Kansas Senate votes to limit KCC over KEPCo Wolf Creek bill
The Kansas Senate approved a measure to strip the State Corporation Commission of power to regulate rural electric cooperatives and municipal energy agencies. The 24-9 vote advances a KEPCo aimed sale of a 17 percent Wolf Creek stake, arguing current price ceilings hinder the $1.7 billion plant and could raise bills for KG&E KCPL and KEPCo customers.
