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.
