Evergy Kansas rate case faces KCC decision in December
The Kansas Corporation Commission will decide Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Kansas Metro rate requests. Evergy seeks a 9.77 percent increase for Kansas Central and 1.95 percent for the metro area, while the KCC staff backs a 7.32 percent cut for KC metro customers and notes higher infrastructure costs in Lawrence and surrounding areas. The case hinges on allowed return on equity, with Evergy seeking 10.25 percent versus 9.3 percent currently authorized. David Campbell says merger savings exceed targets and have been shared with customers as the company funds grid upgrades for a smarter energy future.
