This combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is being filed by Great Plains Energy Incorporated (Great Plains Energy) and Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L).  KCP&L is a wholly owned subsidiary of Great Plains Energy and represents a significant portion of its assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and operations.  Thus, all information contained in this report relates to, and is filed by, Great Plains Energy.  Information that is specifically identified in this report as relating solely to Great Plains Energy, such as its financial statements and all information relating to Great Plains Energy’s other operations, businesses and subsidiaries, including KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (GMO), does not relate to, and is not filed by, KCP&L.  KCP&L makes no representation as to that information.  Neither Great Plains Energy nor its other subsidiaries have any obligation in respect of KCP&L’s debt securities and holders of such securities should not consider Great Plains Energy’s or its other subsidiaries’ financial resources or results of operations in making a decision with respect to KCP&L’s debt securities.  Similarly, KCP&L has no obligation in respect of securities of Great Plains Energy or its other subsidiaries.

This report should be read in its entirety.  No one section of the report deals with all aspects of the subject matter.  It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the management’s discussion and analysis included in the 2010 Form 10-K for each of Great Plains Energy and KCP&L.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Statements made in this report that are not based on historical facts are forward-looking, may involve risks and uncertainties, and are intended to be as of the date when made.  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the outcome of regulatory proceedings, cost estimates of capital projects and other matters affecting future operations.  In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L are providing a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the provided forward-looking information.  These important factors include: future economic conditions in regional, national and international markets and their effects on sales, prices and costs, including but not limited to possible further deterioration in economic conditions and the timing and extent of economic recovery; prices and availability of electricity in regional and national wholesale markets; market perception of the energy industry, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L; changes in business strategy, operations or development plans; effects of current or proposed state and federal legislative and regulatory actions or developments, including, but not limited to, deregulation, re-regulation and restructuring of the electric utility industry; decisions of regulators regarding rates the Companies can charge for electricity; adverse changes in applicable laws, regulations, rules, principles or practices governing tax, accounting and environmental matters including, but not limited to, air and water quality; financial market conditions and performance including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates and credit spreads and in availability and cost of capital and the effects on nuclear decommissioning trust and pension plan assets and costs; impairments of long-lived assets or goodwill; credit ratings; inflation rates; effectiveness of risk management policies and procedures and the ability of counterparties to satisfy their contractual commitments; impact of terrorist acts; ability to carry out marketing and sales plans; weather conditions including, but not limited to, weather-related damage and their effects on sales, prices and costs; cost, availability, quality and deliverability of fuel; the inherent uncertainties in estimating the effects of weather, economic conditions and other factors on customer consumption and financial results; ability to achieve generation goals and the occurrence and duration of planned and unplanned generation outages; delays in the anticipated in-service dates and cost increases of generation, transmission, distribution or other projects; the inherent risks associated with the ownership and operation of a nuclear facility including, but not limited to, environmental, health, safety, regulatory and financial risks; workforce risks, including, but not limited to, increased costs of retirement, health care and other benefits; and other risks and uncertainties.
 
This list of factors is not all-inclusive because it is not possible to predict all factors.  Part II Item 1A Risk Factors included in this report, together with the risk factors included in the 2010 Form 10-K for each of Great Plains Energy and KCP&L under Part I Item 1A, should be carefully read for further understanding of potential risks for each of Great Plains Energy and KCP&L.  Other sections of this report and other periodic reports filed by each of Great Plains Energy and KCP&L with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should also be read for more information regarding risk factors.  Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement.  Great Plains Energy and KCP&L undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share Calculation
To determine basic EPS, preferred stock dividend requirements and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest are deducted from net income before dividing by the average number of common shares outstanding.  The effect of dilutive securities, calculated using the treasury stock method, assumes the issuance of common shares applicable to performance shares, restricted stock, stock options and Equity Units.

Significant Non-Cash Items
On January 1, 2010, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L adopted new accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets, which resulted in the recognition of $95.0 million of accounts receivable pledged as collateral and a corresponding short-term collateralized note payable on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s balance sheets.  As a result, cash flows from operating activities were reduced by $95.0 million and cash flows from financing activities were raised by $95.0 million with no impact to the net change in cash year to date June 30, 2010.

Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s other receivables at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, consisted primarily of receivables from partners in jointly owned electric utility plants and wholesale sales receivables.

Sale of Accounts Receivable – KCP&L
KCP&L sells all of its retail electric accounts receivable to its wholly owned subsidiary, Receivables Company, which in turn sells an undivided percentage ownership interest in the accounts receivable to Victory Receivables Corporation, an independent outside investor.  Receivables Company’s sale of the undivided percentage ownership interest in accounts receivable to Victory Receivables Corporation is accounted for as a secured borrowing with $95.0 million of accounts receivables pledged as collateral and a corresponding short-term collateralized note payable recognized on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s balance sheets at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.
 
KCP&L sells its receivables at a fixed price based upon the expected cost of funds and charge-offs.  These costs comprise KCP&L’s loss on the sale of accounts receivable.  KCP&L services the receivables and receives an annual servicing fee of 1.5% of the outstanding principal amount of the receivables sold to Receivables Company.  KCP&L does not recognize a servicing asset or liability because management determined the collection agent fee earned by KCP&L approximates market value.  The agreement expires in October 2011 and is expected to be renewed.

NUCLEAR PLANT
 
KCP&L owns 47% of Wolf Creek Generating Station (Wolf Creek), its only nuclear generating unit.  Wolf Creek is located in Coffey County, Kansas, just northeast of Burlington, Kansas.  Wolf Creek’s operating license expires in 2045.  Wolf Creek is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), with respect to licensing, operations and safety-related requirements. Wolf Creek had been on a status that called for heightened NRC oversight.  In May 2011, the NRC moved Wolf Creek back to the lowest level of NRC oversight.
 
In March 2011, the NRC established a task force to conduct a 90-day review and a longer-term review of U.S. nuclear power plant safety in the aftermath of a March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami that eventually resulted in station blackout and a level 7 event on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (the highest level event on the scale) at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.  On July 12, 2011, the task force issued an extensive report on the ramifications of the Fukushima earthquake/tsunami for nuclear power plant regulation in the U.S.  The report confirms the safety of nuclear plants in the U.S., but also contains several recommendations to enhance nuclear plant safety and preparedness to manage severe events.  The NRC will begin systematically reviewing the report and recommendations through their regulatory process.  The timing and effects of any NRC action cannot be determined at this time.

Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste
Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel.  KCP&L pays the DOE a quarterly fee of one-tenth of a cent for each kWh of net nuclear generation delivered and sold for the future disposal of spent nuclear fuel.  These disposal costs are charged to fuel expense.  In March 2010, the DOE filed a motion to withdraw its application to the NRC to construct a national repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, which would bring the licensing process to an end.  An NRC board denied the DOE’s motion to withdraw its application in June 2010, and the DOE appealed that decision to the full NRC in July 2010.  The NRC has not yet decided that appeal.  Additional lawsuits had been filed questioning the DOE’s legal authority to withdraw its license application but on July 1, 2011, a federal appellate court dismissed the lawsuits.  Wolf Creek has an on-site storage facility designed to hold all spent fuel generated at the plant through 2025, and believes it will be able to expand on-site storage as needed past 2025.  Management cannot predict when, or if, an alternative disposal site will be available to receive Wolf Creek’s spent nuclear fuel and will continue to monitor this activity.  See Note 11 for a related legal proceeding.
 
23
 
 
Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Wolf Creek disposes of most of its low-level radioactive waste (Class A waste) at an existing third-party repository in Utah.  Management expects that the site located in Utah will remain available to Wolf Creek for disposal of its Class A waste.  Wolf Creek has contracted with a waste processor that will process, take title and store in another state most of the remainder of Wolf Creek’s low-level radioactive waste (Classes B and C waste, which is higher in radioactivity but much lower in volume).  Should on-site waste storage be needed in the future, Wolf Creek has current storage capacity on site for about four years’ generation of Classes B and C waste and believes it will be able to expand that storage capacity as needed if it becomes necessary to do so.

REGULATORY MATTERS
 
KCP&L Kansas Rate Case Proceedings
In November 2010, KCC issued an order, effective December 1, 2010, for KCP&L, authorizing an increase in annual revenues of $21.8 million, a return on equity of 10.0%, an equity ratio of approximately 49.7% and a Kansas jurisdictional rate base of $1.781 billion.  The annual revenue increase was subsequently adjusted by KCC in a January 2011 reconsideration order to $22.0 million.  In February 2011, KCC issued an order granting KCP&L and another party to the case their respective petitions for reconsideration regarding rate case expenses and therefore, approximately $1.4 million of the annual revenue increase is considered as interim subject to refund or true-up pending the outcome of the reconsideration proceedings regarding rate case expenses.  A hearing is scheduled for September 2011 with a decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The rates authorized by KCC are effective unless and until modified by KCC or stayed by a court.
 
KCP&L Missouri Rate Case Proceedings
On June 4, 2010, KCP&L filed a request with the MPSC to increase its Missouri retail electric annual revenues by $92.1 million.  The request was ultimately adjusted during the rate case proceedings by KCP&L to $66.5 million as the net result of lower fuel and purchased power costs and other updates to the case.  KCP&L’s initial and updated requests reflected, among other things, a proposed annual offset to its revenue requirement for the Missouri jurisdictional portion of KCP&L’s annual non-firm wholesale electric sales margin (wholesale margin offset); the final update included a proposed wholesale margin offset of approximately $29.4 million.  On April 12, 2011, the MPSC issued its order and on April 14, 2011, the MPSC Staff filed a report which quantified the authorized revenue increase as approximately $34.8 million on an annual basis, which reflects a wholesale margin offset of approximately $45.9 million and authorizes a return on equity of 10.0%, an equity ratio of approximately 46.3% and a Missouri jurisdictional rate base of approximately $2.0 billion.  If the actual Missouri jurisdiction wholesale margin amount exceeds the $45.9 million level reflected in the MPSC order, the difference will be recorded as a regulatory liability and will be returned, with interest, to KCP&L Missouri customers in a future rate case.  The MPSC order provides the opportunity for KCP&L to retain a larger amount of non-firm wholesale electric sales margin than KCP&L proposed; however, there are no assurances that KCP&L will achieve the $45.9 million wholesale margin offset amount and there are no means for KCP&L to recover any shortfall through its retail rates.  The rates established by the MPSC order took effect on May 4, 2011.
 
As a result of disallowances in the MPSC order, KCP&L recognized losses of $1.5 million for construction costs related to Iatan No. 2 and the Iatan No. 1 environmental project year to date June 30, 2011.  KCP&L also recorded a $2.4 million loss for other disallowed costs in the MPSC order.
 
In a related order, the MPSC required KCP&L and GMO to apply to the Internal Revenue Service to reallocate approximately $26.5 million of Iatan No. 2 qualifying advance coal project tax credits from KCP&L to GMO, which they have done and are awaiting a decision.  If KCP&L and GMO are unsuccessful, the MPSC has indicated that it intends for GMO’s customers to be compensated for the tax credits and that it will consider the ratemaking treatment of the tax credits in a future rate case.  Certain ratemaking treatments that may be pursued by the MPSC could trigger the loss or repayment to the Internal Revenue Service of a portion of unamortized deferred investment tax credits.  At June 30, 2011, KCP&L and GMO had $128.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred investment tax credits.
 
GMO Missouri Rate Case Proceedings
On June 4, 2010, GMO filed requests with the MPSC to increase its Missouri retail electric annual revenues by $75.8 million for its Missouri Public Service division, and $22.1 million for its St. Joseph Light & Power (L&P) division.  GMO subsequently adjusted its requests during the rate case proceedings to $65.9 million and $23.2 million, respectively, as the net result of updates to the cases.  On May 4, 2011, the MPSC issued its order and on May 10, 2011, the MPSC Staff filed a report which quantified the authorized revenue increases on an annual basis as $30.1 million for GMO’s Missouri Public Service division and $29.3 million for GMO’s L&P division.  The MPSC order authorized a return on equity of 10.0%, an equity ratio of approximately 46.6% and a Missouri
 
25
 
 
jurisdictional rate base of $1.76 billion.  In response to applications for clarification and rehearing of the MPSC order, the MPSC, on May 27, 2011, issued an order of clarification and modification.  The modified MPSC order revised the authorized annual revenue increase to approximately $35.7 million for GMO’s Missouri Public Service division and approximately $29.8 million for GMO’s L&P division, resulting primarily from a clarification of the amount of fuel costs shifted from GMO’s fuel adjustment clause to base rates.  However, because the MPSC authorized an annual revenue increase that was greater than the amount originally requested by GMO and communicated to GMO’s customers, the modified MPSC order deferred approximately $7.7 million of the L&P division increase, which is the amount over GMO’s requested $22.1 million increase for that division, and will phase in the deferred revenue amount in equal parts over a two-year period, plus carrying costs.

As a result of disallowances in the MPSC order, GMO recognized losses of $0.8 million for construction costs related to Iatan No. 2 and the Iatan No. 1 environmental project year to date June 30, 2011.  GMO also recorded a $1.5 million loss for other disallowed costs in the MPSC order.
 
