Kansas Electric Power Cooperative

From WikiCover

Kansas Electric Power Cooperative generates and transmits power for its nineteen rural electric cooperative members, which collectively provide electricity to more than 300,000 rural homes and businesses in the eastern two-thirds of Kansas. The individual co-ops depend upon KEPCo to provide a long-term, reliable and economical energy supply.

On August 7, 2007, Westar Energy and KEPCo announced that KEPCo will continue to purchase a significant amount of its electricity requirements from Westar during the next 38 years.

KEPCo will purchase electricity based on Westar Energy's cost to produce the power and combine it with KEPCo's own resources to meet all of its members' electrical needs. Westar will also assist KEPCo in managing its resources, a process that is beneficial to both KEPCo and Westar. The contract would become effective once reviewed by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Rural Utilities Service.
