Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
LONG-TERM DEBT	LONG-TERM DEBT Mortgage Bonds In April 2020, Evergy Kansas Central issued, at a discount, $500.0 million of 3.45% First Mortgage Bonds (FMBs), maturing in 2050 and issued a notice of redemption for its $250.0 million of 5.10% FMBs, which had an original maturity date of July 2020. The proceeds from the issuance of Evergy Kansas Central's $500.0 million of 3.45% FMBs will be used to redeem the $250.0 million of 5.10% FMBs in May 2020 and for general corporate purposes. As a result of the issuance of the $500.0 million of 3.45% FMBs discussed above, Evergy Kansas Central has the intent and ability to refinance its $250.0 million of 5.10% FMBs and has reflected this issuance within long-term debt, net rather than current maturities of long-term debt on Evergy's and Evergy Kansas Central's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020.
