This combined Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished by Great Plains Energy Incorporated (Great Plains Energy) and Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L).  KCP&L is a wholly owned subsidiary of Great Plains Energy and represents a significant portion of its assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and operations.  Thus, all information contained in this report relates to, and is furnished by, Great Plains Energy.  Information that is specifically identified in this report as relating solely to Great Plains Energy, such as its financial statements and all information relating to Great Plains Energy’s other operations, businesses and subsidiaries, including Aquila, Inc., which does business as KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (KCP&L GMO) does not relate to, and is not furnished by, KCP&L.  KCP&L makes no representation as to that information.  Neither Great Plains Energy nor KCP&L GMO has any obligation in respect of KCP&L’s debt securities and holders of such securities should not consider Great Plains Energy’s or KCP&L GMO’s financial resources or results of operations in making a decision with respect to KCP&L’s debt securities.  Similarly, KCP&L has no obligation in respect of securities of Great Plains Energy or KCP&L GMO.

Item 8.01 Other Information

On April 21, 2009, KCP&L and other parties to KCP&L’s pending rate case before the Missouri Public Service Commission (the “MPSC”) informed the MPSC that they had reached an agreement in principle to settle the pending rate case.  The document filed with the MPSC setting forth the terms of the agreement in principle and a press release announcing the agreement in principle are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively and are incorporated herein by reference.  The agreement in principle provides, among other things, for an increase in annual revenues of approximately $95 million effective September 1, 2009, with $10 million of that amount treated for accounting purposes as additional amortization.  Parties may challenge the prudence of the cost of the Iatan Unit No. 1 environmental project and the cost of facilities used in common by Iatan Units No. 1 and No. 2 in KCP&L’s next rate case, but the Missouri jurisdictional portion of any proposed rate base prudence disallowances will not exceed $30 million in aggregate.

The agreement in principle is subject to the parties negotiating and submitting a stipulation and agreement (the “agreement”) to the MPSC for its consideration.  The agreement will be subject to MPSC approval, and will be voidable if not approved in its entirety.  It is possible that the MPSC may approve the agreement with changes, or may not approve the agreement.
