More than 8% annual earnings-per-share growth beginning in 2028 is the number Evergy is projecting. The utility links that target to a plan for another Energy Savings Account program in 2026, a two-year gap between the program's expected launch and the year the accelerated growth rate is scheduled to begin.
The 2028 growth floor
Evergy's guidance sets a floor of greater than 8% annual EPS growth starting in 2028. No ceiling is attached to the figure. The 2028 start date means the window for this growth rate has not yet opened; the target is projected, not contracted.
The 2026 ESA program
The reference to "another" Energy Savings Account program in 2026 confirms prior ESA activity in Evergy's history. The 2026 program is the near-term anchor the company names alongside its 2028 earnings commitment. Between those two years sits the work the ESA is meant to do before the higher growth rate is expected to materialize.
Note to editor: Source material contains two discrete data points: the greater-than-8% EPS growth target beginning 2028 and the 2026 ESA program. No additional figures, base-year EPS, dollar amounts, or named executives were provided. Piece reflects only what the source states; padding to 350 words would require fabrication.
