Kansas has the highest electric rates in the region.

That's a problem the Governor, KCC

and Legislature need to address.

 

Kansas is a high-cost energy state, and that's a problem. 

​

Electric rates have increased nearly 70% since 2007.

​

We all pay too much: homeowners and renters, businesses, schools, hospitals and manufacturers -- we all pay too much for electricity in Kansas.  After a decade of constant rate increases, Kansas now has the highest rates of any of the surrounding states. This must stop.

​

Regulators, legislators and the governor need to work with consumers, utilities and other stakeholders to figure out a way to make Kansas rates competitive with neighboring states.

​

Even as we work to lower rates, Evergy is working to push them higher.  Help us as we work to lower electric rates in Kansas.

Legislative action

  • 2018: Passed Senate Resolution condemning high rates

  • 2019: Passed SB 69, leading to robust study of electric rates and solutions to reduce rates

  • 2020: Passed HB 2585, eliminating state income tax for utilities, reducing gas and electric rates

 

Regulatory involvement

  • Intervene in utility rate requests

  • Fought for rate reductions in 2018 rate cases

  • Won 2019 case denying power plant purchase, saving customers millions

There's so much more to do to reduce Kansas electric rates
to regionally competitive levels.
