(KAIR)--An early Christmas gift for some customers of Westar Energy.
According to a news release from the energy provider, credits were applied to accounts for residential customers with active service as of December 1.
The news release says the credits are related to savings stemming from the company’s merger with Great Plains Energy as well as from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
Westar credits about $15 dollars of the savings on the merger and the near $35 savings on the federal tax cut.
The release notes that the amounts credited are based on electricity use between November, 2017 and October, 2018, with the credits to appear on either December or January Westar bills, depending on when a customer’s bill is issued.
The release calls the merger savings credit the first of five annual credits, while the tax savings credit is a one-time credit.
