The Kansas Corporation Commission is now requiring Evergy to explain itself about a $1.2 billion increase in its capital spending plan and how it will affect Kansas customers and compare it to the projections shared in 2021. The order requires Evergy to schedule a workshop to discuss the matter by September 28th, which is to be held before December first.
During the workshop, Evergy will have the chance to explain the necessity and impact of the proposed Capital Spending and answer questions from Commissioners, staff and the Citizens utility Rate Payer Board. There are concerns about the dramatic Capital Expenditure increases projections and whether the trend will undermine the goal of regionally competitive rates, especially with rising inflation. Evergy says the workshop is a great way to provide more information and describe how it will benefit all customers
