The Kansas Corporation Commission has scheduled a virtual meeting for Thursday to talk about Evergy’s plans for future transmission projects.
Evergy representatives will present details of the planned projects, take questions, and they will hear comments from Commissioners, Commission Staff and the Citizens Utility Ratepayer Board (CURB).
The costs of transmission projects are passed on to ratepayers in the form of a transmission delivery charge (TDC), which appears on monthly electric bills. The workshop on Thursday will give the public access to the transmission planning process, which is designed to provide the infrastructure necessary to ensure reliability while still maintaining affordability for ratepayers.
A bill passed by the Kansas Legislature this year requires a public meeting to review the utility’s annual transmission compliance filings to the Commission.
The virtual meeting will begin at 8 a.m. and it will be livestreamed on the KCC’s YouTube channel.
