How is this not illegal? Why is there not more of an uproar? What
follows is an example of how best to rip-off your customers by hiding the true
cost. They have even gone so far as to hide these costs from the
general public, which are only accessible through logging in to their
site. While not much of a change, it will enable Evergy to better hide
rate increases from consumers.
If they tell you otherwise, they are lying.

The amounts shown here are estimates based on your electricity usage
from available data using applicable rate prices and surcharges only.
They do not include local taxes or fees and are rounded to the nearest
$1 (with annual estimates rounded to the nearest $5), so they may not
match your total billed amounts each month. Your estimated costs will
vary based on your future energy use and future rate plan prices.
Note that, in order to ensure
a full 12 months of usage is included in our annual estimates, your
estimates may include more than 12 bill periods.
