Evergy warns of phone scam telling customers they have been overcharged
Lawrence’s electric utility provider is reporting a surge in phone scams using false information to gather credit card information from customers.
Lawrence’s electric utility provider is reporting a surge in phone scams using false information to gather credit card information from customers.
Evergy customers in Kansas could soon get discounts and rebates to upgrade their homes to be more energy efficient.
Here’s an update on the streetlights casting a blue-purple hue over Lawrence’s roadways.
Four of the five members on Evergy’s finance committee, tasked with recommending management and investment decisions to the board of directors, were selected by activist hedge funds that critics worry are asserting undue influence over the electric utility.
Evergy can retire two more coal-burning power plants within the decade without sacrificing affordability or massively increasing rates, environmental advocates say in a new report.
Evergy and environmental groups agree investing in energy efficiency is far cheaper for the company and, in turn, its customers than having to add more electric generation, like new wind farms.
Evergy will convert part of its Lawrence coal plant to run occasionally on natural gas despite earlier plans to shutter it completely and fall short of earlier pledges to add massive amounts of solar power to the electric grid, the utility revealed in regulatory filings this week.
Evergy customers with solar panels on their homes will get refunds in the coming weeks for the unconstitutional charges the electric utility required them to pay.
Some groups representing large-scale customers say the state has more work to do investigating the cause of huge natural gas price spikes during February’s winter storm.
To some, they’re kind of cool; reminiscent of a rave. To others, they’re the scourge of our day — or more accurately, of our nights. They are purple streetlights.
