Plant partner wants rate hike
By United Press International
TOPEKA — The third owner on the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant, Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, yesterday filed for a 40 percent wholesale rate increase that would include start-up costs of the power plant.
KEPCo, which owns 6 percent of the $2.9 billion plant being built near Burlington, asked the Kansas Corporation Commission for a $8.9 million increase to be paid by KEPCo to employees that are members of KEPCO.
KEPCo officials estimated the increase would translate into average retail rate increases ranging from 22 percent to 29 percent for the co-ops' 96,500 customers in the eastern two-thirds of the state.
KCC spokesman Gary Haden said the percentage of increase was smaller for retail customers because the rural electric cooperatives had fewer customers than other utilities and therefore had relatively high per customer costs.
Last week, the two major owners of Wolf Creek, Kansas Gas & Electric Co. and Kansas City Power & Light Co., filed for rate increases of as much as 62 percent to cover the costs of Wolf Creek, which is to begin generating electricity in the spring. KC&E and KCPL each own 47 percent of the nuclear plant.
KEPCo's request also covers accumulation development costs, including the cost of hydroelectric peaking power from the Southwestern Power Administration. KEPCo does not plan to phase in
its increase as KG&E and KCPL have proposed.
The power cooperative is to receive 69 megawatts of power from Wolf Creek, to provide about one-fourth of the rural co-ops' average power requirements. KEPCo members obtain their remaining power mainly through contracts with K&G/E, Central Telephone and Utilities and Kansas Power & Light Co.
Electric cooperative associations that are KEPCo members are Ark Valley, Brown-Atchison, Butler, Caney Valley, CMS, Coffe County, &CW, D&SO, Flint Hills, Jewell-Mittel章, Leavenworth-Jefferson, Lyon County, NCK, Ninnescah, Norton-Decatur, PR&W, Radiant, Sedgwick county, Sekan, Smoky Hill, Smoky Valley, Summer-Cowley, Twin Valley, United and Victory

LINCOLN, Neb. — The 1984 Midwestern Governors' Conference opened yesterday with two of the 10 governors attending expressing hopes that the 23rd annual gathering would address agricultural problems, the legal drinking age and the elimination of leaded fuel.
Nebraska Gov Bob Kerrey said during a news conference that his top priority at the conference would be discussing the "unusual circumstances for agriculture."
Governors to discuss farming
Kerrey said farmers were fighting the high federal deficit and interest rates in their struggle to stay in business.
Noting that a group of farmers planned to march outside the Cornhusker Hotel today in opposition to agricultural problems, Kerrey said
the conference would be a good opportunity for them to express their feelings.
"THEY HAVE LEGITIMATE complaints. They're expressing frustration, they're expressing anger," Kerwer said.
"There is a possibility that this year we might come out united," he said. "It's a long shot."
Gov. Rudy Perpich of Minnesota said he hoped the 10 governors attending the conference could agree on a constitution for the 1985 federal farm bill.
The conference also is being attended by Govs. Robert Orr of Indiana, James Blanchard of Michigan, Christopher Bond of Missouri, Terry Bransham of Iowa, John Carlin of Tennessee, and William Janklow of South Dakota and James Thompson of Illinois.
Govs Richard Celeste of Ohio, Martha L. Collins of Kentucky and Olson Allen of North Dakota are not representative conference but sent representatives.
"THE PURPOSE OF this is to try to pull together in some regional fashion," Kerrey said.
Periph, chairman of the conference, said the topics to be discussed at the conference would include education and trade education and trade technology.
Calling leaded gasoline an environmental problem, Perpich said he hoped the governors would discuss his state's proposal to eliminate the leaded gas by increasing the tax on it but lowering the tax on unleaded fuel
Periph also said he hoped the states would agree to recommend a legal drinking age of 21 throughout the region.
