Two companies that have long been partners in providing Kansas electric power are locked in a battle over who should pay for what — and the outcome could affect your bills. The dispute, which will be resolved by federal energy regulators, pits rural Kansas customers who get their electricity from member-owned cooperatives against Evergy, a for-profit company and the dominant electric utility in the state. At stake is as much as $27 million that the Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, known as KEPCo, says it’s being overcharged by Evergy for operation and maintenance of power plants that Evergy runs but that supply power to both companies’ customers.
