General Info

Kansas Electric Power Cooperative in Topeka, Kan., was incorporated in 1975 as a nonprofit generation and transmission cooperative. It procures an adequate and reliable power supply for nearly 20 distribution rural electric cooperative members. The members support a wide range of other services, such as rural economic development, marketing and diversification opportunities, power requirement and engineering studies and rate design. KEPCo is governed by a board of trustees representing each of its members, which serve more than 100,000 electric meters in two-thirds of rural Kansas. The coop is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Corporation Commission and was granted a limited certificate of convenience and authority in 1980 to act as a generation and transmission public utility.
