Evergy has filed a request with the Kansas Corporation Commission to recover investments made to improve service to customers with a more reliable and resilient power grid and updated customer service systems. This is the first base rate review Evergy has requested in five years.
The company is requesting a net revenue increase of $204 million or a 9.77% overall rate increase —if the full request is approved, the monthly bill increase for an average residential customer would be about $14.24. Evergy Kansas Central includes approximately 736,000 customers in the Eastern third of the state. In the Evergy Kansas Metro service area, including parts of Franklin, Anderson, Osage, Douglas, Miami and Linn Counties, the company is requesting a net revenue increase of $14 million or a 1.95% overall rate increase leading to a monthly bill increase for an average residential customer would be about $3.47.
