EVRG

Evergy Inc. is a regulated investor‑owned electric utility that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Kansas and Missouri. The company was created in 2018 through the merger of Westar Energy and Great Plains Energy, combining the largest electric utilities in the two states under a single holding company. Operating about 40 power plants with a mix of fossil, nuclear, wind, solar and landfill‑gas generation, Evergy serves roughly 1.7 million customers and is among the largest utilities in the Midwest. Its business model relies on regulated rates set by state commissions, allowing it to invest in grid modernization and a gradual shift toward lower‑carbon energy sources. Evergy’s market position reflects a long‑standing presence in the region and a focus on reliable service within a tightly regulated utility environment.
