flag Missouri approved higher electricity rates for large users, like data centers, to cover grid costs and protect residential rates.

flag Missouri regulators approved a new electricity rate on November 13, 2025, requiring large users—such as data centers—consuming 75 megawatts or more during peak times to pay higher rates reflecting their grid impact. flag The Missouri Public Service Commission, led by Chairwoman Kayla Hahn, backed the tariff proposed by Evergy to ensure major users help cover infrastructure costs, preventing residential customers from bearing the burden. flag While most stakeholders supported the move, the Office of Public Counsel and commission staff opposed it, citing complexity in an alternative proposal that could deter investment. flag The rule aligns Missouri with Kansas and aims to balance economic growth with grid reliability and fairness.
