Higher-use customers to see Evergy surcharge

Customers will see a 2-cent increase after an adjustment in the Renewable Energy Standard Rate Adjustment Mechanism charge. The cost increase was approved by the Missouri Public Service Commission and will take effect Dec. 1, 2020.

Evergy Missouri West customers will see a $0.02 increase on their monthly statements beginning in December.

The Missouri Public Service Commission approved the electrical company’s application to adjust the Renewable Energy Standard Rate Adjustment Mechanism (RESRAM) charge.

“The RESRAM charge is designed to recover costs associated with Missouri’s Renewable Energy Standard,” the Missouri Public Service Commission said in a news release this week.

Residential customers who use 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month will see the RESRAM charge increase to 90 cents from 88 cents beginning Dec. 1.
