The Missouri Supreme Court has upheld the state Public Service Commission’s approval of a 2008 merger between Great Plains Energy and Aquilia. Great Plains Energy spokesperson Chuck Caisley says customers will not notice anything different.

The court ruled the possible concerns about gift policies and private meetings were not sufficient reasons to reject the merger.

Great Plains Energy is the parent company of Kansas City Power and Light.
