Notice of Public Hearing - KCP&L Rate Increase Request

75106634

KCP&L has filed a request with the Commission to update its rates for electric service. Originally, KCP&L requested to increase Kansas retail rates by about $26.2 million, which excludes the property tax rebasing.

The requested increase including the property tax rebasing would be $32.9 million. As a result of the merger with Westar Energy, KCP&L’s request has been reduced by about $10.3 million. If granted as originally requested before the merger reduction of $10.3 million, rates will increase by approximately 4.5% around Dec. 27, 2018. Under KCP&L’s original proposal, the average residential customer using 1,366 kWh in summer months and 833 kWh in winter months will see an increase of about $7.29 excluding property tax rebasing, or $9.19 including property tax rebasing. Residential customers who use electricity to heat their homes may experience a higher average monthly increase during winter months.

The request cites several reasons for the rate increase request. First, the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act decreases KCP&L’s revenue requirement. Second, rate adjustments are necessary to cover rising costs of providing electric service, including:

F I B E R M E A N S I NS A N E LY FA S T INTERNET AND CRYSTAL CLEAR T V

• A new customer information system replaced KCP&L’s old billing system, which was no longer supported by certain vendors and didn’t provide functionality needed to efficiently serve customers.

• Plant and infrastructure investments that support safe, reliable service.

• Depreciation expense that results from a Commission-mandated study of depreciation rates to ensure reasonable levels consistent with fully and appropriately allocating the recovery of KCP&L’s investments made to serve customers.

A complete copy of KCP&L’s application and supporting testimony is available on the Commission’s website at www.kcc.ks.gov. Search for Docket No. 18-KCPE-480-RTS.

Regulatory Responsibility The Commission regulates public utilities. Oversight primarily pertains to rates and terms of service. To ensure that regulated utility customers are provided sufficient and efficient service at just and reasonable rates, utilities may not change rates without Commission approval.
