Intervener in the 2025 Triennial IRP
Evergy is on a trajectory to reduce its baseline emissions 70% by 2030. In the current Evergy 2024-25 Triennial IRP, NEE will:
- Ensure Evergy is making full and transparent use of its new capacity expansion and production cost modeling.
- Ensure natural gas price cost assumptions and planning processes accurately reflect current market realities with recommendations to increase renewable energy in the utility’s portfolio to mitigate fuel cost risks and act as a hedge against price volatility.
- Provide accurate economics of proposed carbon capture and storage, firm dispatchable resource options, and accelerated battery, solar, and energy efficiency resource options.
Intervener in the 2022 Energy Triennial IRP
NEE was an intervener in the 2022 Evergy Triennial IRP and filed an alternative energy plan with the Missouri and Kansas utility commissions. Our alternative plan showed substantial cost savings and economic benefits that would save $600-700 million over the planning period to 2040, compared to Evergy’s plan. The NEE plan retired more coal, sooner, and added more wind, solar, storage, and efficiency.
The NEE model showed how early retirement of Evergy coal units provides significant customer savings: $661 million in present value savings to Evergy Metro customers, and $724 million to Evergy Missouri West customers. The model showed how these savings could be increased by several hundred million dollars through low-cost refinancing of coal debt and could be increased further by additional energy efficiency investments.
