Evergy Metro, Inc. doing business as Evergy Missouri Metro has filed an application with the Missouri Public Service Commission seeking to adjust the Demand Side Investment Mechanism (DSIM) charge on customer bills. The DSIM charge, which appears as a separate line-item on customer bills, allows Evergy Missouri Metro to recover demand-side management program costs and incentives under the Missouri Energy Efficiency Investment Act (MEEIA).

According to the application, a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity a month will see the charge decrease by approximately $1.19 a month, effective August 1, 2023.

Applications to intervene and participate in this case must be filed no later than June 23, 2023, with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102, or by using the Commission’s Electronic Filing and Information System (EFIS) at www.psc.mo.gov.
