Reliable, sustainable, affordable energy that puts you first
That's everything to us.
You probably don’t think about energy as much as we do. You’ve got other things to focus on. And it’s our job to help you focus on them.
Because you depend on energy more than ever, we’ve made it more reliable, sustainable and affordable. Here’s what we’re doing to provide you the best energy value in the Midwest.
More Affordable
Working to drive energy prices down, even as costs around us rise
We've become even more efficient—finding savings, reducing costs and passing those savings on to you.
We produce energy from a mix of resources, balancing it with affordability in mind. And as rates in other Midwest electrical utilities have risen, ours have decreased by more than 5% over the past four years. This has helped keep our rates below inflation and far below increasing rates for other typical living costs like cable TV, healthcare or groceries.
But affordability means different things to different people—and no one's circumstances and needs are identical. That’s why we offer different rate plans, along with a variety of energy-saving discounts, tools and programs to manage your energy use in Missouri and, soon, Kansas.
When the pandemic brought financial uncertainty to so many homes and businesses in our community, we donated $1.8 million for COVID relief in 2020. And for those still facing challenges, we continue to offer financial assistance and options to help.
More Reliable
Delivering energy you can count on for those moments that matter
Seeing the world of energy differently means looking forward and innovating now. We're investing in next-gen infrastructure that’s capable of providing energy more dependable than anything before.
We use advanced technology, such as drones, to inspect our equipment and power lines (over 10,200 miles of transmission and 64,400 miles of distribution lines). And as systems age, we replace and upgrade structures to strengthen resiliency in harsh weather conditions.
We balance our energy from a variety of sources to help maintain a system that is responsive to supply and demand. The result: Power delivered with more than 99.98% reliability to more than 1.6 million customers.
And when the unexpected happens—when severe weather strikes our communities—we’re ready with a plan to prepare and restore power quickly and safely. We offer outage alerts by text and email, giving you the peace of mind and assurance that our teams are aware and working hard to turn your lights back on.
More Sustainable
Capturing more wind and gathering more sunshine for a cleaner energy future
Good for the environment and economy, we're expanding renewable resources to ensure reliable, affordable energy for today, and every tomorrow.
Today, about half of our energy comes from carbon-neutral sources. By 2045, we plan to be completely carbon neutral. Even though that seems like a long way off, there’s so much we’re doing now to provide sustainable energy.
Surpassing 90 million MWh of wind energy production, we use our location to our advantage. Because of the abundant renewable resources available here in the Midwest, we're able to help local businesses go 100% green. And we offer renewable energy subscription programs—so you can bring more clean energy to your home too.
We operate one of the largest utility-owned electric vehicle networks in the country—which includes over 2,000 EV ports. As more electric vehicles hit the road, we're working to make reliable, fast charging more affordable for you and local businesses.
