State regulators on Tuesday morning approved a settlement agreement that will allow Evergy to increase electric rates in central Kansas but cut rates in the Kansas City area.
The Kansas Corporation Commission approved the unanimous agreement that was reached after nine days of intense negotiations in September.
The agreement calls for a rate increase in central Kansas by a net $74 million, down from the $204 million that the utility originally sought from the KCC.
It will be about a 4% increase for residential customers, or an estimated $4.64 a month for typical residential customers who live in Evergy . . .
