Westar

Kansas regulators are meeting today (MON) to review a proposed compromise plan that would lead to higher electricity rates for Westar Energy customers.

The compromise drops the proposed rate increase from $150 million to $78 million.

Westar Energy, the state's largest utility, has reached a deal with regulators and a consumer advocacy group to raise electric rates. But the increase is about half as much as the company had initially requested.

Westar is proposing increased rates for all customers and additional fees for customers who have solar panels.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that costs must be taken into account when formulating regulations for the air emissions from power plants.
