Pomona operates its own city electrical utility but buys all power from Kansas City Power and Light due to lacking its own generators. Ottawa sometimes produces power locally to cut peak usage costs. A new metering system is planned to better track consumption. Crews monitor the system and perform winter maintenance to avoid heat related problems. Tree trimming near lines occurs in winter. Rural areas and other county towns are served by KCP&L Westar Energy and Lyon Coffey Rural Electric Cooperative.
Ottawa will generate most power during daily peak hours from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and may use all units to meet city needs. It also buys power under contract, notably from Kansas City Power and Light, which can curtail purchases during high demand. Curtailed supply was lifted for today but is expected to return next week, officials said. Residents are urged to conserve energy to reduce bills and help the grid.
