Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 5, 2008, KCP&L filed a rate increase request with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), requesting an additional $71.6 million in annual revenues, with approximately $11.2 million of that amount treated for accounting purposes as an increase to KCP&L's depreciation reserve. KCP&L and certain other parties to the proceedings filed on June 18, 2009, a Joint Stipulation and Agreement (Agreement) with the KCC, containing a negotiated settlement of the rate increase request. A copy of the agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Agreement provides for, among other things, an increase in annual revenues of $59 million, with $18 million of that amount treated for accounting purposes as an increase to KCP&L's depreciation reserve. The Agreement also requests that the increase be effective August 1, 2009. Parties may challenge the prudence of the cost of the Iatan Unit No. 1 environmental project and the cost of facilities used in common by Iatan Units No.1 and No. 2 in KCP&L's next rate case, but the Kansas jurisdictional portion of any proposed rate base prudence disallowances will not exceed (i) $4.7 million for costs paid or approved for payment as of April 30, 2009 and in-service as of July 4, 2009, and (ii) $2.8 million for the first $56 million of costs not paid or approved for payment as of April 30, 2009. There is no cap as to the amount of disallowances that may be proposed for costs above this $56 million amount.

The parties to the Agreement are KCP&L, the Staff of the KCC, the Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. is a co-owner, with KCP&L and other utilities, of Iatan Unit No. 2 and Wolf Creek Generating Station.

The Agreement is subject to KCC approval, and is voidable if the KCC does not approve and adopt the terms of the Agreement in total. It is possible that the KCC may approve the Agreement with changes, or may not approve the Agreement.
