Form EIA-861, 2024 final2025 early release shown in trendMonthly to Jul 2026

Average residential price, 2024. Dial position: 51% of 1,230 US utilities had this price or lower. Ticks: Missouri and US averages.

Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.

In its Form EIA-861 filing for 2024, Evergy Metro, an investor-owned utility, reported 518,415 residential customers in Missouri and 1 other state, with a service territory that touches 25 counties.

Its average residential price that year was 13.41¢ per kilowatthour, 3.9% above the Missouri average of 12.91¢ and 19% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.

That works out to an average residential bill of $118.05 a month on average use of 880 kWh a month. Across Missouri the average bill was $129.18 on 1,001 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.

For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 364.1 minutes per customer with major event days included and 83.5 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Missouri utilities reporting was 157.6 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 131% above that median.

The average price is up 5.3% on 2019, against up 15.9% for Missouri as a whole, and up 1.4% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 13.41¢.

Evergy Metro (MO)Missouri average

Form EIA-861M monthly sample, bundled residential service in Missouri. Preliminary until EIA finalises the year. Latest: 15.71¢ in July 2026, average bill $190.31 on 1,211 kWh.

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 19.7 TWh in total, of which 65.7% was its own net generation and 6.8 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 3,492 MW.

Reliability

SAIDI, all events364.1 min

SAIDI, without major event days83.5 min

Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 1.53 interruptions per customer with major event days, 0.94 without; CAIDI 237.4 minutes per interruption. EIA's Missouri total across all reporting utilities was 224.3 minutes with major event days and 106.0 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
