Energy Savings
Store Electricity when Rates are Low, Use when Rates are High
How Much can I save on my Evergy Energy bill by installing a Whole-Home battery?
Let's take an average sized home using approximately 12,000kWh of electricity a year.
In the Missouri Metro Area that electricity will cost $1,577 this year.
In the Missouri West footprint that electricity will cost $1,268 this year.
With a Whole-Home Battery installed this same 12,000kWh of electricity would cost you:
$553 in the Missouri Metro Area ($1,024 Savings)
$492 in the Missouri West Area. ($776 Savings)
A 65% Savings in the Missouri Metro Area and a 62% Savings in the Missouri West Area.

Harness the Power of Time-of-Use Savings with a Home Battery
​
With electricity costs climbing and environmental sustainability more important than ever, it's time to think about how we power our homes. Enter the home battery — your solution to harnessing energy smarter, not harder. By storing electricity during low-cost hours and using it during peak rates, a home battery system doesn't just power your home; it powers your ability to save.
​
What are Time-of-Use (TOU) Rates?
​
TOU rates are more than just numbers on your utility bill; they're opportunities. These rates vary, typically increasing during high-demand hours of the day and dropping during the night or off-peak times. With a home battery, you can charge during those cheap, off-peak times and use your stored energy when rates are highest, significantly reducing your electricity bill.
​How a Home Battery Works
​
A home battery system works by storing electricity when it’s cheapest and powering your home when rates are at their peak. This not only means significant savings but also provides a reliable energy source during unexpected power outages. Here's how it seamlessly integrates into your home:
​
1. Energy Storage: During off-peak hours, your home battery charges itself by drawing and storing cheaper electricity.
​
2. Automatic Switching: The system automatically switches to battery power during peak rate periods, utilizing the stored energy, thus avoiding higher electricity costs.
3. Continuous Monitoring: Smart technology manages your energy flow, ensuring optimal usage and extending the life of your battery.