Additionally, with respect to GMO’s Missouri Public Service division, the MPSC concluded that GMO’s decision to add Crossroads Energy Center (Crossroads) to its generation asset resources was prudent and reasonable; however, the order disallowed from rate base approximately $50 million for Crossroads, disallowed $4.9 million in associated annual transmission expense and offset rate base by approximately $15 million to reflect accumulated deferred taxes associated with Crossroads.  GMO’s request included a net plant amount of approximately $104 million for Crossroads.  In assessing the impact of the Crossroads disallowances, management considered that KCP&L’s and GMO’s generation asset resources include a diverse fuel mix consisting primarily of coal and nuclear fuel providing base load generation with natural gas facilities such as Crossroads to provide critical peaking and capacity support.  This combined collection of generating assets meets KCP&L’s and GMO’s service obligations and produces joint cash flows based on system-wide average costs.  Great Plains Energy conducted an analysis to assess the recoverability of the combined collection of generation asset resources and determined that no potential impairment exists.
 
The rates established by the modified MPSC order took effect on June 25, 2011.  On June 24, 2011, GMO filed its appeal of the MPSC order with the Cole County, Missouri, Circuit Court regarding the Crossroads issues discussed above.  Other parties to the case have also filed appeals of the MPSC order.  However, the rates authorized by the modified MPSC order will be effective unless and until modified by the MPSC or stayed by a court.
 
SPP and NERC Inquiries
The Southwest Power Pool, Inc. (SPP) conducted a compliance inquiry regarding a transmission system outage that occurred in the St. Joseph, Missouri area in the summer of 2009.  The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is also investigating the circumstances surrounding this transmission system outage.  The outcome of the outage inquiry cannot be predicted at this time.
 
MPSC Regulatory Approval of the GMO Acquisition
Appeals of the MPSC order approving the GMO acquisition were filed with the Cole County, Missouri, Circuit Court, which affirmed the order in June 2009.  That decision was appealed and the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, upheld the MPSC order in August 2010.  The case was transferred to the Missouri Supreme Court in December 2010.  On July 19, 2011, the Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the Circuit Court’s ruling that affirmed the MPSC order approving the GMO acquisition.

PENSION PLANS, OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND VOLUNTARY SEPARATION PROGRAM
 
Great Plains Energy maintains defined benefit pension plans for substantially all active and inactive employees, including officers, and also provides certain post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits for substantially all retired employees of KCP&L, GMO, and Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC).
 
KCP&L and GMO record pension expense in accordance with rate orders from the MPSC and KCC that allow the difference between pension costs under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and pension costs for ratemaking to be recognized as a regulatory asset or liability.  The current rate orders allow similar regulatory treatment for post-retirement benefits.  The differences between the financial and regulatory accounting methods are due to timing and will be eliminated over the life of the pension and post-retirement plans.

Year to date June 30, 2011, Great Plains Energy contributed $31.6 million to the pension plans and expects to contribute an additional $82.2 million in 2011 to satisfy the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), and the MPSC and KCC rate orders, the majority of which is expected to be paid by KCP&L.  Also in 2011, the Company expects to contribute $17.1 million to the post-retirement benefit plans, of which the majority will be funded by KCP&L.
 
Voluntary Separation Program
In March 2011, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L announced an organizational realignment and voluntary separation program to assist in the management of overall costs within the level reflected in the Companies’ retail electric rates and to enhance organizational efficiency.  Savings from the realignment process and voluntary separation program, including approximately $15 million in labor costs on an annual basis, are expected to partially offset projected cost increases.  Under the voluntary separation program, any non-union employee could voluntarily elect to separate and receive a severance payment equal to two weeks of salary for every year of employment, with a minimum severance payment equal to fourteen weeks of salary.  There were 140 employees that made such elections and the majority separated on April 30, 2011.  Great Plains Energy recorded $3.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, related to this voluntary separation program reflecting severance and related payroll taxes to employees who elected to

voluntarily separate.  KCP&L recorded $2.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, related to this voluntary separation program.
 
At June 30, 2011, there was no material pension settlement charge from the voluntary separation program as a result of accelerated pension distributions.  The Companies will continue to assess if a material pension settlement charge may result from additional accelerated pension distributions subsequent to June 30, 2011.  If a pension settlement charge is incurred, the Companies expect to defer the charge and recover it over future periods pursuant to existing and past regulatory agreements.  The amount of accelerated pension distributions resulting from the voluntary separation program may also result in increased pension funding requirements in 2011 under ERISA.

average contractual term.  The total fair value of performance shares earned and paid year to date June 30, 2011 and 2010, was $0.8 million and insignificant, respectively.
 
The fair value of performance share awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that uses the closing stock price at the valuation date and incorporates assumptions for inputs of expected volatilities, dividend yield and risk-free rates.  Expected volatility is based on daily stock price change during a historical period commensurate with the remaining term of the performance period of the grant.  The risk-free rate is based upon the rate at the time of the evaluation for zero-coupon government bonds with a maturity consistent with the remaining performance period of the grant.  The dividend yield is based on the most recent dividends paid and the actual closing stock price on the valuation date.  For shares granted in 2011, inputs for expected volatility, dividend yield and risk-free rates were 30%, 4.35%, and 1.15%, respectively.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
Fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices, with the incremental borrowing rate for similar debt used to determine fair value if quoted market prices were not available.  At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the book value of Great Plains Energy’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of Great Plains Energy’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was $3.6 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the book value of KCP&L’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of KCP&L’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively.
 
KCP&L General Mortgage Bonds and EIRR Bonds
In April 2011, KCP&L purchased in lieu of redemption its $63.3 million EIRR Series 2007A-1, $10.0 million EIRR Series 2007A-2 and $39.5 million EIRR Series 1993B bonds.  KCP&L opted to purchase rather than remarket the bonds given the poor conditions in the tax-exempt market.  KCP&L issued commercial paper to fund the purchase of the bonds. As of June 30, 2011, the bonds were still outstanding, but were not reported as a liability on the balance sheet since they are being held by KCP&L.  KCP&L has the ability to remarket these bonds to third parties whenever it determines market conditions are sufficiently attractive to do so.
 
GMO Senior Notes
GMO repaid its $137.3 million 7.95% Senior Notes that matured in February 2011 and $197.0 million 7.75% Senior Notes that matured in June 2011.

Great Plains Energy Senior Notes
In May 2011, Great Plains Energy issued $350.0 million of 4.85% unsecured Senior Notes, maturing in 2021.  As a result of amortizing the loss recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) on Great Plains Energy’s three-year forward Starting Swaps (FSS), the effective interest rate is 7.34% through May 2014.
 
Great Plains Energy 10.00% Equity Units Subordinated Notes Classified As Current Maturities
In May 2009, Great Plains Energy issued $287.5 million of Equity Units.  Equity Units, each with a stated amount of $50, initially consist of a 5% undivided beneficial interest in $1,000 principal amount of 10.00% subordinated notes due June 15, 2042, and a purchase contract requiring the holder to purchase the Company’s common stock by June 15, 2012 (the settlement date).
 
Great Plains Energy must attempt to remarket the subordinated notes, in whole but not in part, between December 15, 2011, and June 12, 2012.  The proceeds from a successful remarketing will be used to satisfy the holders’ obligation under the purchase contract.  If the notes have not been successfully remarketed by June 12, 2012, the holders of all notes will have the right to put their notes to Great Plains Energy on June 15, 2012, in satisfaction of the holders’ obligation under the purchase contracts, and Great Plains Energy will issue to the holders newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the settlement rate.  The settlement rate will vary according to the applicable market value of the Company’s common stock at the settlement date.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Environmental Matters
Great Plains Energy and KCP&L are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local authorities with regard to environmental matters primarily through their utility operations.  In addition to imposing extensive and continuing compliance obligations, laws, regulations and permits authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions.  The cost of complying with current and future environmental requirements is expected to be material to Great Plains Energy and KCP&L.  Failure to comply with environmental requirements or to timely recover environmental costs through rates could have a material adverse effect on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
34
 
 
The following discussion groups environmental and certain associated matters into the broad categories of air and climate change, water, solid waste and remediation.
 
Air and Climate Change Overview
The Clean Air Act and associated regulations enacted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) form a comprehensive program to preserve air quality.  States are required to establish regulations and programs to address all requirements of the Clean Air Act and have the flexibility to enact more stringent requirements.  All of Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s generating facilities, and certain of their other facilities, are subject to the Clean Air Act.
 
Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s current estimate of capital expenditures (exclusive of AFUDC and property taxes) to comply with the currently-effective Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), the replacement to CAIR or the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), the best available retrofit technology (BART) rule, the SO2 national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS), the industrial boiler rule and proposed maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for mercury and other hazardous air pollutant emissions (all of which are discussed below) is approximately $1 billion.  The actual cost of compliance with any existing, proposed or future rules may be significantly different from the cost estimate provided.
 
The approximate $1 billion current estimate of capital expenditures reflects the following high-likelihood capital projects:
 
·  
KCP&L’s LaCygne No. 1 scrubber and baghouse installed by June 2015;
 
·  
KCP&L’s LaCygne No. 2 full air quality control system (AQCS) installed by June 2015;
 
·  
KCP&L’s Montrose No. 3 full AQCS installed by approximately 2016; and
 
·  
GMO’s Sibley No. 3 scrubber and baghouse installed by approximately 2016.
 
Other capital projects at KCP&L’s Montrose Nos. 1 and 2 and GMO’s Sibley Nos. 1 and 2 and Lake Road Nos. 4 and 6 are possible but are currently considered less likely.  Any capacity and energy requirements resulting from a decision not to proceed with these less likely projects is currently expected to be met through renewable energy additions required under Missouri and Kansas renewable energy standards, demand side management programs, construction of combustion turbines and/or combined cycle units, and/or purchased power agreements.
 
The estimate does not reflect the non-capital costs the Companies incur on an ongoing basis to comply with environmental laws, which may increase in the future due to the Companies’ ongoing compliance with current or future environmental laws.  The Companies expect to seek recovery of the costs associated with environmental requirements through rate increases; however, there can be no assurance that such rate increases would be granted.  The Companies may be subject to materially adverse rate treatment in response to competitive, economic, political, legislative or regulatory pressures and/or public perception of the Companies’ environmental reputation.
 
Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR)
The CAIR requires reductions in SO2 and NOx emissions in 28 states, including Missouri.  The reductions in SO2 and NOx emissions are accomplished through statewide caps for NOx and SO2.  Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s fossil fuel-fired plants located in Missouri are subject to CAIR, while their fossil fuel-fired plants in Kansas are not.
 
On July 11, 2008, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated CAIR in its entirety and remanded the matter to the EPA to promulgate a new rule consistent with its opinion.  On December 23, 2008, the Court issued an order remanding CAIR to the EPA to revise the rule consistent with its July 2008 order.  The CAIR remains in effect through 2011.
 
35
 
 
CAIR currently establishes a market-based cap-and-trade program with an emission allowance allocation.  Facilities demonstrate compliance with CAIR by holding sufficient allowances for each ton of SO2 and NOx emitted in any given year.  KCP&L and GMO are currently allowed to utilize unused SO2 emission allowances that they have either accumulated during previous years of the Acid Rain Program or purchased to meet the more stringent CAIR requirements.  At June 30, 2011, KCP&L had accumulated unused SO2 emission allowances sufficient to support over 150,000 tons of SO2 emissions (enough to support expected requirements under the CAIR and the Acid Rain Program for the foreseeable future) under the provisions of the Acid Rain program, which are recorded in inventory at zero cost.  At June 30, 2011, GMO had accumulated unused SO2 emission allowances sufficient to support just over 13,000 tons of SO2 emissions (enough to support expected requirements under the CAIR and Acid Rain Program through 2011), which it has received under the Acid Rain Program or purchased, and are recorded in inventory at average cost.  KCP&L and GMO purchase NOx allowances as needed.
 
 
In July 2011, the EPA finalized the CSAPR to replace the currently-effective CAIR.  The CSAPR, like CAIR, will require the states within its scope to reduce power plant SO2 and NOx emissions that contribute to ozone and fine particle nonattainment in other states.  The geographical scope of the CSAPR is broader than CAIR, and includes Kansas in addition to Missouri and other states.  Kansas and Missouri are only included for fine particulate matter control in the final CSAPR, but the EPA concurrently proposed a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to include both states for ozone season control which the EPA intends to finalize in October 2011.  The CSAPR would also impose more stringent emissions limitations than CAIR and, unlike CAIR, would not utilize Acid Rain Program allowances for compliance.  In the CSAPR, the EPA set an emissions budget for each of the affected states.  The CSAPR allows limited interstate emissions allowance trading among power plants; however, it does not permit trading of SO2 allowances between the Companies’ Kansas and Missouri power plants.  Compliance with the CSAPR begins in 2012.  There would be additional reductions in SO2 allowances allocable to the Companies’ Missouri power plants taking effect in 2014.  There is no such 2014 additional reduction in SO2 allowances allocable to the Companies’ Kansas power plants.

The finalized CSAPR is complex and Great Plains Energy and KCP&L are evaluating its impacts.  The Companies project that they may not be allocated sufficient SO2 or NOX emissions allowances to cover their currently expected operations starting in 2012.  Any shortfall in allocated allowances is anticipated to be addressed through a combination of permissible allowance trading, installing additional emission control equipment, changes in plant processes, or purchasing additional power in the wholesale market.

Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) Rule
The EPA BART rule directs state air quality agencies to identify whether visibility-reducing emissions from sources subject to BART are below limits set by the state or whether retrofit measures are needed to reduce emissions.  BART applies to specific eligible facilities including KCP&L’s LaCygne Nos. 1 and 2 in Kansas, KCP&L’s Iatan No. 1, in which GMO has an 18% interest, KCP&L’s Montrose No. 3 in Missouri, GMO’s Sibley Unit No. 3 and Lake Road Unit No. 6 in Missouri and Westar Energy, Inc.’s (Westar) Jeffrey Unit Nos. 1 and 2 in Kansas, in which GMO has an 8% interest.  Both Missouri and Kansas have submitted BART plans to the EPA but neither Missouri nor Kansas has received EPA approval for their BART plans.
 
