As Evergy employees, we’re also customers, and we work every day to keep energy affordable for everyone in our community. If you, a friend, or a neighbor could use a little extra help, we’re here. That's why Maria, Kansas City, MO community outreach specialist cares about making affordable energy accessible to the most vulnerable people in our community. Almost 1/3 of customers qualify for some sort of help and her role is to connect those customers to utility payment assistance and other resources they need! By connecting these customers to utility assistance, families saved $42 million last year while keeping the lights—and the AC—on. Learn more how we're making an impact: http://spr.ly/6042Sz3jm

As our area experiences record growth in new business, we’re also seeing new jobs, economic opportunities, support for our schools and so much more. Evergy is ready to power our growing local economy with reliable, lower cost energy, and we are excited to announce the construction of two new natural-gas generation plants in Hutchinson and Sumner County. Energy from natural gas, which is abundant right here in the Midwest, is a practical, lower cost, and most of all—reliable—energy source.

"These companies when they locate in our service territory, they put downward pressure on electricity prices by contributing to other fixed costs of operating the electric grid and that helps to hold down prices for all of our customers." ~ Evergy CEO David Campbell during Monday's news conference announcing two new 705 MW high-efficiency natural gas plants in Hutchinson and Sumner County.

“High-efficiency modern natural gas plants will meet the electricity needs for our region’s growing economy. These plants also will bring good paying jobs and tax dollars to Kansas,” said David Campbell, Evergy Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Dispatchable natural gas is an important resource within Evergy’s growing and diverse energy portfolio, complementing our planned investment in wind and solar resources and supporting our commitment to affordable, reliable and sustainable electricity.” The two new plants will provide flexible generation that pairs well with the abundant renewable resource potential in Evergy’s service area and will meet stringent emissions standards. The plant in Sumner County is expected to begin providing electricity in 2029, and the plant in Reno County is expected to be in service in 2030. “Kansas is experiencing record economic growth, and Evergy is prepared to deliver the reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy needed.” Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said. “Evergy’s multi-billion dollar investment brings direct value to the Hutchinson and Sumner County areas in jobs and tax dollars. It also ensures Kansas can continue to invite business growth that benefits the entire state.”
