Kcp&L - Hq: 0.3 TCR = 23% of Electric power generation, fossil fuel (e.g., coal, oil, gas) BLS 1.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kcp&L - Hq safety composite

Kcp&L - Hq scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 96% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
