KCC Delay Looms Over KPL Gas Surcharge Bid
Kansas Corporation Commission chair hints at postponing a decision on Kansas Power and Light Co. plan to charge an extra 19 cents per 1000 cubic feet for gas. The move ties to a Mesa Petroleum escalator dispute and a new state bill capping intrastate gas price hikes, raising questions about future ratepayer liability and who would pay if Mesa’s price rises are upheld. Both issues could affect KPL customers in central Kansas and may be used to shield KPL from a costly court ruling.
