    Julien Smith's questions to Evergy Inc (EVRG) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Julien Smith from Jefferies asked what factors, such as remaining IRP investments or SPP's ITP, could push growth beyond the high end of the 4-6% range. He also questioned the decision to exclude a future CCGT from the current capital plan.

    Answer

    Chairman and CEO David Campbell acknowledged that the capital plan does not yet include all elements from the IRP, such as a CCGT and a CT planned for 2031-2032, which represent future capital opportunities. He characterized this exclusion as a level of conservatism, emphasizing the company's focus on a plan they have high confidence in executing, while noting these future projects represent "real tailwinds and upside."
