How Evergy’s plans work

RS (Residential Standard Service). In July the first 900 kWh a month cost 14.2¢ each; then 15.1¢ above 900 kWh a month. An average Kansas home (1,364 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $15.25 a month.

RTOU-2 (Residential Time of Use, Two-Period). Peak 4 pm–8 pm on July weekdays; 4 of 24 hours carry the top price of 31.7¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 11.7¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 20.0¢. January weekdays range from 9.6¢ to 14.2¢. Summer pricing applies Jun–Sep; winter pricing Oct–May. Weekends follow a different schedule from weekdays. Fixed charge: $15.25 a month.

TOU (Residential Time of Use). Mid-peak 12 am–1 am, Mid-peak 7 am–5 pm, Peak 5 pm–9 pm, Mid-peak 9 pm–12 am on July weekdays; 4 of 24 hours carry the top price of 31.2¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 8.8¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 22.5¢. January weekdays range from 8.4¢ to 28.3¢. Weekends follow a different schedule from weekdays. Fixed charge: $15.25 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, Evergy billed its residential customers an average of 14.29¢ per kWh in 2024 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for Kansas’s price change since.
