The Commission’s rule regarding fuel adjustment clauses requires the Commission’s Staff to examine and analyze the information submitted by the company and to submit a recommendation within 30 days.[1] Staff filed its recommendation on July 30, 2013. Based on its analysis of information filed by KCP&L GMO, Staff recommends that the Commission approve the company’s true-up filing.
