Powering our energy grid
That’s why we’re making cost-effective improvements that will pay off in efficiency and resilience.
- We’re making thoughtful upgrades to protect grid health, especially during periods of high demand and extreme weather
- We make common-sense investments in emissions-free fuels, ensuring a balance of energy sources for all-season dependability
- Automated switches, drones, and real-time monitoring systems help us respond faster to outages
Keeping you informed
When outages happen, it’s our priority to get you powered back up as soon as possible, keeping you informed along the way
- Text messages and emails alert you to outages in real time, along with restoration updates
- Our app allows you to stay connected, report outages and get updates wherever you are
- Our outage map shows the impact of issues in your neighborhood, along with updates on what we’re doing to get the power back on
Staying one step ahead
We're constantly preparing for what could happen next. We are proactive to ensure we have the people, the equipment, and the know-how to tackle issues.
- We follow a year-round inspection and maintenance schedule to avoid problems down the road and ensure that our plants are in top shape
- Our team monitors the forecast, so we have the right people and equipment where they're most needed
- We're replacing wood poles with steel, as they are more resilient against wind and ice

Tree Trimming Lessens Outages
Evergy's vegetation team inspects lines, clears brush and trims trees to improve reliability and safety. They remove roughly 50,000,000 sq. ft. of brush and trim 500,000 trees near power lines every single year. Make sure to watch their "Right Tree, Right Place" video to help prevent outages and keep yourself safe.
