http://www.renewableaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=50232Westar Energy, Inc. announced that it has reached tentative agreements with developers who will build three wind farms in Kansas totaling approximately 300 megawatts (MW). All are expected to be producing energy by the end of next year.
The agreements represent more than a half-billion dollar commitment to wind power in the state and, according to the company, will make Westar's wind energy program the largest in Kansas. In addition, Westar has indicated it will look to make an additional 200 MW available by the end of 2010.
Westar also filed with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) a request for predetermination of the ratemaking principles associated with these investments. The agreements with the developers are contingent upon receiving satisfactory regulatory pre-approval. The company has asked the KCC to issue its order by Dec. 31, 2007.
