31 August 2007 -- Westar Energy, Inc. plans to spend $465 million to reduce regulated emissions from its coal-fired Jeffrey Energy Center, the largest of its 12 power stations. The environmental project and others outlined in a proposed agreement filed with the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment are aimed at meeting requirements of the Clean Air Visibility Rule and reduce emissions over the utility's entire generating fleet by eliminating more than 70 percent of sulfur dioxide and reducing nitrous oxides and particulates between 50 percent and 65 percent.

Plans call for rebuilding sulfur dioxide scrubbers and installing low nitrous oxide emissions systems and precipitators on each of the plant's three units. The filing with state regulators also included an application to improve Jeffrey Energy Center plant efficiency, which will increase production.
