The FERC sets wholesale rates for electricity only. This case would recommend establishing appropriate rates for retail electric service to KPL and KGE customers as well as provide for the appropriate notice and public process. Finally, a settlement conference has been scheduled by FERC for September 6, 2000. It is assumed by the Chief Judge hearing the case that this will be the last settlement conference. Enclosed is a letter from Topeka Mayor Joan Wagnon discussing the order calling all parties to the FERC settlement conference.
All parties involved with the case are to be present to negotiate and accept matters agreed upon.
Mayor Wagnon will be present at this conference representing KPL customer interests.
