Kansas regulators have scheduled hearings on a proposal from Westar Energy Inc. for a 15 percent increase in electric rates.
The Kansas Corporation Commission has scheduled hearings for September 2-4 in Salina, Topeka and Wichita to take public testimony.
It has scheduled 12 days of hearings in Topeka starting October 29 for attorneys to question Westar executives, utility consultants and others.
The commission has until January 23 to rule on Westar's proposal.
The Topeka-based company estimates homeowners and apartment dwellers would see their monthly bills increase $10.
It says it needs additional revenues cover the costs of new power plants and wind farms and to help it recover from winter storms.
