We lost the interconnect with Evergy, which has caused a city-wide power outage. This is not an internal distribution issue.

Crews have already been dispatched and will continue to work as long as it is safe for them to do so.

Thank you for reporting your outages via TMG, but please know that we are aware of the issue and are responding. There is no need for additional reports at this time.