Mercury and Other Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions
In January 2009, the EPA issued a memorandum stating that new electric steam generating units (EGUs) that began construction while the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) was effective are subject to a new source MACT determination on a case-by-case basis.
 
In July 2009, the EPA sent letters notifying KCP&L that MACT determinations and schedules of compliance are required for coal and oil-fired EGUs that began actual construction or reconstruction after
 
36
 
 
December 15, 2000, and identified Iatan No. 2 and Hawthorn No. 5 as affected EGUs.  This was an outcome of the D.C. Court of Appeals’ vacatur of both the CAMR and the contemporaneously promulgated rule removing EGUs from MACT requirements.  In May 2011, KCP&L received a letter from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) stating the MACT determination was not required for Hawthorn No. 5.  It is not currently known how MACT determinations and schedules of compliance will impact the permitting or operating requirements for Iatan No. 2, but it is possible a MACT determination may ultimately require additional emission control equipment and permit limits.
 
In April 2010, the EPA, in a court approved settlement, agreed to develop MACT standards for mercury and potentially other hazardous air pollutant emissions.  In the settlement agreement, the EPA agreed to propose MACT standards in March 2011 with final standards by November 2011.  In March 2011, the EPA issued a proposed rule that would reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from new and existing coal-fired EGUs with a capacity of 25MW or greater.  The proposed rule would establish numerical emission limits for mercury, particulate matter (a surrogate for non-mercury metals), and hydrogen chloride (a surrogate for acid gases).  The proposed rule would establish work practices, instead of numerical emission limits, for organic hazardous air pollutants, including dioxin/furan.  Compliance with the rule would need to be addressed by installing additional emission control equipment, changes in plant operation, purchasing additional power in the wholesale market or a combination of these and other alternatives.  Any final rule could have a significant adverse effect on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In February 2011, the EPA issued a final rule that would reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from new and existing industrial boilers.  The final rule establishes numeric emission limits for mercury, dioxin, particulate matter (as a surrogate for non-mercury metals), hydrogen chloride (as a surrogate for acid gases), and carbon monoxide (as a surrogate for non-dioxin organic hazardous air pollutants).  The final rule establishes emission limits for KCP&L’s and GMO’s new and existing units that produce steam other than for the generation of electricity.  The final rule does not apply to KCP&L’s and GMO’s electricity generating boilers, but would apply to most of GMO’s Lake Road boilers, which also serve steam customers, and to auxiliary boilers at other generating facilities.  In May 2011, the EPA announced it would stay the effective date of the final rule during reconsideration.  The EPA indicated it will propose a revised rule by the end of October 2011 and issue another final rule by the end of April 2012.
 
New Source Review
The Clean Air Act requires companies to obtain permits and, if necessary, install control equipment to reduce emissions when making a major modification or a change in operation if either is expected to cause a significant net increase in regulated emissions.
 
In January 2004, Westar received notification from the EPA alleging that it had violated new source review requirements and Kansas environmental regulations by making modifications to the Jeffrey Energy Center without obtaining the proper permits.  In February 2009, the Attorney General of the United States filed a complaint against Westar alleging that it violated the Clean Air Act and related federal and state regulations by making major modifications to the Jeffrey Energy Center beginning in 1994 without first obtaining appropriate permits authorizing this construction and without installing and operating best available control technology to control emissions.  The Jeffrey Energy Center consists of three coal-fired units located in Kansas that is 92% owned by Westar and operated exclusively by Westar.  GMO has an 8% interest in the Jeffrey Energy Center and is generally responsible for its 8% share of the facility’s operating costs and capital expenditures.  In January 2010, Westar entered into a settlement agreement, which was approved by the court in March 2010.  The settlement agreement requires, among other things, the installation of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system at one of the Jeffrey Energy Center units by the end of 2014 and the payment of a $3 million civil penalty.  Westar has preliminarily
 
37
 
 
estimated the cost of this SCR at approximately $240 million.  This amount could materially change depending on final engineering and design.  Depending on the NOx emission reductions attained by that SCR and attainable through the installation of other controls at the other two units, the settlement agreement may require the installation of a second SCR system on one of the other two units by the end of 2016.  There is no assurance that GMO’s share of these costs would be recovered in rates and failure to recover such costs could have a significant adverse effect on Great Plains Energy’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
KCP&L has received requests for information from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) pertaining to a past LaCygne No. 1 scrubber project.  KCP&L is working with the KDHE to resolve this issue and management currently believes the outcome will not have a significant impact on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
Collaboration Agreement
In March 2007, KCP&L, the Sierra Club and the Concerned Citizens of Platte County entered into a Collaboration Agreement under which KCP&L agreed to pursue a set of initiatives including energy efficiency, additional wind generation, lower emission permit levels at its Iatan and LaCygne generating stations and other initiatives designed to offset CO2 emissions.  Full implementation of the terms of the Collaboration Agreement will necessitate approval from the appropriate authorities, as some of the initiatives in the agreement require regulatory approval.
 
In 2006, KCP&L installed 100MW of wind generation at its Spearville wind site.  KCP&L agreed in the Collaboration Agreement to pursue increasing its wind generation capacity to 500MW in total by the end of 2012 with 100MW to be added by the end of 2010 and the remainder added by the end of 2012, subject to regulatory approval.  In 2010, KCP&L completed a 48MW wind project adjacent to its existing Spearville wind site with wind turbines it already owned and also secured 52MW of renewable energy credits.  During 2011, KCP&L entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement for approximately 131MW of wind generation beginning in 2012.  KCP&L is evaluating alternatives to meet the remaining Collaboration Agreement wind generation capacity, including the purchase of renewable energy credits, power purchase agreements, KCP&L-built installations or some combination thereof.  KCP&L had previously issued requests for proposals before entering into the 2011 power purchase agreement.  In August 2011, KCP&L requested a refresh of those requests for proposals for up to 221MW of wind generation under power purchase agreements and/or the combination of power purchase agreements and arrangements where KCP&L would own and operate the facilities after development and construction.
 
KCP&L has a consent agreement with the KDHE incorporating limits for stack particulate matter emissions, as well as limits for NOx and SO2 emissions, at its LaCygne Station that, consistent with the Collaboration Agreement, will be below the presumptive limits under BART.  KCP&L further agreed to use its best efforts to install emission control technologies to reduce those emissions from the LaCygne Station prior to the required compliance date under BART, but in no event later than June 1, 2015.  In February 2011, KCP&L filed a request with KCC for predetermination of the ratemaking treatment that will apply to the recovery of costs for its 50% share of the environmental equipment required to comply with BART at the LaCygne Station.  The request for predetermination includes an estimated total project cost of $1.23 billion.  KCP&L’s 50% share of the estimated cost is $615 million.  A KCC decision on the predetermination filing is expected in August 2011.  In a related proceeding, in January 2011, KCC opened a general investigation docket regarding KCP&L and Westar environmental retrofits upon the recommendation of the KCC Staff and the Citizens Utility Ratepayers Board.  The Companies cannot predict the outcome or timing of this matter but the outcome could have the potential to impact the Companies’ resource planning in the future.
 
38
 
 
In the Collaboration Agreement, KCP&L also agreed to offset an additional 711,000 tons of CO2 by the end of 2012.  KCP&L currently expects to achieve this offset through a number of alternatives, including improving the efficiency of its coal-fired units, equipping certain gas-fired units for winter operation and, if necessary, possibly reducing output of, or retiring, one or more coal-fired units.
 
Climate Change
The Companies are subject to existing greenhouse gas reporting regulations and, as discussed below, are subject to certain greenhouse gas permitting requirements starting in 2011.  Management believes it is likely that additional federal or relevant state or local laws or regulations could be enacted to address global climate change.  At the international level, while the United States is not a current party to the Kyoto Protocol, it has agreed to undertake certain voluntary actions under the non-binding Copenhagen Accord and pursuant to subsequent international discussions relating to climate change, including the establishment of a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  International agreements legally binding on the United States may be reached in the future.  Such new laws or regulations could mandate new or increased requirements to control or reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, which are created in the combustion of fossil fuels.  The Companies’ current generation capacity is primarily coal-fired and is estimated to produce about one ton of CO2 per MWh, or approximately 23 million tons and 17 million tons per year for Great Plains Energy and KCP&L, respectively.
 
Laws have recently been passed in Missouri and Kansas, the states in which the Companies’ retail electric businesses are operated, setting renewable energy standards, and management believes that national clean or renewable energy standards are also likely.  While management believes additional requirements addressing these matters will probably be enacted, the timing, provisions and impact of such requirements, including the cost to obtain and install new equipment to achieve compliance, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.  In addition, certain federal courts have held that state and local governments and private parties have standing to bring climate change tort suits seeking company-specific emission reductions and monetary or other damages.  While the Companies are not a party to any climate change tort suit, there is no assurance that such suits may not be filed in the future or the outcome if such suits are filed.  Such requirements or litigation outcomes could have the potential for a significant financial and operational impact on Great Plains Energy and KCP&L.  The Companies would seek recovery of capital costs and expenses for compliance through rate increases; however, there can be no assurance that such rate increases would be granted.
 
Legislation concerning the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2, is being considered at the federal and state levels.  The timing and effects of any such legislation cannot be determined at this time.  In the absence of new Congressional mandates, the EPA is proceeding with the regulation of greenhouse gases under the existing Clean Air Act.
 
In May 2010, the EPA issued a final rule addressing greenhouse gas emissions from stationary sources under the Clean Air Act permitting programs.  This final rule sets thresholds for greenhouse gas emissions that define when permits under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title V Operating Permit programs are required for new and existing industrial facilities.  The EPA phased in the Clean Air Act permitting requirements for greenhouse gas emissions in two initial steps.  In step 1, which started January 2, 2011, only sources currently subject to the PSD permitting program (i.e., those that are newly-constructed or modified in a way that significantly increases emissions of a pollutant other than greenhouse gas) are subject to Title V or PSD permitting requirements, respectively, for their greenhouse gas emissions.  For these projects, only projects with new or increases of greenhouse gas emissions of 75,000 tons per year or more of total greenhouse gases, on a CO2 equivalent basis, need to determine the best available control technology for their greenhouse gas emissions.  In addition, sources subject to the Title V Operating Permit Program need to address greenhouse gas emissions as those permits are applied for or renewed.  In step 2, which started July 1, 2011, Title V and PSD permitting requirements now
 
39
 
 
cover, for the first time, new construction projects that emit greenhouse gas emissions of at least 100,000 tons per year even if they do not exceed the permitting thresholds for any other pollutant.  In addition, modifications at such existing facilities that increase greenhouse gas emissions by at least 75,000 tons per year are subject to permitting requirements, even if they do not significantly increase emissions of any other pollutant.  Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s generating facilities that trigger these thresholds for new installations, modifications or Title V operating permits are subject to this rule.
 
In March 2011, the EPA announced it finalized a settlement agreement to issue a rule that will address greenhouse gas emissions from EGUs.  The rule would establish new source performance standards for new and modified EGUs and emission guidelines for existing EGUs.  Under the settlement agreement, the EPA committed to issuing proposed regulations by September 2011, and final regulations by May 2012.
 
At the state level, a Kansas law enacted in May 2009 requires Kansas public electric utilities, including KCP&L, to have renewable energy generation capacity equal to at least 10% of their three-year average Kansas peak retail demand by 2011.  The percentage increases to 15% by 2016 and 20% by 2020.  A Missouri law enacted in November 2008 requires at least 2% of the electricity provided by Missouri investor-owned utilities (including KCP&L and GMO) to their Missouri retail customers to come from renewable resources, including wind, solar, biomass and hydropower, by 2011, increasing to 5% in 2014, 10% in 2018, and 15% in 2021, with a small portion (estimated to be about 2MW in 2011 for each of KCP&L and GMO) required to come from solar resources.
 
KCP&L and GMO project that their existing renewable resources (including accumulated renewable energy credits) will be sufficient for compliance with the Missouri requirements, exclusive of the solar requirement, through 2021 and 2016, respectively.  KCP&L and GMO project that the purchase of solar renewable energy credits will be sufficient for compliance with the Missouri solar requirements for the foreseeable future.
 
KCP&L also projects that its existing renewable resources (including both accumulated renewable energy credits and purchased renewable energy credits) will be sufficient for compliance with the 2011 Kansas requirements.  During 2011, KCP&L entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement for approximately 131MW of wind generation beginning in 2012.  With the addition of this power purchase agreement along with its existing renewable resources, KCP&L anticipates its renewable resources will be sufficient for compliance with the Kansas requirements through 2012.  KCP&L had previously issued requests for proposals before entering into the 2011 power purchase agreement.  In August 2011, KCP&L requested a refresh of those requests for proposals for up to 221MW of wind generation under power purchase agreements and/or the combination of power purchase agreements and arrangements where KCP&L would own and operate the facilities after development and construction.
 
Additionally, in November 2007, governors from six Midwestern states, including Kansas, signed the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord, which has established the goal of reducing member states’ greenhouse gas emissions to 15% to 20% below 2005 levels by 2020, and 60% to 80% below 2005 levels by 2050.
 
Greenhouse gas legislation or regulation has the potential of having significant financial and operational impacts on Great Plains Energy and KCP&L, including the potential costs and impacts of achieving compliance with limits that may be established.  However, the ultimate financial and operational consequences to Great Plains Energy and KCP&L cannot be determined until such legislation is passed and/or regulations are issued.  Management will continue to monitor the progress of relevant legislation and regulations.

