Westar's subsidiary Kansas Gas&Electric Co. (KG&E) also has a business risk profile that is characterized as excellent. The excellent business profile reflects management's success in strengthening regulatory relationships and enhancing the company's creditworthiness based on a straightforward integrated utility business model. It also reflects supportive rate-making mechanisms for cost recovery, relatively low systemwide production costs, solid operational performance, and limited industrial exposure. The offsetting factors are the inherent challenges of owning and operating the Wolf Creek nuclear facility, in which KG&EUSA95942595709T48531495942J95942K55101010 551010 5510 55Westar Energy Inc.101280USAWRSUMMARYGLOBISSUTILGasCredit & Investment ResearchS&P Credit Researchhttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/fitch/390830_report_framefitch/390830_report_framepdfFitch Ratings is a leading global rating agency committed to providing the world's credit markets with independent, timely and prospective credit opinions.

(BBB-/Stable/--) will help to maintain capital structure balance during the company's heavy construction program, but will not affect current ratings. An over-allotment option, if exercised, will bring the total common stock issuance to roughly $168 million. Accelerating capital expenditures concentrate on installation of generating units, improvements to transmission and distribution facilities, and environmental compliance. The proceeds will be used to repay short-term debt that was incurred to fund construction outlays and for general corporate purposes.

(BBB-/Stable/--) are not affected following the company's recent rate filing with the Kansas Corporation Commission for a combined total rate increase of $177.6 million or about 15% for both its north and south regions. If approved, it would help sustain investment-grade credit metrics during Westar's heavy capital expansion program. The request is premised on a 10.95% ROE versus the currently allowed 10%. Rate relief is needed to recover investments made in generation, higher operating expenses, ice storm costs, and for recognition of Emporia Energy Center construction work in progress (CWIP) and wind CWIP.
