Kansas regulators voted Thursday to turn down a plan by Evergy to charge a monthly grid access fee to solar users, handing something of a temporary win for them.
The Kansas Corporation Commission decided to reject the company’s solutions, reported the Hutchinson News.
Evergy had wanted to charge solar users a grid access fee of $3 per kilwatt even if electricity is not taken from the grid. The company’s plan would have averaged $20 to $30 a month for the solar panel users.
The Thursday decision means residential solar users will stay as a separate class of users and will be charged the identical rates as standard residential customers of the company.
