Contributions in Aid of Construction to Maintain Financial Ratios Sample Clauses

Contributions in Aid of Construction to Maintain Financial Ratios. In Docket No. 01-KCPE-708-MIS, In the Matter of the Application of Kansas City Power & Light Company for an Order Authorizing its Plan to Reorganize Itself into a Holding Company Structure, KCPL agreed to maintain its debt at investment grade. The parties agree that it is desirable for KCPL to take prudent and reasonable actions in its effort to maintain its debt at investment grade levels during the period of the construction expenditures contained in this Agreement. KCPL further understands that it is incumbent upon the Company to take prudent and reasonable actions that do not place its investment grade debt rating at risk and that this Agreement heightens rather than lessens such obligation.

(The term "Resource Plan" includes the capital investments identified in Appendices A and A-1, and the Customer Programs identified in Appendices B and B-1.) The lower financing costs associated with investment grade ratings increases the benefits of the CIAC to ratepayers. The non-KCPL parties reserve the right to recommend CIAC amounts in each rate case such that the CIAC amounts in aggregate do not exceed the expected cost savings from the amortization mechanism and the lower costs of capital resulting from the i...
