Docket No. ER20-396-000

Dissenting in Part Regarding Evergy Kansas Central, Inc.

I dissent in part from today’s order accepting revisions to Evergy Kansas Central, Inc’s (Evergy) Full Requirements Electric Service Agreements and tariff in which the Commission modifies the proposed effective date to November 18, 2019.  I would have granted Evergy’s requested effective date of June 28, 2018, consistent with the Commission’s long-standing policy to grant requested waivers of prior notice where proposed tariff revisions represent a rate decrease. 1


For these reasons, I respectfully dissent in part.
