Comprehensive Energy Plan Progress

KCP&L’s Comprehensive Energy Plan has a number of short and long-term goals. We’re happy to report we are well on our way to meeting every one of them.

  • Providing the electricity we need to support our local economy in the future
  • Maintaining competitive electric rates
  • Continuing to deliver reliable service
  • Balancing the benefits of renewable energy with the stability of clean coal generation
  • Responding to rapidly evolving environmental laws and regulations with flexible and sustainable solutions

Customer Benefits

As KCP&L has met planned objectives, we have delivered a number of important benefits to our customers.

  • Renewable Energy
    KCP&L’s Spearville wind facility was completed on time and under budget and gives KCP&L access to a source of clean renewable energy.

  • Affordability and Energy Efficiency
    Providing customers more information and control over their energy use helps them save money and also helps the environment. In addition, our new Connections program was designed to help customers manage their electric bills even in a tough economy.

  • Environmentally-Responsible Power
    New environmental technology at our coal-fired power plants is helping KCP&L improve regional air quality and meet future federal emissions mandates.

  • Infrastructure Improvements
    Investing money in our power lines and infrastructure to maintain award-winning reliability; in other words, to help us prevent outages and/or get the lights back on faster when an outage occurs. KCP&L continues to be recognized as one of the Midwest’s leading utilities in terms of reliability.

  • New generation
    A new clean-burning coal power plant to ensure that our region has a sufficient supply of affordable electricity for years to come.

 

In 2004, the CEP was developed with an unprecedented level of community input. Since then, we have worked hard to implement the plan and overcome a number of challenges, including the worst recession in years and rising costs for many of the materials we needed to complete the plan. Today, we are proud of what we achieved in partnership with our customers and our communities.
