Evergy Kansas Central asked the Kansas Corporation Commission on Jan. 31, 2025 for a $196.4 million (8.62%) increase, which Evergy said would raise the average residential bill about $13.05, or 10.36%, a month; it cited nearly $1 billion of grid, reliability and technology investment since its 2023 case. A unanimous settlement filed in July 2025 cut the increase to $128 million, which Evergy said meant about $9 a month, or 6.97%, for the average residential customer. The commission approved the settlement on Sept. 25, 2025, with new rates starting in the October 2025 billing cycle; the commission's own estimate is about $8.47 a month for a household using 900 kWh.
