Evergy Missouri West commercial electricity prices, 2015 to 2025

In 2015 Evergy Missouri West billed its commercial customers an average of 8.59¢ per kWh. In 2025 the figure was 8.74¢, so it rose 1.7% over 10 years.

Average use and average bill are the utility’s commercial sales and revenue divided by its commercial customers and by twelve. The bill is an all-in figure: energy, delivery, demand and fixed charges together. A few very large customers pull both averages up, so most businesses use and pay less than the average.

Residential, commercial and industrial prices at Evergy Missouri West

In 2025 the average commercial price at Evergy Missouri West was 28% below the residential figure and 40% above the industrial one. Larger customers take power at a higher voltage and use it more steadily, so at most utilities the average falls from residential to commercial to industrial. Which class an account falls in is the utility’s decision, and the line between commercial and industrial is drawn differently from one utility to the next.

How Evergy Missouri West’s commercial rates are set

Evergy Missouri West is investor-owned, so its rates are set in cases before the Missouri Public Service Commission and published in a tariff, which is a public document. A commercial account is billed on a rate schedule, chosen by the size of the account and the voltage it takes power at, and a schedule usually combines a fixed monthly charge, a charge per kWh and, above a certain size, a demand charge on the highest rate of draw in the month. The schedule code is printed on the bill. There is no competitive supply market for ordinary commercial accounts in Missouri, so the levers are the schedule, the peak and the amount used.

Meters, time-varying rates and net metering at Evergy Missouri West

EIA counts 42,506 commercial meters at Evergy Missouri West in 2025, and 42,229 of them (99%) are advanced meters (AMI), which record use at least hourly and report it to the utility at least daily. Of the rest, 277 are standard meters. An advanced meter is what makes interval data possible, and interval data is what shows when a building’s peak demand happens.

At Evergy Missouri West, 13 commercial customers were on a time-varying rate in 2025, about 0.0% of its commercial customers. A time-varying rate charges more in some hours than in others, so when a business uses power matters as well as how much. The kinds Evergy Missouri West reports offering commercial customers are time-of-use pricing.

EIA records 899 commercial net-metered generating systems at Evergy Missouri West in 2025, with 25.4 MW of capacity between them: about 22 for every 1,000 commercial customers. Net metering credits a customer for power its own system sends to the grid; the terms are in the utility’s tariff.

Where Evergy Missouri West serves

EIA records Evergy Missouri West serving customers in 31 Missouri counties: Andrew, Atchison, Barton, Bates, Benton, Buchanan, Carroll, Cass, Cedar, Clay, Clinton, Dade, Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Henry, and 13 more. A county can be shared between utilities, so this does not tell you who serves a given address. The utility that serves an address is the one named on its bill.

Other utilities in Missouri

The average each billed its commercial customers in 2025. The Missouri page has the state’s own figures and every utility with 500 or more commercial customers.

• Ameren Missouri (10.29¢)
• Evergy Metro (10.41¢)
• Liberty (12.44¢)
• City Utilities of Springfield (9.37¢)

What these figures can and cannot tell you

• They are averages over every commercial customer. A utility whose commercial customers are mostly large averages fewer cents per kWh than one serving mostly small shops, so a lower figure can mean larger customers and not a lower rate.
• They are not a rate schedule. None of these figures is a charge printed in Evergy Missouri West’s tariff, and nothing here works out a bill from one. The tariff index lists the utilities whose filed schedules are quoted on this site.
• They are annual and final. EIA publishes utility figures once a year. The Missouri page carries the state’s trailing 12 months, which is more recent and still preliminary.

For one building, the cost estimator gives a range by building type, size and state, and price by utility sets every utility side by side. Commercial vs residential vs industrial compares the classes in every state.
