Evergy formed in June 2018 when Great Plains Energy and Westar Energy merged after two years spent working through the regulatory approval process in Kansas and Missouri. With the integration complete and a new management team in place, Evergy is working to improve historically challenging regulation and invest in clean energy.
We expect annual dividend increases to average 6% over the next four years, in line with earnings growth.
Evergy must convince regulators that retiring coal plants and investing in more renewable energy is a good trade-off for customers.
