With a battle developing over utility regulation, new data shows Kansas has seen a gradual decline in electric rates over a six-year period. Justin Grady, of the Kansas Corporation Commission’s utilities division, briefed the House utilities committee on federal data showing that average Kansas electric rates declined 0.19% from 2016 to 2021. Kansas was only one of two states in the Midwest that saw a decline in average electric rates during the six-year period for which data was collected from the Energy Information Administration.
