ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Officers

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Great Plains Energy,
which serves as the Compensation Committee for KCP&L, is composed
of three independent directors.  The Compensation Committee
establishes and administers the policies and plans that govern
compensation for the executive officers.  The Compensation
Committee's recommendations are subject to approval by non-employee
members of the Board.  The Compensation Committee has not adopted a
policy concerning the Internal Revenue Service's rules on the
deductibility of compensation in excess of $1,000,000.

The executive compensation for executive officers in 2001 was
designed to attract and keep talented, key executives critical to
the Company's long-term success in a deregulated market and to
support a performance-oriented environment.  Base salaries in 2001
were established on the basis of:

   - job responsibilities and complexity;
   - individual performance under established guidelines; and
   - competitiveness for comparable positions in
     companies of similar size within the industry.

The Compensation Committee also compared total executive
compensation packages with national compensation surveys including
data prepared for the Edison Electric Institute ("EEI") by
Towers Perrin.

The Company's Long- and Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the
"Incentive Plan") for executive officers based on Economic Value
Added (EVA (registered trademark))(1) was designed to align the
interests of management with shareholders.  If shareholder value
is increased by the amount of the annual EVA(registered trademark)
goal, bonuses are paid at a target level that varies to reflect a
participant's level of responsibility.  A minimum level of
EVA(registered trademark) improvement has to be achieved before
any bonus is awarded. EVA(registered trademark) improvement above
the annual goal results in payouts above the target level.  In
2001, the EVA(registered trademark) goal was below the minimum
level, and as a result no bonuses were paid.

Chief Executive Officer

     In determining the base salary for Bernard J. Beaudoin, the
Chief Executive Officer in 2001, the Compensation Committee
considered:

  -  financial performance of the Company;
  -  cost and quality of services provided;
  -  leadership in enhancing the long-term value of the Company; and
  -  relevant salary data including information supplied by the EEI.

Eligibility for supplemental retirement benefits is limited to
officers selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board; all
the named executive officers are participants. The annual target
retirement benefit payable at the normal retirement date is equal
to 2% of highest average earnings, as defined, for each year of
credited service up to 30 (maximum of 60% of highest average
earnings).  The actual retirement benefit paid equals the target
retirement benefit less retirement benefits payable under the
management pension plan.  A liability accrues each year to cover
the estimated cost of future supplemental benefits.

The Internal Revenue Code imposes certain limitations on pensions
that may be paid under tax qualified pension plans.  In addition to
the supplemental retirement benefits, the amount by which pension
benefits exceed the limitations will be paid outside the qualified
plan and accounted for by Great Plains Energy as an operating
expense.

Great Plains Energy Severance Agreements

The Company has severance agreements ("Great Plains Energy
Severance Agreements") with certain of its senior executive
officers, including the named executives, to ensure their continued
service and dedication to the Company and their objectivity in
considering on behalf of the Company any transaction which would
change the control of Great Plains Energy.  Under the Great Plains
Energy Severance Agreements, a senior executive officer would be
entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment and certain insurance
benefits during the three-year period after a Change in Control,
(or, if later, the three-year period following the consummation of
a transaction approved by Great Plains Energy's Shareholders
constituting a Change in Control) if the officer's employment was
terminated by:

  -  the Company other than for cause or upon death or
     disability;
  -  the senior executive officer for "Good Reason" (as
     defined in the Great Plains Energy Severance Agreements);
     and
  -  the senior executive officer for any reason during a
     30-day period commencing one year after the Change in
     Control or, if later, commencing one year following
     consummation of a transaction approved by Great Plains
     Energy's shareholders constituting a change in control (a
     "Qualifying Termination").

     A Change in Control is defined as:

  -  an acquisition by a person or group of 20% or more
     of the Great Plains Energy common stock (other than an
     acquisition from or by Great Plains Energy or by a Great
     Plains Energy benefit plan);
  -  a change in a majority of the Board; and

  -  approval by the shareholders of a reorganization,
     merger or consolidation (unless shareholders receive 60%
     or more of the stock of the surviving Company) or a
     liquidation, dissolution or sale of substantially all of
     Great Plains Energy's assets.

Upon a Qualifying Termination, Great Plains Energy must make a lump-
sum cash payment to the senior executive officer of:

  -  the officer's base salary through the date of
     termination;
  -  a pro-rated bonus based upon the average of the
     bonuses paid to the officer for the last five fiscal
     years;
  -  any accrued vacation pay;
  -  two or three times the officer's highest base salary
     during the prior 12 months;
  -  two or three times the average of the bonuses paid
     to the officer for the last five fiscal years;
  -  the actuarial equivalent of the excess of the
     officer's accrued pension benefits including supplemental
     retirement benefits computed without reduction for early
     retirement and including two or three additional years of
     benefit accrual service, over the officer's vested
     accrued pension benefits; and
  -  the value of any unvested contributions for the
     benefit of the officer under the Great Plains Energy
     Employee Savings Plus Plan.

In addition, Great Plains Energy must offer health, disability and
life insurance plan coverage to the officer and his dependents on
the same terms and conditions that existed immediately prior to the
Qualifying Termination for two or three years, or, if earlier,
until the senior executive officer is covered by equivalent plan
benefits.  Great Plains Energy must make certain "gross-up"
payments regarding tax obligations relating to payments under the
Great Plains Energy Severance Agreements as well as provide
reimbursement of certain expenses relating to possible disputes
that might arise.

Payments and other benefits under the Great Plains Energy Severance
Agreements are in addition to balances due under the Great Plains
Energy Long- and Short-Term Incentive Plan.  Upon a Change in
Control (as defined in the Great Plains Energy Long-Term Incentive
Plan), all stock options granted in tandem with limited stock
appreciation rights will be automatically exercised.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
          MANAGEMENT

Great Plains Energy is the sole shareholder of KCP&L.
