Exhibit 10.1.dd

GUARANTY

       This Guaranty, dated as of March 1, 2004, is made by Great Plains Energy Incorporated (herein called "Guarantor"), a Missouri corporation with its principal place of business located at 1201 Walnut, Kansas City, Missouri 64106, in favor of The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (herein called "Creditor") with its principal place of business located at 139 East 4^th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201.

       In order to induce Creditor to enter into, from time to time, agreements or contracts, including but not limited to those related to Creditor's Certified Supplier Tariff and Customer Choice Program as may be in effect from time to time (herein collectively called the "Agreements") with Strategic Energy, L.L.C. (herein called "Debtor"), a Delaware limited liability company and a related company of Guarantor (Guarantor has an indirect ownership interest in Debtor), with its principal place of business located at Two Gateway Center, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Guarantor acknowledges adequate consideration and hereby agrees as follows:

       Section 1.  Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the punctual and complete payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), of any and all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations under the Agreements of Debtor to Creditor now or hereafter existing, whether absolute or contingent, joint and/or several, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect (all such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations are being herein collectively called the "Obligations"). This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Guarantor acknowledges that it is jointly and severally liable for payment of the Obligations.

       Section 2.  Demands. If Debtor fails or refuses to pay any Obligations when due, and Creditor elects to exercise its rights under this Guaranty, Creditor shall make a demand upon Guarantor (hereinafter referred to as a "Payment Demand"). A Payment Demand shall be in writing and shall reasonably and briefly specify in what manner and what amount Debtor has failed to pay and an explanation of why such payment is due, with a specific statement that Creditor is calling upon Guarantor to pay under this Guaranty. A Payment Demand satisfying the foregoing requirements when delivered to Guarantor pursuant to Section 7 of this Guaranty shall be required with respect to Obligations before Guarantor is required to pay such Obligations hereunder and shall be deemed sufficient notice to Guarantor that it must pay the Obligations within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Payment Demand. A single written Payment Demand that complies with the terms of this Section 2 shall be effective as to any specific failure to pay during the continuance of such failure to pay, until Debtor or Guarantor has cured such failure to pay, and additional written demands concerning such failure to pay shall not be required until such failure to pay is cured.

       Section 3. Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2, 5 or 8 hereof, Guarantor hereby waives:

       (a)     notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, of the creation and/or existence of any of the Obligations and of any action by Creditor in reliance hereon or in connection herewith;

Page 1

       (b)     promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, protest and notice of protest with respect to the Obligations; and

       (c)     any requirement that suit be brought against, or any other action by Creditor be taken against, or any notice of default or other notice be given to, or any demand be made on, the Debtor or any other person, or that any other action be taken or not taken as a condition to Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty or as a condition to enforcement of this Guaranty against Guarantor.

       Except as to applicable statutes of limitation or repose, no delay of Creditor in the exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights, a waiver of any other rights or a release of Guarantor from any obligations hereunder.

       Guarantor consents to the renewal, compromise, extension, acceleration or other changes in the time of payment of or other changes in the terms of the Obligations, or any part thereof or any changes or modifications to the terms of the Agreements (collectively, "Changes"); however, such consent shall not be deemed to add to, delete from, or modify any of the terms and conditions of this Guaranty. Creditor shall take reasonable efforts to seasonably notify Guarantor of any Changes; provided that Creditor's failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of such Changes or Guarantor's obligations hereunder.

       Section 4.  Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Creditor as follows:

       (a)     Guarantor is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and is duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the character of the assets and properties owned or held under lease by it requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Guarantor. Guarantor has all requisite power and authority, organizational or otherwise, to conduct in all material respects its business and to own, or hold under lease, its material assets or properties and to execute and deliver, and perform all of its obligations under this Guaranty;

       (b)     The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty are within the Guarantor's organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene the organizing documents of Guarantor or any law or material contractual restriction binding on or affecting Guarantor; and

       (c)     This Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability of this Guaranty may be limited by the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors rights generally and by general principles of equity.

       Section 5.  Setoffs and Counterclaims. Without limiting Guarantor's own defenses and rights hereunder, Guarantor reserves to itself all rights, setoffs, counterclaims and other defenses to which Debtor or any other affiliate of Guarantor is or may be entitled to, relating to or arising from or out of the Agreements or otherwise, except for defenses relating to, arising from or out of the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of Debtor.

       Section 6.  Amendments, etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Creditor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
