New Construction

Anticipating and Controlling Costs:

The decisions you make regarding service size and distribution can result in additional construction costs. Remember, too, that costs to provide service in rural settings can be higher than in cities where distribution lines are closer and readily accessible.

Start planning early and your KCP&L representative can help you identify potential costs so you can anticipate and control them.

The Electric Service Standards manual is your complete planning reference for electric service construction and meter installation. For a complete schedule of KCP&L's construction charges, consult the latest edition available online in Adobe Acrobat Format.
