On July 1, 2015, KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (“GMO”) submitted a tariff sheet designed to implement an adjustment to its Fuel and Purchased Power Adjustment Clause for the accumulation period ending May, 2015. The tariff sheet bears an effective date of September 1, 2015.
Pursuant to Commission Rule 4 CSR 240-20.090(4), the Commission’s Staff shall submit a recommendation regarding the proposed adjustment no later than 30 days after the tariff’s filing. No later than 60 days after receiving the proposed adjustment, the Commission must: (1) enter an interim rate adjustment; or (2) approve or reject the tariff as submitted; or (3) allow the tariff to go into effect by operation of law. Consequently, the Commission shall issue notice, set an intervention deadline, and direct its Staff to file a recommendation.
Commission Rule 4 CSR 240-3.161(10) provides that parties to the rate case in which the Commission established GMO’s fuel adjustment clause are automatically parties to this tariff case without the necessity of having to apply for intervention. The Commission therefore acknowledges that the parties to File No. ER‑2012‑0175 are parties to this case, and will direct its Data Center to add those parties to the service list.
