Evergy Missouri Metro has filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission to adjust the fuel adjustment charge (FAC) on the bills of its electric customers.

Officials say Evergy Missouri Metro made two filings. In its first filing (Case No. ER-2022-0025), Evergy Missouri Metro includes costs from January through June.

According to the filing, it consists of actual fuel and purchased power costs, net of off-system sale revenues incurred by the Company, less an adjustment for credits incurred as a result of the mid-February 2021 cold weather event known as Winter Storm Uri. The second case is Evergy Missouri Metro’s true-up filing (Case No. EO-2022-0024).

According to the filings, a residential customer using 1,000 kWh a month will see the monthly FAC charge drop by approximately $0.27 a month. The proposed change would take effect on Friday, October 1.

Applications to intervene and participate in these cases must be filed no later than Monday, August 16 with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0360, or by using the Commission’s Electronic Filing and Information System at www.psc.mo.gov.
