Kansas City, MO – Much of Kansas will likely see higher electric bills as a result of February’s deep freeze. However, electric customers in the Kansas City Metro could get refunds.
The Associated Press reports the difference has to do with how two different divisions of utility giant Evergy fared during the brutal cold.
The company’s Kansas Central division had to spend an additional $100 million to buy power.
Meanwhile, Evergy’s Metro Division that services the Kansas City area was able to generate surplus power and sell it to other utilities, generating $60 million in extra revenue.
