Evergy's work over the past few years to improve utility rate regulation in Missouri and Kansas is starting to pay off. As new large-load customers like data centers locate in Evergy's service territories, regulatory support for new-generation projects and premium large-load customer rates should boost earnings while keeping residential customer rates well below the national average.
Evergy's 2.5 GW of data centers with signed agreements and under construction is one of the largest of any US utility relative to its size.
Evergy must find ways to limit customer rate increases while retiring coal plants and investing in more renewable energy and natural gas generation.
