About electricity rates in Kansas
Kansas has a regulated market with no retail choice. Evergy, formed from the merger of Westar Energy and Kansas City Power and Light, serves Wichita, Topeka and the Kansas suburbs of Kansas City and is regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. Electric cooperatives and a large number of municipal utilities serve the rest of the state.
Kansas is one of the windiest states, and wind has grown to supply a very large share of its generation, alongside coal, natural gas and the Wolf Creek nuclear plant. The state sits in the Southwest Power Pool grid. Hot summers drive air-conditioning demand, while winters are cold and heated mostly with natural gas. Net metering is available for rooftop solar within certain limits.
