ORDER GRANTING INTERVENTION

AND ADOPTING PROPOSED PROCEDURAL SCHEDULE

 

Issue Date:  September 11, 2013                     Effective Date:  September 11, 2013

 

 

On September 10, 2013, Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L) filed the above-referenced application and revised tariff sheet under HB 142; which amends Section 393.1030, RSMO.  KCP&L greater Missouri Operations filed a similar request,[1]  which is set for hearing on October 3 and 4, 2013.  KCP&L requests that parties to that case be made parties to this case without having to file an application to intervene.  The revised Section requires the Commission to rule on this application within 60 days.  The Commission realizes that setting a period to allow for interventions will hamper completion of this matter within the time frame required under the amended section.  The Commission will therefore grant intervention to all parties in File No. ET-2014-0059.

KCP&L also proposes a procedural schedule that is similar in time frame to the procedural schedule in File No. ET-2014-0059.  The Commission will approve the proposed schedule.  However, The Commission must dispose of this matter no later than Saturday, November 9, 2013.  In order to preserve due time for the Commission to consider this case after its submission, the Commission will shorten the time by which the parties must file briefs.

THE COMMISSION ORDERS THAT:

1.               All parties in Commission File No. ET-2014-0059 are granted intervention in this matter.
