The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved an electric territorial agreement between Evergy Missouri West, Inc. d/b/a Evergy Missouri West and a Lafayette County city which designates Higginsville as the exclusive electric service provider for two parcels of land previously served by Evergy Missouri West. The two parcels of land are in an area immediately adjacent to Higginsville’s city limits.

The City of Higginsville’s electric department is extending an electric three-phase line near the junction of I-70 and Missouri Highway 13. As part of that extension, Higginsville sought to acquire two customers from Evergy Missouri West.

The Commission approved the territorial agreement finding that it establishes exclusive service territories for the two electric suppliers.

Evergy Missouri West provides electric service to approximately 347,400 customers in 31 Missouri counties, including Carroll, Johnson, Lafayette and Pettis in the KMMO listening area.
