Kansas
 |
 |
| Kansas has the 26th lowest retail electricity prices in
the nation. The 2000 state average rate of $62.60/MWh was 7 percent
below the national average retail rate. Being a Midwestern rural state,
Kansas has relatively high distribution costs and low cost coal generation.
In 2000, 73 percent of in-state utility generation was from coal-fired
stations. These stations had delivered coal costs of only $0.98/MMBtu.
Kansas's $1.4 billion nuclear investment also pushed rates higher. |
