Communities Awarded by Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) as "Solar Ready" Makes it Easier for Residents and Businesses to use Solar Energy. 

Top Solar Contractor
As part of the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative Rooftop Solar Challenge, Mid-America Regional Council was awarded $2.575 million to make it easier for residents and businesses to use solar energy. The initiative supports efforts to cut red tape, reduce "plug-in" costs and make solar energy fully cost-competitive with traditional energy sources. 

26 jurisdictions in Missouri and Kansas are actively participating in the Solar Ready II program including Belton, Blue Springs, Gladstone, Grandview, Independence, Kansas City, Lansing, Leavenworth, Lenexa, Lee's Summit, Liberty, Mission, North Kansas City, Oak Grove, Olathe, Platte City, Prairie Village, Raymore, Raytown, Roeland Park, Shawnee and Sugar Creek, as well as Clay, Jackson, Johnson and Wyandotte county governments.

Yes, Your KCP&L Electric Bill is Higher. A 9% Rate Increase to be Exact. 

The Kansas Corporation approved the 9% rate increase which went into effect on October 1, 2015. The average Kansas residential customer saw an increase of approximately $8/month. KCP&L originally requested a 12.5% increase to cover the environmental upgrade costs of the La Cygne power plant, Wolf Creek improvements and to improve infrastructure of KCP&L.

Westar Customer? You can expect to see a 4% rate increase in November.

Kansas Corporation Commission approved an order on September 24th to raise customer's rates. Most households in Westar's territory can expect to see an increase on their electric bill of $5-$7/month. The rate increase will help cover costs Westar has already incurred for improving power plants.

Home Energy Monitoring System

Real-time Home Energy Monitoring is the fastest way to learn how to reduce your energy use and reduce your energy bill. Good Energy Solutions can install and get you started saving money today!

An installed sensor in your electric panel monitors your home energy use in real time so you can see what's on by using either a smartphone app or the website. Get a total energy perspective by seeing how much energy you are using and generating at any single moment, in an easy to use app.

Once installed, customers have reduced their energy use by up to 20% simply by changing their energy use patterns. In addition, they have reduced their energy bills by pinpointing phantom and always on power costs. Minute to minute energy evaluations converts into consumption history over a day, week, month or year. Plus the system allows you to see what your projected bill will be so you can budget your energy costs and be alerted when you are trending over it.

By monitoring both energy generation and consumption, you can see what your net consumption is and how much money your solar investment is saving you. Have you had your renewable energy system for awhile? No worries, the Energy Monitoring System can be retrofitted.
