Evergy Proposes New Default Billing Plan Ahead of Time-Based Billing Change
Evergy, an electric utility company, has requested permission to change the default plan for customers who do not select one of the four new time-based plans that will be implemented next month. The Missouri Public Service Commission had ordered Evergy to switch to time-based plans for peak summer hours starting in November 2022. Evergy is offering four plans for Missouri residential customers, and they are seeking to change the default plan to the Peak Reward Saver plan, which offers lower rates during peak weeknight hours compared to the current default plan. Evergy is also asking for the option to offer a standard tier rate plan in 2024 for customers who may not be able to adjust their electricity usage for time-based plans.
