(MSC News)--A House bill, passed this year by the Kansas Legislature, requires a public meeting to review Evergy's annual compliance filings to the Kansas Corporation Commission, and this week, the energy company's plans will be discussed in public.

According to a release from the KCC, Evergy's plans for future transmission projects will be discussed publicly Thursday morning at 8:00, during a virtual meeting held by the KCC,

During the session, Evergy will present details of planned projects, take questions, and hear comments from Commissioners, Commission Staff, and the Citizens Utility Ratepayer Board.

The release notes that the costs of transmission projects are passed on to ratepayers in the form of a transmission delivery charge, which appears on monthly electric bills. The virtual workshop will give the public visibility to the transmission planning process, which is designed to provide the infrastructure necessary to ensure reliability while still maintaining affordability for ratepayers.

Members of the public are invited to watch the meeting, which will be livestreamed to the KCC- YouTube channel and recorded for later viewing.
