Why the Difference? Two Main Reasons…
1. Actual O&M was less than projected
• The TFR calculates a projected O&M based upon the change in net plant and is automatically calculated as part of the formula

Why the Difference? Two Main Reasons…
2. Actual Revenue Credit was more than projected
• The projected revenue credit is the amount of revenue received by Westar for transmission service which does not come from Network Transmission customers in the Westar pricing Zone
• The Westar TFR always sets the projected revenue credit equal to the amount from the latest FERC Form 1 year (2010)
• Actual 2010 revenues were primarily from point-to-point transmission service
• Since 2010, the amount of revenue coming from Base Plan regional projects built by Westar increased such that most of the revenue Westar receives from Network customers outside the Westar zone is now significantly larger than the revenue from point-to-point transactions
