Its joint venture partner Transource is part of the BECI 190-mile, 765-kilovolt transmission project, which is delaying its CPCN filing to no sooner than May 1, 2027.

Evergy co-owns Transource, a partner in the BECI transmission line developer, so the extended timeline touches it only indirectly. The delay to open houses in Q1 2027 and a filing no sooner than May 1, 2027 is procedural, with no costs, revenues or earnings disclosed, so no measurable price effect is expected.
