Net MeteringIn May 2009, Kansas passed the Net Metering and Easy Connection Act for Investor Owned Utilities (IOU's) only. That means, customers of Westar, KCP&L, and Empire District can take advantage of this 1 to 1 net metering, but others cannot.

Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)As of May 2009, Kansas passed the Renewable Energy Standards Act, requiring major utilities (not municipal utilities or most Rural Electric Cooperatives) to have 10% of their energy capacity from renewable sources by 2010, 15% by 2016, and 20% by 2020. To meet this, the utilities can purchase Renewable Energy Credits or generate their own power. If they generate their own, then each MW will count as 1.1 MW toward this RPS. Also note that the RPS is based on rated-capacity and not energy produced.
