Westar Energy seeks rate hike with planned hearings
State regulators open two public hearings on Westar Energy’s 91 million rate increase. If approved by the Kansas Corporation Commission, residential bills would rise about 6.50 dollars monthly, equal to 5.85 percent, while returns to shareholders would reach 10.6 percent.
