 PROFILE
Western Resources' resources include electricity, natural gas, and security monitoring. The company's KPL and KGE utilities, with a generating capacity of about 5,600 MW, serve more than 630,000 electricity customers in Kansas. And 45%-owned ONEOK distributes natural gas to 1.4 million customers in Kansas and Oklahoma. The three utilities also market energy in the US. Another unit, 85%-owned Protection One, offers security services to 1.5 million customers in Europe and North America. Western Resources has assigned its ONEOK and Protection One stakes to a new holding company, Westar Industries, which it plans to spin off to shareholders. It then will sell KPL and KGE to Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM).
