Neighboring Utility Assistance

We have broad resources

When a storm hits and major outages occur, KCP&L has a lot of people willing to step in and help.

We’re members of the Midwest Mutual Assistance Group, a regional electric utility assistance organization whose members help each other restore power when needed.

Before a storm, we’re already in touch with our neighboring utilities, sharing information and pre-planning what help might be needed for post-storm recovery.  

Over time, we’ve developed rules, guidelines, and best practices to assure we’ll work well together in difficult storm recovery conditions.

The U.S. has seven similar regional mutual assistance organizations, and in more significant outages, like the 2011 Joplin tornado, we can call on them for assistance.
