Westar Energy

Fuel Charge - South Rates


The Fuel Charge encompasses the fuel costs to produce electricity and the Off-system Sales Adjustment, which credits profits from our wholesale sales to our retail customers. Wholesale sales are transactions where Westar sells energy to other wholesale entities such as neighboring utilities, municipalities and power marketers.


Westar Energy submits an estimate of fuel costs to produce electricity with the Kansas Corporation Commission. These costs are reflected on customers' bills.


Annually, we will compare the estimates with the actual costs and make an adjustment to ensure customers are paying only the actual fuel costs. This adjustment will be paid or credited over the next 12 months.
