KansasU. S. Senators have teamed up to introduce a Bill that would provide stable energy rate and reliable power to all Kansans as well as others in the Southwestern Power Pool. U. S. Senator Jerry Moran announced Friday, April 28th, that he and Senator roger Marshall introduced legislation that would provide stable energy rates and a reliable gid to states in the Southwestern Power Administration, including Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Moran says the Southwestern Power Administration Fund Establishment Act would give the SWPA the jurisdiction to operate on a self funding revolving U. S. Department of Treasury Fund to help provide long term stability, allowing the SWPA more stable funds in order to lower customer rates, which can be volatile due to market demand and weather.
Moran says it is critical that Kansans have access to reliable electricity at stable rates, especially during extreme and dangerous weather.