Ozone NAAQS 
In June 2007, monitor data indicated that the Kansas City area violated the 1997 primary eight-hour ozone NAAQS.  Missouri and Kansas have implemented the responses established in the maintenance plans for control of ozone.  The responses in both states do not require additional controls at Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s generation facilities beyond the currently proposed controls for CSAPR and BART.  The EPA has various options over and above the implementation of the maintenance plans for control of ozone to address the violation but has not yet acted.  At this time, management is unable to predict how the EPA will respond or how that response will impact Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s operations.  However, the EPA’s response could have a significant effect on Great Plains Energy's and KCP&L's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
In March 2008, the EPA significantly strengthened its NAAQS for ground-level ozone.  The EPA revised the primary eight-hour ozone standard, designed to protect public health, to a level of 0.075 parts per million (ppm).  The EPA also strengthened the secondary eight-hour ozone standard to the level of 0.075 ppm making it identical to the revised primary standard.  The previous primary and secondary standards, set in 1997, were effectively 0.084 ppm.
 
In March 2009, the MDNR and KDHE submitted to the EPA their determinations that the Kansas City area is a nonattainment area under the 2008 primary eight-hour ozone standard.  The EPA will make final designations of attainment and nonattainment areas.  By 2013, states must submit state implementation plans outlining how states will reduce ozone to meet the standards in nonattainment areas.  Although the impact on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s operations will not be known until after the final nonattainment designations and the state implementation plans are submitted, it could have a significant effect on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
In January 2010, the EPA proposed to reconsider and further strengthen the 2008 NAAQS for ground-level ozone.  The EPA proposed to strengthen the primary eight-hour ozone standard to a level within the range of 0.060-0.070 ppm.  The EPA also proposed to establish a distinct cumulative, seasonal secondary standard, designed to protect sensitive vegetation and ecosystems, to within the range of 7-15 ppm-hours.  It is anticipated EPA will finalize the standard in the third quarter of 2011.
 
SO2 NAAQS
In June 2010, the EPA strengthened the primary NAAQS for SO2.  The EPA revised the primary SO2 standard by establishing a new 1-hour standard at a level of 0.075 ppm.  The EPA revoked the two existing primary standards of 0.140 ppm evaluated over 24 hours and 0.030 ppm evaluated over an entire year.  In July 2011, the MDNR recommended to the EPA that part of Jackson County, Missouri, be designated a nonattainment area for the new 1-hour SO2 standard.  Although the impact on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s operations will not be known until after the nonattainment designations are approved and the state implementation plans are submitted, it could have a significant effect on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
Montrose Station Notice of Violation
In June 2009, KCP&L received notification from the MDNR alleging that its Montrose Station had excess particulate matter emissions in 2008.  KCP&L is working with the MDNR to resolve this issue and management believes the outcome will not have a significant impact on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
Water
The Clean Water Act and associated regulations enacted by the EPA form a comprehensive program to preserve water quality.  Like the Clean Air Act, states are required to establish regulations and programs to address all requirements of the Clean Water Act, and have the flexibility to enact more stringent requirements.  All of Great
 
41
 
 
Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s generating facilities, and certain of their other facilities, are subject to the Clean Water Act.
 
In March 2011, the EPA proposed regulations pursuant to Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act regarding cooling water intake structures pursuant to a court approved settlement.  KCP&L generation facilities with cooling water intake structures would be subject to a limit on how many fish can be killed by being pinned against intake screens (impingement) and would be required to conduct studies to determine whether and what site-specific controls, if any, would be required to reduce the number of aquatic organisms drawn into cooling water systems (entrainment).  The EPA agreed to finalize the rule by July 2012.  Although the impact on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s operations will not be known until after the rule is finalized, it could have a significant effect on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
KCP&L holds a permit from the MDNR covering water discharge from its Hawthorn Station.  The permit authorizes KCP&L to, among other things, withdraw water from the Missouri river for cooling purposes and return the heated water to the Missouri river.  KCP&L has applied for a renewal of this permit and the EPA has submitted an interim objection letter regarding the allowable amount of heat that can be contained in the returned water.  Until this matter is resolved, KCP&L continues to operate under its current permit.  KCP&L cannot predict the outcome of this matter; however, while less significant outcomes are possible, this matter may require KCP&L to reduce its generation at Hawthorn Station, install cooling towers or both, any of which could have a significant impact on KCP&L.  The outcome could also affect the terms of water permit renewals at KCP&L’s Iatan Station and at GMO’s Sibley and Lake Road Stations.
 
Additionally, in September 2009, the EPA announced plans to revise the existing standards for water discharges from coal-fired power plants.  In November 2010, the EPA filed a motion requesting court approval of a consent agreement in which the EPA agreed to propose a rule in July 2012 and to finalize it in January 2014.  Until a rule is proposed and finalized, the financial and operational impacts to Great Plains Energy and KCP&L cannot be determined.
 
Solid Waste
Solid and hazardous waste generation, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal is regulated at the federal and state levels under various laws and regulations.  In May 2010, the EPA proposed to regulate coal combustion residuals (CCRs) under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to address the risks from the disposal of CCRs generated from the combustion of coal at electric generating facilities.  The EPA is considering two options in this proposal.  Under the first option, the EPA would regulate CCRs as special wastes subject to regulation under subtitle C of RCRA (hazardous), when they are destined for disposal in landfills or surface impoundments.  Under the second option, the EPA would regulate disposal of CCRs under subtitle D of RCRA (non-hazardous).  The Companies principally use coal in generating electricity and dispose of the CCRs in both on-site facilities and facilities owned by third parties.  The proposed CCR rule has the potential of having a significant financial and operational impact on Great Plains Energy and KCP&L in connection with achieving compliance with the proposed requirements.  However, the financial and operational consequences to Great Plains Energy and KCP&L cannot be determined until an option is selected by the EPA and the final regulation is enacted.
 
Remediation
Certain federal and state laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) hold current and previous owners or operators of real property, and any person who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at a property, liable on a joint and several basis for the costs of cleaning up contamination at or migrating from such real property, even if they did not know of and were not responsible for such contamination.  CERCLA and other laws also authorize the EPA and other agencies to issue orders compelling potentially responsible parties to clean up sites that are determined to present an actual or potential threat to human health or the environment.  GMO is named as a potentially responsible party at two
 
42
 
 
disposal sites for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and retains some environmental liability for several operations and investments it no longer owns.  In addition, GMO also owns, or has acquired liabilities from companies that once owned or operated, former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites, which are subject to the supervision of the EPA and various state environmental agencies.
 
At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, KCP&L had $0.3 million accrued for environmental remediation expenses, which covers ground water monitoring at a former MGP site.  At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, Great Plains Energy had $0.4 million accrued for environmental remediation expenses, which includes the $0.3 million at KCP&L, and additional potential remediation and ground water monitoring costs relating to two GMO sites.  The amounts accrued were established on an undiscounted basis and Great Plains Energy and KCP&L do not currently have an estimated time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid.
 
In addition to the $0.4 million accrual above, at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, Great Plains Energy had $2.1 million accrued for the future investigation and remediation of certain additional GMO identified MGP sites, PCB sites and retained liabilities.  This estimate was based upon review of the potential costs associated with conducting investigative and remedial actions at identified sites, as well as the likelihood of whether such actions will be necessary.  This estimate could change materially after further investigation, and could also be affected by the actions of environmental agencies and the financial viability of other potentially responsible parties.
 
GMO has pursued recovery of remediation costs from insurance carriers and other potentially responsible parties.  As a result of a settlement with an insurance carrier, approximately $2.3 million in insurance proceeds less an annual deductible is available to GMO to recover qualified MGP remediation expenses.  GMO would seek recovery of additional remediation costs and expenses through rate increases; however, there can be no assurance that such rate increases would be granted.
 
In January 2010, the EPA announced an advance notice of proposed rulemaking under CERCLA identifying classes of facilities for which the EPA will develop financial assurance requirements, including the electric power generation, transmission and distribution industry.  The CERCLA financial assurance would be for risks associated with Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s production, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of CERCLA hazardous substances.  The impact on Great Plains Energy and KCP&L cannot be determined until the regulations are finalized.
 
In April 2010, the EPA announced an advance notice of proposed rulemaking for the use and distribution in commerce of certain PCBs, PCB items and certain other areas of the PCB regulations.  The EPA is reassessing the use, distribution in commerce, marking, and storage for reuse of liquid PCBs in electric and non-electric equipment and the use of the 50 ppm level for excluded PCB products among other things.  The impact on Great Plains Energy and KCP&L cannot be determined until the regulations are finalized.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
KCP&L Spent Nuclear Fuel and Radioactive Waste
In January 2004, KCP&L and the other two Wolf Creek owners filed a lawsuit against the United States in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims seeking $14.1 million of damages resulting from the government’s failure to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel for disposal in January 1998, as the government was required to do by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.  The Wolf Creek case was tried before a U.S. Court of Federal Claims judge in June 2010, and a decision was issued in November 2010, granting KCP&L and the other two Wolf Creek owners $10.6 million ($5.0 million KCP&L share) in damages.  In January 2011, KCP&L and the other two Wolf Creek owners as well as the United States filed appeals of the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  The court has set a briefing schedule.  Briefing likely will conclude in the fourth quarter of 2011, and the parties will present their oral arguments to the court sometime thereafter.

Iatan Levee Litigation
On May 22, 2009, several farmers filed suit against Great Plains Energy and KCP&L in the Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri, alleging negligence, private nuisance, trespass and violations of the Missouri Crop Protection Act and seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.  These allegations stem from flooding at or near the Iatan Station in 2007 and 2008.  The farmers allege the flooding was a result of maintenance of a nearby levee.  The petition seeks class certification from the courts.  KCP&L has filed a motion seeking separate trials for each individual plaintiff.  Written discovery and depositions are underway.  This matter is set for trial in November 2011.  Management cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
 
GMO Price Reporting Litigation
In response to complaints of manipulation of the California energy market, in July 2001, FERC issued an order requiring net sellers of power in the California markets from October 2, 2000, through June 20, 2001, at prices above a FERC determined competitive market clearing price to make refunds to net purchasers of power in the California market during that time period.  Because MPS Merchant was a net purchaser of power during the refund period, it has received approximately $8 million in refunds through settlements with certain sellers of power.  MPS Merchant estimates that it is entitled to approximately $12 million in additional refunds under the standards FERC has used in this case.  FERC has stated that interest will be applied to the refunds but the amount of interest has not yet been determined.  However, in December 2001, various parties appealed the FERC order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit seeking review of a number of issues, including changing the refund period to include periods prior to October 2, 2000.  MPS Merchant was a net seller of power during the period prior to October 2, 2000.  On August 2, 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order finding, among other things, that FERC did not provide a sufficient justification for refusing to exercise its remedial authority under the Federal Power Act to determine whether market participants violated FERC-approved tariffs during the period prior to October 2, 2000, and imposing a remedy for any such violations.  The court remanded the matter to FERC for further consideration.  In May 2011, FERC issued an order which clarified the scope of the hearing in the refund proceeding and ruled on requests for rehearing and motions to dismiss.  A hearing is set for March 2012.  If FERC ultimately includes the period prior to October 2, 2000, MPS Merchant could be found to owe refunds.
 
FERC initiated a separate docket, generally referred to as the Pacific Northwest refund proceeding, to determine if any refunds were warranted related to the potential impact of the California market issues on buyers in the Pacific Northwest between December 25, 2000, and June 20, 2001.  FERC rejected the refund requests, but its decision was remanded by the Court of Appeals for FERC to consider whether any acts of market manipulation support the imposition of refunds.  Claims against MPS Merchant total $5.1 million for the period addressed under the Pacific Northwest refund proceedings.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
 
KCP&L employees manage GMO’s business and operate its facilities at cost.  These costs totaled $27.7 million and $57.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively.  These costs totaled $20.1 million and $47.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.  Additionally, KCP&L and GMO engage in wholesale electricity transactions with each other.  KCP&L and GMO are also authorized to participate in the Great Plains Energy money pool, an internal financing arrangement in which funds may be lent on a short-term basis to KCP&L and GMO.  The following table summarizes KCP&L’s related party receivables and payables.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
Great Plains Energy and KCP&L are exposed to a variety of market risks including interest rates and commodity prices.  Management has established risk management policies and strategies to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of the markets may have on Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s operating results.  Commodity risk management activities, including the use of certain derivative instruments, are subject to the management, direction and control of an internal risk management committee.  Management’s interest rate risk management strategy uses derivative instruments to adjust Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s liability portfolio to optimize the mix of fixed and floating rate debt within an established range.  In addition, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L use derivative instruments to hedge against future interest rate fluctuations on anticipated debt issuances.  Management maintains commodity price risk management strategies that use derivative instruments to reduce the effects of fluctuations in fuel expense caused by commodity price volatility.  Counterparties to commodity derivatives and interest rate swap agreements expose Great Plains Energy and KCP&L to credit loss in the event of nonperformance.  This credit loss is limited to the cost of replacing these contracts at current market rates.  Derivative instruments, excluding those instruments that qualify for the normal purchase normal sale election, which are accounted for by accrual accounting, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability.  Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized currently in net income unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met, except GMO utility operations hedges that are recorded to a regulatory asset or liability consistent with MPSC regulatory orders, as discussed below.
 
Great Plains Energy and KCP&L have posted collateral, in the ordinary course of business, for the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position.  At June 30, 2011, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L have posted collateral in excess of the aggregate fair value of its derivative instruments; therefore, if the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L would not be required to post additional collateral to its counterparties.
 
