WICHITA, Kansas Utility companies in Kansas will soon have a new accounting tool that could speed the closure of coal-fired power plants and save customers money.
The financial tool is known as securitization. It’s not a new idea, but it is complex. The Kansas Legislature passed a bill approving the use of the tool after more than two years of discussion.
