KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Feb. 2, 2022 – Evergy has received customer reports of people placing phone calls to customers and calling themselves “Clean Energy” or “Clean Energy Utility.” They claim to work with Evergy and are erroneously informing customers that Evergy will be asking customers to reduce energy use due to the winter weather and cold temperatures. They’re telling customers they will provide free advice and technology to help when Evergy calls on reduced energy use from its customers. “Clean Energy/Clean Energy Utilities” is not a partner or program of Evergy’s.
Evergy does not anticipate electricity shortages during this cold spell. Additional resources at Evergy power plants have been deployed to be prepared for a potential increase in energy demand during the winter storm.