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law in July 2010, includes provisions related to the swaps and over-the-counter derivative markets.  The Companies currently expect that their commodity and interest rate hedges will be exempt from mandatory clearing and exchange trading requirements.  Capital and margin requirements for these hedges are expected to be determined over the next year as regulatory agencies implement rules.  While the Companies currently do not anticipate this law and the associated regulatory rules will have a material impact on their financial condition, the ultimate impact cannot be reasonably determined until the final rules are issued.

In May 2011, Great Plains Energy issued $350.0 million of long-term debt and settled six forward starting swaps (FSS) simultaneously with the issuance of this long-term fixed rate debt.  Great Plains Energy had entered into the six FSS with notional amounts totaling $350.0 million to hedge against interest rate variability on the debt issuance.  The six FSS were treated as cash flow hedges with no ineffectiveness recorded for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011 and 2010.  A pre-tax loss of $26.1 million was recorded to OCI and is being reclassified to interest expense over the first three years of the ten-year debt.  At June 30, 2011, a $1.1 million loss has been reclassified from OCI to interest expense.
 
Commodity Risk Management
KCP&L’s risk management policy is to use derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to market price fluctuations on a portion of its projected natural gas purchases to meet generation requirements for retail and firm wholesale sales.  At June 30, 2011, KCP&L had fully hedged 2011 and had hedged 68% of 2012 and 31% of 2013 projected natural gas usage for retail load and firm MWh sales, primarily by utilizing futures contracts and financial instruments.  KCP&L has designated the natural gas hedges as cash flow hedges.  The fair values of these instruments are recorded as derivative assets or liabilities with an offsetting entry to OCI for the effective portion of the hedge.  To the extent the hedges are not effective, any ineffective portion of the change in fair market value would be recorded currently in fuel expense.  KCP&L has not recorded any ineffectiveness on natural gas hedges for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
GMO’s risk management policy is to use derivative instruments to mitigate price exposure to natural gas price volatility in the market.  The fair value of the portfolio relates to financial contracts that will settle against actual purchases of natural gas and purchased power.  At June 30, 2011, GMO had financial contracts in place to hedge approximately 74%, 61% and 38% of the expected on-peak natural gas and natural gas equivalent purchased power price exposure for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.  GMO has designated its natural gas hedges as economic hedges (non-hedging derivatives).  In connection with GMO’s 2005 Missouri electric rate case, it was agreed that the settlement costs of these contracts would be recognized in fuel expense.  The settlement cost is included in GMO’s FAC.  A regulatory asset has been recorded to reflect the change in the timing of recognition authorized by the MPSC.  To the extent recovery of actual costs incurred is allowed, amounts will not impact earnings, but will impact cash flows due to the timing of the recovery mechanism.
 
MPS Merchant manages the daily delivery of its remaining contractual commitments with economic hedges (non-hedging derivatives) to reduce its exposure to changes in market prices.  Within the trading portfolio, MPS Merchant takes certain positions to hedge physical sale or purchase contracts.  MPS Merchant records the fair value of physical trading energy contracts as derivative assets or liabilities with an offsetting entry to the consolidated statements of income.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad categories, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  A definition of the various levels, as well as discussion of the various measurements within the levels, is as follows:
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Great Plains Energy and KCP&L have access to at the measurement date.  Assets categorized within this level consist of Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s various exchange traded derivative instruments and equity and U.S. Treasury securities that are actively traded within KCP&L’s decommissioning trust fund and GMO’s SERP rabbi trust fund.
 
Level 2 – Market-based inputs for assets or liabilities that are observable (either directly or indirectly) or inputs that are not observable but are corroborated by market data.  Assets and liabilities categorized within this level consist of Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s various non-exchange traded derivative instruments traded in over-the-counter markets and certain debt securities within KCP&L’s decommissioning trust fund and GMO’s SERP rabbi trust fund.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs, reflecting Great Plains Energy’s and KCP&L’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Assets categorized within this level consist of Great Plains Energy’s various non-exchange traded derivative instruments traded in over-the-counter markets for which sufficiently observable market data is not available to corroborate the valuation inputs.

(a)  
The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated using market quotes, over-the-counter forward price and volatility curves and correlations among fuel prices, net of estimated credit risk.
(b)  
Fair value is based on quoted market prices of the investments held by the fund and/or valuation models.  The total does not include $3.7 million and $2.7 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, which are not subject to the fair value requirements.
(c)  
Fair value is based on quoted market prices of the investments held by the fund and/or valuation models.  The total does not include $13.9 million and $14.6 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, which are not subject to the fair value requirements.
(d)  
Represents the difference between derivative contracts in an asset or liability position presented on a net basis by counterparty on the consolidated balance sheet where a master netting agreement exists between the Company and the counterparty.  At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, Great Plains Energy netted $0.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of cash collateral posted with counterparties.

The following tables reconcile the beginning and ending balances for all level 3 assets and liabilities, net measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Uncertain Tax Positions
At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, Great Plains Energy had $24.9 million and $42.0 million, respectively, of liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits.  Of these amounts, $15.1 million and $17.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, is expected to impact the effective tax rate if recognized.  The $17.1 million decrease in unrecognized tax benefits is primarily due to a decrease of $18.4 million related to the settlement of the IRS audit for Great Plains Energy’s 2006-2008 tax years.  The tax benefit recognized related to the 2006-2008 IRS audit was offset by an increase of $16.4 million in deferred income tax liabilities, which resulted in an increase to net income of $2.0 million.
 
At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, KCP&L had $7.3 million and $19.1 million, respectively, of liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits.  Of these amounts, $0.3 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, is expected to impact the effective tax rate if recognized.  The $11.8 million decrease in unrecognized tax benefits is primarily due to a decrease of $12.1 million related to the settlement of the IRS audit for Great Plains Energy’s 2006-2008 tax years.  The tax benefit recognized related to the 2006-2008 IRS audit was mostly offset by an increase in deferred income tax liabilities, which resulted in an insignificant impact to net income.
 
The following table reflects activity for Great Plains Energy and KCP&L related to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
GREAT PLAINS ENERGY INCORPORATED
 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 
Description of Business
Great Plains Energy is a public utility holding company and does not own or operate any significant assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries.  Great Plains Energy’s direct subsidiaries with operations or active subsidiaries are KCP&L and GMO.  Great Plains Energy’s sole reportable business segment is electric utility for the periods presented.
 
Electric utility consists of KCP&L, a regulated utility, and GMO’s regulated utility operations, which include its Missouri Public Service and St. Joseph Light & Power divisions.  Electric utility has over 6,600 MWs of generating capacity and engages in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to approximately 825,000 customers in the states of Missouri and Kansas.  Electric utility’s retail electricity rates are below the national average of investor-owned utilities.
 
Earnings Overview
Great Plains Energy’s earnings available for common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased to $43.0 million or $0.31 per share from $63.9 million or $0.47 per share for the same period in 2010 driven by a $14.5 million decrease in gross margin due to unfavorable weather, a decline in retail demand, the impact of increased coal transportation costs not recovered in KCP&L Missouri rates where there is no fuel recovery mechanism and the impact of an extended refueling outage at Wolf Creek.  Gross margin is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP.  See the explanation of gross margin and the reconciliation to GAAP operating revenues under Great Plains Energy’s Results of Operations below for further information.  Also driving the decrease in earnings available for common shareholders was $3.0 million of voluntary separation program expenses and a $2.9 million increase in electric utility’s general taxes.
 
Great Plains Energy’s earnings available for common shareholders year to date June 30, 2011, decreased to $45.0 million or $0.32 per share from $83.8 million or $0.61 per share for the same period in 2010 driven by a $22.9 million decrease in gross margin due to unfavorable weather, a decline in retail demand, the impact of increased coal transportation costs not recovered in KCP&L Missouri rates where there is no fuel recovery mechanism and the impact of an extended refueling outage at Wolf Creek.  Also driving the decrease was $12.7 million of voluntary separation program expenses, $2.3 million of losses representing KCP&L’s and GMO’s combined share of the impact of disallowed construction costs for the Iatan No. 1 environmental equipment and the Iatan No. 2 construction project, $3.9 million of expenses related to other accounting effects of the KCP&L and GMO MPSC rate orders and a $6.9 million increase in electric utility’s general taxes.
 
KCP&L Kansas Rate Case Proceedings
In November 2010, KCC issued an order, effective December 1, 2010, for KCP&L, authorizing an increase in annual revenues of $21.8 million, a return on equity of 10.0%, an equity ratio of approximately 49.7% and a Kansas jurisdictional rate base of $1.781 billion.  The annual revenue increase was subsequently adjusted by KCC in a January 2011 reconsideration order to $22.0 million.  In February 2011, KCC issued an order granting KCP&L and another party to the case their respective petitions for reconsideration regarding rate case expenses and therefore, approximately $1.4 million of the annual revenue increase is considered as interim subject to refund or true-up pending the outcome of the reconsideration proceedings regarding rate case expenses.  A hearing is scheduled for September 2011 with a decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The rates authorized by KCC are effective unless and until modified by KCC or stayed by a court.

KCP&L Missouri Rate Case Proceedings
On June 4, 2010, KCP&L filed a request with the MPSC to increase its Missouri retail electric annual revenues by $92.1 million.  The request was ultimately adjusted during the rate case proceedings by KCP&L to $66.5 million as the net result of lower fuel and purchased power costs and other updates to the case.  KCP&L’s initial and updated requests reflected, among other things, a proposed annual offset to its revenue requirement for the Missouri jurisdictional portion of KCP&L’s annual non-firm wholesale electric sales margin (wholesale margin offset); the final update included a proposed wholesale margin offset of approximately $29.4 million.  On April 12, 2011, the MPSC issued its order and on April 14, 2011, the MPSC Staff filed a report which quantified the authorized revenue increase as approximately $34.8 million on an annual basis, which reflects a wholesale margin offset of approximately $45.9 million and authorizes a return on equity of 10.0%, an equity ratio of approximately 46.3% and a Missouri jurisdictional rate base of approximately $2.0 billion.  If the actual Missouri jurisdiction wholesale margin amount exceeds the $45.9 million level reflected in the MPSC order, the difference will be recorded as a regulatory liability and will be returned, with interest, to KCP&L Missouri customers in a future rate case.  The MPSC order provides the opportunity for KCP&L to retain a larger amount of non-firm wholesale electric sales margin than KCP&L proposed; however, there are no assurances that KCP&L will achieve the $45.9 million wholesale margin offset amount and there are no means for KCP&L to recover any shortfall through its retail rates.  The rates established by the MPSC order took effect on May 4, 2011.
 
As a result of disallowances in the MPSC order, KCP&L recognized losses of $1.5 million for construction costs related to Iatan No. 2 and the Iatan No. 1 environmental project year to date June 30, 2011.  KCP&L also recorded a $2.4 million loss for other disallowed costs in the MPSC order.
 
In a related order, the MPSC required KCP&L and GMO to apply to the Internal Revenue Service to reallocate approximately $26.5 million of Iatan No. 2 qualifying advance coal project tax credits from KCP&L to GMO, which they have done and are awaiting a decision.  If KCP&L and GMO are unsuccessful, the MPSC has indicated that it intends for GMO’s customers to be compensated for the tax credits and that it will consider the ratemaking treatment of the tax credits in a future rate case.  Certain ratemaking treatments that may be pursued by the MPSC could trigger the loss or repayment to the Internal Revenue Service of a portion of unamortized deferred investment tax credits.  At June 30, 2011, KCP&L and GMO had $128.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred investment tax credits.
 
GMO Missouri Rate Case Proceedings
On June 4, 2010, GMO filed requests with the MPSC to increase its Missouri retail electric annual revenues by $75.8 million for its Missouri Public Service division, and $22.1 million for its L&P division.  GMO subsequently adjusted its requests during the rate case proceedings to $65.9 million and $23.2 million, respectively, as the net result of updates to the cases.  On May 4, 2011, the MPSC issued its order and on May 10, 2011, the MPSC Staff filed a report which quantified the authorized revenue increases on an annual basis as $30.1 million for GMO’s Missouri Public Service division and $29.3 million for GMO’s L&P division.  The MPSC order authorized a return on equity of 10.0%, an equity ratio of approximately 46.6% and a Missouri jurisdictional rate base of $1.76 billion.  In response to applications for clarification and rehearing of the MPSC order, the MPSC on May 27, 2011, issued an order of clarification and modification.  The modified MPSC order revised the authorized annual revenue increase to approximately $35.7 million for GMO’s Missouri Public Service division and approximately $29.8 million for GMO’s L&P division, resulting primarily from a clarification of the amount of fuel costs shifted from GMO’s fuel adjustment clause to base rates.  However, because the MPSC authorized an annual revenue increase that was greater than the amount originally requested by GMO and communicated to GMO’s customers, the modified MPSC order deferred approximately $7.7 million of the L&P division increase, which is the amount over GMO’s requested $22.1 million increase for that division, and will phase in the deferred revenue amount in equal parts over a two-year period, plus carrying costs.
 
64
 
 
As a result of disallowances in the MPSC order, GMO recognized losses of $0.8 million for construction costs related to Iatan No. 2 and the Iatan No. 1 environmental project year to date June 30, 2011.  GMO also recorded a $1.5 million loss for other disallowed costs in the MPSC order.
 
