Evergy Missouri Metro Files for $137.9 Million Revenue Increase

Evergy Missouri Metro has officially filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission to increase its annual revenue by approximately $137.9 million through higher electric rates. The filing was primarily necessitated by the expiration of the utility company's authority regarding its fuel adjustment clause. This proposed rate hike is expected to impact approximately 313,000 customers within the Missouri Metro service area. Notably, the request excludes costs associated with serving data centers in the Kansas City region, focusing instead on standard utility operations. The Missouri Public Service Commission has established a formal deadline of February 27, 2026, for parties wishing to intervene in the case. If approved, the increase would bolster Evergy’s cash flow and revenue stability, providing a positive outlook for the company's regional financial performance.
