A Kansas City power company that provides electrical power to 1.6 million customers in Kansas and Missouri has named a new member to its board of directors.

Evergy, Inc. announced John Arthur Stall will join the board and also serve on its nuclear, operations and environmental oversight committee. He will also stand for election by Evergy’s shareholders at the 2019 annual shareholder meeting.

Stall is an independent member of the board of directors of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation which runs Evergy’s Wolf Creek nuclear generating station. He previously had been President of NextEra’s nuclear division and was vice president of it’s St. Lucie nuclear generating station.

Stall also provides consulting services related to the nuclear industry, including services as an independent arbitrator in complex nuclear disputes, providing expert witness testimony to regulatory bodies and serving as the chair of an independent nuclear safety advisory committee for a publicly-traded electric utility that operates multiple nuclear generating units.

Evergy, Inc. was formed last year with the combination of KCP and L and Westar Energy.