Additionally, with respect to GMO’s Missouri Public Service division, the MPSC concluded that GMO’s decision to add Crossroads Energy Center (Crossroads) to its generation asset resources was prudent and reasonable; however, the order disallowed from rate base approximately $50 million for Crossroads, disallowed $4.9 million in associated annual transmission expense and offset rate base by approximately $15 million to reflect accumulated deferred taxes associated with Crossroads.  GMO’s request included a net plant amount of approximately $104 million for Crossroads.  In assessing the impact of the Crossroads disallowances, management considered that KCP&L’s and GMO’s generation asset resources include a diverse fuel mix consisting primarily of coal and nuclear fuel providing base load generation with natural gas facilities such as Crossroads to provide critical peaking and capacity support.  This combined collection of generating assets meets KCP&L’s and GMO’s service obligations and produces joint cash flows based on system-wide average costs.  Great Plains Energy conducted an analysis to assess the recoverability of the combined collection of generation asset resources and determined that no potential impairment exists.
 
The rates established by the modified MPSC order took effect on June 25, 2011.  On June 24, 2011, GMO filed its appeal of the MPSC order with the Cole County, Missouri, Circuit Court regarding the Crossroads issues discussed above.  Other parties to the case have also filed appeals of the MPSC order.  However, the rates authorized by the modified MPSC order will be effective unless and until modified by the MPSC or stayed by a court.
 
Coal Conservation
Several of KCP&L’s coal-fired power plants have been impacted by recent flooding in the Midwest.  Hawthorn No. 5 and LaCygne Nos. 1 and 2 are experiencing increased rail delivery cycle times, which has resulted in delays in coal delivery.  Beginning June 30, 2011, coal deliveries at Iatan Nos. 1 and 2 were suspended.  While it is not possible to predict with certainty how long the suspension and increased cycle times will continue, management currently expects coal deliveries at Iatan to resume in September.  Delays in coal deliveries at Hawthorn, LaCygne and Iatan are expected to continue into the fourth quarter.

In an effort to conserve coal and meet customer demand, KCP&L is currently operating the affected plants at reduced loads.  Additionally, KCP&L has entered into an agreement that allows it to purchase power from mid-June to the end of August.
 
Great Plains Energy and KCP&L currently estimate the impact of coal conservation resulting from increased fuel and purchased power expense and reduced wholesale sales will be approximately $28 million to $32 million in the second half of 2011.  KCP&L’s retail rates in Kansas and GMO’s retail rates contain fuel recovery mechanisms that include the cost of fuel and purchased power, offset by wholesale sales margin.  KCP&L’s Missouri retail rates do not contain a fuel recovery mechanism.  As a result, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L currently estimate the impact of coal conservation will reduce net income by approximately $12 million to $16 million in the second half of 2011.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to June 30, 2010
Great Plains Energy’s earnings available for common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased to $43.0 million, or $0.31 per share, from $63.9 million, or $0.47 per share, for the same period in 2010.
 
Electric utility’s net income decreased $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 driven by a $14.5 million decrease in gross margin due to unfavorable weather, a decline in retail demand, the impact of increased coal transportation costs not recovered in KCP&L Missouri rates where there is no fuel recovery mechanism and the impact of an extended refueling outage at Wolf Creek.  Also driving the decrease was $3.0 million of voluntary separation program expenses and a $2.9 million increase in general taxes.
 
Great Plains Energy’s corporate and other activities loss decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a $2.0 million tax benefit recognized on the settlement of the Company’s 2006-2008 federal tax audit.
 
Year to Date June 30, 2011 Compared to June 30, 2010
Great Plains Energy’s earnings available for common shareholders year to date June 30, 2011, decreased to $45.0 million, or $0.32 per share, from $83.8 million, or $0.61 per share, for the same period in 2010.
 
Electric utility’s net income decreased $40.6 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 driven by a $22.9 million decrease in gross margin due to unfavorable weather, a decline in retail demand, the impact of increased coal transportation costs not recovered in KCP&L Missouri rates where there is no fuel

recovery mechanism and the impact of an extended refueling outage at Wolf Creek.  Also driving the decrease was $12.7 million of voluntary separation program expenses, $2.3 million of losses representing KCP&L’s and GMO’s combined share of the impact of disallowed construction costs for the Iatan No. 1 environmental equipment and the Iatan No. 2 construction project, $3.9 million of expenses related to other accounting effects of the KCP&L and GMO MPSC rate orders and a $6.9 million increase in general taxes.
 
Great Plains Energy’s corporate and other activities loss decreased $1.8 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 driven by a $2.0 million tax benefit recognized on the settlement of the Company’s 2006-2008 federal tax audit.
 
Gross Margin
Gross margin is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Gross margin, as used by Great Plains Energy and KCP&L, is defined as operating revenues less fuel, purchased power and transmission of electricity by others.  Expenses for fuel, purchased power and transmission of electricity by others, offset by wholesale sales margin, are subject to recovery through cost adjustment mechanisms, except for KCP&L’s Missouri retail operations.  As a result, operating revenues increase or decrease in relation to a significant portion of these expenses.  Management believes that gross margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating electric utility’s operations across periods than operating revenues because gross margin excludes the revenue effect of fluctuations in these expenses.  Gross margin is used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Board.  The Companies’ definition of gross margin may differ from similar terms used by other companies.

(a) Gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. See explanation of gross margin under Great Plains Energy's Results
of Operations.
                                     
Electric utility’s gross margin decreased $14.5 million and $22.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily due to:
 
·  
unfavorable weather driven by a 12% decrease in cooling degree days;
 
68
 
 
·  
a decrease in weather-normalized retail demand;
 
·  
a $2.9 million and $7.5 million increase for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, in coal transportation costs not recovered in KCP&L’s Missouri retail rates where there is no fuel recovery mechanism, prior to new rates effective May 4, 2011; and
 
·  
an estimated $11 million impact from an extended refueling outage at Wolf Creek, which resulted in less generation available for wholesale sales, increased fuel expense due to the use of more coal in the fuel mix, which has a higher cost compared to nuclear fuel, and increased purchased power expense due to an increase in MWhs purchased.  Wolf Creek’s latest refueling outage began on March 19, 2011, and included several increases in work scope that extended the outage.  Primary components of the increased work scope were related to inspection and repair of essential service water system piping, testing and replacement of underground high voltage cables, and a repair of a ground on the main generator rotor.  During the last week of June 2011 before the unit returned to full capacity, Wolf Creek had an unplanned outage related to one of two main feed pumps.  Wolf Creek returned to 100% capacity in early July 2011.
 
These decreases were partially offset by new retail rates effective December 1, 2010, and May 4, 2011, for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri, respectively.
 
Electric Utility Other Operating Expenses (including utility operating and maintenance expenses, general taxes and other)
Electric utility’s other operating expenses increased $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to:
 
·  
a $4.4 million increase in plant operating and maintenance expenses primarily due to Iatan No. 2 expenses being recognized with rates effective December 1, 2010, and May 4, 2011, for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri, respectively;
 
·  
a $3.0 million increase in pension expense recognized pursuant to higher rates authorized in the MPSC and KCC rate orders; and
 
·  
a $2.9 million increase in general taxes driven by increased property taxes.
 
Electric utility’s other operating expenses increased $27.9 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to:
 
·  
a $5.2 million increase in plant operating and maintenance expenses primarily due to Iatan No. 2 expenses being recognized with rates effective December 1, 2010, and May 4, 2011, for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri, respectively;
 
·  
a $5.5 million increase in pension expense recognized pursuant to higher rates authorized in the MPSC and KCC rate orders;
 
·  
a $6.9 million increase in general taxes driven by increased property taxes; and
 
·  
as a result of disallowances in the MPSC rate orders, KCP&L and GMO recognized combined losses of $2.3 million for construction costs related to Iatan No. 2 and to the Iatan No. 1 environmental project.  KCP&L and GMO also recognized a combined $3.9 million loss for other disallowed costs in the MPSC rate orders.
 
Electric Utility Voluntary Separation Program
In March 2011, Great Plains Energy announced an organizational realignment and voluntary separation program to assist in the management of overall costs within the level reflected in the Company’s retail electric rates and to enhance organizational efficiency.  Savings from the realignment process and voluntary separation program, including approximately $15 million in labor costs on an annual basis, are expected to partially offset projected cost increases.  Under the voluntary separation program, any non-union employee of the Company could voluntarily elect to separate from the Company and receive a severance payment equal to two weeks of salary for
 
69
 
 
every year of employment, with a minimum severance payment equal to fourteen weeks of salary.  Approximately 140 employees made such elections and the majority separated from the Company on April 30, 2011.  Electric utility recorded expense of $3.0 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, related to this voluntary separation program reflecting severance and related payroll taxes provided by the Company to employees who elected to voluntarily separate from the Company.
 
At June 30, 2011, there was no material pension settlement charge from the voluntary separation program as a result of accelerated pension distributions.  The Companies will continue to assess if a material pension settlement charge may result from additional accelerated pension distributions subsequent to June 30, 2011.  If a pension settlement charge is incurred, the Companies expect to defer the charge and recover it over future periods pursuant to existing and past regulatory agreements.  The amount of accelerated pension distributions resulting from the voluntary separation program may also result in increased pension funding requirements in 2011 under ERISA.
 
Electric Utility Depreciation and Amortization
Electric utility’s depreciation and amortization costs decreased $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 due to a $6.2 million decrease attributable to lower depreciation rates for KCP&L effective December 1, 2010, for Kansas and May 4, 2011, for Missouri and a $15.3 million decrease in regulatory amortization.  The regulatory amortization was in effect during KCP&L’s Comprehensive Energy Plan but concluded following the December 2010 and May 2011 effective dates of new retail rates for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri, respectively.  These decreases were partially offset by depreciation for Iatan No. 2, as well as increased depreciation expense for other capital additions.
 
Electric utility’s depreciation and amortization costs decreased $23.2 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 due to a $15.7 million decrease attributable to lower depreciation rates for KCP&L and a $23.6 million decrease in regulatory amortization.  These decreases were partially offset by $6.2 million of depreciation for Iatan No. 2, as well as increased depreciation expense for other capital additions.
 
Electric Utility Non-Operating Income and Expenses
Electric utility’s non-operating income and expenses decreased $10.0 million and $19.8 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily due to a decrease in the equity component of AFUDC resulting from a lower average construction work in progress balance due to Iatan No. 2 being placed in service in the third quarter of 2010.

Electric Utility Interest Charges
Electric utility’s interest charges increased $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to an $8.9 million decrease in the debt component of AFUDC resulting from a lower average construction work in progress balance due to Iatan No. 2 being placed in service in the third quarter of 2010 and $5.6 million of interest on intercompany notes from Great Plains Energy to GMO issued in August 2010 and May 2011.  These items were mostly offset by the deferral to a regulatory asset of construction accounting carrying costs for Iatan No. 1, Iatan No. 2 and common facilities and the maturity of GMO’s 7.95% Senior Notes in February 2011.
 
Electric utility’s interest charges increased $2.0 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a $17.3 million decrease in the debt component of AFUDC resulting from a lower average construction work in progress balance due to Iatan No. 2 being placed in service in the third quarter of 2010 and $8.0 million of interest on intercompany notes from Great Plains Energy to GMO issued in August 2010 and May 2011.  These items were mostly offset by the deferral to a regulatory asset of construction accounting carrying costs for Iatan No. 1, Iatan No. 2 and common facilities and the maturity of GMO’s 7.95% Senior Notes in February 2011.
 
70
 
 
Electric Utility Income Tax Expense
Electric utility’s income tax expense decreased $10.8 million and $21.5 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010 due to decreased pre-tax income.
 
GREAT PLAINS ENERGY SIGNIFICANT BALANCE SHEET CHANGES (June 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010)

·  
Great Plains Energy’s deferred refueling outage costs increased $31.0 million due to the deferral of costs for the Wolf Creek refueling outage that began on March 19, 2011, and included several increases in work scope that extended the outage.  These deferred costs will be amortized over the months prior to the next refueling outage currently scheduled for the fall of 2012.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s deferred income taxes – current assets decreased $11.1 million primarily due to increased temporary differences resulting from the increased deferred refueling outage costs.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s notes payable increased $82.5 million due to increased borrowings due to the timing of cash payments.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s commercial paper increased $213.2 million due to borrowings for the purchase in lieu of redemption of KCP&L’s EIRR Series 1993B bonds totaling $39.5 million and EIRR Series 2007A-1 and 2007 A-2 totaling $73.3 million and other increased borrowings due to the timing of cash payments.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s current maturities of long-term debt decreased $34.4 million due to the repayment of $137.3 million and $197.0 million at maturity of GMO’s 7.95% and 7.75% Senior Notes, respectively, offset by the reclassification of $287.5 million of Great Plains Energy’s 10.00% Equity Units Subordinated Notes from long-term debt.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s accounts payable decreased $80.7 million primarily due to the timing of cash payments.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s accrued taxes increased $33.6 million primarily due to the timing of property tax payments.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s derivative instruments – current liabilities decreased $20.8 million due to the settlement of FSS upon the issuance of Great Plains Energy’s $350.0 million of 4.85% Senior Notes.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s other deferred credits and other liabilities decreased $27.1 million primarily due to a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits related to the settlement of the IRS audit for Great Plains Energy’s 2006-2008 tax years.
 
·  
Great Plains Energy’s long-term debt decreased $81.9 million primarily due to the $287.5 million of Great Plains Energy’s 10.00% Equity Units Subordinated Notes reclassified to current maturities and the purchase in lieu of redemption of $112.8 million of KCP&L’s EIRR bonds, offset by Great Plains Energy’s issuance of $350.0 million of 4.85% Senior Notes in May 2011.
 
