Great Plains Energy Incorporated (Great Plains Energy) and Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L) (Registrants) are separately filing this combined Current Report on Form 8-K (Report). Information contained herein relating to an individual Registrant is furnished by such registrant on its own behalf. Each Registrant makes representations only as to information relating to itself.

Item 8.01
Other Events

On February 1, 2006, KCP&L filed a rate increase request with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), requesting an additional $42.3 million in annual revenues. KCP&L reached a negotiated settlement of its request with certain parties to the rate proceedings, and filed on September 29, 2006, a Stipulation and Agreement (Agreement) containing the settlement with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC). The filing of the Agreement was reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrants on October 2, 2006. On December 4, 2006, the KCC issued its order (Order) approving the Agreement in its entirety. Any party may file a petition for reconsideration within 15 days of service of the order.

The Order approves a $29 million increase in annual revenues effective January 1, 2007, with $4 million of that amount resulting from additional depreciation to help maintain cash flow levels. The Order also approves various accounting and other matters, including but not limited to: (i) establishing for regulatory purposes annual pension cost for the period beginning January 1, 2007, of approximately $42.6 million ($19.6 million on a Kansas jurisdictional basis) through the creation of a regulatory asset or liability, as appropriate; (ii) establishing, effective January 1, 2006, a regulatory asset or liability as appropriate for costs arising from defined benefit plan settlements and curtailments which will be amortized over a five-year period beginning with the effective date of rates approved in KCP&L’s next rate case; (iii) setting at 8.5% the equity rate for the equity component of the allowance for funds used during construction rate calculation for Iatan 2; and (iv) the filing by KCP&L of an energy cost adjustment (ECA) clause in its next rate case, to be filed no later than March 1, 2007.
