Verification notes
Electric utility in Kansas and Missouri. Evergy's contact page gives one number for Kansas Metro, Missouri Metro and Missouri West customers (1-888-471-5275) and another for Kansas Central customers (1-800-383-1183); its scams page says these are the only two official support lines. Kansas service is regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC); Missouri service by the Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC). Evergy Missouri West's tariff (Rule 2.05, effective March 12, 2026) has Evergy try to reach the customer by phone call, text message or email before a disconnection, but Evergy's scams page says Evergy will never text about billing or possible disconnection. Treat any text that asks for payment as suspect and check the balance in My Account or by calling the number above. The Missouri tariff facts below come from the Evergy Missouri West tariff only; Evergy Missouri Metro has its own tariff, which was not checked.
