Evergy said Thursday that they have resumed normal operations after severe weather created stress on the regional power grid for most of the week and the company was asked to implement controlled, temporary emergency electricity reductions Monday and Tuesday. The Southwest Power Pool has returned to “Conservative Operations,” which means customer requests for conservation are no longer needed. Evergy continues to take cold-weather precautions in its operations, as it does throughout the winter months.
Evergy thanked their customers for their patience and support during this unprecedented extreme weather event. Together, they accomplished the overall goal of stabilizing the regional power grid and avoided broader, longer outages for customers.
