List of power stations in Kansas

Sources of Kansas utility-scale electricity generation in gigawatt-hours, full-year 2024: ^[1]

1. Wind: 30,320 (51.9%)
2. Coal: 13,079 (22.4%)
3. Nuclear: 9,204 (15.7%)
4. Natural gas: 5,596 (9.57%)
5. Petroleum: 109 (0.19%)
6. Solar: 83 (0.14%)
7. Biomass: 64 (0.11%)
8. Hydroelectric: 20 (0.03%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Kansas , sorted by type and name. In 2023, Kansas had a total summer capacity of 19,197 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 58,456 GWh. ^[2] In 2024, the electrical energy generation mix was 51.9% wind, 22.4% coal, 15.7% nuclear, 9.6% natural gas, 0.2% petroleum, 0.1% solar, 0.1% biomass, and less than 0.1% hydroelectric. Distributed small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 167 GWh to the state's electricity grid in 2023. This is twice the 83 GWh (0.1% share) generated by Kansas's utility-scale solar facilities. ^[1]
