GLASS LEWIS RECOMMENDS AQUILA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSED

MERGER WITH GREAT PLAINS ENERGY

KANSAS CITY, MO. Sept. 24, 2007. Aquila Inc. (NYSE:ILA) today announced that Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC, an independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that Aquila shareholders vote “FOR” the merger agreement providing for the acquisition of Aquila by Great Plains Energy Incorporated (NYSE:GXP).

Under the merger agreement, Aquila shareholders will receive cash and stock consideration of $1.80 and 0.0856 of a share of Great Plains Energy common stock in exchange for each share of Aquila common stock they hold. Upon completion of the transaction, Aquila will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Plains Energy.

“We are pleased to receive the support of Glass Lewis for our proposed merger with Great Plains Energy,” said Rick Green, Chairman, President and CEO of Aquila. “We believe that this merger maximizes shareholder value and provides the best opportunity for our shareholders to hold stock in a growing, investment-grade company that pays a dividend. We urge all Aquila shareholders to vote today in favor of the merger.”

As previously announced, Aquila will hold a special meeting of its stockholders to vote on the proposed merger at 10 a.m. (Central Time) on Oct. 9, 2007, at Adams Pointe Conference Center, 1400 NE Coronado Drive, Blue Springs, Mo.

In Feb. 2007, the company announced the merger of its Missouri electric operations with Great Plains Energy, and the sale of its Colorado electric operation and its natural gas operations in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska to Black Hills Corp. At the beginning of 2007, Aquila's assets totaled $3.5 billion. Sales for 2006 were $1.4 billion and net income was $23.9 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals, Aquila expects the merger to close in the first quarter of 2008.

Aquila is a Kansas City, Mo., based electric and natural gas distribution utility company that serves over 900,000 customers in five Midwestern states (Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska). The company also owns and operates generation assets. More information is available at Aquila.com.
