What Kansas power is made of

In plain words. Wind is the biggest source in Kansas (47%), and the power made there is about as clean as the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 840 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 519 MW are under construction.

In 2025 Kansas plants of 1 MW or more made 62.0 TWh. The biggest sources: wind 47.1%, coal 31.2%, nuclear 14.9%. For comparison, wind makes 10.4% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 47.9% (22.6% for the U.S.). Kansas plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.
