Feds probe Westar’s power line use
Federal regulators are looking into whether Westar Energy manipulated use of transmission lines, a practice that would drive up the cost of electricity to consumers.
Utilities schedule capacity on the lines, based on their estimates of how much power their customers will use.
Federal law requires that all utilities be allowed open access to transmission lines.
