Moran turns to KMEA for power
MORAN Moran City Council members put in motion Monday a plan to begin purchasing electricity through the Kansas Municipal Energy Agency, starting in mid-2020.
Council members received an updated wholesale energy proposal from KMEA general manager Paul Mahlberg, which is up a tick from what the consortium offered last August.
Morans energy contract with Westar expires in May 2020, marking the earliest the city can begin its agreement with KMEA.
