AFP-KS Statement on Evergy Rate Increase
TOPEKA, KS – Americans for Prosperity-Kansas (AFP-KS) opposed a $128 million rate increase to Evergy approved by state regulators today that will put a massive financial strain on Kansas families and businesses.
Next year, AFP-KS will pursue legislation that puts ratepayers first and lowers energy costs for Kansas families.
Elizabeth Patton, AFP-KS state director, gave the following statement:
“State-sanctioned monopolies belong in communist China, not the Sunflower State. When companies can’t compete to provide the best services for the best prices, taxpayers’ utility prices are instead decided by unelected bureaucrats. Today’s decision by the Kansas Corporation Commission will make our state a less appealing place to do business and raise a family.”
Background:
AFP-KS previously filed comments in the case, arguing that an open marketplace of energy providers would lead to lower costs for consumers.
