The Kansas Corporation Commission will hold a meeting on March 5  to provide Evergy Kansas customers across the state with information about three proposed generation facilities.

 

The meeting will focus on two combined cycle gas-fired generating turbine plants and one solar facility in the state. One gas plant would be located near Evergy’s Viola Substation in Sumner County and the second near Hutchinson in Reno County. The Kansas Sky solar facility would be located in Douglas County. The Commission will also provide an opportunity for public comments during the hearing.

 

Evergy has asked to recover the cost of construction work on the facilities andis expected ask for a recovery of the investments after the new facilities are in service. The solar farm is expected to be up and running by the end of 2026, while completion dates are anticipated in 2029 and 2030 for the gas plants.