 
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND LIQUIDITY
 
Great Plains Energy operates through its subsidiaries and has no material assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries.  Great Plains Energy’s ability to make payments on its debt securities and its ability to pay dividends is dependent on its receipt of dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries, proceeds from the issuance of its securities and borrowing under its revolving credit facility.
 
Great Plains Energy’s capital requirements are principally comprised of debt maturities and electric utility’s construction and other capital expenditures.  These items as well as additional cash and capital requirements are discussed below.
 
71
 
 
Great Plains Energy's liquid resources at June 30, 2011, consisted of $7.8 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $625.1 million of unused bank lines of credit.  The unused lines consisted of $161.4 million from Great Plains Energy's revolving credit facility, $91.9 million from KCP&L's credit facilities and $371.8 million from GMO’s revolving credit facility.  See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on these credit facilities.  Generally, Great Plains Energy uses these liquid resources to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements, and from time to time issues equity and/or long-term debt to repay short-term debt or increase cash balances.
 
Great Plains Energy intends to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements including interest payments, retirement of maturing debt, construction requirements, dividends and pension benefit plan funding requirements with a combination of internally generated funds and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, equity-linked securities and/or short-term and long-term debt.  Great Plains Energy’s intention to meet a portion of these requirements with internally generated funds may be impacted by the effect of inflation on operating expenses, the level of retail MWh sales, regulatory actions, compliance with environmental regulations and the availability of generating units.  In addition, Great Plains Energy may issue equity, equity-linked securities and/or debt to finance growth.
 
At July 31, 2011, Great Plains Energy’s long-term debt maturities for the remainder of 2011 and for 2012 were $150.3 million and $513.9 million, respectively.  Great Plains Energy is evaluating alternatives to refinance this long-term debt, including issuing new long-term debt.  Based on current market conditions and Great Plains Energy’s unused bank lines of credit, Great Plains Energy expects to have the ability to access the markets to complete the necessary refinancing.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The decrease in cash flows from operating activities for Great Plains Energy year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 is primarily due to a reduction in net income, the payment of $26.1 million for the settlement of FSS upon the issuance of $350.0 million of 4.85% Senior Notes in May 2011 and an increase in deferred refueling outage costs, partially offset by the adoption of new accounting rules in 2010.  On January 1, 2010, Great Plains Energy adopted new accounting rules for transfers of financial assets, which resulted in the recognition of $95.0 million of accounts receivables pledged as collateral and a corresponding short-term collateralized note payable on Great Plains Energy’s balance sheet at December 31, 2010.  See Note 3 for additional information.  As a result, cash flows from operating activities were reduced by $95.0 million and cash flows from financing activities were raised by $95.0 million with no impact to the net change in cash in 2010.  Other changes in working capital are detailed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  The individual components of working capital vary with normal business cycles and operations.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Great Plains Energy’s cash used for investing activities varies with the timing of utility capital expenditures and purchases of investments and nonutility property.  Investing activities are offset by the proceeds from the sale of properties and insurance recoveries.
 
Great Plains Energy’s utility capital expenditures decreased $141.8 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 due to a decrease in cash utility capital expenditures primarily related to Iatan No. 2.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Great Plains Energy’s cash flows from financing activities in 2011 reflect the issuance, at a discount, of $350.0 million of 4.85% Senior Notes that mature in 2021.  Great Plains Energy used the proceeds to make a ten-year intercompany loan to GMO with GMO using the proceeds to repay $137.3 million of 7.95% Senior Notes and $197.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes at maturity.  Short-term borrowings increased with the proceeds used for KCP&L’s purchase in lieu of redemption of its EIRR Series 1993B bonds totaling $39.5 million and EIRR Series
 
72
 
 
2007A-1 and 2007A-2 totaling $73.3 million.  Additional short-term borrowings were used to support interest and dividend payments.
 
Great Plains Energy’s cash flows from financing activities year to date June 30, 2010, reflect additional short-term borrowings to support interest and dividend payments, in addition to the $95.0 million impact of the short-term collateralized note payable described above under cash flows from operating activities.
 
Financing Authorization
Under stipulations with the MPSC and KCC, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L maintain common equity at not less than 30% and 35%, respectively, of total capitalization (including only the amount of short-term debt in excess of the amount of construction work in progress).  KCP&L’s long-term financing activities are subject to the authorization of the MPSC.  In March 2010, the MPSC authorized KCP&L to issue up to $450.0 million of long-term debt and to enter into interest rate hedging instruments in connection with such debt through December 31, 2011.  KCP&L had not utilized any of this authorized amount as of June 30, 2011.
 
In December 2010, FERC authorized KCP&L to have outstanding at any time up to a total of $1.0 billion in short-term debt instruments through December 2012 conditioned on KCP&L’s borrowing costs not exceeding the greater of: (i) 4.25% over LIBOR; (ii) the greater of 2.25% over the prime rate, 2.75% over the federal funds rate, and 3.25% over LIBOR; or (iii) 4.25% over the A2/P-2 nonfinancial commercial paper rate most recently published by the Federal Reserve at the time of the borrowing.  The authorization is subject to four restrictions: (i) proceeds of debt backed by utility assets must be used for utility purposes; (ii) if any utility assets that secure authorized debt are divested or spun off, the debt must follow the assets and also be divested or spun off; (iii) if any proceeds of the authorized debt are used for non-utility purposes, the debt must follow the non-utility assets (specifically, if the non-utility assets are divested or spun off, then a proportionate share of the debt must follow the divested or spun off non-utility assets); and (iv) if utility assets financed by the authorized short-term debt are divested or spun off to another entity, a proportionate share of the debt must also be divested or spun off.  At June 30, 2011, there was $523.3 million available under this authorization.
 
In March 2010, and modified in April 2010, FERC authorized GMO to have outstanding at any time up to a total of $500.0 million of short-term debt through March 2012, conditioned on GMO’s borrowing costs not exceeding 4.3% over LIBOR, the prime rate or federal funds rate, as applicable, and subject to the same four restrictions as the KCP&L FERC short-term authorization discussed in the preceding paragraph.  At June 30, 2011, there was $435.0 million available under this authorization.  In July 2010, FERC authorized GMO to issue up to a total of $850.0 million of long-term debt, including intercompany debt, through July 2012 and subject to the same four restrictions as the KCP&L FERC short-term authorization discussed in the preceding paragraph.  At June 30, 2011, there was $253.9 million available under this authorization.
 
KCP&L and GMO are also authorized by FERC to participate in the Great Plains Energy money pool, an internal financing arrangement in which funds may be lent on a short-term basis to KCP&L and GMO.  At June 30, 2011, KCP&L had an outstanding payable under the money pool of $4.4 million to GMO and GMO had an outstanding payable of $0.4 million to Great Plains Energy.
 
Debt Agreements
See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of revolving credit facilities.
 
Pensions
The Company maintains defined benefit plans for substantially all active and inactive employees of KCP&L, GMO and WCNOC and incurs significant costs in providing the plans.  Funding of the plans follows legal and regulatory requirements with funding equaling or exceeding the minimum requirements of ERISA.  Year to date June 30, 2011, the Company contributed $31.6 million to the pension plans and expects to contribute an
 
73
 
 
additional $82.2 million in 2011 to satisfy the ERISA funding requirements and the MPSC and KCC rate orders, with the majority expected to be paid by KCP&L.
 
Additionally, the Company provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees and expects to make benefit contributions of $17.1 million under the provisions of these plans in 2011, with the majority paid by KCP&L.
 
Management believes the Company has adequate access to capital resources through cash flows from operations or through existing lines of credit to support these funding requirements.

$ 514.2   $ 533.7     (4 )                  
(a) Gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. See explanation of gross margin under Great Plains Energy's
Results of Operations.
                                     
KCP&L’s gross margin decreased $12.5 million and $19.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily due to:
 
·  
unfavorable weather driven by a 12% decrease in cooling degree days;
 
75
 
 
·  
a decrease in weather-normalized retail demand;
 
·  
a $2.9 million and $7.5 million increase for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, in coal transportation costs not recovered in KCP&L’s Missouri retail rates where there is no fuel recovery mechanism, prior to new rates effective May 4, 2011; and
 
·  
an estimated $11 million impact from an extended refueling outage at Wolf Creek, which resulted in less generation available for wholesale sales, increased fuel expense due to the use of more coal in the fuel mix, which has a higher cost compared to nuclear fuel, and increased purchased power expense due to an increase in MWhs purchased.  Wolf Creek’s latest refueling outage began on March 19, 2011, and included several increases in work scope that extended the outage.  Primary components of the increased work scope were related to inspection and repair of essential service water system piping, testing and replacement of underground high voltage cables, and a repair of a ground on the main generator rotor.  During the last week of June 2011 before the unit returned to full capacity, Wolf Creek had an unplanned outage related to one of two main feed pumps.  Wolf Creek returned to 100% capacity in early July 2011.
 
These decreases were partially offset by new retail rates effective December 1, 2010, and May 4, 2011, for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri, respectively.
 
KCP&L Other Operating Expenses (including operating and maintenance expenses, general taxes and other)
KCP&L’s other operating expenses increased $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to:
 
·  
a $2.0 million increase in plant operating and maintenance expenses primarily due to Iatan No. 2 expenses being recognized with Kansas rates effective December 1, 2010, and Missouri rates effective May 4, 2011 and
 
·  
a $2.5 million increase in general taxes driven by increased property taxes.
 
KCP&L’s other operating expenses increased $16.4 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to:
 
·  
a $3.0 million increase in plant operating and maintenance expenses primarily due to Iatan No. 2 expenses being recognized with Kansas rates effective December 1, 2010, and Missouri rates May 4, 2011;
 
·  
a $5.2 million increase in general taxes driven by increased property taxes; and
 
·  
as a result of disallowances in the MPSC rate order, KCP&L recognized losses of $1.5 million for construction costs related to Iatan No. 2 and to the Iatan No. 1 environmental project.  KCP&L also recognized a $2.4 million loss for other disallowed costs in the MPSC rate order.
 
KCP&L Voluntary Separation Program
KCP&L recorded expense of $2.4 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, related to the voluntary separation program reflecting severance and related payroll taxes provided by KCP&L to employees who elected to voluntarily separate from KCP&L.
 
At June 30, 2011, there was no material pension settlement charge from the voluntary separation program as a result of accelerated pension distributions.  KCP&L will continue to assess if a material pension settlement charge may result from additional accelerated pension distributions subsequent to June 30, 2011.  If a pension settlement charge is incurred, the KCP&L expects to defer the charge and recover it over future periods pursuant to existing and past regulatory agreements.  The amount of accelerated pension distributions resulting from the voluntary separation program may also result in increased pension funding requirements in 2011 under ERISA.
 
KCP&L Depreciation and Amortization
KCP&L’s depreciation and amortization costs decreased $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 due to a $6.2 million decrease attributable to lower depreciation rates for
 
76
 
 
KCP&L effective December 1, 2010, for Kansas and May 4, 2011, for Missouri and a $15.3 million decrease in regulatory amortization for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri.  The regulatory amortization was in effect during KCP&L’s Comprehensive Energy Plan but concluded following the December 2010 and May 2011 effective dates of new retail rates for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri, respectively.  These decreases were partially offset by depreciation for Iatan No. 2, as well as increased depreciation expense for other capital additions.
 
KCP&L’s depreciation and amortization costs decreased $24.2 million year to date June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 due to a $15.7 million decrease attributable to lower depreciation rates for KCP&L and a $23.6 million decrease in regulatory amortization for KCP&L in Kansas and Missouri.  These decreases were partially offset by $6.2 million of depreciation for Iatan No. 2, as well as increased depreciation expense for other capital additions.
 
KCP&L Non-operating Income and Expenses
KCP&L’s non-operating income and expenses decreased $7.9 million and $16.4 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily due to a decrease in the equity component of AFUDC resulting from a lower average construction work in progress balance due to Iatan No. 2 being placed in service in the third quarter of 2010.

KCP&L Interest Charges
KCP&L’s interest charges increased $5.3 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010.  A decrease of $7.3 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, in the debt component of AFUDC resulting from a lower average construction work in progress balance due to Iatan No. 2 being placed in service in the third quarter of 2010 was partially offset by the deferral to a regulatory asset of construction accounting carrying costs for Iatan No. 1, Iatan No. 2 and common facilities.
 
KCP&L Income Tax Expense
KCP&L’s income tax expense decreased $5.3 million and $14.0 million for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily due to decreased pre-tax income.
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Great Plains Energy and KCP&L are exposed to market risks associated with commodity price and supply, interest rates and equity prices.  Market risks are handled in accordance with established policies, which may include entering into various derivative transactions.  In the normal course of business, Great Plains Energy and KCP&L also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable.  Such risks principally include business, legal, regulatory, operational and credit risks and are discussed elsewhere in this document as well as in the 2010 Form 10-K and therefore are not represented here.
 
Great Plains Energy and KCP&L interim period disclosures about market risk included in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q address material changes, if any, from the most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K.  Therefore, these interim period disclosures should be read in connection with Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, included in the 2010 Form 10-K for each of Great Plains Energy and KCP&L, incorporated herein by reference.
 
MPS Merchant is exposed to credit risk.  Credit risk is measured by the loss that would be recorded if counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of the contractual obligations less the value of any collateral held.  MPS Merchant’s counterparties are not externally rated.  Credit exposure, comprised of accounts receivable and fair value of financial instruments, to counterparties at June 30, 2011, was $18.9 million.

