We know affordability is important to you—it’s important to us too.
Our linemen, engineers, support staff and customer service representatives live right here in Kansas and Missouri. We're not just Evergy employees. We're Evergy customers, too.
We're proud of our community and value our Midwest cost-of-living just like you do. That's why we're committed to keeping our energy rates as low as possible. We do that by reducing our costs, investing in our local community and giving you tools and options to control your energy use.
Reliability is a cornerstone of our operations, as it directly impacts our ability to provide consistent, uninterrupted services and ensure safety to all. Below are a few ways we continue to provide reliable, safe energy to you.
Our diverse energy mix
Using several different energy sources helps maintain a balanced, reliable power system that is flexible to changes in supply and demand.
- Using several different energy sources helps maintain a balanced power system that is flexible to changes in supply and demand. These changes can come from fuel prices, extreme weather events and other factors
- A diverse energy mix allows our system to adapt so you don't have to (getting electricity where and when you need it at an affordable price)
- See our timeline of energy mix progression over the years with our plan to become carbon neutral by 2045
Building clean energy capacity
Generating power that's cleaner, more affordable and more reliable than ever before—that’s our vision for a sustainable energy future.
- More than half the power we provide to homes and businesses is emissions-free, and we're committed to connecting more customers with clean energy
- With three solar farms (in Hutchinson, KS; Greenwood, MO; and Kansas City, MO) and another coming soon at KCI, we're focused on maintaining the grid by building clean energy capacity
- As a top-five wind producer in the United States, we continue to build a reliable foundation for the future
