You’ll be paying a little bit more for your monthly energy bill over the next two years.

The following “Account Alert” message was sent to Evergy customers via email today, March 24, 2023:

In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri created energy shortages across much of the central United States. As a result, Evergy Kansas Central experienced extraordinary costs related to generating, purchasing, and delivering power to its customers during the storm.
 

Impacts on your bill

The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) has approved an agreement allowing Evergy to recover those costs, outlined in Docket No. 21-EKME-329-GIE.Evergy works closely with state regulators to keep energy costs as low as possible, even in extraordinary circumstances like storm Uri. In fact, customers of electric utilities in other Uri-effected states will likely have larger per-customer recovery costs than Evergy customers.

For Evergy Kansas Central customers, a monthly charge will be added to bills over a two-year period from April 2023 to March 2025. The average monthly cost per residential customer is estimated to be $2.82, which will be reflected in the Fuel Used in Power Generation line item on bills.

Important: Note that the charge will NOT be included as a separate line item but will be part of the Fuel Used in Power Generation category.
