Evergy Kansas agreement raises residential base rates 9.6%
A unanimous settlement agreement filed Tuesday at the Kansas Corporation Commission raises Evergy Kansas residential base rates by 9.6%.A residential customer using about 900 kilowatt hours will see a net increase of about $9 per month on their bill, said Evergy spokeswoman Gina Penzig. That would be in addition to the recent KCC approval to build two natural gas plants and a solar plant, which is expected to increase residential rates 8.6%.The next move is in the hands of the three-member KCC board, which will begin evidentiary hearings on the rate case Monday.
