*TOPEKA* – The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) will begin public hearings next week to give Evergy customers an opportunity to learn more about the company’s rate increase request and to make comments before the Commission.

The application, filed with the KCC on April 25, requests an average monthly rate increase of $14.24 for Evergy Central customers and $3.47 for Evergy Metro customers. Commission approval is required before a regulated utility can change its rates.

The first of three public hearings will be held on Tuesday, July 11 in Topeka at the Washburn Institute of Technology’s Conference Center at 5724 SW Huntoon beginning at 6 p.m.

The second hearing will be held on Thursday, July 13 in Overland Park at the KU Edwards BEST Conference Center at 12600 S. Quivira Road beginning at 6 p.m.

A third public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, July 27 in Wichita at Wichita State University’s Lowe Auditorium at the Hughes Metropolitan Complex, 5014 E 29th St. North beginning at 6 p.m.

For those unable to attend a hearing in person, a virtual option via Zoom is available to allow remote participants to comment. Advance registration on the KCC’s website [ [link removed] ] is required for those participating by Zoom. The hearings will be broadcast on the KCC’s YouTube channel [ [link removed] ] for viewing only.
