Who Provides Utilities in Missouri?

Missouri's electric picture splits city by city more than it consolidates. Evergy covers Kansas City and Lee's Summit in our sample, but Springfield, Columbia and Independence each run their own municipal electric utility instead. There's no plan to shop for — the utility holding your address is simply yours.

Evergy in Kansas City — municipal power almost everywhere else we've sampled

Evergy delivered electricity at sampled addresses in Kansas City and Lee's Summit, on Missouri's western edge near the Kansas line. The rest of our sample runs on municipal utilities instead: Springfield's is City Utilities of Springfield, Columbia runs its own city-owned electric department, and Independence does the same. That's three separate city-run utilities alongside one investor-owned one.

None of these compete for your address — Missouri doesn't run a retail electric market, so whichever utility holds your specific block delivers the power and sends the bill, full stop. Gas and water aren't consistently confident yet in our sampling for these cities, so it's worth confirming those accounts individually rather than assuming they follow the electric utility.

Missouri utility questions, answered

Who is my electric company in Missouri — Evergy or someone else?

It depends on your city. Evergy serves Kansas City and Lee's Summit in our sample, but Springfield, Columbia and Independence each run their own city-owned municipal electric utility instead. Run the lookup to confirm which one holds your specific address.

Why does Springfield have its own electric utility?

Springfield runs City Utilities of Springfield, a municipal utility the city owns and operates itself, rather than buying power from Evergy — the same pattern shows up in Columbia and Independence, each running their own city electric department.

Does Missouri have retail electric choice?

No — Missouri doesn't run a deregulated electricity market. Whichever utility serves your address, whether that's Evergy or one of the municipal utilities in Springfield, Columbia, or Independence, is who you sign up with directly.

Who provides gas and water in Missouri cities?