ARTICLE I
 
PROVISIONS RELATING TO JOINT FACILITIES


1.           Joint Facility Defined.  The Company may from time to time have entered or may in the future enter into agreements for the joint construction, ownership and/or operation of a physical plant and/or facilities for the generation, transmission and/or distribution of energy as a tenant in common or such other ownership structure as the Company, under the circumstances, may deem fit or appropriate (each such jointly owned plant or facility herein referred to as a “Joint Facility”).
 
2.           Extent of Lien, Procedures Clarified.  The parties, by this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture hereby declare the extent to which the lien of the Indenture shall attach to such Joint Facility or property associated therewith, and also confirm the appropriate procedures to be followed in bonding property additions constituting a portion of a Joint Facility owned by the Company and another party.
 
3.           Indenture and Supplemental Indentures.  The provisions regarding Joint Facilities are hereby made a part of the Indenture, as supplemented by each of the Prior Supplemental Indentures, with the same effect and as fully as though included therein at the date of its initial execution.
 







4.           Joint Facility, Ownership.  In the case of any Joint Facility, the Company may enter into one or more principal agreements with regard to ownership, maintenance and operation of the Joint Facility, and which agreements may specify the percentage or fraction of the Joint Facility which the Company will own and the percentage or fraction of the cost  of the Joint Facility which the Company shall pay or acquire.  Such ownership by the Company in a Joint Facility may consist of an equitable or legal title to an undivided interest in the Joint Facility, the right to take a percentage of the power from the Joint Facility, or rights to specified contractual interests in various portions of the Joint Facility and the real estate associated therewith.
 
5.              Mortgaged Property May Include Joint Facility Interest.  The portion of any Joint Facility in which the Company shall have an equitable, legal or contractual interest shall be eligible to be Mortgaged Property or after acquired additions thereto in accordance with the definition of Mortgaged Property in Section 1.03(bb) of Article I of the Indenture.  The Company may exercise such discretion with regard to any one or more such Joint Facilities, and the election as to a Joint Facility shall not obligate the Company to make a similar election as to any other Joint Facility.
 
Additionally, if the agreement(s) with regard to a Joint Facility separately provide for the Company’s interest in a non-productive portion of the Joint Facility or a portion to be used in common with facilities which are productive, then the Company may, at it’s option, elect to treat the benefits the Company is to receive from such non-productive or in common portion as included in the percentage or fraction of benefits the Company is to receive from the Joint Facility.
 
6.              Bonded or Bondable Property.  Bondable Property, in Section 1.03(h) of Article I of the Indenture, may include that portion of any Joint Facility in which the Company shall have an equitable, legal or contractual interest.  An Engineer’s Certificate, if required under Section 3.04(c) of Article III of the Indenture, shall identify the interest in the Joint Facility acquired by Company.
 
The Company’s interest in a Joint Facility shall be applicable to any calculations required in the event of release of property under Article X, Section 10.03 of the Indenture, and in preparing the Engineer’s Certificate for released property under Section 10.03(b) of Article X of the Indenture and any certificate for acquired property under Section 10.03(c) thereof, the Engineer shall include the Company’s interest in a Joint Facility in the calculation of Fair Value of Mortgaged Property, but only to the extent which corresponds to the Company’s ownership interest as established in this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, and shall exclude the value of other Joint Facility owners’ ownership interests therein.
 
Such determination may also be applicable to establishing the value of Mortgaged Property for an Accountant’s Certificate under Section 10.03(d) of Article X of the Indenture and any opinion of counsel under Section 10.03(f) thereof.  Similarly, the Company’s portion of the aggregate ownership interests in a Joint Facility may be applicable to any calculations required in the event of release of a limited amount of such property under Section 10.04 of Article X of the Indenture, and in preparing the Engineer’s Certificate for released property under Section 10.04(b) thereof, the Engineer shall include only that portion of the interest in a Joint Facility that represents the Company’s ownership interest in such Joint Facility in the calculation of Fair Value of Mortgaged Property as established in this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture and shall exclude the value of other Joint Facility owners’ ownership interests therein.  Such calculations may also be applicable to establishing the value of Mortgaged Property for an Accountant’s Certificate under Section 10.04(c) of Article X of the Indenture and any opinion of counsel under Section 10.04(e) thereof.
 
     7.           Change in Joint Facility Interest, Effect.  A change in the Company’s interest in a Joint Facility under the agreement(s) to which the Company is a party with respect to such Joint Facility, shall not be considered an acquisition or disposition of property for the purposes of the Indenture where such change is effective concurrently with a change in the Company’s obligations associated with such change in Company’s interest in the Joint Facility, provided that the Company’s obligations under the agreements to

 
 




Company is a party for ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Joint Facility remains substantially proportional to the Company’s percentage or fractional ownership interest in the Joint Facility.
 
8.           Lien In Joint Facility, Interest.  The Lien of the Indenture in and to the Mortgaged Property under the Indenture and each of the Prior Supplemental Indentures identified in the Recitals (save and except the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Ninth and Tenth Supplemental Indentures which have been satisfied) as so clarified by this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, is intended to be and by these presents is hereby ratified and affirmed .  The Lien of the Indenture shall be effective and attach to the extent of such undivided interest(s) in a Joint Facility as the Company shall be entitled to under its various agreements with respect to the Joint Facility.
 
9.           Impact of Certain Rights.  The lien of the Indenture shall be subordinate to any waiver of the right of partition or to any buy-sell agreement or similar agreement affecting the Company’s right to take physical possession of its interest in the Joint Facility entered into prior to or simultaneously with the time legal title to the Company’s interest in the Joint Facility is acquired by or transferred to the Company and which does not materially adversely affect the usefulness of the Joint Facility to the Company.
 
10.           Impact of Changes in Joint Facility Interests.  If and as the ownership fraction or percentage of the Company in the Joint Facility may be changed by agreement with the other parties or as a result of additional construction, casualty or destruction, no releases shall be required of the Trustee to limit the lien of the Indenture to the fraction or percentage of the Joint Facility from time to time owned by the Company as established in the agreement(s) applicable to such Joint Facility, and the lien of the Indenture shall not extend to or otherwise affect any portion of the Joint Facility other than the fraction or percentage of the Joint Facility that is proportional to the Company’s ownership interest in the Joint Facility (as defined in Sections 4, 6 and 7 above), it being understood that in such circumstances the portion of the Joint Facility subject to the lien of the Indenture will vary from time to time depending on the state of accounts between the parties to each such Joint Facility agreement.
 
11.           Disproportionate Conversion.  If, pursuant to or through a change in the Company’s agreement(s) with respect to a Joint Facility, the Company’s percentage or fractional interest in such Joint Facility is changed in a manner that is disproportionate to the interest it possessed prior to said change, then the Company may elect to treat such change as an acquisition or disposition of property.  In the absence of such election, the provisions of Article I, Section 10 above shall apply.
 
12.           Opinion of Counsel, Joint Facility.  In the case of a Joint Facility, the opinion of counsel required by Section 3.04(f) of Article III of the Indenture shall additionally provide that the Company is a party to an agreement giving the Company an undivided ownership interest or interests in the Joint Facility, including, if applicable any rights to receive output from the operations of the Joint Facility.  In giving such opinion, counsel may rely on the opinion of counsel for any of the joint owners with respect to matters handled by such counsel, or the recitals and covenants of each such joint ownership, operations or maintenance agreement(s) for the relevant Joint Facility to which Company is a party by execution, succession by merger or assignment.  In the case of a Joint Facility, the fact that operation of the Joint Facility may be pursuant to an operating agreement under which the Company is not the operating agent for the joint owners shall not be deemed inconsistent with the Company’s corporate power to own and operate such Joint Facility.
 
13.           Condition Precedent.  The application of Article I, Sections 7 and 10, as may be applicable in the circumstances, to a change in the Company’s ownership fraction or percentage in a Joint Facility is expressly conditioned on the requirement that, immediately after such change, the Fair Value of the Mortgaged Property (including any Bondable Property to be acquired by the Company with the proceeds of, or otherwise in connection with, such change) equals or exceeds an amount equal to 133 1/3% of the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds and Prior Lien Bonds then outstanding.

Exhibit 10.1


RETIREMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Retirement and Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Great Plains Energy Incorporated, Kansas City Power & Light Company (“KCP&L”) and KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (“GMO”) (collectively, the “Company”), and William H. Downey (the “Executive”) as of May 20, 2011 (the “Effective Date”).  Each of the Company and the Executive is a “Party”, and collectively they are the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, Executive currently serves as a Director and the Executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that Executive will retire and resign from his positions with the Company and its subsidiaries effective at the close of business on August 31, 2011 (the “Retirement Date”), and

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that Executive will provide services to the Company as a consultant from September 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 (the “Consulting Period”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions related to Executive’s retirement, as well as the consulting services to be provided following such retirement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.  Executive’s Retirement.  Executive shall retire and resign from his positions with the Company and its subsidiaries effective at the close of business on the Retirement Date, without any further action required by Executive or the Company.  Executive will be paid his normal salary and benefits through the Retirement Date.  After the Retirement Date, in accordance with the Company’s normal policy, the Company shall pay Executive a lump sum cash payment of all earned and unpaid salary and any accrued but unused vacation days owed to Executive as of his Retirement Date.  Executive also shall receive such benefits as are provided Executive under Company's plans and programs in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs and this Agreement.  Such benefits shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, vested retirement benefits under the Management Pension Plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the 401(k) Plan, the letter agreement between the Company and Executive dated as of August 5, 2008 and the Deferred Compensation Plan.

2.  Consulting Services.

(a)  During the Consulting Period, Executive shall provide consulting services to the Company with respect to strategic and operational matters regarding the Company’s business

 
 1


 
and to assist Executive’s successor, as reasonably requested by the Board of Directors or the Company’s officers (the “Consulting Services”). The Company shall exercise reasonable efforts to avoid conflicts between such requested Consulting Services and Executive’s other commitments, and Executive shall exercise reasonable efforts to fulfill the Company’s consulting requests in a timely manner, notwithstanding Executive’s other commitments.

(b)  In consideration for the Consulting Services, Executive shall be paid a consulting fee of $100,000, which shall be paid in a lump sum within ten days after the Retirement Date. The Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Consulting Services, provided that Executive submits receipts for such expenses in a manner consistent with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures.

(c)  Executive agrees that except as otherwise provided herein, any and all Company property in his possession shall be returned on his Retirement Date, except that during the Consulting Period, Executive shall retain and have the use of the Company-provided cell phone, at the Company’s expense, and Executive shall also retain his current access to the Company’s physical and computer network facilities.  It is agreed and understood that Executive may retain his Company-provided personal digital assistant device at no charge, and Executive shall be solely responsible for any and all expenses related to such device after the end of the Consulting Period.  In addition, following the Consulting Period and after the Company has removed from Executive’s Company-provided home computer all Company confidential information and Developed Material, Executive may retain his Company-provided home computer at no charge.  However, after the end of the Consulting Period, Executive shall be responsible at his own expense for obtaining any necessary licenses for software remaining on said computer.

(d)  Executive assigns to the Company all materials, research, plans, specifications, works of authorship and other data and intellectual property generated, conceived or developed in connection with the Consulting Services (the “Developed Material”) and any resulting patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights.  Works of authorship in any form of expression, including, manuals, plans, specifications and software developed in connection with the Consulting Services, are “works for hire” and belong exclusively to the Company. Executive will take all reasonable actions, at the Company’s expense, necessary to transfer to the Company all of Executive’s rights in and to the Developed Material.

(e)  It is the expectation and intent of the Parties that the Consulting Services will, from the start of the Consulting Period and thereafter, consist of services equal to or less than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services performed by Executive for the Company during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36)-month period and therefore Executive’s termination of employment on the Retirement Date will constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

(f)  It is the Parties’ intent that Executive shall render services to the Company during the Consulting Period in the capacity of an independent contractor, and not as an employee of the Company. Accordingly, Executive shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes on amounts received from the Company for the Consulting Services, and during the Consulting Period, the

 
 
 2


 
provision of the Consulting Services pursuant to this Agreement will not entitle Executive to be eligible to participate in any Company employee benefit plan, except to the extent that such plans permit retired employee participation.

3.  Outstanding Equity and Incentive Compensation Awards; Bonus; Ayco Services; Reimbursement.
 
 
(a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”), Executive shall be entitled to payment of Executive’s 2011 AIP award in accordance with the terms and conditions of such award as if Executive’s employment with the Company had not terminated prior to the payment of such award.  In determining the award amount to be paid, Executive shall be deemed to have achieved the target level of the individual performance component of the award.

(b)  Executive has received awards of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”) and performance shares (“Performance Share Awards”) under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) that have not vested or been paid.  These outstanding Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Share Awards shall be treated as follows:

(i)  All Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Share Awards granted to Executive in 2011 shall be forfeited by Executive on the Retirement Date.

(ii)  All other Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Share Awards granted to Executive shall not be forfeited, but shall continue in full force and effect without proration as if the Executive’s employment had not terminated prior to the lapse of the applicable Restricted Stock Awards restrictions or the payment of the applicable Performance Share Awards.

(iii)  Except as described above, Executive’s AIP award, Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Share Awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the agreements evidencing such awards as well as the AIP and LTIP, as applicable.

(c)  Executive shall be paid a discretionary bonus of $306,000 within fifteen days of his Retirement Date.

(d)  The Parties acknowledge that services will be rendered by The Ayco Company, L.P. (“Ayco”) to the Executive and paid by the Company, pursuant to the terms of the agreement dated as of February 16, 2006 between Ayco and the Company, for a period of one year from his Retirement Date.  Executive acknowledges that the value of such services shall continue to be imputed as income to the Executive.

(e)  In addition, Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable incidental expenses incurred through December 31, 2013, related to his membership and positions with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.
