Dear fellow KCPL employee:

unite three proven and established regional electric utilities -
KCPL, KGE and KPL - to create a larger electric utility

area, enhancing our valuable brand identity and continuing our
competitive marketing strategy.
Please read this brochure carefully because it answers
