Lakeview filed two complaints on March 6 describing outages at its Lenexa campus: one concerning residential service for about 665 residents and the other concerning lines serving assisted living, skilled nursing facilities and the campus fire panel and elevator call boxes. The complaints, staff said, allege outages, intermittent service and poor communication from Everpass during the outage period.

Aaron Bailey, presenting the item, recommended the commission make a prima facie determination under K.A.R. 82-1-224 and open the complaints for investigation. Bailey said the same parties and identical issues supported consolidating the two complaints into one docket for investigation.

Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the proposed order. The commission voted unanimously to find a prima facie case and consolidate the two Lakeview complaints into a single docket for investigation.

Why it matters: The consolidated investigation could lead to a formal inquiry into Everpass Fiber Networks' service reliability at a campus that includes residential units and critical care infrastructure such as fire panel and elevator call connections.

Votes at a glance: The commission approved the proposed order to find a prima facie case under K.A.R. 82-1-224 and to consolidate dockets 25EFNT342COM and 25EFNT343COM by a recorded unanimous vote (three ayes).

Ending: The commission adjourned after concluding the noticed items; no immediate corrective measures for Everpass were ordered pending the investigation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Business Meeting for Thursday, March 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Kansas Corporation Commission found a prima facie case and consolidated two complaints from Lakeview Village Incorporated against Everpass Fiber Networks over service outages affecting residential and care-facility lines at its Lenexa campus.","taxTitle","Corporation Commission, Departments, Boards, and Commissions, Organizations, Executive, Kansas","taxId",24989,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6635728,"Kansas Corporation Commission grants Data Center Coalition intervention in Evergy large-load rate docket",289,117000,406000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2626919-fd0980cdd65c7bc7c1914f2c6029b312&start=117&end=406","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2626919-fd0980cdd65c7bc7c1914f2c6029b312/thumbnail_117000.jpg","/articles/6635728/Kansas/Kansas-Corporation-Commission-grants-Data-Center-Coalition-intervention-in-Evergy-large-load-rate-docket","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635728-c340aab4c3f0f8cd0c752a7bcc557203/orig.mp4?Expires=1773698885&Signature=C4FvxAEoDKqOGoz4wW14kglES-V-IZiqcD8yh~ns0hzOKplpG5EvNYErjagmLeWZjoibJ3jh9oqSKwVxg9BwbzUSxBrEXXx8UWZ-3gDsTdBINLiT2LDhtGrfbV2WEilG~dIxc0SXRSzZvSUK286DPRnuTaYBH-eUe66wJSu36FsbRsA1gh-ueWX75AuzpsmDvXq9~FK7aX~pF2Gu9FYzEqYwQhVY~rL9Xkz79hfw3Rx1yLkTq6SiEtznZuB2cQzrcPs89zKhsjSx3Fhp33mHduffCVhitiTGQ14y1i28qln3AG39b6JIWSwrcz0mFq524tQ3sZMZw~zrSDAOHYqaTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kansas Corporation Commission on March 13 approved a proposed order granting the Data Center Coalition intervention in docket 25EKME315TAR, a case examining Evergy’s expedited large-load power service rate plan for customers seeking to interconnect at more than 100 megawatts.

The order follows Evergy’s Feb. 11 filing for expedited approval of a large-load rate plan and a March 3 petition from the Data Center Coalition to intervene. The Kansas Industrial Consumers Group (KIC) filed a March 4 motion seeking denial of the coalition’s petition unless the coalition identified the specific entities it represents.

Brian Fedotin, presenting the item to commissioners, said the coalition’s members include potential Evergy customers who would take service under the proposed rate plan and that the coalition had listed all 35 of its members in a docket filing. Fedotin recommended the commission grant intervention, saying the coalition had met the requirements for participation in the case. He also said KIC “can always try to get that information through discovery.”

Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the proposed order. The commission recorded unanimous aye votes and approved the order granting intervention in docket 25EKME315TAR.

Why it matters: The ruling allows the Data Center Coalition and its listed members to take part in the proceeding that will consider a new tariff offering for very large electricity customers, which could affect contract terms and interconnection conditions for entities seeking to locate large data centers in Evergy’s service territory.

Votes at a glance: The commission approved the proposed order to grant the Data Center Coalition’s petition to intervene in docket 25EKME315TAR by a recorded unanimous vote (three ayes). No further conditions on intervention were imposed; the commission noted KIC may pursue discovery to learn which coalition members are in active discussions with Evergy.

Ending: The commission moved on after approving the order; no additional action on the underlying Evergy rate filing was taken at the March 13 business meeting.","The Kansas Corporation Commission approved a proposed order granting the Data Center Coalition permission to intervene in docket 25EKME315TAR, which concerns Evergy’s expedited large-load power service rate plan for customers over 100 megawatts.","actionData","errors"]
