Evergy, Inc.
An electric utility holding company that powers homes and businesses across Kansas and Missouri, serving well over a million customers through regulated utilities and generating power from coal, wind, and natural gas. It was born in 2018 from a merger of Westar Energy and the parent of Kansas City Power & Light, and its name blends "ever" and "energy." Its roots reach back to 1882, when its forerunner first lit 13 downtown Kansas City businesses.
