ReplyDeleteMy power bill has gone down and I also received a credit last month. I have KCPL and it is all due to the merger with Weststar. Reduced rates that were implemented in late September 2018. Savings were also passed to customers through an initial bill credit in December 2018. I'll also see a bill credit on my February or March bill. The more credits will are to be applied from 2020 – 2022.
