Livable Communities

When Westar Energy and Kansas City Power and Light (KCP&L) asked for rate increases earlier this year, AARP Kansas pushed back on behalf of the nearly one million Kansas customers who would be impacted by higher electricity bills. AARP fought to protect their hard-earned money so they could afford to keep the lights on.

Residential customers with average monthly consumption of 900 kilowatt hours of electricity would have an average monthly increase of $13.
