Evergy Kansas Central, Inc · KS
When are Evergy Kansas Central’s peak hours?
Evergy Kansas Central’s peak hours are 4pm–8pm, June–September on all 2 of its time-of-use plans. Everything outside those hours is off-peak, apart from a mid-priced shoulder period.
At peak, RTOU-2 charges 27.1¢ a kWh; off-peak it is 7.1¢ — 3.8× apart. Prices from the filed tariff.
These hours only apply if you are on a time-of-use plan. Evergy Kansas Central’s default plan, RS (Residential Standard Service), charges one rate at every hour of the day. A household that never switched has no peak hours to avoid — and no cheap hours to use.

Peak and off-peak are the highest and lowest energy prices on each plan; some plans add a shoulder price between them. Fixed monthly charges are not included here — they are on each plan’s page.
What is it worth to move a load out of peak?
On TOU, every kilowatt-hour a day you move from 4pm to midnight is worth about $74 a year in the month the gap is widest. An electric car charging 10 kWh a night, or a water heater on a timer, is the kind of load that actually moves.
When should you charge an electric car at home? →Where this comes from
Hours and prices are read from the tariff Evergy Kansas Central filed with its regulator, as published in the NREL Utility Rate Database, and drawn the same way on every plan page. If your plan is not listed here, either it has no hourly pricing or its filing is too old or too partial for us to price honestly — we leave those out rather than guess.
