Gas hearings recessed in Kansas natural gas contracts case
Two weeks of hearings before the Kansas Corporation Commission wrap up with a recess set for Sept 7 to allow final witnesses and closing arguments. The case centers on five Western Resources and Kansas Pipeline Partnership contracts to deliver up to one million cubic feet daily to Johnson and Wyandotte counties and Ottawa, Paola, and Osawatomie, with Williams Natural Gas of Tulsa arguing for a level playing field to bid against KPP. The 20 year deals lack market‑to‑market clauses and opponents warn they raise costs to consumers by stifling competition.
