KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (GMO) has filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission to adjust the fuel adjustment charge (FAC) on the bills of its electric customers.

GMO has made two filings. In its first filing (Case No. ER-2019-0198), GMO proposes to adjust the FAC to reflect fuel and purchased power costs for the six month period of June 2018 through November 2018. The second case is GMO’s true-up filing (Case No. ER-2019-0199). According to the filings, a residential customer using 1,000 kWh a month will see the monthly FAC charge increase from approximately $2.40 a month to approximately $5.41 a month. The proposed change would take effect in March.

Applications to intervene and participate in these cases must be filed no later than January 21, 2019, with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0360, or by using the Commission’s Electronic Filing and Information System (EFIS) at www.psc.mo.gov.
