL stressed the possibility of a materially better deal if a new agreement is reached, with a new docket to be filed.
