Committed to improving the total living environment of the communities we serve

1. Comprehensive Energy Plan & Energy Efficiency Overview September 2008 Committed to improving the total living environment of the communities we serve

2. Operating in a Changing Environment The Challenge:Meet growing needs of community in rising price environment • Increasing economic uncertainty • Increasing environmental regulation • Fewer viable options to supply demand • Globalization of utility suppliers • Greater expectations from customers

3. Energy efficiency can become a very important solution. • We must define a shared commitment to energy efficiency among the company, customers and communities we serve. • Energy efficiency addresses this challenge by: • Establishing a “first” fuel resource • Allowing for a more effective use of scarce resources • Providing customers with more information and control over their energy usage • Increasing energy independence

4. GPE’s Strategic Intent Our Strategic Intent is a comprehensive plan to make KCP&L an industry leader at supplying and delivering electricity and providing innovative energy solutions to all customers — homeowners, businesses, municipalities and other utilities — for years to come. 26
